A tale is told of Kansas minis
ter, a great precis1onist in the use
of words, whose exactness some
times destroyed the force of what he
was saying. On one occasion, in
the course of an eloquent prayer, he
pleaded:
20 Lord! waken Thy cause in
the hearts of this congregation and
give them new eyes to see and new
impulse to do. Send down Thy
lever or lee-ver, according to Web

A BIZ; LAKE is LAKE LOWELL
Largest Artificial Body of Water in
the WOrld-TwO and One Half
# by Eight Miles.


I Lake Lowell, the Deer Flat reser-
voir will be one of the largest, ifnot
the largest, artificial lake in the
world. The reservoir will cover
o,Ioo acres of land, according to
the completed survey. 1t will be
eight miles long and the greatest
width will be two and one half
miles. A line running around the
edge of the reservoir would be 26H
miles long. The area covered
would be several hundred acres lar
ger, were it not for the fact that a
dixie will be constructed to shut the
water from a larger arm, thus max
ing the water so shallow that it
would not be practical to utilize
that portion of the site. Now that
the question of the site has been
adjusted, actual work should be
commenced in the immediate future.
Surveyors are still at work in
that section.
