SWORDS INTO PLOUGHSHARES
Forged from some of the swords
of the veterans of the North and
the South at the end of the North
American civil war, the Peace, Plough
of America is a practical example of
the fulfilment of the prophecies of
Isaiah and Micah that the nations
shall "beat their swords' into plough-
shares.” Since it fust left the anvil,
the Peace Plough„has been in many
countries, and now, after an absence
of 60 years, has returned to the Un-
ited States to be exhibited in the
League of Nations Pavilion at the
New York World's Pair. The Plough
was first shown in Europe in 1878
and eventually found a resting place
in the Alabama Hall in Geneva, nam-
ed /Or the hall in which the quarrel
between Great Britain and the Unit-
ed States over the Alabama affair
was settled. ,

LAKE AT GRAND BEND
A large run of smelt, said by ob-
servers to be the first in the history
of this Lance Huron summer resort,
looms as a threat to the fishing in-
dustry this year.

fish have been reported in the lake
waters near Grand Bend in the past
10 days. Schools of smelt have in-
vaded several streams and rivers
emptying into the lake in this dist-
rict.
Fishermen fear the usual migra-
tion of the smelt, which resembles
a fresh water herring, will have a
telling effect on commercial fishing
this year. The fish is said feed.
on the spawn of other fish.
The variety , of smelt seen range
frpm 6 to 10 inches. They possess
strong teeth and when running in
large schools have been lanown to
attack larger fish.
Five years age conservation inter-
ests in Michigan stocked Lake Huron
with several thousand smelt. Schools
