PEOPLE AWAIT BULLETINS
Patient Not Inclined to Garry
Out the Orders of His
Physicians. y
INSISTS UPON AUDIENCES

Berlin, Nov 2l.-(By Wireless to
Sayville. "A Vienna dispatch, says
the Overseas News Agency, reports
that the condition of Emperor Fran
els Joseph became worse today. His
temperature increased this afternoon
London, Nov. 21.-A Geneva dis
patch, forwarded to Reuters by way
of Amsterdam, quotes the Katolische
Zeitung as saying the sacrament was
administered to Emperor Francis Jo-
seph on Saturday.
Vienna, Nov 20.-(Via London,
Nov. 21.)-The keenest interest and
the greatest sympathy marks the at
tention of the population of the mon
archy to the health of Emperor Fran
els Joseph. The daily bulletins are
,anxiously awaited by all, notwith-
standing the fact that their contents
are feassuring.
The illness of the emperor thus far
has demonstrated that the aged man
is still vigorous, despite his many
years, a fact which The Associated
Press learns from the best sources, is
not making easy the labors of his
physicians. The patient is not in
clined to carry out the orders laid
down for him, insisting, for instance,
on giving daily audiences, some OF
them lasting an hour. Yesterday Pre-
mier Won Koerber was with the en-
peror an hour.
Thus far the rises in the tempera-
ture of the emperor have not been
great or sudden enough to cause ap-
prehension. The normal heart func-
tions also reassure the people.

COOPERATIVE PLAN
OF SALE EXPLAINED
University of Nebraska Man
Tells How Farmers Made
Money in Potato Market,
TALKS BEFORE GRAIN MEN

How the College of Agriculture, Of
the University of Nebraska cooper.
ated with the office of markets of the
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. C., and made a quarter of a
million dollars on potatoes for the
farmers of three counties in north
ern Nebraska, was told yesterday
afternoon by Professor H. c. Filley
before the convention of the Nebras.
ka Farmers Cooperative Grain and
Live Stock association IN session al
the Hotel Rome.
Professor Fjlley said the two de
partments were ready to do similar
work for the grain men. -..,.. -a,--4
1t was at the request of the thres
county agents of these northern
counties that this system was worked
out in regard to potatoes a shor'
time ago. Professor Filley said po
tatoes there had been selling for e.
cents a bushel until this cooperative
marketing was organized.
THE price of potatoes to the farm.
ers then jumped from 65 cents to g.
cents in three weeks, and all this
time the wholesale price in Omaha
and Kansas City did not advance
above $l.l0."
Consumer Not Overcharged.
This fact, said the professor, shows
that it is possible by means of CO.
operative marketing for the farmers
to get more for their produce, with
out necessarily raising the price tc
the consumers in the big markets
This experiment was made in the
marketing of about 100000 bushel:
70 potatoes.
Professor Filley also made a pie;
for better system of bookkeeping
for the farmers. He said the fedora
Office of markets has worked out ar
effective system Of cost-fnding ane
cost-accounting for farmers, and tina
this is being extensively used in Kan
sas and Minnesota. Next spring, h,
said, the University of Nebraska will
institute course in this cost ac
counting system, SO that those who
care to take advantage Of it ma,
learn something of it here in thu
state.

CRAIOVA TAKEN
BY THE GERMANS
Capita lof Wallachia An
b nounced by Berlin War
Office Statement.
BLOW TO R0UMANIANS

Berlin, Nov. 2l.-(By Wireless to
Sayville. 1.-The capture of Craiova,
in western Wallachia. by German
troops was announced by the war Of
fee in an official statement this eve
ming. Regarding the fighting in north
ern France the evening statement re-
ported a thick fog in the Somme dis
trict, with lessening of activities
along this front. 81
The capture by General Won Fal-
kenhayn's forces Of the town OF
Craiova apparently clinches the Aus
o-German hold upon large section
OF western Wallachia and probably
means the cutting off of important
Roumanian forces from their line Of
retreat by railroad.
Craiova lies on the main line be-
tween Orsova and Bucharest, about
120 miles west of the capital. The
Roumanian army retreating in the
jul valley was falling back toward
this town and was reported in the
Petrograd official statement of Tues
day to have reached the region of
Filliash, about forty miles northwest
of Craiova.
If General Won Falkenhayn's troops
have beaten it to Craiova, as seems
probable, its railway line of retreat
thus is severed Likewise it would
appear that the Roumanian force
which has been operating in the Or
sova region was seriously imperiled, if
not cut off by this new Teutonic sue
cess. .aH
Craiova before the war had pop
ulation of nearly $4,000 and was an
active center of Roumanian trade,

HEALTH OF PRISONERS
IN THE STATE PRISON

THE present state of health among
the prisoners is excellent, and the san
itary conditions are as good as can
possibly be expected" states A. P.
Head, NJ. D.. physician at the Maine
States prison at Thomaston, in his
annual report which was filed with
the Governor and Council Wednesday.
DR.. Head further says in his report:
The only severe sickness involving a
period during the year was an attack
of la grippe which prevailed during
the months of February and March
and which in one form or another at
tackled rs per cent of the male portion
of the prisoners. AS a rule the attacks
were of mild nature and yielded
readily to treatment. Tonsilitis and
bronchitis were the most frequent
complications Broncho pneumonia
was present in two elderly men, both
Of whom made good recoveries.
Since the subsistence from the above
named acute disease the amount OF
real sickness has been small and there
has been none of a severe nature. The
number OF days actually lost from
work by any member, and by all men,
bers combined, have been so small
that 1 do not consider it necessary for
me to compile them in this report.
with one exception all the chronic
invalids found in the hospital or else
where ircapacitated for labor have
completely recovered their health and
returned to work. A few unavoid-
able surgical accidents of minor char
acter have received prompt and Off

one perineal section and some 10 or
a dozen primary operations have been
performed with perfect results"
