 Wfnona LaKe is an intellectual. raii- gsous, or pastime retreat. It is any ono
 of these, or the three ia one. It is one of thc most pcturesquse lakes in the Central West. where the hand of Nature, has been helped in her pyeening by the | hand of man At winona Lake one mar
 work or play; may rest or seeaperate. IL Is a chafcce for conventions and club meetings. Here p.cnic parties find innaeasurabIc Ieiight for aay. q whole summer may be spent here witn-l out exhausting the wholesome sociar{
  home where the edge of freshment doas not fray; 1t Is safe retreat for the permanent resident, who would re- tire tc quiet and repose from city noise and commercial strife. 10 find peaces for himself; and t is a place to edu- out sectarianism--the gates are open to all creeds.
 It Is a place which, for all 1t has to offer. is within the reach of people of moderate means Social value is not measured by the dollar mark at winonA wealth or fashion.

Then, too. come thousands of earnest students, who are bent upon learning from teach CTS. lecturers and ministers. who gather here from over the United States, find ing intellectual 1lg5tt amid pleasant surroundings. The tjred sustness nan will find Wir1ona LaAe the very nlaco he Is seeking for a weels-snd rest. or for a longer period.
 The waters of the lake are clean and pure for bathing and swimming. HerA Is the home of the ya:ny bass, the blue gill, ring perch, and other fish. Wino- na Lake is paradise for the lover of Nature. with its wooded shores it's beautiful landscapes, it's flowing wells and bubbling fountains, its native birds. A tramp in the woods. over hill and, dale where the air prevails as Nature makes 1t. is in itself worth going to. Winona for. The student of Nature finds q ore-hotise at Winona Lake. whose riches can not be exhausted in s- sufnmer--not in a. dozen of thena
