REMEDY FOR BAD CREAM.


The problem Of bad cream. which
all dairy sections of the country are
up against, has existed since the in
PRODUCTION Of the hand separator. The
method Of shippig cream long dis
tancea commenced simultaneously
with the introduction OF the hand sep
arator and has contributed toward az
9rayating the cream problem. Ma
chinery and industrial organization
used in the handling OF cream in
crease tho tendency to contaminate
and consequently deteriorato the
cream. This is true in many Instant
es, and is a trouble that is met with
in the use of milking machines.
A person engaged in dairy work,
who is naturally slovenly in his meth
DDS. milking with dirty hands, etc
will aso be slovenly in handling sep
arator, milking machine and other ap-
paratus, and there is greater chance
for filth to gather in the tubes OF
machinery than on the hands.
The fact is that, in order to pro-
duce dairy products, scrupulous care
should be used with all utensils and
the delivery of cream made as quick
ly as possible to the pace where 1t is
manufactured into butter. When the
dairyman does not exercise proper
care in this respect he is going to be
loser in many ways.
Besides the direct money loss, there
is loss from the smaller demand for
the poor quality. This is larger
and more important item than the
former, but is seldom noticed or com
pretended. Do net be misled by the
fact that cream of questionable
quality can be sold for a price thai
seems good. 1t can be depended upon
that no matter what is paid in some
instances for the bad cream, such
methods are going to hurt the dairy
industry as whole. and the individ-
ual as we'll. This individual is not
not only the dairyman, bu, anyone
living in the State.
The best remedy yet applied to the
Lad cream problem is the paying for
cream according to quality. The
principle Of this method is sound, 'and
actual application shows it to be all
right in practice. Several creameriss
in the State have been paying for
quality, and conditions have been
greatly improved; those who start
with this method find their business
greatly strengthened. 1t takes a lit
tie determination to start paying ac-
cording to quality, but no serious con-
ditions are encountered after the
start is made.

-4GRREN BUG" PEST DOES
NOT SERIOUSLY THREATEN.
Srexas and Oklahoma Grain Growers
Mistake "Oat Aphis" For More
Dangerous Insect.

Washington, ID. c., AIN. 20.-The
fears OF Texas and Oklahoma grain
growers have been aroused by a sup
posed outbreak of the green bug" in
the northern portion of their States.
That most of these feas have been
caused rather by the insect known as
the Oat Aphis, which does not as a
rule work serious injury in the grain
fields over any extensive territory, is
tho conclusion OF specialists that
have recently been sent to the South
by the department of agriculture.
During December complaints came
from the Texas Grain Dealers associ-
alton at Fort Worth, and also from
Oklahoma business men that the
spring grain Aphis, commonly known
as the green bug, was appearing In
enormous numbers in the wheat
fields. An INVESTIGATOR Of the burean
of entomology was propmtly dispatch
ed to northern Texas to study the sit
uation and report thereon. From his
investigations it seems that the In
sect most responsible for the fears
of the grain growers is that known
as the Oat Aphis, and not the spring
grain Aphis.
The Oat Aphis Is found, more es-
pecially among rank growing grain
where It colonies upon the stems and
TO less extent upon the leaves. II

Of either house of Congress to an

When the Senate reorganized in
March last both Senator Gore and
Senator Owen received most import

the Democratic program was referre1 1
to the Senate finance committee of
which Senator Gore was a prominent
member. He was a member of a sub

EURoPE's MOST TAcTFuL MAN
Vlscount knoIIys, the Late King Ed
wards Friend, Has Been Accord
ed That Distinction.

Europe's most "tactful man" is, by
common consent, Viscount Knollys,
first baron Of Caversham, who is now
just seventy-six. For over 40 years he
was private secretary to British roy
atty, the friend and counsellor of
three monarchs, and his recent retire
ment was considered in court circles
to be little less than a calamity. 1t
has been said of him that mo other
nan eve knew SO much or said SO
little" The tribute is deserved, for
Lord Knollys was always a human
sphynx. Shrewd insight, unfailing
tact and courtesy, and the rare abil-
ity to hold his tongue, enabled him to
win and hold the esteem and respect
of not only those he directly served,
but of cabinet ministers, diplomats
and the people at large. Only the re-
porters disliked him, for never q word
were they able to get out of him.
1t vas in 1886 hat Francis Knollys,
then merely a Mr." entered the serv-
ice of royalty as gentleman usher to
Queen Victoria. Two years later he
was appointed private secretary to
the prince of Wales, later King Ed
ward.

