NEGOATING FOR
NEWSPRINT IN CANADA

Fort Scott, Kan, July 19.-George
w. Marble, editor Of the Fort Scott
Tribune, has been in Canada on mis-
sion for Kansas newspapers in an eff
fort to nike 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 manu-
facturers. Referring to his visit at
this mill, in Ottawa, Ontario, he
writes:
"I had conference with the assist
ant 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 publish
ers Of small papers we found in the
head ofs>as Of other larger paper pro-
ducers. Our plan, he said, was abso-
lutely the best practical way of pro-
tecting the smaller papers"

SCIENTIFIC SURVEY
TO BE MADE

Yokohama, June 22.-An expedition
fitted out by the Swedish Society of
Anthropology and Geography of
Stockholm, has left Yokohama to
make scientific survey of the penin-
sula of Kamchatka. 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 direc-
ton Of Even Bergman. They are pre-
pared for q geological, botanical en-
typographical, geological and geogra-
phical survey of the whole peninsula.
The collections will be donated to the
Swedish Geographical Society and to
the University of Stockholm.
Kamchatka is known to have a rich
and varied flora and fauna but it is
comparatively unknown to scientists.
The plant life is particularly inter-
esting, as it is unusually extensive for
the high latitude and many of the
forms belong to regions much farther
south. Birds and animals are numer-
Gus, and as far as known are similar
to those of Alaska.

ing at Baguio, the summer capital Of
the Philippines and officials of the In
sular government hoped to complete
the preliminary negotiations with him
for taking control Of Baguan, SO that
the matter might be presented to
Washington for final adjustment in a
short time.
The island of Baguan is said to be
the clearing house for ring
which smuggles large quantities Of
opium into the islands of the Sulu ar
chipelago, as well as into the island of
Mindanao. Officials believe this
opium traffic can be broken up when
Baguan is brought under control Of
the Philippine government.

SUBSTITUTING HONEY
FOR SUGAR

Manhattan, Kan, July 19.Kansas
bee keepers are solving the high cost
of preserving fruit this year by sub
stituting honey for sugar, according to
state bee inspectors who met here for
a two day conference with DR.. J. H.
Merrill, assistant entomologist of the
Kansas Agricultural experiment sta
tion.
While it requires slightly more
honey for preserving fruits, bee keep
ers save money by using the product
of bees since the cost of manufacture
is almost nothing, the inspectors
pointed out. They said thousands of
dollars worth of honey from clover
and alfalfa fields of the state goes to
waste annually because comparatively
few farmers keep bees.

OLDEST MASONIC HALL
IN CONTINUOUS USE

Down on Franklin street, between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth, Is one OF
the most famous shrines Of American
Free Nasonry-the oldest Masons'
hall in continuous use in the United
States. In the laying of the corner
stone of this structure on Oct. 20,
1875, James Mercer, the grand master
Edmund Randolph and others OF dis
tinction had a prat. In the raising OF
funds to complete the building, none
was more unwearied than was John
Marshall. Despite the extreme finan-
cial depression and the biting poverty
of the times, the hall was completed
in 1787-the year of the Philadelphia
convention that drafted the constitu-
ton of the United States. Since that
date, without interruption Of single
year, the wall of the building have
echoed the ritual of the Masons. Com
plete records of the lodge from the
opening of the hall are preserved in
the vault Of a Richmond bank. In
these records appears the signature OF
Lafayette, who was admitted to
membership on one of his visits to
Richmond. One of the most notable
gatherings in Nasons' hall was held
in 1907 in honor of Leonard G. Rob-
erts, master of st. Johns, Boston,
the oldest of American lodges, estab-
lished in 1888. On that occasion, many
of the Mansions appeared in colonial
costume. Fires were lighted on the
great hearths of the lodge. One OF
the old rlatters formerly used at
Masonic suppers was brought down
from the Valentinue Museum and
was adorned with G fat 'possum pre-
pared by Ben P. Owen, Judge d. &.

RENEW NEGOTIATIONS
FOR CONTROL BAGUAN

Manila, P. l., June 24.-The Phil

Baguan, only 80 miles northeast of
British North Borneo in theSulu Sea.
Baguan, although part ofthe Phil
ippine group ceded by Spain to the
UnitedStates in the treaty of Paris,
has remained under the control of the
British North Borneo government, be-
cause of the proximity Of that island.
Baguan is also known as Turtle
Island on account of the great number
of turtles there, is inhabited by Moros,

DO NOT WANT
AMERICAN MACHINES

Berlin, July 2.-German manufac-
turers of adding machines are appeal
ing to the government for assistance
in their fight to prevent the importa-
tion of American made machines
which they claim now arc superfiuous,
as the German industry is capable of
supplying the home demand.
Action has been precipated by the
application of well known American
firm through its Berlin branch for per-
mission to import 1,700 adding ma
chimes to meet the German demand
until the American firm has complet-
ed it's local branch factory.
The German manufacturers have
addressed joint appeal to the minis
try of economics demanding further
Enforcement of the existing import
embargo and requesting that whole
sale importation should be prohibited.
The Vorwaerts declares that, while
the German working man does not
desire to be placed under the domina-
ton of American capital, the present
action by the German makers IL un-
dignified and not in keeping with the
German efficiency which has always
been able to assert itself in the COM
petitive markets even when pitted
against American enterprise.

not such bad sort as Rustem Aveni,
his youthful assassin seems to think.

who knew him in Saloniki says he was
a wonderful poker player.
On one occasion the Albanian dicta-
tor had lost all the available cash he
happened to have with him but con-

SAVED $4,000. 900 CROWNS
FOR AMERICANS

Budapest, June 2S.-U. Grant
Smith, the American High Commits
sioner in Bupdaest, has succeeded in
saving about $4,000, 900 crowns to Am
orleans who recently opened accounts
for trading purposes.
The Hungarian government in
March issued a decree requiring the
stamping of notes of the Austro Hun
gariaR bank circulating in Hungary, to
relieve its financial embarrassment
and ordered one half of the money pre-
sented for stamping to be withdrawn
and converted into a compulsory state
loan. Some of the bankers saw good
opportunity of loading their inevitable
losses on the shoulders of their Am
erican 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 Am
erican 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
other half the depositors were in sew
eral cases notified they had partici-
pated in a compulsory Hungarian
state loan, the bonds of which were
non-transferable and non-negotiable
but valid for the payment of taxes.
The scheme was frustrated by the
intervention of Mf. Grant Smith, who
made representations to the Hungari-
an government that no money trans
action of the 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 bank
ers were outwitted. This incident, as
Mr.. Grant Smith remarked answers
the question: Does efficient diplomatic
service pay
