Sentiment Favors Plan To Convert “Lob” Into Lake Interest In the proposition of formIm a lake In the northwest part, of I cy county, In the district known as lite "Lob,” it reported to be Incregß lit": No concerted action has been taken in lite mutter so far, but further action Is expected soon. It* telling about the proposition, the f'ccrilend Sim says: "The sentiment in Jackson and Bearcreek townships Is said to be drongly In favor of the project. A tirvey of the situation In the Lob district shows that while there Is some opposition, the majority of the fanners are favorable, many of them ttying that for years past and likely in the future, farming in this locality has not paid. The wonder is that, the idea of a lake did not occur to the minds of the residents years ago. However, until a short . ime ago there was no provision whereby government and state aid oubl bo secured. With conservaion measures carried on by both ■he national and state governments, tid is now possible. “The 'lxrb' region is a peculiar formation of nature. In many plan's there is apparently no bottom to he’ muck, mid in other places there ire sand bars and clay banks. Gec'ogy teaches that many years ago here was a mighty river flowing hicitigli this region. Very likely it was at the bortom of a canyon 200 to 300 feet deep. This canyon started somewhere in the neighbormod of what is now Bryan, Ohio, cud ended somewhere in Illinois. “This was in prehistoric times. No doubt this canyon rivalled the irand Canyon of Colorado, and preistoric man. clothed in the skins of he wild beasts that then inhabited his region, stood upon the rim of his mighty canyon and marveled it the- mysteries of Nature—provid'd this ancient had any further ■ bought than the supplying of his ippetite.

“At one time the Great Lakes iiained through a stream that ran lii'oiigh this region. At a still later period, what we now know as the Wabash river ran through the Lob lisiriit .and on beyond Pennville ind Montpelier. Through some connlsion of Nature the course of the Wabash was later changed and it broke through the stone formation it Linn Grove and lias since flowed n a channel somewhere near where t now flows. “There is evldeice ojg a once Treat river in l th?~l.oh dlstrlet, the ild sand liars and shore marks ndicating. The great canyon may have been filled with debris during I lie glacial period, when great icebergs slid down from the north and •overed til is entire territory. “Whatever the cause, the Lob disri< t. is an ideal place for a lake, because it never can bo successfully Irained, nor will it ever pay for farming land. Witli state and government. aided by private subscripions, which would lie generous and ‘asy to get. a lake could be made that would he far more valuable than the land is at the present—or perhaps ever would be, it is claimed by those in a position to know.” o Earth Tremors Recorded In South Pacific Sunday Now York. May s—(United Press) —The Fordham university seismograph recorded an earthquake of unusual severity about 7.700 miles from here Sunday afternoon. The record indicated it was in the south Pacific. — Ottawa, Ont., May 5 — (United Press)—Two earthquake shocks, so strong that they threw the recording needle off I lie seismograph, were recorded here Sunday at the government. observatory. The record was such that the distance and direction could not be determined. Professor Raefelle Bendandi of Faenza, Italy, last week, in an ex elusive message to the United Press, predicted a series of earthquakes to start about. May 4—the heaviest shocks to be in the south Pacific region. Other shocks were predicted for .May 9. o , — Meets Man Who Helped Recover Collins’ Body Tine Fristoe, Decatur young man who is touring the country with the Billy Main musical show, writes to bis parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Ffistoe, about meeting the foreman of miners who recovered the body of Floyd Cdlllns, the cave explorer who lost his life when he was trapped in San cave, Kentucky.

Mr. Fristoe is his letter which was written Tuesday, is as fqllows: “I met the man yesterday that wait foreman of the' gang of men that final y got Collins out. There was some

talk around here about It all being a fake, but he says that any one who says that, is off their head. When they brought Collins to the surface there were al least 200 people there who could recognize something about him to prove that It was really him. This follow was the one that wits trapped for an hour in the shaft last week and lyi.'tg right besld< Collins He is it mlm r from Central city Ky., ami said that he is positive that if he had been flo re at first he could have gotten Collins out ullve, Th<‘ home folks had everything in charge tilid of course did riot want any out Hldern butting in.

Debs Addresses Mass Meeting In New York New York. May 5. — Urging the workers of the United States “to have enough patriotism not to fight in any war," Eugene V. Debs, former socialist candidate for president, addressing a mass meeting here Sunday. said the international labor movement was “the Only movement that will put an etnl to war." Special police and firemen were called out to handle a crowd of more than 25.000 persons who tried to "listen in" on Debs' speech vat Madison Square Garden. Then thousand were turned away. Singing of the “Star Spanklcd Banner" was preceded by the rendition of the “Internationale." while 300 school children in white, caring brillient red sashes, marched in parade formation. Asserting he spoke “for all class war prisoners, whether socialists or communists,” Debs called on the working people everywhere to agitate for the release of Sacco and Vanzetti, held in Massachusetts, and of Thomas Mooney and Warren Billings in California. He said he looked toward Europe and saw “the rise of the working class." O 1 11" 11 1,1 " ""— Decatur Girl Pledged To Western Honor Society

Ont., May 5. — (United p rfias )_Vp here across the border, where 4.4 per cent beer becomes a legal beverage in another fortnight, (hey are oiling up the cash registers and polishing up the bars in anticipation of sufficient influx of visitors from the dry United States this summer to pay off the Canadian war debt. From coast to coast —Halifax to Vancouver — elaborate preparations have been made to cater to the American thirst. Canada expects every pint to do its duty and Provincial Treasurer Price estimates that the 4.4 beer which

There will be hundreds of new saloons In Ontario, as 600 applications for permits already have been filed with the authorities in antkiph Hon of the now law becoming effee five. The province of Manltolia bus oflll iully announced it cleared SOBO,OOO from selling ail varieties of liquor during (he eight months ending yes terday. Government profits In Quebec will net ten times that ..mount, according tn conservative estimates. Other province ' expect returns accordingly. As Ontario is the most accessible to the United States, plans havei been made for a dozen saloons In! Bridgeburg—just, a few minutes* ride from Buffalo —and Niagara Falls, it > is predicted, will be more popular, with tourists than ever. Enormous quantities of beer have ( been stored up by the O’Keefe and| Cosgrave breweries here. They havp| been "ageing" it for three months, since the bill passed. But the activity is not confined to Ontario. Out at Benff in Alberta, the golf course has been Increased from nine to eighteen holes and the nineteenth hole has been enlarged in anticipation of summer boarders from the states. At Saskatoon. Sask., the 12 loading hotel owners have rebelled against liquor restrictions and announce they will close unless granted the right to sell beer by the glass or bottle as they please. At the present time, they say, Americans "smash furniture and generally raise cain and all they huy from the hotel is lemons." In Montreal the commission store opposite the Mount Royal hotel has ordered an extra stock to prepare for the American conventions which will flock there this summer. •o — — Court Os Appeals Upholds Conviction of Gaston Means (United Press Service) New York, May 5. — (Special to Daily Democrat) —The federal circuit court of appeals today upheld the conviction of Gaston B.
