Grant Smith, the American High Commissioner in Bupdaest, has succeeded in saving about 50,000,000 crowns to Americans who recently opened accounts for trading purposes. The Hungarian government in March issued a decree requiring the stamping of notes of the Austro Hungarian bank circulating in Hungary, to relieve its financial embarrassement and ordered one half of the money presented for stamping to be withdrawn and converted into a compulsory state loan. Some of the bankers saw a good opportunity of loading their inevitable losses on the shoulders of their American clients. Although the Americans had only current or drawing accounts some of the bankers of Budapest attempted to treat them as actual money deposits, pass off their ready money as the American deposits, get it stamped and write a letter to their clients stating henceforth they could dispose of only one half of their deposit. As for the Unlf IU _ * .< i onir umcr nan wit? wtic *n DCV eral cases notified they had participated in a compulsory Hungarian state loan, the bonds of which were non-transferable and non-negoftiable but valid for the payment of taxes.. The scheme was frustrated by the intervenation of Mf. Grant Smith, who made representations to the Hungarian government that no money transaction of tlie government could involve financial losses to the citizens of the United States. As the rightfulness of this principle was acknowledged by the Hungarian government* the bankers were outwitted. This incident, as Mr. Grant Smith remarked answers the question: ''Does efficient diplomatic service pay " UNION COUNTY W. M. U. The W. M.

FRONT CELL CAMPAIGN Chicago. July 19.?A "front cell" 'campaign is planned by the Socialist Party for Eugene V. Debs, its presidential nominee, according to Williaip M. Feigenbaum, director of publicity for the national campaign. genbaum said the party intenosr to send some prominent Socialist to Debs' prison at Atlanta every month. What Debs has to ?ay will then be distributed by the campaign committee. J The usual touring will be taken care of by Seymour Steadman, of Chicago, the vice-presidential nominee. He is to start the middle of this month for Toxas and Oklahoma, finishing this trip the latter part of August, and on the first of September plans to begin a trans-continental tour ending in Chicago two months later. Two of the Socialists expelled from the New York State Assembly, Mr. Feigenbaum said, are now out speaking for the national office in the campaign. Louis Waldman and August Claessens are the men so engaged. The campaign publicity chief said that 12 speakers in all are now out campaigning. Socialist strength, he added, now appeal's greatest in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, California and Idaho.

NEGOATING FOR NEWSPRINT IN CANADA Fort Scott, Kan., July 19.?George W. Marble, editor of the Fort Scott Tribune, has been in Canada on a mission for Kansas newspapers in an effort to rnke a deal with Canadian paper mills for cooperative buying by the smaller newspapers. He writes that the plan was received with ''warm sympathy" by one of the larger manufacturers. Referring to his visit at this mill, in Ottawa, Ontario, he writes: "I had a conference with the assistant sales manager and laid before him our cooperative buying plan of saving the smaller newspapers of the state from extinction. He manifested the same warm sympathy for the publishers of small papers we found in the head of.^s of other larger paper producers. Our plan, he said, was absolutely the best practical way of protecting the smaller papfers." MANY HOTELS CLOSED 0 J. New York, July 19.?The bidding: power of office seekers and not prohibition has caused many hotels in the jj general vicinity of 42nd street to close tl recently, according to opinions of real f estate^men expressed today. h Within a relatively short time of S one another such old and famous si hostelries as the Holland house, l Sherry's and the Fifth Avenue hotel E have closed their doors and more re- ti cently the Knickerbocker?a relatively f new and imposing structure?aban- v doned business. A ''Prohibition has done this," cried c many wets, but now one well known o hotel woman has advanced the theory ii that the steady march of business c toward the newer uptown sections was t: a paramount consideration of the men d who decided to close their hostelries. y "A hotel man doesn't have to run c behind to close," she declared, "if the P owner of the property considers it bet- 0 ter business policy to erect an office * building on the ground, he isn't likely * to let sentiment sway him. Prohibi- 1 tion? No! Let's say business. n Real estate men admitted, however, there was no general formula to ac- ^ count for the disappearance of the old 11 hotels, some of them possessors of in- ? ternational reputations. t Some people who are closely in touch with the hotel business ascribe 0 Q the closing of some of the older houses to the fact that the principles of hotel construction have undergone j radical changes in the last decade. ^ Hotels, they say, are being built with v several times as many rooms as for- ^ merly, effecting a concentration about j one controlling headquarters and re- j due|ng the "overhead expense" in- ^ cident to upkeep of individual rooms j and apartments. Something more ,than sentimental loss is entailed in the passing of the out noteis, anotner notei manager points out. ''With the closing of the Holland <j House, Sherry's, the Knickerbocker r and the Manhattan," he said, "there c has been a decrease of about 2,200 r rooms available in the center of the city. Recent structures hve Supplied <j about 4,200 rooms, leaving a net gain r of about 2,000 rooms in five years, e This gain is not adequate to accom- t modate the increased demand. I doubt if even the new hotels now plan- u ned will be sufficient to supply the de- r mands of the greater number of ap- I plicants. a That this fact is appreciated by ho- c tel interests is proved by the exten- r sive preparations being made to fill e ghe sped. Plans are under way for ,the construction of several new hotels e in the up-town district. e One large hotel is to add 2,000 rooms and another will be reconstructed as to contain at least 3,000 rooms. In S addition, besides construction of smaller houses, it is said that a California syndcate is castng about for sites for for several mammoth hotels in the a city. _ tl ABOUT DIGESTION f ' . . .

