Hungarian Crown
Is Curious Diadern
and Worth Seeking

London, Nov. 16.-(Correspondence
Of The Associated Press)-The crown
Of Hungary is undoubtedly worth the
struggle made by former Emperor
Charles of Austria Hungary to obtain
it, being one of the most ancient and
most curious of the royal diadems now
In existence.
1t is made up Of two parts. The
first crown was offered by the Pope
to Duke Stephen in the year 1000; the
second was given by the Emperor
Michael to Duke Geisa in 1912
This latter crown bore curious in
scription which spoke Of the Duke as
the King Of the Turks. Duke Geisa
had the two diadems welded together,
the Papal crown forming the lower
part and the byzantine jewel the upper
part.
The dual crown was jeslovsly guard
ed in the royal museum at Budapest.
and was only taken from it's case for
coronation ceremonies. In 1S49. in
the course of the rising, when Kos
suth endeayored to obtain the indie
pendence of his country, he came into
possession of the royal crown, which he
buried at Orsova when he was OBJ
liged to seek safety in flight
The secret, however, was not we'll
kept and the Austrian government fin
ally discovered the crown in it's hiding
place.

employees OFFERED
|. FARM LANDS UNDER
UNIQUE PROVISION
English Agrarian Makes Offer
to Hands Provided They
Pay Own Wages.

London.-(C Correspondence of the
Associated Press)--S. e. Edge, a
scientific farmer, offered some few
weeks ago, to hand over farm land
valued at 100000 to committee Of his
employees without cost, but subject to
the provision that they should ray
their own wages out of the proceeds.
1t is announced that they have de-
clined the offer, and Mr.. edge has ex-
tended it to any reputable labor body.
such as the agricultural workers
unions.
THE purpose Of this offer said
Mr.. Edge, when interview at his Es-
sex farm, ''is to prove to the trade
unions that farming, like every other
industry, will only pay wages that are
earned, unless they are drawn from
capital. Agricultural laborers have
been misled as to the profit farmer
makes from corn-growing or ordinary
agriculture, and it was to teach the
truth that I made this offer.
My employees on my farm. which
have grown in the last two years from
modest 80 arces to some 1000 acres,
have not accepted my offer, knowing
that they will make more money in
wages than they could make out of the
farm.
Il now suggest that one of the
farms should be run on cooperative
scheme in charge Of the workers and
their unions. There would have to be
an agreement that accepted methods Of
good husbandry be observed. 1t would
be possible, Of course, to enjoy several
years of prosperity by taking every
thing possible out Of the land and put
ting nothing back. The farm must be
kept In good order, fences kept up.
bitches drained, land fortified and
buildings maintained.
What / am deeply concerned with is
that the whole of the land of this
country should be farmed at a profit,
so that many more families may be
employed on the land. Tens of thou
sands can be employed on pig breeding,
at present by far the most remunera-
tive side Of agriculture. We have i'm
mense areas of unproductive land. Why
should we not connect unproductive
land with unemployed people, and
make the land produce pigs.

GLACIER ROAD
in TWO YEARS
IS POSSIBLE
Forest Road Appropriation I'm
proves Situation of Con-
Meeting Highway.

Following receipt of the information
that 81, 100000 of forest reserve road
money will be allotted to Montana as a
result of the passage, on November =,
of senate bill 1912, Great Fails men
who have interested themselves in high
way improvements unhesltatinsly say
that a road between Glacier Park sta
ton and Bolton, the missing link N the
National Park o-Park highway has an
excellent chance to be opened to trafflc
not later than 1923.
No State Help Required
It has been announced that this state
would receive 100000 under the new
law in forest reserve road funds and
more recently word has been received
that to this will be added $6OO,OOO for
administrative roads" within the re-
serves. The state highway commission
has been asked to assist in allocating
the 100000 appropriation and the
100000 allotment will be distributed
by the forest service. Both Of these
funds may be expended without par
ticipation by the state in any project
authorized, but the state may give as
sistance if it so desires.
Good roads men say that under the
conditions with the forest road money
may be allocated it may be possible to
have very substantial portion Of the
arpropriation designated for the Gla-
cier- -Belton road and that with the high
way commanding the position it does in
the states program, the project will
probably be carried through during the
snext two years.
Large Timbered Area
According to I. NJ. Keene Of Missou-
la, engineer in charge of the Montana
Idaho district Of the United States bu-
reau of public roads, Montana S large
proportion of the forest road funds is
due to the location within it's borders
Of the greatest reserved timbered area
in any one commonwealth. A siren
uous effort was made by the highway
commission to have the forest reserves
counted as 'unappropriated public
lands" since the percentage Of post
road federal aid depended upon this
classification. The fight was lost, how
ever, and, instead of getting the govern
ment to pay 66 per cent to the states
81 per cent, the government pays %
per cent to the states AZ per cent on
the post roads.
In order to make up for this obvious
turn in favor of the state with greater
unappropriated public domain, the for
est reserve appropriation was provided
and Montana's share is liberal enough
to make up for the disappointment on
the post road matter.

