You will have to take my word for it My moral squad brings reports of viola- tions, but the evidence is not of such 4 nature as-to hold in court, but we ynow the violations existed.

Then the mayor, addressing Mr. Kugel, sald: “Get your old moral squad bus; Either they ain't doing their duty or they are playing favorite Don't plok out one man for the goat. And Commissioner Butler also spoke: “I don’t know abou‘ this particular appli- cant (Powal), but.

The gist of the situation is that Com- missioner Kugel wants to place himself in the position pf advising the council of certain saloon men who have violated liquor laws this year, and after he has voted no on_theéir applications for 1916 licenses he will feel that it will bd up to the other commissioners to support him or assume the responsibility if such ii- censes are granted. an Tries to Stop Women in Auto What may have been a bold attempt at highway robbéry was reported to the po- lice yesterday by Mrs. Harry H.

She applied the power and escaped. On look- ing back, she saw the man running in the opposite direction. Mrs. Knapp was on the way to the home of her mother, Mrs. C. E. Siesken, 5111 Burt street. Hunt to Command Chicago_Detectives CHICAGO, Dec. 2.—Mayor Thompson late today announced that Nicholas Hunt, formerly an inspector in the po- lice department, would be appointed head of the detective bureau. Hunt will wicceed Captain P, D, O'Brien, recently suspended, but who was reinstated and allowed to resign today. The change is regarded as part of Mayor Thompson's nnounced campalgn to “clean up” Chi- cago. PUBLIC OFFICIALS PRAISED BY LEAVENWORTH CLUB At the regular meeting of the West leavenworth Improvement club Mbnday evening, which was attended by about 100 members of the club, a resolution was adopted commending City Commis- foner Walter 8. Jardine and County Com- missioner Frank Best for the “business- ik manner in which they have taken care of the dulles pertaining to their offices, and for the prompt and careful attention they give to the wishes and needs of the people they were elected to erve Among the important proposals dis- cussed at this meeting were the paving of Leavenworth street from Forty-elghth street west to Elmwood park; the exten- sion of the Saddle creek sewer, the grad- ing of Forty-cighth street from Leaven- worth street to Poppleton avenue, and the grading of Poppleton avenue from Forty-eighth street to Fifty-first street NEGRO EDUCATOR VISITED IN OMAHA LAST SUMMER r Robert T.

If you don't care to cook a very large turkey, fearing that it may be old and tough, invest in two small ones—but, by all means, have enough and to spare. That is, in some respects, the most important of all the points to be observed in the. purchasing of the holi- day fowl"™ In ‘answer to.an Inquiry as to the pros pects for the Christmas crop of turkeys this year, Mr. Lamon said: “The outlook was never better. Re- ports from all sectiona of the country Indicate that this will be a banner win- ter for the American national bird. Thankegiving showed that turkeys were abundant and, in most sections of the United States, comparatively cheap. The price will naturally rise a few cents be- fore Christmas—the result of the Inexor- able law of supply and demand—but, at that, T do not think that it will come near the high mark set in other years. Texas in the Lead. “In the first place, there is a larger crop of turkeys from Texas this year than last. Texas is the best state in the unfon when it comes to turkey ralsing. A good many of the birds also come from Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky. California, too, is breaking into the tur. key game on a large scale, but not so many of its birds are to be found in the cant; Callforvia may some day monopo- lize the turkey trade: they have the habit of doing things very well out there—but at present the center of the Industry remains in the southern United States. ““The annual turkey drive is well on its way by this time, the crest of the first wave having been reached a week before Thanksgiving. The second influx reaches {its high-water mark shortly before Christmas, and the time then recedes until, shortly after February 1, turkeys become scarcer and scarcer. Many persons, whose sole acquaintance with the natfonal bird consists of con- suming it at the table, are unaware of the fact that there are many kinds and varfeties of turkey, not all of then, turkey is the most pepular, and there- fore the one that is most In demand in the eastern markets. Texas raises great numbers of these birds, and thefe are many of them to be found in northern New York and central Nlinos. It is from these turkey centers that the New York and Boston markets are princt pally supplied, the transportation charges rendering it inexpedient to import birds from the Texas or California market. Great Turkey Parades. “Texas, particularly, has been unceas- ing in its efforts to break into the ex- clusive turkey trade of the big cities, |and everything possible has been done ito foster the ralsing of these birds In |the Lone Star state. It was there that ithe ‘turkey trot' originated=—no, 1 don't |mean the dance (that |have started on the San Francisco Bar- bary coast, I belleve)—the turkey trot mean is an annual celebration intended to foster turkey raising. Great turkey {parades are held and prizes awarded to the most valuable birds. The turkeys are sold in large quantities, thousands at a time, right on their feet, and the ‘trots' are becoming more and more oo- casions for rivalry between brecders, and, therefore, assist greatly in the propaga- tion of the better specles. America is the premier turkey country of the world, and it is only. fitting that everything poasible should be done by us to bring this fowl to the highest state of perfec- { tion. Rhode Island’'s Distinction. “The growing of turkeys appears to have improved as a result of a decter mined effort on the part of prodicers of what is known as ‘standard-bred’ or ‘ex- hibition' stock to demonstrate that it is more profitable to use pure breeding stock than the smaller and less vigorous stock of days gone by. It is due to those efforts that the turkey-growing in- dustry of the country has benefited so | materially during the last three decades, for the consumer can bow purchase a far finer bird on the open market than he could have secured from a poultry '{am-ler twenty years ago. “This movement on the part of turkey growers has also supplied mnew, rich vigorous bloed throughout the wh country, adding strengih, and thereby bullding up the stock which had become deteriorated through the carelessness of producers themselv Throughout the country the attention of turkey growers { has been called to the successful produc- tion of market turkeys in the state of Rhode Island.

The bronze | is supposed to | Rupture can get into the body, as there is when they are stuck In the roof of the mouth This method has been more used for chickens than for turkeys, and to prac tice it on the larger fowls requires con- siderable dexterity. “Then, of course, there is the old-fash- foned method of beheading the bird with an axe or hatchet, which has been in use for many years and is still the rule on farms that are not quite up to date. | “But, after all, it is the turkey itself |that matters most. Select a compara- | tively youne bird, within the one-year | limit, well fleshed, tender as to skin and wishbone, cook it well, stuft it to taste, and there will be little left to wish for | after your Christmas dinner.’ !

Another troop train of twenty-elght cars passed through Harmo- sillo early today, and General Obregon, the Carrahza commander, nas ordered sixty cars made ready to Oarry troops south. Admiral Winslow, commander-in- chief of the Pacific fieet, was In cone terence here with General Obregon up to a late hour last night, and the military activity is believed to be the result of Admiral Winslow's inaistance that relief and protection be afforded settlers in the valley. According to reports received by the Ameriean consul here Americans at One tagota have been ordered to leave by Colonel Estrada as he was about to withdraw his troops. A. Z.
