PLAN TO CONSERVE
LAKES is OBJECT
Warsaw Rotary Club Sets
Meeting for Dec. IL.

Because 1t is the desire Of the citizens
of Warsaw and Kosciusko County to con-
serve their beautiful lakes. the Rotary
Club of Warsaw has completed plans for
a big conservation meeting. to be held Ia
that city on the evening Of Dec. IL.
Richard Lieber, director OF the State
Conservation Department, will be the
principal speaker at the evening pro-
gram, to be followed by a banquet. TO
which more than 800 guests from over
the State are invited.
Mr.. Lieber will discuss such practical
problems as drainage and its influence
on lake and stream levels. a subject OF
particular interest to KosciuskO County
citizens. He will touch also on the sub
jeet Of State parks as a means Of pre-
serving Indianas primitive spots and at
fording Fairgrounds for the public.
Discussing the subject Of drainage
Mr.. Lieber will cite the Noble and La
Grange counties project as an illustration
of where proposed drainage would have
inflicted a severe loss on many while
only few could have benefited. This
drainage project was defeated. Il pro-
posed to reclaim approximately 1000
acres Of lowlands valued at Sl2 an acre
aI0 convert them INTO aEI0GullNAeI
lands, which the petitioners claimed
would be worth 500 an acre. Estimates
of the cost OF the drainage system
showed the lands would only reach a
value OF SEQ an acre after reclamation
and that hundreds Of acres now produc-
tive would have been seriously damaged
by the project. In addition water levels
would be lowered with subsequent loss
Of water for power. In fact, where the
drainage was supposed to augment agri-
cultural interests 1t would have retarded
them.
The speaker will touch also on the
drainage project known as the "Natchett
Ditch" in Marshall County, now in liti-
cation, which proposes the dredging OF
the Tippecanoe River and the assess
ment OF many acres of KosciuskO COun-
IL land. This project would dredge the
river for twenty-five miles and, inyesti-
CATION shows, will effect she levels OF
approximately thirty-nine lakes. The
proposed ditch, it is claimed by engi-
neers, would lower the water ten feet
at the county line, and a great portion
of the land assessed for the improve
ment would not be benefited in the least
It is further claimed that much Of the
land to be reclaimed could be tiled in
dividually and drained without lowering
the lake and stream levels.
Mr.. Ldeber will point out that lakes in
Indiana are the Hoosier summer play
ground and attract many people from
without the State. They bring to the
counties wherein they are located many
thousands OF dollars Of liquid capital.
They are an economic factor whose value
is Just being realized. They are a mer-
ehandisable article the people are be-
ginning to learn Of In its efforts to
protect water levels it is the duty Of the
conservation department to see that pro-
posed drainage projects work for the
future good Of the State as a whole.

Of divorce are being demonstrated in tho

also OF the child Of her daughter and n

these children--half OF aristocratic and

observers believe that they
can trace the existence of a
peculiar mental condition-a
complex. or perhaps a ps!y-
chosis--in the French family
that leads TO the divorce
court. This observation en-.
tirely accords with recent dis.