WOULD HAVE HAD THE MONEY
shsh's cold-7looded Suggestion to
English Monarch-Why the
Prince Left Whites Club.

An amusing story of particular in.
terest at the moment is told concern
ing the duke of Sutherland by Lord
Sufield in my Memories" When the
shah of Persia visited this country, the
late King Edward, who was then
prince of Wales, told him that the
duke Of Sutherland owned large es-
tates in Scotland, as well as in Eng
land. The shah is alleged to have
said: HE must be very rich. OF
course, when you come to the throne
you will" And here he made an ex-
pressive gesture with his finger across
his throat.
Lord Suffield was on close terms Of
intimacy with the late king, who, al
though he had the reputation of affa-
bility and %geniality, drew very plainly
the limits which guarded his dignity.
On one occasion his late majesty was
leaving Whites club, and began to
light a cigar in a room in which people
did not usually smoke. Some ~oficious
official came up and said so, and the
prince replied, quite pleasantly, that
he was just going. The official retorted,
rather rudely, that the club rules must
be observed, no matter who the men,
Der was, and the prince, without an
other word, left the club, and with
borough owe it's existence to that lit
tie lapse or lack of tact on the part
of one of Whites people.

AS 1T WAS 800 YEARS AGO
Definitely Settled That Women May
Not Practice Law In the Courts
of England.

Women cannot practice law in the
courts of England. This doctrine was
recently affirmed by the court Of ap-
peal which decided against Miss G. M.
Bef5 in a suit which she bad brought
against the Law society and in WHICH
she claimed the right to practice as
a solicitor. The master of the rolls
said that 300 years ago Lord Coke
had expressed the view that women
could not be attorneys, and so far as
this case was concerned, the master
of the rolls said he decided it on the
ground that, at the date of the pass
ing of the solicitors act of 1843, there
was a disability on the part of women
to be attorneys.
The act had not destroyed the pre-
existing disability. He disclaimed any
right to legislate in the matter. No
doubt many women, and in particular
the present applicant, were in educa-
ton, intelligence and competency su-
perior to many candidates who would
come up for examination. But with
that the court had nothing to do.
The lord justices concurred and the
appeal vas dismissed.

BRILLIANT OPENING OF
BEAUTIFUL LINCOLN
CAFE,

The opening of the Lincoln
Cafe on last Thursday even
ing is now a matter of history.
For several weeks past, in
fact since the closing of the
Criterion Theatre, the work of
reconstruction and putting in
shape the third floor at 1740
Vine Street had been eagerly
watched by the pleasure seek
ers of greater Kansas City,
and when the announcement
cards were mailed, reserva-
lions from many of Kansas
City's most exclusive set were
daily received, until upon the
evening of the grand opening
every available table had been
contracted for. A special
representative of the Sun was
on hand at 100 o'clock to wit
ness the most deliberately APP
pointed Cabaret operated for
and owned by Negroes in
America. The natural beauty
OF this large and spacious
room was materially augment
ed by a prOfusion of palms
and cut flowers, which virtu-
ally transformed the Cafe into
a garden fit for a King. A
six-piece Orchestra under the
dictatorship of Milton D..
Vassar, furnished the music.
Mr.. G. 0. Smith, Kansas City's
popular head waiter, who
officiated at the opening of
the Blue Goose and Prince
Henry Cafes, with his regular
crew of twenty-six men from
the Hotel Kupper, uniformed
to the minute, did the serving,
and the service which they
rendered was par excellent.
The two entertainers, Miss
Bessie LaBelle of Omaha,
Neb, and Speedy Smith, sang
a Repertoire of songs and dit
ties that served only to make
one forget the very inclement
weather without and wish for
more. From 200 O'Clock un-
til the wee hours of the morn
ing crowds continued to come
and go and not a hitch nor a
bobble of any description was
In evidence at any time.
The Management of the Lin
coin Cafe is to be congratu-
lated on the kind of service
and entertainment which they
are offering to the pleasure
seeking public. The atmos-
phere from every angle of
this institution inspires the
most wholesome respect and
decorum upon the part of all
who pass within its portals.
The Lincoln is open every
evening in the week and the
cabaret entertainment begins
at 900 p. m.

