PEACE CONFERENCE
NOT OUT OF WOODS

Paris, April 9.-An agreement has
been reached on the reparation on the
responsibility for war. The peace con-
ference is not yet decided in regard to
the secret treaties made by several of
the allied countries before the armis-
tice was signed, it was learned today,
in reference to the conference being
agreed on the principal points.
Only the details are to be settled
means that showdown on the London
pact is yet to come. Suggestions
from high quarters reported that the
delegates are locking over fourteen
points is accepted as reminder that
Wilson is standing as firmly as ever
on the principals laid down in the
Armistice terms. These terms recog-
nize no secret treaties.
When Greece's claims were being
discussed by the delegates, this CON-
naittee said it was not complete to
discuss certain points in regard to
Smirna. This situation came up, it
was learned, just as President Wilson
returned to the conference after his
illness, and it has not yet been sub
mitted to the attentions Of the Big
Four.
The Big Four is understood to have
reached the decision that Germany
must pay five billion dollars within
two years, with an undetermined bal
ance to be fixed by a permanent f.
nancial committee.

BUILD i A HOME

Valley City is moving ahead Faster
than any other town in the state of
North Dakota. But in one direction it
is not moving fast enough; in the
building of homes to accommodate the
people who wish to locate here. Val
ley City is city of homes, the sta
tistics showing that it has a larger
percentage of owned homes than any
other city of the west if not of the
United States. But there are not
homes enough at that.
Families by the scores are prevent
ed from locating here. for the very
good and sufficient reason that they
can find no place in which TO live.
Scores of travelling men are prevented
from bringing their families here be-
cause of lack of homes in which to
live,
This is a fact that every one knows
you can hear it on the any street cor
ner, or demonstrate for yourself by
inquiry. The hardest problem in VAL
ley City is the finding of a place to
call a home. =.
Under the circumstances it would
seem that some one of capital should
ma mere liulLlul LIEU LUZ ANSCoC-
ment.
A story is told of city in neigh
boring state last year was up against
this same proposition. Three young
men of that city who had gathered a
few thousand dollars, saw the neces-
sity for homes and the opportunity
for investment. They secured plans
for $4,000 dwelling which they pro-
posed selling for $4,000, taking GER
tain amount down and making certain
arrangements upon the balance. They
started the erection of three houses
and before they were finished they
were sold, and they stated, had they
capital they could have sold 80, in
stead of three. That incident illus
trates what lies awaiting for the live
investor of Valley City today.
Build. a home in Valley City is 6
slogan which means money-and pop
ulation. 1t means money to the con
tractor"or investors who grasp the OPP
portunity, and population to the city
in the way of hundreds of families re
siding here, now compelled to live else
| where because of lack of living facili
ties. The need of Valley City today
| is modern dwellings, for the people
| who are anxious to come here to re
side. Build a home in Valley City,
and this goes for the investor as vel
as the man behind the home.
