Northern Indiana's big season is at hand. Hundreds of residents from all parts of the state are packing their belongings for the annual trip to the lakes, to remain there as long as the weather permits. All «f Indiana's lakes are located in the northern portion of the state. The total area of all inland lakes of Indiana is 46,167.75 * acres. M< st of the state's lakes; - there are approximately 163 of them are located in thirteen counties. The watering places hinge in size from 27 to 3,826 acres. It has been estimated | tnat there are more than forty , lakes in Indiana which bear no I name. While Steuben county has the; most lakes -eighty-four bearing names and many others not so I dignified Kosciusko county has! tae largest total lake area. The | area is given as 9,900.84 acres. Wawasee. the largest body of water in the state, covers 3,826.21 acres and is situated in Kosciusko county. The lake counties are Steuben, Kosciusko. Noble, Laporte, Lagrange. Marshall, Lake, Starke, Fulton. Whitley, St. Joseph. Elkhart and Porter. Steuben and Kosciusko counties have approximately two-fifths of the total lake area of the state.

Indiana's four largest lakes and most popular are Wawasee, Maxinkuckee, James and Bass. Wawasee. located in the northeast corner of Kosciusko county, was named after Chief Wau-wa-aus-see of the Pottowattomie Indians. Government surveyors later called it “Turkey Lake," but as other lakes also were given that name, settlers began calling it "Nine Mile Lake.*' More than twenty years ago Colonel Eli Lilly of Indianapolis.

and otty£rb determined the lake should have a fitting name and Wawasee was chosen. Maxinkuckee was the camping' site of many Indians and is replete with natural beauties. It is located in the southwest pari of Marshall county and has 1,957 acres. It has been a favorite camping place of settlers in the state for more than ninety years. Culver Military Academy is located at the water edge. The lake is famous for its sporty fishing. Lake James, a body of watei of 1.646 acres, winds through the hills of the north central portion of Steuben county. The bas> fishing is splendid.. Two hills ir the distance mark the highest point of the divide between the Ohio and the St. Lawrence rivei valleys. Bass Lake, located in Starke county, has 1,604 acres. It is i boot-shaped body of water and has a maximum depth of thirtyeight feet. It was known at one time as Cedar Lake, but the name was changed years ago be cause of the fact that several other waterways in the state als< bore that name. Many years age the lake edge was fringed by cedar trees. It got its new name because of its unusual number ol black bass in later years. Settlers came to the lake about 1855. The place first was used as a summer resort in 1891. The water is placid and id ideal for boating.

Dare, in the St. Joseph superior court this afternoon, sustained the demurrer of State Attorney General U. S. Lesh in the matter of an injunction asked by J. Bruce Gafill of this city to restrain the state auditor and treasurer from carrying out the provisions of the gasoline tax law passed by the last legislature and in force since June 1. The substance of Judge Oare’s opinion is that the law is constitutional and valid. The case will probably be appealed to the supreme court. 1 ■ !■'"' 11 "«*"■- u - ; - ’ Very few people realize that the great majority of the inmates of prisons in the United States are men under 25 years of age. It is costing the people of our country about $200,000,000 a year to maintain the prisons of the United States.

MORE DEMAND FOR FORDS Detroit, Mich., June 25.—June finds the Ford Motor Company undertaking the greatest task of its career, that of attempting to fill an order list for cars and trucks which totals 311,000 for rhe month. Popularity of the Ford never has been so strikingly illustrated is this year, for every month has brought increasing orders with June topping them all. And the demand for the Ford extends into every section of the country, for dealers from the smallest town to the largest city have all asked for increased allotments of Ford cars and trucks For delivery to their customers. Production has been steadily moved upward right along and •he enormous manufacturing facilities of the company are daily being taxed to the utmost in an endeavor to meet the demand, md to assist in delivering cars with as little delay as possible. During the present month production is on a schedule which calls for approximately 6,700 cars md trucks a day, another increase in the record-breaking output which sales demands make necessary. o TRAIN LOAD OF CARS A solid trainload of Studebaker cars, of 120 LightSixes, has just been shipped from the big Studebaker factories at South Bend, Indiana to the Studebaker Sales Company of Newark. N. J. This shipment is unusual in two respects. First, the entire 120 cars have been sold at retail and will be delivered to waiting buyers just as soon as unloaded. And second, it is believed it represents the largest shipment to one dealer of a singe model of car in the SI,OOO class ever made by the manufacturer. “It is not surprising that these experienced metropolitan motor car buyers should create a tremendous demand for the Stude-1 baker Light-Six." according to Floyd Hedges, local Studebaker dealer. — o THE SUGGESTION IS GOOD To the Editor: In regard to reunions I will say it is suggested that people holding reunions should announce it the week before, as there are often parties who would like to go but do not know’ of it. By a Citizen. —o RAND CONCERTS On account Fourth of July falling on Wednesday, there will be no band concert that evening, but same will be given the following Saturday evening. After that there will be band concert every Wednesday evening. > o —- One may dress as if he were younger, perhaps, but better make the limit ten years.
