The Katy Reservoir Almost
COMPLETED.

s The big crew of workmen on the
skaty's big reservoirs out west OF
town is disbanding and the grading
has most all been loaded
for removal TO some Kansas point.
The work has been under way since
early spring and in. the meantime
there has been a great change made
in the geographical outlook over that
particular part OF Hudson township
which is now pretty we'll known to
the public. If figures were available
we would be pleased to give our
readers SOME idea of the hnmensity
Of the big undertaking OF. making Il
big dam across what has been looked
upon for years as quiet LITTLE
stream except at flood timesJ The
reservoir tract comprises seventy
acres, something like fifty OF which
are to- be covered with water when
the big pond is filled to capacity.
We hope to make visit to the res
ervoir site at an early date and gath

This is by fur the largest sale 81
|itE kind that has ever been held in
this part Of the state aud no doubt
will attract q large number of outside
especially from Iowa and
NEBRASKA, as the farmers from there
appreciate the value OF our land even
more than we who live here an,l
prices that might sound high to us
would seem dirt cheap to them.
NJ Mr. E. 4. O'Toole, representing
the Carolina Land and Development
Co, who IS in Adrian at present
making the preliminary arrangements
for the sale, says it will be an abso-
lutte cut loose proposition, with no
|by-bidding and no provisions made
but. each tract will be sold to the
highest bidder regardless of whether
the owners make or lose.
The cutting up Of this ranch will he
u great benefit to the community, as
Fit will not only mean an additional
growth but it means that each of
these small farms will be farmed
more scientifically, larger and better
Icrops per acre will be produced, all
'of which will increase the value OF
land in the vicinity.
n Here's hoping that more of the
large ranches in our county will be
tcuf I'm in fhe same manner.

SHOW U.S.. VESSELS
CARRIED YANKS OVER

PARIS, Jan. Unofficial figures now
are available for the first time show
ing the fun extent to which American
ships transported the American army
of approximately 2,O79, 600 men to Flu
rope and also showing the very, high
percentage of vessels escorted by
American warships, irrespective of what
vessels we're carrying he troops,
These statistics vary from the pre-
viousiv announced figures which repre-
scented a larger proportion carried in
British ships and escorted by the
British ships and ecorted by the British
navy.
The official figures show that 1926
per cent of all the American troops
were transported exclusively in Ameri-
can ships. The figures show that the
percentage actually carried In British
ships was 1925 per cent, as against the
much higher figures recently made pub
lie Additional 3 per cent was carried
in Italian ships leased to the British and
another ESQ per cent was carried In
ships Of other nations.
The American navy, however, es-
corted and guarded the transport of
1913 per cent of all the troops, repre-
s~enting 1,72O, $50 men. The British es-
corted 14.12 per cent, representing
297, 1903 NEE. The French escorted 3.l3
per cent, representing 6l,6l7 men.
