CLOTHCRAFT PRICE

It’s the afterward satisfaction in clothes that pays.

Good clothes and poor — wool Jothes and shoddy have a way of looking good in the store. But the Fall or Winter suit or overcoat which wears, stays fresh looking, holds its color and its shape —that will give you the actual worth of your money— must be genuine wool. No shoddy cotton takes wool’s <1. F. Camion kV Company

place—that’s flat —don’t get fooled. If you do, then you are just as liable to he fooled on linings, or rightdesign or workmanship. CLOTHCRAFT clothes are perfection—wool and otherwise. Then besides clothes designed right, cut right and made right, you want clothes of right material—of wool.

CLOTHCRAFT suits and overcoats are the only ones in the United

States selling for £io to ^25 and guaranteed all wool. Then they are right in every other way—in style, cut, finish and fit. You can be sure that the CLOTHCRAFT suit or overcoat which seems right when you buy it will prove right in the wear—in your wear.

All wool quality and low price. This is the winning combination you’ll f i n d in CLOTHCRAFT.

JUDGE HAS BEEN OVER GROUND

It is probable that Hie attorn, ys in the case of E. H. Lynch against the City of Oreeni-astle will not argue the law of the ease before Judge Hawley. It will be remembered that on Monday the court tiled a special finding of fact. and that upon this finding of fact the attorneys were to base a discussion of the law as it affected the situation It is nmv practically agreed by both sides that no such discussion will be made. All feel that Judge Raw ley has been over the ground in the work which led to the finding of facts already filed. The law is very complex, and various decisions scent so in conflict that at best little eau be said in advance of what was said at the trial of the case. City Attorney Peck stated this in ruing Hint he was firmly convinced dial the eity was not liable for dama e - lie believes that the city, 1 diown by the special finding, did mil aullnui/.c the placing of Hie sewers which cause the foul odors. These are in Hie nature of a public nuisance. He holds that uMr. Lynch lias the right to invoke the aid of the slate (o abate sneli a nuisance, and Hull the cily, not being responsible by overt a, 1 is not liable foi damages. I H. James, attorney for Mr. I yneh till contend that the city is liable. Eai Ii :.iUe is practically williti to ubmit the question without turthei argument, however, and mile j something unfhrseen should oc- ■ tu thi will probably tie done.

LARGE GAME PRESERVE

UNIERS WILL BE PROSECUTED

The farmers south and east of the city have formed a game preserve under flic authority of the Gainc and Fish Commissioner, which comprises nearly all (he land east of the Monon Railroad, and south of Hie city, extending south to the National Road and bounded on the east by the road ruuning south from the court house. alixj comprises most of the laud iiiiHi oi the ludiuiiupoli road and east of Hie cit). This preserve lias been stocked with game birds by the commissioner, and lie proposes to place more birds on the preserve, if they are properly protected. This is being done at great expense, and there is an organization of farmers in this territory Hiat have determined that hunting shall stop where these birds have been liberated. They propose to prosecute to full extent of the law all persons, no matter whom, who are found hunting in this reserve. The Game Warden has been appealed to and he will have a detective here, who will ferret out violators. There lias been hunting already in these limits, and the ones who have trespassed will be looked after and prosecuted. A license will not protect anyone. There have been liberated on tills territory game birds that have cost the Fish Commissioner $5.00 a pair, and it is, as made by law, a two hundred dollar flue to kill pursue witli intent to kill, one of these birds. The farmers have determined to protect these birds and have appealed to the game commissioner, and there will be prosecutions of persons who have already defied the commissioner by hunting on this preserve.

E. B. Taylor, of the A. ft C. Stone and Lime Coni pans lias just returned from Chicago where lie lias been in consultation with one of the large steel plants. Mr. Taylor has placed some of the home product with tills firm for trial in the smelting of steel. Pile limestone is crushed and run into the furnaces with tin* iron ore. When the whole is melted the limestone absorbs tin* impurities from the steel product. For this purpose a very high percent limestone is used. Mr. Taylor stales that the bottom ledges of the quary eatt of town are Hie purest yet tried by the steel company, averaging 98 Vi per cent pure. This is some two per cent higher than the BedfDrd product. It is believed that Greencastle stone will be highly successful in the steel work, and that large contracts are ahead.
