Wor1en's Nelu
Suits at
$35 o$49.5O

These are proving the most
popular prices for women's
suits just now in our ready-to-
wear department. Undoubtedly
the reason is because we are
giving some values that are sim.
ply remarkable.
A local tailor who examined
one of our suits at $40 so said
that it couldn't be matched for
less than $500 in any city and
that suits of such tailoring and
quality of material are selling up
to $1,000.
The fact that women of Cald-
well appreciate such values If
evidenced in the way they have
been making their selections
here lately.
There's a model here that will
just suit YOU we are sure. and
whatever price you pay you'll
get splendid value.
IF YOU PAY LESS THAN
WE ASK, YOU SIMPLY GET
LESS THAN WE GIVE.

OUR ICE DISMAYS
MEXICAN BEAUTY
Wife of American Wants to Go
Back to Sunny Land.

A beautiful Mexican woman today is
grooming a quaint Spanish song in all
Indianapolis apartment house.
Senorita Trejo de Granados Gonzalez
was her name in Mexico until it was
changed by an American to Mrs. Earl
Stefen.
As Sonora Steffen looks out of the win
dows of Apartment at Ala North Ala
bama street upon the ice anw snow she
longs for the warm south.
She speaks practically no English, but
her healthy, vigorous black-eyed, dark
haired son Ramon, ., can say dammit
in both English and Spanish.
ALL WONDERMENT
TO TINY NATALIA.
In a little white crib lies Natalia, not
vet year old, born in Mexico and whose
black eyes CLEAN with amazomeht at
strangers.
Eleven years ago Steffen went to Mex
leo and opened commisary and to this
little store came the pretty Senorita.
Steffen generally gave her fourteen
oranges for dozen and closed his eyes
when he measured out her sugar.
After a three-year courtship, during
which Steffen learned eloquent Spanish,
he married her They moved to Indi-
annapolis last December.
The cool winds. the snow and the ice
will soon drive them back into Texas
and the Mexican border.
"Will the flowers never bloom and the
air become warm ?" she asked the re-
porter IN Spanish
THINKS L. ;. SHOULD .
NOT INTERFERE.
Steffen, who understands the Mexicans
is of the opinion that the only policy
{ FOR This country IN edOnt Is absolute
on-intervention.
Let both Mexican factions buy as
much ammunition and arms as they de-
sire in the United States and then let
the two factions fight it out on Mexican
SOIL" said he.
Steffen claims that Carranza is weak
ening, and if America should step in
it would require several years and the
/ loss of many United States soldiers be-
fore this country restored order and
fair government there.

HOLLAND FLATLY
REFUSES REQUEST

PARIS, Jan. 24.-Holland has refused
fatty to grant the allied request for ex-
tradition of the former kaiser.
The reply of the Dutch government to
the allied note was handed to the for
eign office late last night 1t charac-
terized the allied request as devoid of
legal justification.
After reciting the demands in the allied
note the Dutch reply said:
The queen has the honor to observe,
first. that obligations which for Germany
could have resulted from Article 2sS
OF the treaty of peace can not serve
to determine the duty of Holland, which
is not a party to the treaty.
Continuing the note declared, Holland
"can not admit in the present case any
other duty than that imposed upon 1t
by the laws Of the kingdom and national
tradition
"The constituent laws of the kingdom.
the note added, "can not permit the gov
ernment of Holland to defer to the desire
of the powers by Withdrawing from the
former emperor the benefit of it's laws"

THE liquor interests are establish

Roughly, we have three duties re-

tiles today rushed plans 90 bring to trial
here eighty-fve leaders of the COM
munist party indicted by a Cook county
grand jury yesterday on the charge of
conspiracy to cause an armed revolution
In the United States.
Among the radical leaders named in the
indictments we're:
Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, now out on
bond pending appeal to the United States
district court of appeals at st. Paul Of
her conviction in Kansas City federal
court Of three violations Of the espionage
act She is member of the central ex-

