STANDARDIZATION,
Needs Are Cited.

New York, Aug 11-Failure of pro-
action is the great problem facing the
100000 people of central Europe,
ccording to DIR. A. e. Taylor, chief Of
1rveys of the American Relief admin
'tration, who had just returned to the
Fnited States.
Doctor Taylor, who has made a tour
former enemy countries since the
lgnlng of the armistice, takes an Opti-
listfc view of general conditions, par
icularly the relations Of reconstructed
atoms with the United States. Rus
la, he said, remains inscrutible, be-
ause the future of that nation depends
the Russian peasant.
Summary of Conditions.
General industrial conditions in
entral European nations, he summa-
lied as follows:
POland-In a fairly hopeful condi-
ion despite scarcity of work animals.
Joining harvest promises an excess or
100000 bushels of grains for export.
Production of coal Is increasing.
American cotton being received by
mills.
ROumania-Grain crop being har-
vested very small. Crop of maize also
seems likely to be small. Next year
the nation will resume her place as
an exporter Of wheat. She will be
able to export oil this year.
u
good. Crops excellent. The sugar
crop will yield an exportable surplus
of nearly half million tons. Textile
mills Of Prague now operating on
American cottons
JugO-Slavia-Big crops being har-
vested, which assure a considerable
surplus for export. Serbian railways
being rehabilitated.
Austria-In bad shape. Currency al
most worthless and nation actually
bankrupt. The nation has no coal or
metal resources of importance and
will not be self-supporting agricultur-
ally. VIII be dependent on charity of
the world until new industries can be

Hungary-NatiOn outside Of Buda-
pest is self-sustaining. Conditions in
capital dependent Oh resumption of
control by constructive elements.
Bulgaria-This nation has remained
outside the field of relief, politically,
economically and in every other way,
and no survey has been made of con-
ditiOnS there.
German Conditions Improved.
Germany-COnditions apparently i'm
proving under direction of the new
cabinet.
Finland and East Baltic states
Conditions chaotic In Finland the
causes are largely financial, and in the
east Baltic states the causes are racial
and geographical.
The crux of the situation, In the
opinion of Doctor Taylor, lies in under
production of coal in Europe. The
deficit for the calendar year, he fig
ures, will be more than 150,O00.0OO

MRS. FRANK BENIN.

Bonnie Lyle Thomas, daughter of
William j. and Emma Thomas, was
born near Mondamin, Iowa, on March
8, 1900, and met tragical death by
drowning in Smiths Lake on Sunday,
evening, July 81, 1919, at the age of
10 years, months and 18 days. On
May Z, 1918, she was united in mar
riage with Frank D. Benin, and with
him the last year of her life was spent
in unalloyed happiness. Beside her
parents and her husband, she leaves
to mourn her death, one sister, Mrs.
Frank Motz, of Logan, and four broth
ers, Asa A., of Logan, Reuben R., of
Mondamin, and Lee and William, still
at home.
In character, Bonnie was a young
woman of refined and modest bear
ing, and lovable friend and compan.
ion. Her charming manners and gra.
cious ways won her many loving
friends wherever she went. At the
age of fourteen she became a member
of the Methodist church, and has al.
ways lived consistent Christian life
Her death is mourned by countless
friends, but it is in the bosom of her
immediate family, where she was
idolized by every member, that the
force of this great blow falls most
heavily. In their loss they have the
sympathy of all. AS the prophet Of
old said, "Her sun is gone down while
it is yet day."
Several hundred friends gathered
at the home Of her parents in Clay
township at 10 o'clock on Wednesday
morning, July 3Oth, where the funera
services were conducted under the
grand old trees on the spacious lawn
Her own pastor, the Reverend Mr.
Manning, read the Scripture and LEI
in prayer. The choir from the NJ. E