DECENTRALIZATION
MISSES THEATERS
IN SOVIET RUSSIA
Actors, Dancers and Singers
Are Pledged to Keep Out of
Politics by Government.

Petrograd.-(By a Staff Correspond
ent Of the Associated Press )--Petro-
grads government theaters and opera
have been spared the general demor-
alization which has swept Russia,
through the good judgment and organ
izing power of Ivan Vassilievich Elk
skuzovich. Since 1917, he has been
director of the Academic theater and
head of the theatrical organization of
Petrograd. He is professional actor,
but also an architect and mechanical
engineer and has no interest IN party
politics.
When the theatrical organization
elected Ekskuzovich to be its head,
Lunacharsky, the minister of educa-
ton, recognized him as an ideal man to
conserve and continue the theaters
and opera.
Barred From Politics
Actors, dancers and singers pledged
themselves to keep out of politics and
under Eksk5ovich the old organiza-
tions have been held intact.
The Academic theater, on the New
ski Prospekt. together with the dra-
matte, the ballet school and the the
atrical museum and library which adj
join it, stands forth as an untouched
island of old Russia. Glasses run on
as usual in spite of limited food sup
plies and the lack Of fuel.
Davidoff, the veteran comedian who
has been the idol of Russian audiences
for over half century, lectures every
day to the student actors on the ira
ditions of the Russian stage. Barbara
Ivanova Likhosherstova, the directress
of the ballet school, has held the posi-
ton since 1884.
Given American Relief
The American relief administration
is establishing kitchen in the dra
matte school and will provide dinners
for the young people who are in train
ing to be future directors, composers,
singers, actors. dancers and dramatists.
Gregory G. 1ssaienko, who has been
in charge for ;'3 terms, is director of
the boys school.
Many cfto.t, We're made by political
leaders to commander the 10000 cos
tunes owned by the dramatic academy
organization, but Ekskuzovich has
been able to keep the supplies intact,
with the assistance of Lunachafsky and
the dramatic profession has won such
confidence by its abstention from poll
tics that both government and public
will doubtless continue to protect the
organization which has continued its
work with great loyalty to art under
most trying conditions.

Former Navy Secretary
-. Speaks in Shreveport

Shreveport, April 25-''The world
VIII not be stabilized until America
accepts her responsibilities in regard
TO peace as she accepted them in the
war" declared Josephus Daniels, for
mer secretary OF the United States
navy. in an address delivered here
Sunday morning.
The great auditorium OF the First
Methodist church was filled to over
flowing. and hundreds were turned
away because of inability to find
standing room within the edifice. Mr..
Daniels came to Shreveport to speak
in behalf of the great christian edu-
cation movement Of the Southern
Methodist church, and asserted con-
fidently thta, after visiting practically
every state in the south, the move
ment will be mangnificent success
financially and otherwise.
The world war was not born in the
death OF a Balkan prince, said the for
mer secretary, but in the schools OF
Germany, which for years had preach
ed the doctrine that the sword Is
mightier than the spirit. The influence
of this pernicious docrtine has inVad'
ed the schools and college OF America
and must be eradicated; it is to this
end the Methodist Episcopal church
South is preparing to raise the enor
nous sum Of $3S,0OO,OO0, with which
to endow and equip the ninety educa
tional institutions Of that denomlna
tion in the southern states. "The
call now" declared Mr.. Daniels, is to
enlarge and equip these institutions
so that every boy and girl in thu
southland may find education o
heart, education Of hand, and educa
tion of head-the trinity that make
for good citizenship"
