HUNGARY IS NOW BANKRUPT
Magyar Political Economist Says In

National Production.

DR.. Eide Palyi, in Il recent article
In the Az Est Of Budapest, entitled
Hopeless" makes some startling reve-
latlons In regard to the state finances
or Hungary, according to the New
York Times. Doctor Palyi Is not only

mist, but he Is an ardent supporter of
close economic relations with Germany.
He leads up to the statement that
Hungary Is insolvent by pointing out
that, while the productions Of Hungary
realized In the year before the war
S05O,OOO,OOO, the war had cost the
state up to March /, $5,0O0,0OO, 900, and
that an equal amount would be neces-
sary to llquidnte national expenses ut
the close Of the war-if the end came
soon. Hence, while the whole ma.
lional production has never exceeded

Mngyars refused to entertain the last
war loan, the true figures of which
have never been published. lie pre-.
diets IA revealed catastrophe" with the
llOating of the new war loan.
IF the wage-earners, he declares,
were to pay so per cent income tax
and the farmers so per cent of their
produce in taxes, and the Industrial
products were requlsitioned entirely,
even then the needs Of the state would
not be covered And II the state were
to seize the entire agricultural prod

the producer, $lS,O00,0O0 would still be

has to pay the war loans"

GERANIUMS ORNAMENTAL.

Beds of geranlums are exceedingly
ornamental, provided they are kept
In tidy condition. This can be done by
keeping all flower trusses picked off.
If the faded flowers are allowed to
remain, | know of no plant that can
take on more unsightly, sloyenly
look
OF course all the buds In a truss
do not develop at the same time, and
one does not like TO destroy undevel-
oped flowers, but the clusters can be
made to look clean and attractive by
pulling away from them all flowers
that have passed their prime and
taken on that bedraggled look which
so detracts from the slightly appear
ance of everything else in the bed.
Unless one has great number of
plants, this can be done in short
time.
II will be found much easier than
going over the bed and cutting out all
the faded flowers, as is sometimes adj
vlsed.

ANY OLD CANES7

The American Girls Aid society,
which has devoted itself to the collec-
ton Of clothing and other materials
for French victims Of the European
war, asks that the Scouts endeavor to
collect canes to be used by the MANNED
and crippled soldiers. There is big
demand for canes just at the present
time, and there are undoubtedly thou
sands of canes In the United States
which are not in use. II the Scouts
would collect these and forward them
to the headquarters Of the American
Girls Aid, 293 Fifth avenue, New
York city, they will be appreciated.
II is suggested also that the Scouts
make canes. On their hikes into the
woods and country places they often
come across materials for canes and
can develop artistic ability In making
up this material In serviceable form.

NOTES

Make notes this year to guide you In
next years planting plans. II you see
a flower or shrub you admire, find out
the name and variety il possible.
Keep all the fence corners cleaned
out. More vermin are harbored there
than anywhere else on the place.
Give japanese iris plenty of water
to insure good blooms.
With nearly all plants 1t is neces-
sary to keep the flowers cut to pro-
long the bearing season. This Is es-
pecially true of sweet peas.
Flowers that are not making salts
factory growth may be stimulated into
activity by liquid manure.
For late flowers of gladiolus plant
bulbs not later than July 4. Put in
some tuberoses also.
Always keep on the lookout for pos
sible mosquito breeding places-rain
barrels, upturDed cans, low places In
roof cutters, and liquid manure tubs.
Drain off or apply kerosene.

THE AMATEURS GARDEN.
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN

6y EllZRbe n VAN BEN HUYSEN
Do not begin by planning larger
garden than you can possibly care for.
Gardening is great JOY but 1t entails
much hard work and It should not be
contemplated In light vein, for while
the results are worth all the effort
given to 1t, many back-aches are the
portion Of the young and nexperi-
enced tiller of the soil.
There Is, fortunately, class Of an
nuals which might well be called
'standbys,' the kind which bloom well
under almost any condition. These
are the kind | would advise the anna
teur to work with.
Early sowing of seed enables the
plants to get good root system.
Have large bed of nasturtiums.
They are easy to grow. Petunlas are
also beautiful and easy of culture.
The petunla may be made to renew
itself by going over the bed In Au-
gust and moving Off the top of every
plant.
In n short time new shoots will be
sent up and from these, during the lat
ter part of the summer, you may ex-
pect flowers quite as fine in all re-
spects rs those OF early summer. In
order to keep nasturtiums blooming
throughout the season, do not allow
seed to form.
II Is often advisable with nasturtl-
ums to cut Off good many leaves In
order TO give the flowers chance TO
display themselves
Do not use too much fertilizer In the
cultivation Of this plant, as rich soil
Induces the development of luxurlant
growth rather than the production of
large quantities of flowers.
The garden that is without the an
nual phlox Is missing great oppor-
tunity for the display of beauty This
plant Is one of the very best we have
for massing. 1t is rarely satisfactory
when grown in small quantities or as
n single specimen.
Exquisite in combination are the
soft yellows. pinks and white varieties.
II you are fond Of ribbon gardening
effects, this plant lends itself TO 1t nd
mirably. There are other colors red,
scarlet lilac, all good by themselves
but not effective when used In con-
junction with the more delicate tnts.
Cosmos, were it not for Its late-now-
ering habit, would be one of our most
popular flowers. But unless 1t is pro-
tected, 1t is pretty apt to be injured
by the early frosts If you are willing
to protect It around about September
20, by all means pl"Nt it.
For cutting, these flowers are su.
perb. In the long spell of pleasant |
weather, which so often follows the |
early frosts, 1t Is most desirable ac-
QUESTION to the flower kingdom.
For hedge, there Is nothing more
handsome than zinnias. These grow
to height of three and four feet
they branch freely from the ground
up, and every branch will bear flow
ers by the dozen-large, small and
medlum-and few flowers in the gar.
den will give such combination of
color.
One of the strongest arguments to
urge for the selection of this plant is
Its easy culture. 1t will grow as read
lily as cabbage.
In planting for n hedge, let the
plants stand about Is inches apart.

