CROPS IN BAVARIA
REPORTED GOOD
Grain Doing Well, Potatoes To
Be Plentiful.

In the absence Of official forecasts.
which are not made at this time. the
following information from reliable
sources may be taken 20 fairly repre-
sent the crop situation in Bavaria,
writes Vice-Consul Frederick j. Schus-
sci. at Munich. Germany, 10 Commerce
Reports
South Of the Danube, in Upper Ba-
varia, the hay crop has been gathered
in, except in a few Alpine districts.
The quantity IS 80 70 so per cent
greater than that of last year. The
quality has suffered slightly in some
districts on account OF excessive rain
fall. Rye and barley hsrvests are
nearly finished. The quantity and
quality OF these are Unexpectedly large
and good. Wheat and oats are doing
very we'll. Beets. fodder vetch and po-
tatoes promise 20 be plentiful.
In Lower Bavaria the gathering in OF
grain is rapidly nearing its end. The
straw crop proved good TO excellent.
Oats lead in grains, promising 70 excel
the average crop during the last ten
years. Barley is expected 20 yield
fairly good results. As 20 wheat, opin-
ion seems divided. and the season may
not produce more than a fair average
harvest. Rye, however, IL the least
promising and in some sections may
Weld very poor results. Taken as a
whole. the crops of 1915 in Lower Ba-
varia will largely excel those Of 1915.
North Of the Danube the hay crop
was very abundant, particularly as to
quantity. The quality. however, was
somewhat affected by excessive rain
fall. The stand Of rye is excellent,
barley is doing very well, and wheat
promises good results, although in GER
tain districts somewhat affected by yell
low rust The oat crop IS likely TO
prove satisfactory beyond expectations.
Beets are also most promising; legumes
very satisfactory. Potatoes upon heavy
soil suffered from the long rainy pc
Rod. but they are expected 20 improve
with more favorable weather. Grummet
and clover are promising. Fodder and
sugar beets promise a record crop. HS:'
has done no damage worth mentioning
In the Palatinate the grain harves-,
which. in the main, is now finished, ex-
ceeded all expectations and may be con-
sidered a record breaker "a 20 both
quality and quantity. The quality OF
the fruit crop has not been equalled in
years

Manhattan Madness" Is
Merry Film Story of
Adventure.
HARVARD CLUB
GETS ITS DUE
Coprophilic Memory and
Where 1t Touches
Charlie Chaplin.
BY HAYWOOD BROUN.

People who think they don't like
moving pictures should see Douglas
Fairbanks in Manhattan Madness" a,
the Rialto Theatre this week. II they
can derive no amusement from this
merry farce melodrama they are correct
in supposing that they are film blind.
From the beginning Fairbanks has
been one Of the most pleasing Of all
Elm stars, and, moreover, he has been
fortunate enough to obtain unusually
good scenarios. Manhattan Madness
is kin to Seven Keys to Baldpate" in
theme. It concerns the adventures Of a
young man from the West who SCOTS
az the dull routine Of New York life I'M
Ill his friends, by way of diversion,
hoax him into a series Of strange and
diverting adventures in 4 lonely man
sion on the outskirts Of the city.
o. Henry once wrote a story on true
romance in which he speculated on
what a young man would do II Rus
sian lady OF marvellous aspect should
rush up 70 him in the street, thrust a
not bun into his hand, snip off one OF
his coat buttons and, whispering
"Parallelogram," dart down a side
street casting glances over her shout
der. The writer decided that the aver
age young man would sheepishly fun
bic at the missing button, drop the hot
bun in the gutter and 20 his way. Doug
las Fairbanks, however, proves himself
supernorma!. and he pursues the
strange adventure which offers itself 10
the uttermost limits OF the last reel
OF course, Fairbanks receives oppor-
tunities 10 belabor villains in MS whole
some, wholesale way. Equally skilled
in jiu-jitsu and pugilism, the hero has
different sort of knockout for every
villain. Moreover, he manages to re-
main heroic even in retreat. Possibly
his best stunt IS a leap from window
TO the branches Of a not 20 nearby tree
By n clever twist the chagrin OF the
hero at being hoaxed IS healed, and, OF
course. he wins the girl.
Not q little Of the success OF the pet