BREWTY LEADS TO ACCURACY
Form Of old-Fashioned Indictment,
With All lts Jargon Of Law,
lie Out OF Date.

Those who know nothing of the SUI
perstitious awe with which the legal
fraternity regard the forms Of proceed
ure can scarcely appreciate the high
courage required Of the district at
torney of Kings county, New York, to
break with tradition and draw up an
indictment, say, for murder, with the
aid Of only sixty simple words, the
Philadelphia Record remarks. In the
old form the grand jury makes its ac-
cusation briefly enough, but the de-
scription of the felonious act is fear
fully and woefully designed. A long
paragraph freely interluded with cucn
terms as force of arms" and other
phrases from the jargon Of the law.
is required for the mere statement
that the defendant committed an as
sablt with intent to kill.
The old-fashioned indictment de-
scribes the course of the bullet in
about 600 words, stating how the de-
'endant "a certain pistol then and
here charged and loaded with gun
powder and n leaden bullet"-which
is manifestly an untruth. The weap-
on with which the killing is accom-
plished Is not loaded in the presence
of the victim, but is charged with
ready-made cartridges. Nor does it
contain only n leaden bullet, for it
is usually a revolver holding five or
six shots.
This painful striving after accuracy,
which, after all, merely breeds inaccu-
racies and results in appeals for error
and endless retrials, is intolerable in
an age which lays such stress on eff
cheney. We criticise the artisan who
goes through twelve motions in laying
a brick when the feat could be accom-
plished in three or four motions; but
the legal tautologist gets paid proper
tionately to the greatness of his waste
of words.
The sin of ~tautology permeates ev-
cry department of the law, and it is
one of the prime causes of the expen-
siveness and dilatoriness Of litigation.
The reform of legal procedure is prac-
tically in the hands of the courts and
the lawyers themselves.

Korean Marriaues-

Marriages between widows and
bachelors are very much in favor in
Korea because not nearly SO much
money is required from the bridegroom
as in the cast of his marriage with a
young girl. The ~impecunious bride
groom is scorned by the parents of the
girl and he is also unable to pay for
the elaborate wedding ceremonies
which must take place. All of this he
escapes by running on with a widow.
1t happens in Korea, as in other coun-
tries, that the i~mpecunious bachelor
is often more desirable from every
point of view but a mercenary one
than the we'll to do member of the
community. Consequently, the widow
has a way of attaching a handsome
young husband to herself that might
well be envied by the young girl.

Early S~uffrauettO,

Militant-minded women were known
in England before the suffragettes,
n of whom lies in Henry Wis

mond, its builders mother, with her
brass efigy by Torrigiano. She hated
the Turk, and she made, as Camden

rous of her day: ION the condition
that princes of Christendom would
combine themselves and march
against the common enemy, the Turk,
she would most willingly attend them
and be their laundress in camp" That
position of laundress to the Crusaders
would have been an easy one, for it
was the fashion to make vows to
change no underclothing until the
holy sepulcher was regained..

Cameras Barred on Italy's Frontier.

Cameras Barred on Itaiy's Frontier.
The secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs has been informed by his ma
jesty's charge d~'affaires at Rome that
the Italian government has issued reg
ulations prohibiting the use of cam
eras On the whole of the Italian from
tier, where there are positions of mil
itary Importance, and also in places
in the interior of Italy requiring pro-
lection from spies. The position OF
these prohibited districts is always
indicated on posts and placards clear
ly marking the limits of such zones.
Visitors to Italy are therefore
warned that if, after crossing the
Italian frontier, they enter any Of
those zones, they will be liable to have
cameras seized and be subjected to
penal proceedings and fines. Should
a plate or film be found on a visitor
with the negative of a military local
ity of Importance, the consequences
would be still more serious.-London
