Par and Accrued Interest—One . a Temporary Loan.

J. F- Wild and Co. have bought two Marlon county bond issues totaling $350,000. The first Issue was for $200,000, bore 3 per cent, and was a temporary loan, which will be paid December 20, 1917. The other issue of $150,000, 3% per cent, flood j prevention bonds, ruiys two to twenty years. The company paid par and ac-

crued interest.

Indiana investment bankers have been pointing to recent sales of bonds of this type as indicating that, in case of war. local bond issues probably will not recede. It Is said that since tax listing time. March 1, premiums paid for bonds in this state have been almost equal to the premiums for bonds sold prior to March 1. “Marion county.” said J. F. Wild, following the sale, “can sell about $1,000,000 of additional bonds or loans and be within the 2 per cen{. constitutional bonded limit permitted by law. - If we are to have war, a bond such as an Indiapa county issue would not decline to any notable extent. Marion county's bonded debt at this time approximates $4,250,000, and its financial rating on the basis of its taxable Valuation is as good as that of any, county in any state, and its bonds, properly issued, are as good as bonu> sold by the federal government.''

The Tailored Suit

Comes to Fashionable Perfection In the Pettis Specialized Groups For Women and Misses rj'IRST of all, remember this important fact: In all of these special groups of spring suits there are styles and sizes for women of regular build, stout women, small women and misses. In other words, EVERY woman can find the exact style and size that is be^st adapted to her needs; and that is a condition that is not met with in the average store. Next— The influence of this great buying organization in the best eastern markets enables us to offer values that could not be obtained in the regular way. And by specializing suits at certain prices our purchases are naturally larger, and the corresponding concessions are greater than otherwise would be the case.

Consider the Group at $24.50 You can choose from all-wool serges, gaberdines, poplins, Poiret twills and worsted checks. Materials, of course, mean very little on paper, but when you see the quality of the fabrics, the smart styles and the dainty trimmings you’ll understand, why they are better than the usual $24.50 garments that are offered to you in the regular way. All the good colors are available—from the new gold to the staple navy and black.

Exceptional Choosing at $29.50 A little more of the unusual—in fashion line and trimming, including the trim and serviceable men’s wear mixtures, the soft, sill^y velours and chic Poiret twills. Many variations of the Norfolk are in evidence— even to the mannish pinch-backs, and there are longer coats that indicate a careful ad;> herence to the newer edicts of fashion. Bright, happy colors add beauty to the picture and interest to the choosing.

The Dressier Modes at $35.00 The values in this group are unusually interesting when you pause to consider the quality of the materials, the beauty of the trimmings and the many little details that help to make fashion excellence. The woman who desires a practical suit for street wear will find an adequate variety to choose from; and the woman who prefers a dressy suit for afternoon occasions will find an equal number of appropriate styles. Satisfaction Comes of Good Values \ No matter what you may pay for your spring suit, it must be accurate in fit and well adapted to your needs in order to be looked upon as good value; and in a variety like this—so much larger in numbers, so far superior in every fashion detail—you are sure to get the exact model that will give you the greatest satisfaction and the utmost service.

Other exclusive groups at all prices are ready here from S39.50 upward grad-
