Speaking Of the advantage of making
these exhibits, President L. w. Hill says,
from experience we find that we get
better results from our exhibits at land
shows than from any other single form
of advertising which we do
It follows that if the railroads get
such good results from the land show
exhibits, the states which they represent
must get large share of the benefit.

Valparaiso, Ind, June 22.-Probably
the most startling statement that was
made in the Knots case, now on trial
before Special Judge Charles Haniy of

McAleer. for the defense. in which
he said that he expected to show that
the indictment of Knots is con-
spiracy for political purposes and that
much OF the states testimony would
be procured.
The attorneys for the state have al
ready introduced the testimony of If
teen witnesses. and Attorney William

troduce the testimony from at least
twenty-five or thirty more.
This makes it apparent that the state

Fortunately for Hammond it had pub
lie spirited men with the money neces-
sary to purchase SO large tract of

How Deal Was Made.
The newspapers in Hammond were
appraised of the plans of these men and
asked to cooperate in the work of
securing the property by avoiding the
premature publication of the plans of
the purchasers The local papers did
not betray the confidence. and the deal
went through smoothly to the end.
Fred r. Mott, who is considered one
of the shrewdest dealers in acreage
property in the Calumet district, was
selected a sthe agent to purchase the
property The announcement of the
purchase indicates how successful he
was In his negotiations.
A community will absorb only so
much real estate in given time, and
the men who were interested in this
purchase were wise enough to know
that ii would be foolish to throw all
of this property on the market at once
Then the idea of lin town" coun-
try club was suggested and this solved
the problem. The very people whose
homes would be protected by the pur-
chase of the property, and its owner
ship in friendly hands, were the people
who would be most likely to support a
country club that was easily accessible
and this fact convinced Fitzgerald and
Betz of the feasibility of the plan.

The finding of the body was reported
