' When the dust subsided an appal ling picture presented itself. Instead of the quiet little town with its whitewashed houses against (he hills —in reality extinct volcanos —all were in ruin. People gathered in open spaces fearing new shocks. The injured were taken to hospitals some in automobiles and some on the arms of relatives. One man had just left his home to go to jiis work at the custom house when the quake shdok the island. He ran back, to find his home demolished and his wife and child dead in the debris. Another man fled from his house only to he killed by a huge piece of stone which was dislodged from the building.* Had the shock come during the night tlie death toll would have been much greater. The authorities, aided by troops and firemen, at once took command of the situation, commantfeering automobiles to transport the injured and working all the day and into the night to restore order. ■ —„—o 1--Lake St. Marys Rapidly Becoming' Pleasure Resort St. Marys.

Reservoir, built entirely by hand, hundreds of men being employed for several years in cutting down the timber and in building banks, | It was originally constructed to feed the Miami and Erie Canal which connected Tole.do with Cincinnati and insured a constant source of water for the canal throughout the entire year.

Lincoln Fordson ' Fourteen Millions “Squashing Rumors’’ The manufacture of the 14 millionth Ford on July 21st., 192 G. passed almost unnoticed, because Ford records are made only to be broken and every six months sees another million Fords produced. This enormous Ford Production, steadily maintained year after year, is sometimes lost sight of in the riot of claims regarding percentage increases. People sometimes are misled into thinking that a percentage increase means a large increase in actual numbers produced. A factory which produces 100,000 cars one vear and 150.000 the next has a »0' < increase but their total production may still be a negligible factor in an industry w hich produces four million cars annually. So instead of dealing in percentages, we merely chronicle the fact that Ford Motor Co., has Produced four million cars in the last twenty-five months, a number which almost surpasses comprehension. 1,056,000 To July Ist These figures represent the number of new Fords produced and sold in the United States alone between January Ist and July 15th, 192 b They do not include export business or Fords produced in the world wide Ford plants, such as Ford of Canada. England. Irish Free State. France, Denmark, Italy, Germany, Japan, etc etc th«? combined total of which almost staggers the imagination. ’ HOW ABOUT INDIANA? A little percentage figuring of our own will be interesting. Indiana branch territory has always absorbed its proportion of the ‘ million every six months” production. This vear. forThe past 100 days there have been sold in Indiana 12.2' more new Fords thin in the same period last year, and an 18 s', increase since the recent price cut.
