It j is difficult to find suitable men to care j for the hatcheries, since several years of experience is necessary before a fair knowledge of fish culture can be obtained. Os the nine men employed six have been engaged in fish culture for a number of years. rOXDS USEFUL IN MANY WAYS. The conservation department points out that fish ponds are useful in many ways. “Unproductive lands,” the report reads, “lacking soil fertility necessary to successful agriculture In these modern times, can be utilized for pond fish cul ture, both with profit and pleasure to the land owners, is the opinion expressed by Mr. Mannfeld, widely known advo cate of fish culture and superintendent of the Indiana fish and game division. Ponu culture has long been a fixture In the life of the husbandryman in manyforeign countries. It is a neglected enterprise'in the United States except in the raising of gold fish. The division of fish and game is prepared to provide valuable intimation to all Indiana farmers who desire to build fish ponds and the State will stock these ponds upon application of the owners. “A fish pond on the farm will not only- provide aquatic food for the entire j family, but also be a means of pleasant j entertainment for those persons of tbe ' household or for friends who may be j lured by the sport of catching water ■ denizens. Again this same fish pond j will in winter provide a crop of ice that j may be cut anti stored on the farm for the "family's use during the long, hot j summer months. For providing ice skat- i lug, a delightful, invigorating winter sport. It is ideal and tends to further community social Interests."

Advocating fish ponds on the farms the pamphlet says; “Fish ponds on Hoosier farms can easily be made very remunerative investments and at very little initial expenditure. They are extremely practical. FOOD FOR LIFE IS INVALUABLE. “The raising of fish as compared to live stock and poultry lias a distinct advantage in the fact that the food necessary to maintain aquatic life is Invaluable, as a rule unmarketable, while the agricultural products necessary to maintain live stock have a high commercial value and usually meet a strong, receptive market. “Unlike land animals which feed upon agricultural products of value to man. fish will exist on animal and vegetable matter that has no value regards human consumption. However, by consuming such invaluable matter to mankind, fish will tranform themselves into a food that is very valuable to the human race, and the transition will be accomplished at little or practically no cost to the fish pond owner." It is pointed out that by planting fish in the lake that they will be saved for future use. “By reason that, the greater number of Hoosier streams today are nothing more than sewers carrying the wastes of the industrial cities, and their waters are so contaminated that it is impossible for aquatic life to live long therein, it behooves us of this generation to preserve the beautiful lakes of this State for the Hooslers to come. Unless rigid remedial measures are soon employed, not a stream or watercourse of any importance In Indiana will long retain anything of its former pristine purity, and consequently if the aquatic life Is to be preserved and perpetuated, the lakes are our only hope. “The gun and fishing tackle form an important part of the equipment of the present day tourist, and his travels generally take him to where sport is reasonably good in both pursuits. That Indiana has the lake resorts to lure him Is undisputed, ami these resorts can be made doubly attractive is a point that the people through their representatives iu the General Assembly must decide."

DRUGGED INTO WEDLOCK-GIRL Pretty Chicago Miss Gets Decree on Booze Charges. DENVER, Jan. I.—The marriage of Leola Cleveland, pretty Chicago girl, and reputed to be wealthy, and Lars Swanson of this city, was annulled in District Court yesterday on the strength of one of the most unique documents ever filed iu the court. In a deposition sent from Chicago, Miss Cleveland declared that she came to the Brown Palace Hotel here Sept. 18 last, where she met Swanson. Declaring that Swanson "plied her with drugs and whisky,” she admits that they were both "‘gloriously drunk for six days." During the extended spree, according to the deposition, Swanson took Miss Cleveland to the license bureau and showed her the records of their marriage, threatening her with death if she attempted annullment proceedings. Swanson admitted the week's battle with John Barleycorn, but denied ail knowledge of any marriage oeremony.

APPEAL FALLS ON DEAF EARS Baby Fails to Find Home and Three Are Out in Cold. Here's a baby that wants a home. She's neither an orphan nor in such circumstances that she cannot afford a home. And despite the fact that her initials are “D. A. M.” she is not such a nuisance that it would be impossible for other persons to live in the same house with her. The worst of it is that her mother and father would like to have a home. According to indications there is no place for a baby in Indianapolis. A careful survey of all “furnished houses to let," in the various local newspapers proves this to be a fact in the great majority of cases. Ijiou answering one of the advertisements appearing today, which sounded like suitable place to live, a rather ultra-stout lady appeared In answer to the doorbell. "We understand you have an apartment for rent; could we look at it?" she was asked. After a more or less careful survey of the surroundings—you know It isn't a question of getting what you wish, it Is a question of taking what you can get—she was asked what she desired for the apartment. “Oh, ouly $125." Then came the time to spring the fatal bit of information. ‘‘You know, we h.av? a 2-year-otd child,” rather meekly. "Oh, my goodness, we could never allow a child in our apartment." And such were the replies received at virtually all of the "furnished apartments for rent," in Indianapolis. And here's a baby who wants a home —who, in fact, must have a home by tomorrow night, because nt her present location she is requested to leave by a loving mistress of a dog which barks continually; a polly parrot. Which talks all day and makes plenty of noise at night, and a Persian cat, which keeps all the persons in tbe neighborhood awake night after night by his back fence activities. And this isn't just a wild day dream, because it's a reporter’s baby who so badly needs a home. MANY JAPS IN HAWAII. WASHINGTON, Jan.

SYMMES DENIES STIVENS LIBERTY Refuses to Sign Paper Pardoning Dry Law Violator. An eleventh-hour attempt to obtain the freedom of Pat Stivens, who Is nowserving an Indiana State Farm sentence which was imposed by Special Judge Frank Symmes of City Court on a charge j of violating the State liquor law was . nipped yesterday by Mr. Symmes. An employe of the State-house called ! upon Mr. Symmes and asked him to sign a paper, having for its object the pardon of Stivens by Governor Goodrich before the “pardoning Governor" stepped out of office. “I refused to sign the paper or have anything to do with getting Stivens off of the penal farm," said Mr. Symmes. Mr. Symmes has been pauper attorney in Criminal Court for several years and he was not reappointed by the county commissioners for 1921. It was said at the time that Symmes had become unpopular with certain politicians because he had revoked a former suspended sentence on Stivens when he was arrested on another charge. Counsel then made a bea line Into Superior Court, room 3, in an unsuccessful ! effort to get Tat released on a writ of habeas corpus. Stivens was no sooner at the farm than efforts were inude to get him released. Stivens is at the Indiana State. Farm, it was announced at the courthouse.
