all looking as solemn as a Quaker
meeting.
"Good morning. sirs!" said Mister

GIVE CALF SEPARATE STALL
Make 1t Possible to Prevent Spread of Various Diseases Among
 Young Animals.

The best breeders have come to the conclusion that it is highly desirable to provide every newborn calf with separate stall for at least period of four or five weeks Men who have been studying the young calf declare that at the time of it's birth it is likely tc be infected with a variety of germs which are apt to cause trouble.
 By Investigating the contents of the ealf's stomach, in order to determine the kinds of bacteria it contains, number of disease-producing bacteria have been found. If several young sters are kept in a stall together at his early period, the chances are, if one is infected with a certain disease, that all will have the same trouble rEe separate calf stall makes it easy to prevent the spread of these various calf diseases and by keeping calves in separate stalls for four or five weeks the usual time of infection, many of the common ills will be eliminated

CAURNlMG TROUBLE CAUSES
Ordinarily Weather Is Determining Factor, Being Either Too Cold or
 Else Tco Warm.

Chuning troubles are due occasion ally to the feed or to the fact that it has been some months since the cows were fresh. Ordinarily the trouble is caused by the weather; the cream is either too cold or it has been made too warm. Cold weather holds back tie ripening of the cream also, and un- ripe cream makes trouble in the churn The best plan is to keep the cream in warm enough place so it will ripen as it does in summer, and then to churn with the cream at tempera- ture of 60 to 62 degrees. Cream some times makes trouble if the cows do not have plenty of salt.

HARBIN GAY CITY RATHER THAN SINFUL
Reported as Last Outpost Of Sin Found to Be Vain

Harbin. Nov. 17--This city, reputed to be the last outpost of sin, open and .unabashed. has been found to be less wicked than supposed.
 Those morally atrocious but some- times alluring forms of amusement that have given to the world the phrase. "demi- mi-monde," and long since tional halnts in Paris, Vienna, Havana and Buenos Aires. were SUD- posed to have found refuge in Harbin.
 Even Shanghai, known as a mans town and port which rumor has por- trayed as city of lotus and poppy where people do as they please, had been given second place to Harbin in the matter of immoral doings. The {ruth is, neither Shanghai nor Harbin resemble Babylon to any great de- gree. In Shanghai the public is all worked up over the question: Can a cabaret girl be good? In Harbin tho problem is to get cabaret girls.
 TIarbin is a young and foreign town. It is Russian rather than Chinese. It is a mixture of village and metropolis: of crudeness and elegance and of gaudy gaiety and of those stnrdier pursuits common to the Wolfyilles and Main streets of every country. There is no drainage and in wet weather horses lunge through the water dragging doshkies up to the axles. The principal occupation of

By The Associated Press.
 Munich, Nov. 17.-Former Grown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria is stand ing apart from the grave political agitations now shaking Munich, an intensely watchfuI observer, appar- ently waiting suitable opportunity to recover the Kingdom his family ruled for 10 centuries, but it is declared that he does not regard the present as the moment to act.
 He is in seclusion at his villa in Berchtesgaden where he daily receives reports on the situation from Baron von Soden Fraunhofen. Rupprecht recently received in audience some of the heads of the old BaYarian noble houses who waited on him to pledge their fealty anew. and he is reported as saying to them in substance:
 When the Bavarian people want me to be their king I shall be ready but the zero hour has not struck. I am deeply gratified at knowing that the great families of Bavaria who for hundreds of years have been associat- ed with the Wittelsbcahs in governing this country still look to us as the sov- ereign who can bring peace and order out of trouble, and to know also that the mass of our people contrast the present confusion and misery with the justice and happiness of other days.

the shopkeepers here seems to be sit ting down.
 There are many women and girls from the grottos of Moscow and Pe- trograd and from nearer cities who are here to amuse and be amused, but above all to get in this wild, new place livelihood or perhaps small fortune which some day they hope to take back to relatives. But there are plenty of good women, too. The fresh ruddy faces of women lately peasants or the daughters of peas ants abound And like the women of all new towns who have menfolS and children to care for they work hard.
 Even in this mud and in these sordid places where men and women meet to drink and dance and sing as means of escaping reality there is plenty of vanity As much in pro- portion to the feminine population, perhaps, as was to be found at the old French courts. opportunities con sidered. No girl is. too young to manage to obtain lip-stick And many lips here are far too crimson to be the work of wind and sun.

FOOD PRICES HIGH
 IN MASSACHUSETTS
Bay State Pays 16.2 p. C. More {, Than in Other Parts of U. s.

Boston, Nov. 17.-Retail food costs of Massachusetts than in the average city outside of New England, accord ing to an exhaustive study recently completed by Professor R. J. McFall of the Massachusetts Agricultural col lege, the results of which are pub lished today in the Boston Evening Transcript" Wholesale food prices, on the other hand, are only 1.2 per cent higher in Massachusetts than in other states. he reports.
 The additional price margin paid by the Massachusetts consumer amounts, he says, to nearly $75 year for each normal laborer's family, and to some- where between fifty and sixty million dollars year for the whole popu- lation of the state. He planes faulty methods of distribution for most of the spread.
 "In the last decade" he says, the farms of the nation have increased their output by about 16 per cent, al though the number of farmers has fallen off by over 10 per cent. This result is due to greater efficiency in production arising from educational work based upon systematic study of the problems of farming. What has been done for the production of food can be done for it's distribution.
 "'The Massachusetts price of food to the consumer should not be laid to profiteering; it is connected with the of distribution. System atic study of these problems of dis tribution and broad public education policies based thereupon should at least remove our handicap of 16 per cent in retail food costs"
