Eloquent testimony that the graded and high schools are deficient In teaching the fundamental rules in spelling is given in examples of incorrert spelling, which appear daily In themes handed to Prof. N.

Then a glance in the mirror will show you instantly how GOSSARD Corsets —mold the figure to lines of utmost gracefulness—long, slender, sinuous, sweeping lines that give the supremacy of artistic grace. —reduce and support the abdomen as no other corset possibly can do. - lengthen the waist, without markedly increasing the waist measure, as do practically all other corsets. give proper hip reduction without the unsightly cut at the botto.n usual with other corsets. — support the hack and fix it in the “beauty line” of “the new back”—something that no other corset can even attempt to do. The GOSSARD Corset alone gives “the new hack” which is essential to a truly fashionable appearance, because the back of the Gossard Corset is fixed and pennanent—it cannot get out of shape, as ibe backs of all back-laced corsets must do. You’ll find that GOSSARD Corsets may be worn with comfort from rising to retiring. Why not come in and learn how much Gossard Corsets will bring you in Style, Comfort, Health and Beauty

OHicial returns from the seven counties of the Fifth Congressional district give Ralph \V. Moss for Congress a plurality of 1,497. When one stops to think that Congressman Holliday carried this district by a plurality of over o.OOO four years ago you begin to realize what a splendid race Senator Moss made. But the vote four years ago was the Roosevelt high water mark and two years ago Mr. Holliday narrowly escaped defeat at the hands of Claude Bow-

era

Many Republicans expected that if Mr. Holliday made another race, lie would have been defeated, but they had no idea that Howard Maxwell would lie snowed under by a Democratic plurality equal to the normal Republican plurality in the district.

MAY CONTEST THE ELECTION

The result of the election in Indiana, for state officers, as shown on the face of the official returns, is finally made public and, to be frank and honest about the matter, the figures are disappointing and altogether un-

satisfactory to Democrats.

The Democratic State Central Committee and State Chairman Jackson express the opinion that illegal votes and other irregularities account for the defeat of the Democratic candidates who are shown defeated on the face of the returns, and that these facts will be established in the contests to be instituted.

INTEREST IN WHO GETS THERE

TRIAL IS POSTONED

The Hearing of the Murder Charge Against Emory Cassell, In the Owen County Circuit Court, Goes Over to a Date Vet Unnamed.

The trial of Emory Cassell, charg ed with the murder of Thomas Mills, was called in the Owen Circuit Court Thursday, but was postponed and may not come up for trial at this term. The case w’as pontponed because the Owen County Council has not yet made an appropriation of funds to pay the defendant’s counsel.

Sunday Evening Service.

Last evening the services at the Christian Church drew out a large attendance. The chorus rendered some excellent music. The sermons [which are being preached at these services are on the general theme, “What Shall I do to be Saved?” The aim is to make all the Sunday evening sermons evangelistic. The next sermon will be “Obedience as a Prin-

ciple of Human Progress.”

Governor-elect Thomas R. Marshall will soon be confronted with the problem of distributing the loaves and fishes. The first candidate for an appointment under the new governor made his appearance yesterday. Timothy Griffin wants to be custodian of the state house, and he has made known his wishes to the Democrats who congregate about Democratic headquarters. Mr. Griffin is a familiar character in political circles. He has had charge of the decorations for every state convention for a generation. He was for six years superintendent of the state capitol when it was under construction and after that for twelve years he was custodian of the building. He Is familiar to a gnat’s heel with all of the duties devolving upon the custodian. The salary of custodian is $2,000 a year. He has the appointment of an assistant custodian at $1,200 and about fifteen janitors at *00 a month. While Mr. Marshall was stumping the state in the race for governor he frequently referred 1 A in strong and denunciatory language to the large number of commissions that have been created and said that if the legislature keeps up the pace It has set It will only be a short time