'J ?' ? u SUBSTITUTING HONEY P FOR SUGAR . ir m Manhattan. Kan., July 19.Kansas bee keepers are solving the high cost ^ of preserving fruit this year by substituting honey for sugar, according to B state bee inspectors who met here for p a two day conference with Dr. J. II. Merrill, assistant entomologist of the Kansas Agricultural experiment sta- ^ tion.. _ While it requires slightly more honey for preserving fruits, bee keepers save money by using the product of bees since the cost of manufacture is almost nothing, the inspectors 0] pointed out. They said thousands of (j( dollars worth of honey from clover and alfalfa fields of the state goes to m waste annually because comparatively ^ few farmers keep bees. aI Si FOR A BILIOUS ATTACK lVi If you have bilious attacks give Chamberlain's Tablets a trial. They are excellent.

In the laying of the comertone of this structure on Oct. 29, 785, James Mercer, the grand master .'dmund Randolph and others of disinction had a prat. In the raising of unds to complete the building, none ras more unwearied than was John larshall. Despite the extreme finanial depression and the biting poverty f the times, the hall was completed i 1787?the year of the Philadelphia onvention that drafted the constituion of the United States. Since that ate, without interruption of a single ear, the wall of the building have choed the ritual of the Masons. Compete records of the lodge from the pening of the hall are preserved in he vault of a Richmond bank. In hese records appears the signature of >aFayette, who was admitted to riembership on one of his visits to tichmond. One of the most notable :atherings in Masons' hall was held n 1907 in honor of Leonard G. Robrts, ihaster of St. John's, Boston, he oldest of American lodges, estabished in 1733. On that occasion, many f the Mansons appeared in colonial ostume. Fires were lighted on the Treat hearths of the lodge.

The work will last for at least two years. ? The members of the expedition are scientists from the University of Stockholm and are under the direction of Even Bergman. They are prepared for a zoological, botanical enthnographical, geological and geographical survey of the whole peninsula. The collections will be donated to the Swedish Geographical Society and be the University of Stockholm. Kamchatka is known to have a rich and varied flora and fauna but it ja comparatively unknown to scientists. The plant life i8 particularly interesting, as it is unusually extensive for the higji latitude and many of the forms belong to regions much farther south. Birds and animals are numerous, and as far as known are similar to those of Alaska. NOT A BAD SORT Paris, July 1.?Many newspaper correspondents in Paris who have had occasion to meet the late Essad Pasha, formerly Provisional President of Albania, who wa smurdered here recently, are inclined to think that he was not such a bad sort as Rustcm Aveni, his youthful assassin seems to think. A French newspaper correspondent who knew him in Saloniki says he was a wonderful poker player. On one occasion the Albanian dictator had lost all ^he available cash ho nappenea to nave witn mm out continued playing: "on honor" and won quite a nice pot but he refused to take it saying: "Keep your money, old man, when I play on paper, I simply play for the sport of it, and it does not cooing. We are quits." DO NOT WANT AMERICAN MACHINES Berlin, July 2.?German manufacturers of adding machines are appealing to the government for assistance in their fight to .prevent the importation of American made machines which they claim now arc superfluous, as the German industry is capable of supplying the home demand. Action has been precipated by the application of a well known American firm through its Berlin branch, for permission to import 1,700 .adding machines to meet the Ger^ffr m until, the American'^rm has comple? ed its local branch factory. The German manufacturers have addressed a joint appeal to the ministry of economics demanding further enforcement of the existing import embargo and requesting that wholesale importation should be prohibited. The Vorwaerts declares that, vrhile the German working man does not desire to be placed under the domination of American capital, the present action by the German makers in undignified and not in keeping with the German efficiency which has always been able to assert itself in the competitive markets even when pitted against American enterprise. 200,000 PRISONERS YET IN RUSSIA London, July 2.?Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, explorer, who has just been here on a mission for the repatriation of the prisoners of war now in Russia, estimates that there are still some 200,000 prisoners of all nationalities in that country and Siberia. Although the lot of prisoners in Siberia and Turkestan was terrible, he said, the Russians were not treating them badly. "Considering the very bad conditions existing in Siberia and other parts,," said Dr. Nansen, ''the men are, practically speaking, very little worse off than the majority of the population." I)r. Nansen said the great difficulty in getting the prisoners home was transportation. He hoped, through the league of nations, to raise a loan among the nations, neutral as well as belligerents, for the purpose of defraying the cost of bringing the men home. ''America has been helping splendidly in this humanitarian work," he said. "Only a short time ago I received a present of $3,000,000 for charitable work among the prisoners, and besides this the American Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. is providing workers and comforts for the men." CROAKER SAILS FOR IRELAND M?...
