The Greatest Showing of Fine
Rugs in the Entire City

your rugs Today, with the great shortage
and scarcity of rugs of first quality, it is a
temptation for many retailers to sell rugs
of inferior wearing quality that have

rug. But the test of any rug is the
actual service on the floor of your
home and it is there that you viii find our
rugs will demonstrate their true quality. Our
prices are considerably lower than many
stores are asking for rugs of similar quality
because we bought them when prices were
lower than they are at present. No large

He insisted that members of the city
council who stated they had never had

municipal yards or had never been con-
suited as to whether they would push
such a project were in error because he
had called a number of conferences for
this purpose and that only the faith

sponded.
MAYOR SAYS
HE'LL ACT SOON.
The mayor intimated he intends to
preparefan ordinance to get the munic-
ipal yard project under way very soon.
Persons who remember circumstances
existing last summer, when the mayor
was getting columns of publicity on his
municipal yard project in the newspaper
for which he has been acting in the ca
pacity of messenger boy recently, recall
that at that particular time the school
city of Indianapolis was striving TO set
money with which to build badly needed
schOolhouses and that there finally de-
veloped the question:
''Shal we Guild barns for mules or
school buildings for children?"
Members of the city council who have
steadfastly refused to be led willy nilly
by the mayor took the side of the
schools in this instance, and It is thought
the prospect of their determined oppo-
sition prevented the mayor from press
ing his project.
