PEACE 18 SIGNED; GREAT WAR
ENDS.

VERSAILLES, June 28-World
peace was signed and sealed in the
historic ball of mirrors at Versailles
this afternoon, but under circum­
stances which somewhat dimmed the
expectations of those who had work­
ed and fought during long years of
war and months of negotiation» for
its achievement.
The absence of the Chinese delega-
tea, who at the last moment were
unable to reconcile themselves to the
Shantung settlement, and left the
eastern empire outside the form of
purviews of peace, struck the first
discordant note in the assembly. A
written protest which General Jan
Christian Smuts lodged with his
signature was
another disappoint­
ment to the makers of the treaty.
Germans Resentful at Last.
But, bulking larger, was the atti­
tude of Germany and the German
plenipotentiaries, which left them,
and evident from the original pro­
gram of the day and from the expres­
sion of Mr. Cremenceau, still outside
any formal reconciliation and made
actua! restoration to regular re la-
tions and intercourse with the allied
nations dependent, not upon the sig­
nature of the "preliminaries of
peace” today, but upon ratification
by the national assembly.
To M. Clemenceau’s stern warning
in his
opening remarks that they
Would be expected, and held, to ob­
serve the treaty provisions legally

replied after returning to the hotel
that had they known they would be
treated on a different status after
signing than the allied representa-
lives, as shown by their separate ex­
it before the general body of the
conference, they never would have
signed.

not mere omission.
The actual ceremony was far short­
er than had been expected, in view
of the number of signatures which
were tc be appended to the treaty
and the two accompanying cove­
nants, ending in a bare 49 minutes
after the hour set for the opening.
The proceedings were carried on
without surface incidents. The sole
words to be recorded in the protocol
of the conference were M. Clemen­
ceau’s short opening allocution, with
it brief, stern warning to the Ger­
mans and his terse phrases declaring
the ceremony closed.
Then vengence for the disgrace of|
1919!”.

The Tageblatt says:
i
“The German people reject the
treaty which its i delegates are sign-
ing today, and it : does not believe for
a single moment, that it will endure.
Despite the fact that it is written on
parchment, it remains a 'scrap of pa­
per,’ because it is a mockery of all
the laws of reason and morals and
the most disgraceful exhibit in the
museum of civilization.”

Not only can you afford to buy a Fordson
you cannot afford to be without one
We will be unable to supply the demand for Fordsons this coming fall
While there will be thousands of Fordson Tractors made, still, there will be some farm owners
who want Fordsotis and will delay their orders so long that it will be impossible to supply them.
Make sure of getting your Fordson. Order it now. Start it to work for you right away.
There are sufficient draw-bar and belt jobs on your farm to be done between now and fall to
keep the Fordson’busy earning money for you, throughout the summer.
And when fall comes, you will have your Fordson ready for the first fall job. You will be familiar
with its operation, so that you will get 100 per cent results throughout the year.
--------o--------
The Fordson will put two 14-inch bottoms in the stiffest soils and still have enough reserve left
over for the peak loads.
The Fordson operates successfully, economically, on cheap kerosene. No raw fuel going through
the exhaust—none passing down through the piston rings into the crankcase.
And its 22 H.P. in the belt make it capable of running your grain separator, your com husker,
your huller, your silo filler, hay baler; in short, it supplies a steady, ecotiomial, dependable power
for all belt jobs within its rating.

Out in the open, where seas
sweep the deck or wharf, where
the gale flings broad the icy
waters, fishermen who know
values wear U. S. “Protected”
rubber boots. These boots will
keep your feet and legs dry
and warm.
Comfort, economy, durability
—these are the qualities that
make “U. S.” the best boots
for you.
U. S. “Prctected” rubber
boots stand the hardest tests of
service. They are built for
double-duty, reinforced where
the wear is greatest. The Gov­
ernment probably used more
U. S. “Protected” rubber boots
during the war, than of all the
other makes combined.
It is said that the United States
will have to endorse polygamy if it
accepts a Turkish mandate. Very
well. If Uncle Sam commits a biga­
mous alliance with Europe in com­
pliance with the league of nations
ritual, an endorsement of polygamy
shouldn't be at all inconsistent.
Every pair of “U. S.” bears
the “U. S. Seal”—trade mark of
the largest rubber manufacturer
in the world. Look for this
seal when buying rubber boots.
It means real protection for
