in other counties, many farm and meadow fires have occurred, recently. in lands far removed from railroad tracks. Hunters are thought, in many instances, to have been responsible for those fires. In several counties of the state farmers have banded together to “post” their grounds in order to avoid the cause of fires that might do great damage. Another cause of complaint against hunters is that in gunning for game they frequently injure cattle. horses, hogs or sheep, failing to

N its true sense, is not tight lacing. It is not squeezing the wai- ' or harnessing the abdomen with ungainly burdensome straps. The real art of figure-building, instead, is the easy, graceful, consistent molding of the form as Nature intended it to be molded. The Gossard Corset builds artistic figures

and comfortable.
No woman needs to he told oi the extra-comiort frr nt lacing means. No more stietcliing the neck and shouldeis tagging at back corset strings. No more pressure of steels or unpleasant slipping at the back. They are a priceless boon to the woman whose spine needs support, whose vital organs have oecome sadly misplaced because of wearing improper corsets. Immediately they relieve the wr jn^ pressure, steady the spine, give free play for the lungs and the other vital organs. You can wear a Gossard from rising to retiring in perfect comfort. The surest proof of what the Gossard will do for you in the way of figure-building is the fact that you can wear a size-smaller in the Gossard the second time you purchase one. This is Gossard Exploitation week at our store. It is an interesting time to find out about the Gossard—while Miss Yale, is here.

0ETEC1IVES ARE OH THE GROUND
The Brazil Times of Monday says: The chief of police of Greencastle was in the city today. He has been here a number of times lately, but is .tying very little about the object of his visit. However, it leaks out from a reliable source that he has never given up hope of capturing the scoundrel that murdered the interurban agent at Greencastle one night some time ago. He has followed up every clew, and believes he will sooner or later land his man. It is also said that the traction ■ompany has not been idle in the matter, and is just as determined as could be desired to run down the criminal, whose identity has never been mentioned. The authority mentioned above also states that there are two detectives in this city working on the case, and that there is a well founded belief that the murderer is in Brazil and has been working here since the time of committing the crime. Some interesting developments are expected in a few days.
CIRCUIT COURT NOTES
AVOID HUNTING TROUBLES
i'roteet Their Property as Well us Preserve the Game in This Portion Of Indiana.
LAWS PEHALilES ARE SEVER;
The hunting season is buddinc and its fruition is made manifest h.. a larger acreage of "posted" land lit Putnam County than ever before i" the start of the season. More farmer, will have put up notices forbiddin hunting on their land than In prev ions years. That, too. with quail more plentiful in the county, according to reports from practically evei neighborhood, than for many years. One reason for the increase in “posted" lands is found in the grov ing dissatisfaction with the condin t
of hunters. In the old days, there was plenty of game of kind tind game laws
thought of, a
killed what lie or his family neede 1 to eat. Now all that is of tlie pas . The hunter goes out to see hov many birds lie can kill In a day an 1 everyone in the county knows lio\ the wholesale slaughter lias “doir
for” the quail.
In recent years there has
the Hershey family at Logansport they decline to discuss the case beyond an admission that the suicide
occurred.
Hershey was one of the most prominent men in the junior class. He was a native of Logansport. from where he entered DePauw University. graduating with the degree of A. B. He was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. The body lias been shipped to the family home for
interment.
Medical Examiner McGrath, who was notified, gave as the official a use of tlie act, "Sinsignia.’’
A suit was today filed on appeal from Justice Ashton's court in which James M Wood and Elizabeth Wood seek to collect $4 4.33 alleged due them from Scott Browning as rent. The complaint alleges that they rented to Mr Browning a certain house in which he stored his tools, dynamite and other things while building a road in that vicinity. That he vacated the house and that rent to the sum total named above has not been paid. Therefore judgment in that amount is asked. The defendant through his attorneys files an answer to the complaint in which he first denies the allegations of the plaintiffs and second, alleges that the rent lias been paid. Aliee A- Hughes appear for the defense.

been ters, and that nothing can be
much complaint of hunters who have «ut for publication until the place
refused to recognize the rights of th« farmers on whose lands they hunted. Such action on the part of the men with the guns has been another important factor in the increase in “posted” lands. Farmers have, in recent years, learned they can protect the game on their lands by putting up the "hunting forbidden' notices. There are many farmers who object to hunting a& being thoroughly brutal and who jhave, for that reason, taken advantj age of the law to close their farms to
