HATCHERiES TO BE ENLARGED State Plans New Ponds at Bass and Tri-Lakes. Enlargement of two State fish hatcheries, one at Bass Lake in Knox county and the other at TriLakes, near Columbia City, is planned for this spring by the State Conservation Department. The Bass Lake property will be increased from eight to eighteen ponds and in order to make the improvement it was necessary to acquire seven and one-half acres. Five acres were purchased and the remainder was deeded to the State by Robert J. Virtue of Chicago. When the two hatcheries are enlarged to meet the increased demand from all over the State for stock fish, Indiana will have seventy-eight ponds in its five hatcheries. Requests for stock fish increased from 274 in 1919 to 1,400 In 1927. Last year the State reared and released in public waters 13,003,355 young sigh of which 993,273 were large and small-mouth black bass; 465,489 bluegills, 46,543 crappie,

Ghouls Sever Body in Cemetery Near Bedford Tin Vnltcd Press BEDFORD, Ind., April 6.—Completely without clews, authorities today investigated activities of ghouls who opened a thirty-year-old grave in Fleetwood cemetery near here and removed half a corpse. The grave was that of Charles Mitchner. The theft of the body was discovered by Mrs. Dennis Fleetwood, who went to the cemetery to visit graves of relatives and noticed a pile of fresh dirt. She peered into a hole and saw a glass topped lead casket, with the lower extremities of the body visible. Nearby farmers were summoned. Opening the casket they discovered that the body had been severed at the waist and the upper half removed. The lead casket and embalming had combined to preserve the body, officials said. Authorities attempted to communicate with Mitchner’s relatives in an effort to learn if kny valuaoles were buried with him thirty years ago, but the family has left this section and a search for members of it so far have been unsuccessful. The condition of the earth led officers to believe that the ghouls had visited the cemetery only a few hours before Mrs. Fleetwood.

51,650 rock bass or goggle eye, 2,185,800 yellow perch, and 9,260,000 pike, perch or wall-eye. These figures show the steady progress and growth of the hatcheries which in 1918 only reared and released 370,361 spawn. Enlargement of the hatcheries will not only increase the annual output of fish, but will also give the

State added opportunity to rear more fish to the fingerling stage before planting. Sells Soap as Cheese NEW YORK, April 6.—Stephen Annelli was sent to jail for three months because six five-dollar cheeses he sold to a customer turned out to be nice creamy soap.

URGES DRIVERS CHECKDETOURS Spring Season of Repairs, Todd Warns. Spring is the season of the year in which motorists are lured into the country on night or week-end trips, but also it is the season of road construction, highway repairs and detours, today warned Todd Stoops, Hoosier Motor Club secre-tary-manager. The motorist should make certain the roads over which he expects to drive are not temporarily closed, Stoops declared. “It is impossible to take issue with State or county highway officials over this condition. Their task Is to put- the roads into shape as quickly and effectively as possible in anticipation of the long period of heavy motor travel which will begin in a few weeks. They must make the most of the first fine days of spring for this work. “Therefore, the motorist must check up on the roads before starting a trip. To make this easier and certain, this club and others of the 1,046 comprising the American Automobile Association maintain efficient machinery for collecting vital road detour data. This is available to the motorist at all times.” MAN DRIVEN TO ARSON Acquits Father of 11 for Burning Home to Get Insurance.
