GERMANY OPPOSES
SIGNING PROTOCOL.
ON PEACE TREATY
(By The Associated Press.1

Paris, Dec. 3.-Germany !. has decid-
ed not to sign the protocol presented
to her by the Allies as a condition for
putting the peace treaty into effect,
the peace conference has been noti-
fed.
This attitude is taken as confirming
reports of a sharp reaction in Ger
many within the last fortnight.
Trained observers of German develop
ments take the view that there has
been a complete transformation OF
the situation in Germany and that il
is due to the failure of the United
States to ratify the peace treaty.
These observers declare that while
the vast majority of the German peo-
pie before the Senate's Adjournment
desired the peace treaty to go into
effect as soon as possible, the1r are
now supporting the Governments at
titude in resisting the demands 0f the
Allies for the sinking of the fleet In
Scapa Flow, recompense for which
was provided in the protocol.
The question upon which the Ger
man representatives here, however
appear most sensitive. is the insis,
tence on the trial OF the German of
GERS accused of the commission o.
crimes in France and Belgium.

parts, the necessities and higher life.
The necessities are: Food. clothing,
shelter and operating expenses. The
operating expenses are gas, light, tele-
phone, fuel, soap and the replacement
of utensils when they wear out.
Under higher life come savings, ed
ucation, religious activities, health, in
surance and luxuries.
In making my monthly budget,
looked over my household accounts for
food, am safe in allowing the same
amount in the plan or budget for next
month.
Suppose one should find that the
expenditure for food for the month had
been $50. The budget would not plan
such an extravagant amount again.
The household accounts would show
the housewife her extravaganza. The
budget for the next month would not
allow the mistake to be made again.
No one can make budget for you.
You have to do It yourself. No two
families live under exactly the same
conditions.
Here are some of the family bud
gets which have been tried in millions
of American homes; If the income is
$1,000 year during one month $50 is
spent for food, $40 for rent. $40 to SIS
for operating expenses, 500 for cloth.
es and Is to $40 for Higher Life.
II the income is $1,000 year. during
one month, the expenditures are: Food
$50; rent, $3.50; operating expenses
$40: clothes, is and Higher Life S102.
All of US expect to have greater in
comes in the future. II we organize
our expenditures SO that sufficient
amount is allowed for the necessities,
as the income grows, we will have
more for cultural life and savings.
Women the world over wish to put
housekeeping on business basis. We
wish to more than make both ends
meet. If the bride starts to keep house
hold accounts and make household
budget, she will be doing her bit to
make the business Of housekeeping
successful.

Several Oakland people have secur-
ed tickets for the W. and J.-W. Va.
U. football game scheduled to be play
ed at Morgantown next Thursday and
are making their plans to attend.
The Kill Kare Klub, which was re-
organized on Friday the 7th inst, and
which holds forth in the First Nation
al Bank building, third floor, has
awakened with new spirit and "pep".
While the snow flies and the evenings
are cold the young folks of Oakland
and nearby places gather in their club
room for a general good time. Last
Friday dance and taffy pulling made
a very enjoyable evening, while last
night a dance and a welch rarebit
occupied the evening. At present
there are about forty members and
it is expected thai several more
of the young folks viii become mem
bers in the near future.
Last night the people of Oakland
were practically without light of any
kind with the probable exception of
those who were fortunate enough to
dig up their old kerosene lamps or
who provided themselves with can
dies when it was foreseen that by rea-
son of the low gas pressure the cleo
iris light plant would be unable to OPP
crate during the earlier hours of the
evening, or if it did operate there
would not be sufficient gas for the
home keepers to prepare the evening
meal, hence the electric current was
not turned on until after seven o'clock.
Up to that hour the town was in dark
ness so far as street illumination was
concerned, and there seems to be no
relief in sight nor mode of redress.
