I The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE t XXIX.-IOWA So f Iowa was originally occupied by the Iowa In dians. The ac tual meaning *has been titerpreted in several ways. Some say It means "beau itiful land," but the more likely derivation Is the Algonquin word 4"ajawa" which means "across" or "beyond." This was probably' Sapplied to this tribe of Indians 4by the Illinois tribes who were hostile to them, and resided on the eastern side of the Missis sippi river. The early white vis itors to this region included Mar quette and Jollet, -who lanied here on their explorations of the -Mississippi in 1673. The first settlement was made, by a French Canadian named Julian Dubuque. He obtained in 1788 a large grant of land from the Indians, where the city which was named after him now stands. Here he flourished, mining lead and trading with the Indians, until his death In 1810, when this settlement was given up. With the acquisition of the Louisana Purchase in 1803. Iowa, which was a part of this huge territory, came into the hands of the United States from France. At first Iowa was a part of the Louisiana territory, then of Missouri territory. Jater it formed a portion of Michigan territory and then of Wisconsin territory. In 1838, however, It attained a distinct individuality when it was formed into the Iowa territory. Pioneers soon came in large numbers and about 1832 a sub stantial settlement was made near Burlington, and Dubuque4 was founded in 1833. The popu lation grew so rapidly that in 1846 Iowa was admitted as the twenty-ninth state of the Union. Its asea Is 56,147 square miles and it has thirteen presidential electoral votes. Iowa is familarly called the Hawkeye State. (@ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Styles by Miss Manhattan of Newy ork in coats and suits are on dis lay at The Propsst Co.

The book of th iprophet Jeremiah tells how "Th king sat in the win ter house in ninth month, and there was a on the hearth burn nig before Here is a pleasant scene from the life 2,500 years ago, in dicating that from the earliest ages have f pleasure in looking at the glowng -upon the hearth. "While I musing, the fire burned," said psalmist. There is something those warm glow ing coals in open fire that tends toward plA reminiscence and the romantic frpme of mind. Sorrows soften as the eyeidwell on the cheerful embers and the flick ering flames. There is a sense of homeness in fire on the hearth that starts fri dly conversation. During the e nights of 'the fall the open fire s rts in nillions of dwellings and no occasion is pleas anter than when 'he family gathers about its traditional hearthstone. Some modern houas are built with out any open fireplace. How little sense such people " have of what makes a real home. NOTICE TO SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
