BUILDING NOT TO BE CHEAPER

Prospect of Lower Level.

According to the news service OF the
National Lumber Manufacturers Asso-
citation. Build Now" advocates are en-
phasizing the fact that there is no pros
pect OF building material becoming any
cheaper
I'm fact" the service says. many
think that new price level has been
reached and the fact that prices are
high is not now so much a matter Of CON
Germ TO most business men as is the sta =
bility OF prices. Lumbermen every
where are opposed to cutting wages I'M
til food and clothing prices are substan-
TALLY less than at present and 40 the
reasoning goes in a circle and leads back
TO the original promise that lumber
prices are not likely TO drop for long
time to come. Mills In every section of
the country are operating now at a loss

BELGIUM,
by Brand Whitlock

1t tells of Belgium and the
German invasion. The man who
wrote it was the L. S. Minister
to Belgium during the country's
four years of agony.
When the Germans invaded
Belgium and the diplomats
moved their official residences from
Brussels to Havre, Brand Whitlock,
defying precedent, refused to leave
the Belgian people and remained
firm at his post. Day by day he
watched the German hordes ravag-
ing, pillaging, crushing the Belgian
people: day by day he stood between
the temporary conQuerors and their
helpless victims, the last hope of
those tortured folk: night by night
he recorded in his diary the outrages
he saw committed in mockery Of all
laws of decency. order and civiliza-
ton.
This book contains those records
living witnesses to the rape OF a
nation. The burning of cities and
cathedrsls, the cutting of innocent
homes, the unprovoked bayoneting
Of women and children, the de-
portation Of young girls--all are
here. The brutal story Of Nurse
Cayell's murder is told in full by the
American whose utmost efforts
to save her from her hideous
fate, fruitless as they were, have
earned him the thanks OF her
whole nation. A powerful writer.
his very soul SCARED by the tragedy,
Brand Whit!ock has given the world
the epic Of Belgium. 1t Is a book
that will live; work that every
public and private library should
possess.
Two volumes, octave, with
portraits; cloth, gi t top. I'M
