HARD TIMES HIT SWISS.
Tourists Spending Their Money
Where Rate Of Exchange In
crease Its Power.

Geneva. Switzerland. July 6,--(By
MaiD Switzerland has reached the
lacute stage OF economic stringency re-
sulting from too-favorable rate OF
Exchange. The tourist season. upon
which she depends to such great ex-
tent. opened with little prospect Of an
improvement In the situation.
Tourists who usually visit Switser-
land during the summer. are going tc
French and Italian resorts.
The Swiss. themselves, to con-
siderable extent, are abandoning their
lown country to spend their outings
lin France where Swiss money counts
for twice its value at home, or in
Italy, where 1t counts Ave times the
normal value.
The crisis shows not only in the alb
sence of tourist trade but in indus
trial stagna ton. good many workers
being already out of employment.
A few weeks ago ii looked as il the
delegations to the second Assembly OF
the League of Nations, September s.
would find difficulty in getting iodg-
ings here. hotel keepers hesitatng to
reserve apartments for them because
it would require them to refuse tour
lists at the height of the season.
1t now appears that the hotels will
welcome the League delegations un-
less there is an unexpectedly radical
change in the travel situation.

command.
Trouble arose last week concerning

1t will be early spring before the
Maryland will join the Atlantic fleet.
Capt. Preston is organizing the crew
which win be composed of about 1.50o
men. There are to be 100 officers. They
are to be trained before the battle

the fact the vessel was named for

The Maryland has the new clipper
bow which has been adopted for the
latest naval vessels. and therefore will
look strange to those who have been
accustomed to seeing warships with
straight lines forward. The object of
the clipper bow is to make more room
for the anchor. - also gives more

W1|lANS, ONCE WEALTHY,
BROKE WHEN He DIED
Former Baltimorean Drew Last
Will az Though He Had
Millions.

Baltimore, July 26.--Whether Wal
ter Winans. noted sportsman and for
nser millionaire. knew he was broke
when his favCrite horse threw him
from a sulky and fractured his neck
while driving in a race in England
short time ago. Is a mystery and al
ways will remain one. John r. SEM
mes counsel for Mr.. Winan's and one
OF the executors of his estate, thinks
Mr.. Winans knew or had a pretty def
mite inkling of the facts, yet he says
that when Mr.. Winans drew his
will last year he drew il in manner
indicating that he still had millions to
dispose of instead of a few thousands.
Just how much the heneficiaries
under the will of Mr.. Winans will
receive is another mystery, but 1T lis
not an insoluble one. 1t is one that
Mr. Semmes will have to unravel, and
he is going to work on that job inn
mediately. In fact, he already has
begun the preliminary work. The job
will be long and tedious one, Tor
Mr.. winans lived in many places in
his time. bought many things. to some
OF which his estate may still hold
title and which may be sold.
Mr.. Winans died before he ever
felt the want of money. 1t has been
said that the loss of his fortune was
due to the Bolshevik rule in Russia.
which wiped out the value of Russian
securities.
Mr.. Semmes thinks he spent his
money He lived like a prince, was
lavish in his expenditures and indulged
himself in the most expensive sports

est time he ever lived in any one place
in his whole life His right hand
never knew what his left hand was
spending, or how or when or where.
When he was thrown out of his
sulky in the race in England, Mr.
Wmans was driving in a big race at
the age of seventy years. He was
taken TO expensive apartments at the
Ritz. although the fortune, estimated
at s10,0oo.0o0, with which he had

REPORT ON STATE
CROPS VERY GOOD
Commissioner Peck of Agriculture
Department Issues Sum-
mary for August.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 12.-Be-
ports received by Commissioner of
Agriculture F. Peck from crop
correspondents in "a of the 50
counties in Tennessee, on crop con
ditions at the close of the month
of August, show that there has been
an improvement in the condition of
corn in all sections of the state,
and also in the condition of pastures,
millet, tobacco, sorghum, sweet pota-
toes, peanuts, young clover and al
falfa. There was a decided improve
ment in practically all crops follow
ing the rains in the latter part of
July and the first part of August,
and during the month just closed
the rains have been pretty well dis
tributed over the state.
According to the estimate of the
condition of the cotton crop as made
by the correspondents, the condition
averages about the same as reported
last month, but there is some report
of damage by hot winds, and the
boil weevil is reported in Shelby
County, and also in Hardin and
some other counties in the cotton
growing section. Temperatures have
been high throughout the cotton
belt. The cotton acreage was re-
duced largely from last year, and as
| indicated in former reports, the pro
| duction in the state will probably
not be much in excess of 100000
bales. U. S. department of agricul-
ture estimates have figured the prob
able production of cotton at from
224,000 to 1850 bales. However,
there was such a decided reduction
! in acreage, it is not improbable that
| the government estimate is too large.
The average condition of the va
rious crops, as based on reports of
| correspondents, follows:
| Cotton, condition " II
Millet, condition, per cent 80
Corn, condition, per cent S5
| Tobacco, condition, per cent "A