Boy Scouts OF America)
THERE ARE NO BAD BOYS"

There are no bad boys. We make
this statement confidently, knowing
that 1t will be Endorsed by educators
and all those who have spent theil
lives In working on the boy problem
We will defend 1t in spite of all the
broken windows, stolen oranges and
canned dogs in Christendom.
There are weak boys, boys who lack
resOurcefulness, boys whose ideas OF
right and wrong are distorted, but
there never was boy who did not
naturally-cOnsciously or unconscious
ly-do the things which he believed
to be right.
The trouble comes when parents,
teachers and the others who are re-
sponsble for the youngsters develop
ment fail to All his time with useful
activity. The forces of nature must
operate. we cannot stop them while
we take our afternoon nap. The wind
must blow, the water must flow, and
the boys brain and muscles must
work. We put windmill In the path
of the wind and 1t draws water as Joy
ously as 1t upsets the chairs on the
veranda and whacks the family wash
from the line. We put a water-wheel
In the stream and It grinds the grain
with the energy which 1t would other
wise disslpate In washing out Its
banks and roofing out the trees. These
things we know, yet we too often per-
NIT youthful energy, our most valu-
able asset, to run riot. We even at
tempt to dam It and then complain be-
cause II Stops over and does dam
age.
The program Of the Boy Scouts Of
America Is the mill In the stream of
boyhood. 1t provides something USE
full for every boy to do every minute.
Knot-tying, first-ald and bandaging,
signaling, trailing and tracking, fire
building and extinguishlng, camp cook
Ing, swimming, earning and saving
money, hiking, mapmaking and map
reading, practical study of flowers,
plants and trees, earth and sky are in
cluded In the Scouts program for the
first year. After these n much broad
er field Is opened, including founda-
ton work In every known trade and
profession.
A boys first Idle moment Is the
starting point of whatever trouble he
makes In the world. 1t Is also the
big opportunity Of the man who is
wise enough and patriotic enough to
turn natural energy into constructive
channels. Already 10000 schoolmas-
tiers are directing the activities Of
10000 boys In this country, and the
movement is only five years old.-Re-

After Striking Woman Seeks Safety
81 in FIight-Orth Said to Be An
Ex.German Sailor.

Sheriff H. J. Cummings holds war
rant for the arrest Of Fred Orth, Sec
ton hand on the Illinois Central, who
on Saturday evening struck Mrs. Pat
rick O'Connell in the face, following
a heated discussion Of the war which
they had at the John Rabe home.
Cummings has not been able to appre-
bend the man who made his getaway
shortly after committing the crime.
The officers, however, have learned
that Orth took the Central train at
7:20 for ELS, where it is said he spent
the night at the home of farmer re-
siding near there.
The story of the incident as nearly
as the Review has been able to ascer-
tain is as follows: Mrs. O'Connell went
to the John Rabe home where she
boards, for supper about o'clock. and
in company with Mr. and Mrs. John

APP and it is said that Ortiz made some
slurring remarks against President
Wilson and the American government.
which were resented by Mrs. OCon-
nell. She made the remark to- Ortiz
that if she thought he really meant
what he said she would scatch his eyes
out. and at this, so it is said, Ortiz
struck her blow in the face. Rabe and
Wulf, we understand, pushed Ortiz out
Of the house and locked the door on
him and some time later phoned for
an officer to locate and arrest him. Of
1icers were unable to locate the man
Saturday night, although a careful
search was made in the vicinity Of the

had taken the passenger train north
and had gotten off at Ellis.
Orth has been living in this vicinity
for the past year or more. Last sum-
