BARTER TRADE
IN AUSTRIA IS
OLD REMINDER
I
VIENNA August S— Only Amer-
icans of a generation ago who
traded farm products at the cross-
roads store for everything from
shoes to sugar can realize the ex-
tent of barter in Austria today
With the country flooded with !
cheap money the peasants’ stock-ja'
s fa with
for a compulsory levy on fortunes:
the paper crown virtually Is spurn-
ed by those who pioduce the
necessities of life
For eggs or butter cheese or
white flour fat greese and ducks
pork products and all the things
that the Austrian city dwellei
must do ithout the peasant wants
something more xalmtble than the
paper constantly turned out by the!
Austio-Hungarian Bank
Prodigious offers of crowns fail
where a linen ehirt silk stockings!
a- J J V I
(even much darned) rugs musi
cal instruments Bhoes and such
things bring results The stoiy of
how the bourgeois and poor nobility
of Vienna have parted with the
wardrobes and furntnre their
pianos and carpets for food has
been often told Now everyone is
getting back to first principles in
trade
Visiting a retired officer in his
little country place the correspon-
dent saw t work The officer
could not pay 500 crowns a pair
for gloves for a wife and three
daughters But he had three roe-
buck hides from animals he had
Bhot this season He exchanged
them for two dressed hides The
village glover made them Into
gloves taking in payment cider
mutton and some veal from the
little farm
Then came the proulem of
stockings almost unpurchasable
In Austria Thers were 11 sheep
grasing on the place Sheared they
yielded enough wool to exchange
for yarn sufficient to knit the
' family hosiery for the coming win-
ter The apple crop of this tiny es-
tate has been mortgaged for gram
to a neighbor who has no fruit
and the miller will take his pay
In toll The host who entertained
in the little cottage now his home
filled with American and English
periodicals once trod the quarter
deck of his own cruiser A uni-
form stripped of ornaments and
recut in civilian style is his best
suit

Ball Club from the
Lone Star State Is
Here for 3 Days
Good evening The latest from
baildom is that Gunter Texas will
be here Friday Saturday and Sun-
day for a three-game series
Be it remembered that this is
the club which Ada had such a
struggle with while down in the
Ione Star state Ada played them
three games the first resulting
in favor of Gunter with a score
of 1 to 0 The second game
went to Ada with a total of e toO
and the third resulted in a tie
game same going thirteen innings
and was called off on account of
darkness
Everyone knows that Texas has
produced several good players
They are still contending that they
are the best in the world Of
course the people of this state are
readily admitting that Gunter is
a good team They have real ball
players and this argument can ' be
furthered a little more and read
like this: Ada Oklahoma the Dou-
ble A City has a ball team or
rather a ball club Hugo Chand-
ler Allen and the rest of amatuer
teams admit this
Here is the question: Two real
ball clubs are to meet at the Fair
Grounds park tomorrow (Friday)
Saturday and Sunday They are
evenly honored with victories
their teams are re-lnforced with
the best players that can be se-
cured The result is to be real
bail games for three days
