LAKE SHAFERIS
CINE OF BEAUTY
Crystal Clear Water Formed
by Tippecanoe Dam,

John Shafer. civil engineer. a
graduate of Indiana University
dreamed big dream. Years ago he
saw the TippecanOe River damned
at Monticello with huge power
hydro electric dam, at that point,
spreading the crystal pure waters
Of the Tippecanoe for miles up and
down that beautiful, picturesque,
fish filled stream.
Patience, perseverance on his
part secured the necessary capital
s1.25O,0C built a dam 1900 feet
long. about thirty-five feet high,
With capacity of 3O,Oo0,oo killowat
hours per annum.
This immense dam now stands out
like a monument on the Tippecanoe
at Monticello. White County, In
diana. It checked the rushing
waters Of the best fishing stream in
the State. and created in the sand
sell of that region the largest lake
in the State of Indiana, eleven miles
long, and a mile in width.
The waters of Tippecanoe are like
the trout streams of Wisconsin, as
clear as crystal, filled with bass,
goggle-eye, perch, sun fish, blue giils
and channel cat. Tippecanoe as a
fishing river has a reputation
throughout the central States, ex-
ceeded by none.
Lake Shafer Beautiful
Upon this river by the hand of
science and perseverance there now
stands. and will for all time to come.
Lake Shafer, named after its pioneer.
with it's forty miles of picturesque
shore land, following the meander-
ings Of the river, restful to the
senses, beautiful to the eye and a
lure to all who live the great out
doors.
Heretofore central southern Indi-
ana had to travel to the lakes of
Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
northern Indiana for any kind of ac-
comnodations and any kind of fish
inc. Now a lake is at your doors
within a short automobile ride,
within two hours ride by steam,
within two and one-half miles Of q
county seat, with a country club and
golf course at your doors.
The Indiana State board of health
made a scientific and careful ex-
animation Of the waters Of our
streams and rivers, and the Tppe-
canoe stood at the top Of them IN
this State, for the clarity of its
water, its sanitary condition and its
desirabiIity for bathing purposes.
Follows River Meanderings
Unlike other lakes in the coun-
try. this is not a fat sheet Of water,
whose shore line can be seen in its
entirety with one view, but it fol-
lows the meanderings of this beau
tiful river, spreading out and I'M
folding to the view as the motor
launch follows the sharp turns of
the river. A visit TO this great hydro
electric dam that supplies the cleo
trio current for manufacturers and
public utilities in the northern part
Of the State in itself is worth a visit
to this wonderful lake. The crea-
ton of this lake means much to cen
trail Indiana. 1t means much Tor
its manufacturing and industrial de-
velopment 1t adds beautiful set
ting to the picturesque scenery OF
this region and will aid in the de-
velopment of the entire State.
Here you can cast for the bass,
YOU can battle, you can motor, have
all the quiet of a country home, and
vet be within ten minutes drive OF
a modern city with all it's conven-
fences.

MOTHER
tBy Charles l. H. wagner)

(By Charles l. H. Wagner)
The years are silvering her hair,
But not her soul;
Her eyes reveal the youth still there
And In control
The years make falterinG her feet,
But not her mind.
For VISIONS words she voices sweet
With love inclined.
The years have robbed her cheeks Of
bloom.
But her bright smile
Still drives away the clouds OF gloom
That age dehle.
The years have stolen lips OF red.
But oh. her voice!
Yet colorful brings joy instead
By far my choice
The tyrant years have failed indeed
To steal her charm
Tn still child and years recede
When in her arms.
Mrs. Harvey Harrell returned Sat
urday night TO her home in Salida,
after n few days visit with relatives
in Gunnison.

Or q picnic or party, know down in
my heart,
She was glad we were invited, and she
liked to see US 90,
And the compliments they gave us
somehow set her eyes aglow.
But the queerest thing about it was
she would always avow
At home again, "Oh my, but amt /
glad that's over now!"
She worked with so much patience to
make US each look right,
And trained us for our duty, which
she wouldn't let US slight.
But twas just the same at Christmas
when we thrilled with keen delight
Or on the Fourth or Thanksgiving and
with pride her face would light.
For she liked to zee Us merry, every
little lass and lad;
But ct night she'd Sigh and whisper,
"Well, It's over, amt / glad"
And l think perhaps in Heaven. when
we're gathered after while
From tha g3ories and the failures. We

FoUR-lN-oNE COOKIES

II you like cookies or il there are
children in the family, when making
cookies on baking day, you can have
try the following method. Make a
generous amount of dough and when
stiR enough, divide into four portions.
Treat each portion differently. For
instance, roll out one portion and then
sprinkle with sugar and place a raisin
or half pitted date in the center Of
each cookie. The second portion may
be covered with grated cocoanut, pea
nuts. or cinnamon and sugar mixed.
The third batch Of cookies can be
covered with thin coating Of choco-
late icing after they are baked. Or
have ready a paste made of mashed
dates and choDped raisins mixed with
a little. water so that they won't be
too stiff. Roll out the cookies very
thin. almost wafer-like and cut: in the
middle Of each cookie place little OF
the paste, enough to spread nicely,
and on top place another thin cookie.
press firmly together and bake. ANY
good method NAV be used in making
q variety at the same time. Another
way is to take out portion of the
cookie batter before 1t is too stiff:
into this stir a little cinnamon, few
caraway seeds and dried currants.
the amount of each depending on the
amount Of dough on hand. Roll out,
cut and bake.
Keep each batch in seDarate con-
tanners with waxed paper over them
and you will have different cookie
every day without the bother of bak-
ing every little while.

NEW BOUNDARY ISSUE
British Quota to [. $. From Ireland Cannot Be set Until Frontier is Definitely Established.

Dublin, March ti.--The American immigration law is indirectly involved in the question of the Ulster boundary at issue between Northern Ireland and the Free State government.
 All Ireland now Is included in tho British quota. but sooner or later tho Free State is expected 10 claim the same separate position as any of the British dominions, and if this is con- coded it will obviously be impossible to fix a Free State quota until it is known exactly how large the state is to be.
 The quota question is at present un- der the consideration of the Free State ministry for external affairs and there is no disposition to hurry it. Apart from all tho difficulties Of de- tall that it Involves is the settled pol icy against emigration from Ireland. During the struggle against England it was considered an oftense 10 emi- grate and prior to tho signing Of tho Anglo-1rish treaty there were some instances Of intending emigrants be- ing foreibly restrained from leaving.
