Vienna Regaining g

(By Associated Press)

(By Associated Press)
Vienna, June 2s.-Finance and
economics seem to have parted com
panv IN Austria With its money
situation chaotic there is at the same
time a generally acknowledged per
terment Of conditions Of living.
Travellers revisiting Vienna sa.v
they do not recognize the city of a
year ago. The mass Of the people are
better dressed and more plentiful
food is shown in their healthy ap-
pearance. The green and sallow faces
have disappeared and on the whole
the Viennese are nearly back to nor
nal as far as external evidence GOES.
Paris can hardly show a more fash
ionably gowned crowd Of women
than that which turns out for the
ring promenade in the afternoon or
throngs the high-class shopping dis
trict in the mornings.
! The shop display of luxurious
wares Of every description increases
until the Arbeiter Zeitung saws it ex-
ceeds Vienna s best days of before
the war. The same newspaper ad-
mits there is steady progress and
betterment in business and general
conditions.
The famous delicatessen shops are
reopening with almost their old-time
excellence. The windows are filled
with fancy dainties for which the
city was noted, canned stuffs Of the
finest foreign makes are to be bought,
American crackers and biscuits are
common IN the groceries, the candy
shops are restocked and while last
Winter a pounds Of sweets was vir-
tually unprocurable the finest fresh
bonbons now are to be had in any
quantity.
White bread is served in near.v
every restaurant and the bakery WIN
dows again display the famous Vienna
pastries and cakes. In the poorer dis
8,
groceries reflect the same condition.
Turning to finances the current
statement of the Austro- Hungarian
bank speaks for it. There are at
the moment 100000 600 crowns in
circulation and 1000. 900, 900 outstand-
ing treasury notes issued to the banks
for discount. But this cheap money
is plentiful Everyone seems to have
it and to be spending it. Enormous
seem not to have affected the volume
of business. Printing presses are
now turning out round 1000 ,OO0, ,OOJ
crowns a month to meet the govern
.ment expenses. The current budget
shows a deficit of 100000 ,001
crowns The wealth levy has pro
duced thus far about 100000, 900
, crowns, one half Of which was paid
in war bonds, leaving enough cash
; from this source to meet about one

Search Foreign Countries for Para
sites of Crop Pests

Renewed attention is being paid by
the United States Department of
Agriculture to the introduction of So
called friendly inseets-parasites
which destroy serious crop pests
without themselves doing damage to
human interests. Two different ex-
peditions to that end are now in pro-
gress.
Thomas R. Chamberlain, of the Salt
Lake City laboratory for cerela and
forage insect Investigations, is now
en- route to the European parasite
laboratory at Hyeres, southern France
and will study the insect enemies of
the alfalfa weevil for the purpose of
collecting and shipping to Utah and
other infested territories the natural
enemies of this serious pest Prof. H.
F. Wickham, of the Idaho State Uni

appointment from the Office of Truck
search for parasites and other natural
enemies of the Mexican bean beetle,
which is doing serious damage in the
Southeastern States. Prof. Wickham
started from Parral, and will also
work in southern Mexico and in
Gautemaula if opportunity permits.
He is accompanied by Mr.. M. NJ. High,
who will cooperate in this investiga-
tion, and will search also for natural
enemies of the Colorado potato beetle
and of the sweet-potato weevil.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING l!
APPROVED BY HARDING

'The right of farmers to form CO.
operative associations for the market
ing of their products must be grant
ed," says Warren G. Harding, pres
ident of the United States, in his new
book, Our Common Country" just
off the press.
Chapter " is devoted to American
agriculture, and in it the President
frankly discusses marketing, one of
the most important problems that is
before the American people today.
The Hays free press., 1921-09-08