BERLIN, Jan. 24-Au indications
here are that Germany does not
care a rap what becomes of the for
mer kaiser"
The Berlin press, including mon
archist and reactionary newspapers,
have made no special mention Of the
former emperor for a week There
is not a newspaper maintaining
correspondent at Amerongen, Hol-
land, where the erstwhile war lord
is now living in exile.
Even now when the allied press
IS filed with dispatches bearing upon
the case of the former ruler, the Ber-
lin newspapers have been only re
printing British and Dutch tele-
grams without any comment.
Not a single political writer of
prominence has come forward as the
champion of the former kaiser In
the vernacular of the public, ''Wil-
liam's cause is dead as a door nail
and ancient history in Germany"

extradition finally terminate, the re-
suit will have no effect upon the
critical problems Of reconstruction
that have been left by the war.
The monarchists are said to have
abandoned their former chief because
he fed into Holland. The republicans
are Indifferent, believing there is no
danger of his return.
REGARDED ONLY AS
A FORMER PUPPET.
Political students say the former
kaiser is not hated he is simply ig
noEed, being regarded as a puppet in
the hands of a strong element that
formerly influenced him Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg and Gen. Lu-
dendorf were said TO represent the
strongest influences back of the for
mer kaiser, especially during the lat
ter half of the war
While there is little interest in the
case, 1t is felt the attempt to extra
dite other German war figures, some
of whom are still in the country, may
be filed with danger. 1t is feared
that efforts to secure certain German
officers who still have hold on the
public might infame nationalist and
anti-republican reactions. The Ger
man public probably will awaken into
keen interest when the allies begin
demanding other Germans who MS
ured prominently IN the war.

HAD NO U. S. PERMIT

Charges today we're made that
o. H. Bloom, proprietor of the Cen
tral meat market, 245 East Washing
ton street, sought to corner" the
sugar market in Indianapolis.
The charges grew out of a complaint
placed before United States District At
torney Fred VanNuys, in which Stanley
wyckOff, former food administrator
points out wholesale purchases and sales
of sugar by Bloom without a government
license.
vanNuys Immediately started a search
Ing Investigation.
Mr.. wyckotf, who during the war was
federal food administrator for Marion
county, told Mr.. VanNuys that Bloom
did not hold a federal license to handle
sugar as wholesale grocer, but not
withstanding had bought up over one
third of a million pounds Of. sugar from
c. D. Kinney Company, local brokers,
between Nov. Is and Dec. 8, 1919, In his
speculation scheme.
"The exact figures show that Bloom
handled 1882 barrels Of sugar since the
ban was lifted on sugar last Oct. IS, or
to be specific, he bought up this amount
largely between Nov. Is and Dec. g." said
Mr.. Wyckon.
WILL REPORT
TO PALMER.
No specific statement was made by Mr..

tanning 375 pounds, figures up to $4,000
pounds.
Mr.. Wyckoff said he called Bloom to
his office in November and asked him
about handling sugar in such large
quantities. Bloom at that time is said
to have told Mr. Wyckof that be was
merely retailing it to his customers.
In connection with the inquiry the gov

from THE Friendly Church" to "A
Friendly Church." for the sake of not
egotisticany proclaiming and retaining
the limitations Of the article the" Rev.
Fifer explained.
As for limitations of advertising, Rev.
Fifer holds that a church should branch
out in much the same way any growing
business firm does, utilizing every factor
of advertising that will magnify the
call of Christ to mankind.
BUSINESS PRINCIPLES
CAN BE APPLIED.
''Much of the same thing that makes
men buy a product applies to church
advertisements, and the same principles
of salesmanship in the commercial world
will apply to the advancement of the
church. said Rev. Fifer, emphatically.
Assisting Rev. Fifer in his pastoral
advertising campaigns, Russell G. Sum
ner, chairman Of the publicity committee,
is backing up the work of the church
in sending out its appeal to the city.
From the pages Of "The Dynamo"
come church news, personals, snappy
little interesting stories, helpful sug-
gestions to teachers and churchgoers.
And in addition to the advertisements
in the Indianapolis newspapers and the
publication of THE Dynamo" Rev. Fifer
sends out regularly letters by mail ask
ing people to come to church and take
part in the Lords work
AS an old newspaperman along with
Walt Mason back in Kansas, Rev. Fifer
in his younger days learned to "cover
assignments for a Lincoln newspaper.
He like the work but felt ne could be
more effective in the pulpit than with
the press, hence he went to college and
became a wearer of the cloth,-and an
advertising preacher.
