LUMBER PRICES TO SOAR.
Dealers Predict Increased Cost OF
BUILDING Next Year.

Chicago. April 15.-A plea Tor the
United States government to finance
men who want to own their homes
and for local building and loan asso-
Citations to be made the agents OF fed
eral banks to supply the money. was
made Yesterday at the American lum-
Der congress at the Congress Hotel.
The speaker was J. r. Moorehead OF
Kansas City, secretary OF the western
Lumbermen's Association. He said:
1T is nice to talk of build now
campaigns and to run 'own-your-
home propaganda. But it is foolish
to advertise such things to a prospec-
tive customer who has neither the
price nor any way to get the price
He wants to own his home, perhaps,
but how ARE the thousands and thou
sands who want to own their homes
going to do it without the money!
That is a matter for the federal
government 1t is the duty Of the gov
crnment TO recognize this situation ana
act. The possibilities from a social
moral and economic standpoint can not
be estimated.
ar want to see this convention take
immediate action, so that bill can De
presented to the next congress pro-
viding that federal loan banks may he
opened. Building and loan assocla-
tions could become agents for federal
banks and let individuals have money
as required for home building.

plan and let our motto be "A Home for

Delegates see no prospect that the
price Of lumber will be any lower--in
fact, they expect a rise instead.
The reasons they give are the I'M
creased cost of labor and supplies
many of them feed their men--and the
shortage Of European lumber.
Another which Is touched
on very lightly 10y lumbermen. but
which has its Effects that there is
not much lumber left In the United
States, comparatively speaking.
Inside Of ton years. at the present
rate Of consumption, the country will
be practically denuded. and the United
States has no Young, growing forests.
