The stoky '
of New J
York should J
rightly begin *
w i t h 1 5 2 4, J
eighty - five *
years before \
Henry LI ud- *
son's voyage In his little bout;, ,
the Half Moon, up the rlw.r J
which now bears his name. For t
at that early date an Italian J
navigator, Verrazano, exploring t
for France, sailed into N  w J
York bay. This first visit to t
New York made little stir and J
was soon forgotten, and it was J
Hudson's rediscovery wliieh *
tempted the Dutch to send over J
colonists and obtain for the #
Dutch West India company a J
monopoly of the Dutch fur trade p
in America. The new colony J
which was started in 1023 called '
its territory New Netherlands, J
after its mother country, and '
their principal city New Amster- *
dam. It is interesting to reflect J
that Manhattan island, which is ;
now New York city, was pur- *
chased from the Indians for $24 4
worth of beads and ribbons. J
Even in its earliest days the set- *
tlement on Manhattan Island J
was cosmopolitan. In 1043 it is t
reported that eighteen different J
languages were spoken there t
in 1004 the English captured \
New Netherlands, and King '
Charles II presented the < >l« iy ,
to his brother, the duke of York, J
who was later King James II, ,
and its name was then changed j
to New York. 1
New York played a leading j
part in the formation . of the 1
United States. It was Alexan- ]
der Hamilton who was New <
York's representative in framing ,
the Constitution and it was New 1
York city which was select- ! :■ s !
the first capital of tlie v w
Union, where Washington v.as
inaugurated the first president.
Ever since the Empire stale, as
New York is sometimes exiled,
has held the deciding voice in
presidential elections. Though
its size is only JD.'JOJ square
miles, not quite half way i• the
list of states according to area,
its great population gives New
York forty-five presidential elec-
tors, the largest number of any
« r the states.

"CHOW-CHOW" IS COMING
Children who come to see "Chow- *
Chow" Monday should brush their!
teeth before coining. We have heard
that "Chow Chow" Is scared to death
of dirty teeth. Maybe he thinks!
toothache is catching like measles.;
If any child forgets to do the brush- i
ins they must sit in the hack rov. I
and keep their mouth shut tight when!
they Laugh so "Cho'.v-Chow" won't
see their dirty teeth.

for Indians.
I\actically all of the original In-
dian inhabitants of Costa Kica were
exterminated when the country wu«>
taken by the Spanish and the popula-
tion has, for that reason, remained
predominantly European. This is in
striking contrast to most I .a t ill-Am -
erican countries where (lie blood of
Spaniard and Indian has mixed.
More than 10,000,000 hunches of ba-
nanas are exported yearly from th*-
country, mostly to the United States,
and this together with coffee cultiva-
