What They Taught

The German newspapers state that 14.722 teachers
= German public schools and colleges have been killed,
ntnce the war began. Statistics will probably show a
pFpportionately large number of preachers. lecturers and
outhors lost in promoting autocracy's ambition and greed.
There's no question of German educational classes
loyalty to the doctrine that Might is Right. And this is
Just one OF the very strong reasons why Germany must
oe given a new deal. from head to foot. when peace comes.
She must not only be stripped of power to interfere with
the peace Of other nations but she must also be given
= new spirit. She has been thoroughly educated to op-
preston, brutality and vilainy. 1t is appropriate that her
educators largely contribute to her war losses.

HOW TO ESCAPE
FROM THE II ORD

Asst Tuesday ! wrote an adver.
Il tiseinent with the heading: THE
Lord Bless Our Landlord and Keep
Him Won't" And the next day
we were literally showed under!
The telephone rang necessarily
from eight o'clock until nearly mid
night, and the office was all too small
to accommodate the throngs.
Everybody had the one question to
ask:
where is the property located?"
And | promised to answer that
question tonight. So here is the an
swcr:
EsI YNMAR"-has been christened:
Il "The Home Place Beautiful" 1t
is located at the end Of the Lake Burien
City Carline, adjoining Three Tree
Point and the Sound Beaches.
1t is twenty-eight minutes ride
from the West side Of the Spokane
Avenue Bridge.
When the new elevated railroad is
completed, it will be within forty.five
minutes ride from Downtown"
Nearly all the tracts have a view of
the Olympic Mountains and the
Sound.
A fine school is within a short walk
Of the property.
Telephones and Electric Lights are
available.
Spring water is being piped to every
tract.
The carlinc is just two short blocks
away.
The prices range from one hundred
and seventy-five dollars to six hundred
and fifty dollars, depending, of course,
on the size and location.
And the terms are so easy that the
family pocketbook need never miss the
money.
Asst night we let a contract for n
l. dozen bungalows.
They will be sold for a small amount
down-oh, say, twenty-five dollars a
month.
Those bungalows cost four hundred
and fifty dollars apiece.
Between ourselves, they're not
worth it!
But they're the best we, or anybody
else can do; but it beats paying rent,
any way you figure it.
A lot of people are buying these

artistic little houses who win later add
to them, or use them for a garage.
But they tell US they will postpone any
large building operations until they
can get more for their money-and
it looks as tho they are Very Wise.S
WE expect to put up a hundred
w homes at Lynmar. A contrac-
tor and an architect have established
an office or the ground and are doing
things Al fast as men and materials
can be gotten together.
We suggest that you build as little
now as possible. DEBT is like an
other tap@easy enough to get into,
but
The folks who have already bought
are folks whom your wife would be
glad to have on her list of callers
Their youngsters are such a.
YOURS would be safe to play with.
The Homes of Lynmar will be such
as you will be glad to show.
The cost will not be excessive, the
taxes are insignificant. There is wood
and water, room for a few chickens,
and a garden.
And anybody who is anybody can
pay twenty-five dollars a month.
And less than a dollar a day buys
a bungalow.
SUGGESTED in the last advertise
1 ment hat you could pack the lunch
basket and go out Sunday land make
a day of it."
Now l am going to withdraw the
invitation
PLEASE DON'T co!
The hundreds of letters and teIe-
phone calls we have had indicate that
there will be more people there than
we can possibly handle.
Go any afternoon or evening, or ar
range to 60 by auto. Cars leave this
office every afternoon during the sale.
If you have a car of your own, you
can drive out over the Des Moines

office on the ground.
