FIGHT TO RETAIN
WATERWAY IS ON
State Conservation Depart.
ment Backs Grant Co. Body.

Department of Conservation officials
learned today of an organization formed
at Marion to oppose the dredging and
Strengthening of the Tippecanoe river in
Marshall and Kosciusko Counties. Some
of the most influential cities Of Grant
County are in the new organization. il
is said, and are determined to resist all
efforts to destroy the natural beauty Of
this HOosier water course which ia
threatened by the proposed drainage
project known as the "Matchett and
Kring Ditch" 1t is inferred by CORE
sDOndence to Richard Lieber, director Of
conservation in Indiana, that the organi-
cation begun at Marion will become
Statewide in scope and will be recog-
nized by the department.
Several months ago a petition was
filed by several citizens in Kosciusko
and Marshall Counties TO dredge the
Tippecanoe river for twenty-five miles to
shorten and change the channel that
several thousand acres of Iowland
might be reclaimed for farming. Inves#
legations By engineers, according to de-
partment officials, have revealed that the
cost of the proposed project would be
far greater than the benefits to be de-
rived that only a few could benefit
while many would be damaged and
forced to help ray the cost of an i'm.
provement injurious to their better in
terests. Engineers further assert that
the water level would be lowered ten feet
at the county line and that much Of the
scenic beauty of the picturesque water
course would be lost. It is Gained also
that water levels Of thirty nine lakes
In northern Indiana will be affected.
The new organization IS known as the
| TippecanOe River Conservation Society
and its leaders propose to preserve and
protect the Tippecanoe river from any
attempt to make any change which,
would in the least detract from. It's nat
ural beauty and scenic attraction to
people living along the stream and to
thousands of citizens from every part OF
Indiana who in season enjoy 1t. The
association will resist any effort TO
lredge the stream, but. according to
word reaching department officials, is
not opposed TO the construction of dams
along the river for water storage for
1ydro-elec power.
Fishermen, farmers, business men and
all classes of citizens are interested in
this effort TO bring about legislation to
protect this river, 1t is said.
Only recently it was announced Aat
Indiana, eastern and Chicago capitalists
proposed TO harness the Tiprecanoe for
hydro electric project that would rep
resent an expenditure of S3000,000 and
mean an annual savings of more than
half a million tons of coal now used In
Indiana for heat and power.

lNsIDIoUs PROPAGANDA OF
REPUBLICAN PARTY

The newspapers representing the
interests of the Republican party are
endeavoring to ''blow up" the plans Of
the Democratic organization TO bring
together all the legitimate Democratic
elements in the State. The follow
ing "out the whole CLOTH" appeared
IN the LoheT1e Herald, Sunday,
February sth:
glove Feast" Of Democrats revives
Feud. "Beckham- Stanley Factions
clash when it comes to selection of
advisory committee; sold crowd" in
organization raped
As a matter of fact the only ground
for this statement is the hope in the
hearts of the Republican leaders that
something like this would occur TO
dampen the energies and defeat the
plans Of the Democrats. The Repub-
liean leaders cannot conceal from
themselves, though they may hide
from others, that their victory last
November was due, not to party is
sues so much as TO party organiza-
ton, and they are ready TO move
heaven and earth, by fair means, or
otherwise, as this utterly false ac-
count in the Herald shows, in order
to prevent the Democrats from build
ing up their full legitimate party
strength.
1t may seem at first rather strange
that a party only three months ago
won a State election by forty odd
thousand should already begin TO fear
for IFS place; but when it is recalled
that over 269 thousand voters regis
tered on the Democratic side in 1916,
and only 215 thousand voted as Dem
ocrats last year, it is plain that Mr..
Morrow's plurality of forty thou
sand was not due TO Democrats vot-
ing for him, but to their not voting at
all, while every single solitary Re-
publican black and white, who could
walk, crawl or he carried to the polls,
was there on the job.
In the successful coordination of
the legitimate Democratic elements.

BLIND CAN READ BY SOUND
Remarkable Electrical. Invention 10
Hailed as an Inestimable Boon
to the sightless.

A remarkable electrical invention
has recently been made by means of
which the blind are enabled to read
by sound. The invention is an ap-
plication of the well-known prin-
ciple whereby the resistance Of a
selenium electric cell can be varied
by alterations in the intensity of the
light impinging upon the plates.
In this particular application
variations in the light are produced
by reflection from the printed pages
of a book over which the apparatus
is passed. Every different printed
letter will cause a slight alteration
in the reflected light, and these vari-
ations in the light will, by varying
the resistance Of the selenium cell,
induce corresponding fluctuations in
the current Of electricity generated
by the cell.
By connecting the cell to what is
in effect a telephone receiver, the
blind man is enabled to recognize
each individual letter by the sound
produced as the instrument passes
over the successive lines of print.

Dwarfs In History.

Dwarfs. until very recent days. have
been highly regarded and much sought
after. In far-away days kings have
fought over dwarfs. and a court that
possessed one was considered very for
tunate and altogether stylish. Wealthy
folk, even, competed with monarchs In
the purchase of dwarfs as a sort of
hallmark of aristocracy. A race OF
tiny people in Equatorial Africa, the
Akkas. were much priced by the early
Pharaohs. The Romans tried to sup
ply the demand by artificial dwarhng.
and had separate words to distinguish
the natural from the unnatural dwarf.