''The concert of agriculture, the
President says, sis as essential to
farmers as a similar concert of action
is TO factories. A prosperous agri-
culture demands not only efficiency in
production, but efficiency in market
ing. Through cooperative associa-
tions the route between the producer
and the consumer can and must be
shortened. Wasteful efforts can and
must be avoided Unnecessary ex-
pense can and must be eliminated. 1t
is to the advantage of all our people
that every possible improvement be
made in our methods of getting the
products of our farms into the hands
of the people who consume them"
Discussing the subject of prOduc-
ton, President Harding says: Gun
less we do deal more fairly with
agriculture) there may come con-
flict between the organized farmers In
the surplus-producing states and
those who insist upon buying their
crops below production costs. We
have witnessed the restricted produc-
tion of manufactures and of labor,
but we have not yet experienced the
Intentionally restricted production of
foodstuffs. Let us hope we never
may. 1t is our business to produce
and conserve, not to deny, deprive or
destroy"
Dealing specifically with the grain
situation, he says: ''The grain-grow-
ers of the West and Northwest have
become strong enough to bring about
many changes they desired in the
marketing of their crops. The farm
ers of the corn belt states are rapidly
perfecting the most powerful organ
ization of farmers ever known in this
country. All of these are natural
developments in the evolving change
of relationship and the modern COM
plexities of productivity and ex-
change"

THE COUNTRY WEEKLY.

The following tribute to the coun-
try weekly. which is going the rounds
of the press of the United States, from
the pen of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, as
sistant secretary of the navy, is clip
ped from the Winona Times:
"When all is said and all is done, IN
this world it is those things which are
mostly associated with us in our ev-
eryday life which have the dominating
influence. 1t is the family which
makes the man or woman, and it is the
community life that makes the nation.
The great dailies of the big centers OF
population of necessity cannot keep
the close personal touch with the ev-
eryday people who form their readers
that it is possible for the country pa
per to keep. The editor of the coun-
try paper knows by all the men and
women of the community to which he
speaks. They all know him and there
fore everything that is printed has a
double significance. The Individual is
apt to distrust the statements of the
big daily, but instinctively he believes
those of his own local paper.
seWith power such as this. there
comes the coincident responsibility.
"The country newspaper has the OPP
portunity Of mixing in every activity
in the community. It can Influence
the attitude Of thought toward all new
movements and impulses that are
growing in the community life. i

problems that are presented to the

BISHOP LAMBUTH.

On September 27, 1921, cablegram
was received at headquarters of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South an
nouncing the death of Bishop Walter
r Lambuth in Yokohama, Japan. fol
lowing an operation at the United
States naval hospital.
In the passing of Bishop Lsmbuth
Southern Methodism not only mourns
a worthy and honored son, but the
news of his death will bring sorrow to
thousands in nearly every quarter of
the globe, for he was world citizen.
Bishop Lambuth was an outstanding
man in his generation and everywhere
was accorded high honor, not only as
prominent churchman, but as a skilled
surgeon, noted author, lecturer and
explorer. He gave practically his
whole life to the service of mankind,
being the messenger of his church in
Africa, China, Cuba, Brazil, Japan,
Korea, Siberia, Belgium, Poland, as
well as in fields nearer home. He was
born in Shangai, China, in 1854, being
the son of James w. and Mary Nc
Clellan Lambuth, pioneer missionaries
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South Bishop Lambuth received "a
broad and liberal education and held
degrees from prominent colleges and
universities in America and Europe.
He received his medical and M. A. de-
grees from Vanderbilt University in
1877 and later graduated from Belle
view hospital medical college, New
York City. He did special work in
surgery in Edinburgh and London. He
was also fellow in the Royal Geo
graphic Society.
In 1877 he was married to Miss
Daisy Kelly and with her sailed to
China under appointment as mission
aries of the Southern Methodist
Church. From that time until the day
of his death he inaugurated and wor-
ked out constructive and far-reaching
missionary programs in every mission
field entered by his church. Probably
his most notable and heroic work was
taking the missionary message to the
heart of Africa, work which involved
tremendous labor, walking for more
than thousand miles over African
trails to open Southern Methodisnl's
first missionary station in Africa.
In 1910 he was elected bishop, the
highest office in the gift of his church.
He was assigned to the Orient as his
episcopal territory and his latest work
was to hold the annual conference OF
the Siberia Manchurian mission, an
undertaking enterprised by him.
