BAD NEWS FOR HUNTERS.

Supply of License Blanks Down to 500 and There is a Big Demand. Indiana is iq the midst of a hunting license famine. S© great has been the drain on the office of the state fish and game commission in preparation for the present open season that the visable supply has been reduced to five hundred license forms, with the state printer unable to make a new delivery for two weeks. The five hundred on hand are in the possession of George W. Miles, state fish and game commissioner, and county clerk alter county clerk is writing in and demanding that suplies be sent. The demand for - licenses far outstripped the estimate which Mr. Miles had made in ordering the blanks and when he appealed to the state printer it was found that the printer was out of the specially prepared paper on which the blanks are printed. As a consequence, the hunter who hasn’t been successful in obtaining a license will be compelled to forego his shooting until the new supply of blanks is received unless he can get one of the five hundred now on hand.
