'HIGH PRICES IN
HUNGARY AND
PEOPLE IDLE
r
BUDAPEST, Sept. 28 (by Associated
Press).—“No work and high prices are
making Hungary a trouble center,”
•said Count Etienne Crouy Chanel, who
claims to be the most legitimate can
didate for the throne of Hungary.
“We have upwards of 100,000 work
men who are either without work or
else have to work for 1,000 crowns a
month, the price of a pair of shoes,” he
continued. “Besides them, we have
150,000 government employes left over
from old Hungary whose pay is about
that of the workmen.
^ Then we have about 50,000 army of
ficers who insist that they be paid.
Then there is a large number of land
owners from the provinces given to
Serbia, the Czechs and the Rumanians,
who have no means of livlihood, hav
ing been driven from their lands.
“When these people begin consider
ing their troubles, they turn to the
wealthy Jews as the cause, or else
to the Communists, and therein lies
the origin of the so-called ‘White ter
ror.’
“The immediate solution of these
people is to emigrate but for that they
have no money or else cannot secure
passports. They cannot become far
mers overnight. Even if the govern
ment divided the land they would need
to learn to farm and would need capi
tal to build houses and buy machinery.
The factories cannot start because of
lack of coal and raw materials.”
“Hungary has lost more than any
nation in Europe by the peace treaty.
In addition she has had too costly rev
olutions. It is no wonder our minds
are deranged.
“I would be. a charity if our surplus
educated population was helped to em
igrate to South America or some coun
try where it could start life anew.”

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 27 (by Associ
ated Press).—M. Koeford, a Danish
subject who went to Russia 40 years
ago, became a state councillor under
the old regime and has been arrested
. several times since the revolution, has
just returned to his native country.
“One's first impression ef Moscow
is,” he says, “that all private shops
are closed and only the municipal
stores are open. Nevertheless, illicit
trading flourishes and it is possible to
get practically everything there, even
Havana cigars of the 1919 crop. The
population looks healthy and vigorous
though many people, especially brain
workers, succumbed last winter to pri
vation.
“I do not believe bolshevism has a
future,” M. Koeford went on. “al
though not everything the bolsheviki
do is wrong—their care for the chil
dren is simply magnificent; they are
well fed, well dressed and well edu
cated. Science and art are also en
couraged and the great art collections
are apparently untouched, which is
chiefly due to Maxim Gorky. The man
ufacturing industries have suffered
greatly through so many men being
called up for military service. Every
body has to work for a living now;
the principle is; no work, no food.”
“THE MARRIAGE PRICE”
LAST TIME TONIGHT
“The Marriage Price,” is perhaps
the most attractive and likeable play
in which we have seen Elsie Fergu
son. Her beauty is unquestioned, and
her acting is flawless. Yet at times
the play in which she has been cast
has not afforded the best opportunity
for display of her rare art. In the
character of Helen Tremaine, rich so
ciety girl who suddenly is left desti
tute; who faces insult from supposed
friends, who battles among other wage
earners for very existence, and who
finally marries from gratitude, not
love; there is a wide range covering
every emotio*n. And when the climax
comes, and she recognizes the true
from the false; when love really comes
and she learns its power, then Elsie
Ferguson rises to supreme dramatic
heights, which make this a picture to
be remembered. It is repeated for
the last time tonight at the Empress.
Tomorrow night, Tom Moore, the
debonaire and loveable Tom, in a pic
ture rarely combining pathos and hum
or, comedy and drama, “Heartsease.”

LISBON, Sept. 28 (by Associated
| Press).—Matches have disappeared
! from the market, much to the discom
i
fort of smokers and housewives. Wait
ers and cigar store clerks who are
able to furnish matches have been ex
tremely popular for two weeks.
In view of the high prices here, the
operatives of the Match company de
mand higher wages, and the company
to meet their wishes petitioned the
governmeint for permission to raise
the price of matches. The consent has
not been given and in veiw of the dead
lock the inhabitants of Portugal have
had no matches for about a fort
night, since the stocks in the shops
were exhausted.
When the monopoly of manufacture
was given to the company some years
ago, the public, specially smokers, as
a sign of protest began to use auto
matic flint and gasoline lighters, which
caused a considerable decrease in the
company’s sale and the government at
the company’s request issued a law
forbidding their use, in consequence
of which they were all seized and their
carriers fined.
A recall of this law, however, has
been proposed in Parliament but has
not been acted upon.
In the provinces, fires are kept
alight day and night as the only way
of obtaining light at a momment’s
notice.
“There is so much bad in the best of
us, and so much good in the worst of
us, that it hardly behooves any of us
to speak ill of the rest of us.”
The forest products labratory at
Madison, Wisconsin, has tested out
western hemlock and Sitka spruce for
use as a pulp wood and found that
both species make excellent paper.
NOTICE
There will be a meeting of the Cor
dova Rifle Club on Monday at eight
p. m. in Tom Hubbert’s shop. All rifles
and ammunition have arrived. We
have an indoor location range and
are prepared to go ahead with our
original plans immediately. New mem
bers are wanted, so those interested
be sure to attend.
