"WE KNOW VE ARE DEFEATED"-RAIITZAU

(By, Associated Press) VERSAILLES, May 9. "We declare that we do hot deny the extent of our defeat. We know the power of the German armies is broken." In these words Count von Brock-dorff-Rantzau, head of the German delegation to the peace congress, received the terms of the victorious

allies and associated powers in thoj

Hall of Mirrors of the Trianon palace. The allies presented a solid front, with the Italian envoys back in the conference. In opening the congress Premier Clemenceau, the presiding officer, speaking to the German plenipotentiaries, said: "It is. unnecessary to express needless words. You have before you the plenipotentiaries of the small and great powers united in this most cruel war, which was imposed upon them. The'hour has arrived for a heavy settlement of the account." Piaul Dutasta, secretary general of the peace conference, then delivered a copry of the treaty to Count von Brockdor ff-Rantzau. Jn his reply, after admitting the impotence of German arms, Count von Birockdorft-Rantzau said he was unable to admit that Germany was solely culpable, and demanded that the allies make peace according to President J.Vilson's points.

$2,500 A Year To Keep ! Average U. S. Family WASHINGTON, . May 9. It requires $2,500 a year to keep the average American family, government Investigators have found. Furthermore, the cost of living throughout the United States still is soaring. Of those who depend upon a $2,500 yearly income few families are able to show a surplus of $190 at the year's end. Some are able to save, but a larger number have nothing to show but a deficit. Forty per cent of the income of the

average family goes for food, the largest single item on the list. Clothing calls for 15 per cent; rent about 14 per cent, and light 5 per cent, with expenditures for furnishings about the same. These figures were announced today by the department of labor, which has made a year's survey of living conditions in the United States.

WEEPING ALL OVER AMERICA today with cyclonic intensity is a movement for the promotion of "A Home of Your Own". Behind it is the universal determination to foster and protect AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS. The war taught Americans many

lessons none more vital than that VICTORY came through the SOLIDITY OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP and the foundation of all good citizenship IS THE HOME OF ONE'S OWN.

OOK AT THE PICTURE and, in a nutshell you can grasp the secret of American suc

cess. They are planning, eagerly planning, for possession of that which is the greatest effort of life The Home of One's Own which stands at the end of every day's

labor and beckons us to its bosom.

YOU ARE GOING TO BUILD sometime. Everybody has that impulse which is just as old as life itself. Perhaps you hesitate at the expense, but in all sincerity and candor we say to you that in case you wait, disappointment Will be your portion. Building costs are not going down. And as a matter of fact such have not increased in anything like proportion to other commodities which you are buying every day.

OMMON SENSE dictates that YOU OBEY THAT IMPULSE to delay no longer ; that

you take the plunge NOW; that you go FORWARD, economically as you can, but with one fixed purpose in view "A HOME OF YOUR VERY OWN." Prosperity

is right at hand. Activity, work for everybody, is what is needed now and by making the start, you will serve not only yourself but the NEEDS OF THE NATION in the present emergency.

O "OBEY THE IMPULSE" is the business thing to do ; it is the common sense thing to do ; it is the patriotic thing to do ; it is the one move that any man can make without possibility of regret.

IP e handle only the best of Lumber, lumber from our own factory ' direct, to which is added no expense by reason of a middle man. Come and see us. Call us by telephone.
