Commissioners mayor and announced they their individual convictions. Commissioner Butler thereupon offered a resolution, that thereafter all excise meetings be held in the open and that executive sessions be no more, The reso- lution went throungh. Saloon Ma at Kugel. A statement by Commissioner Kugel was: "I know that certain saloon men have violated the law during this year, but I can not always prove it to you. You will have to take my wdrd for it My moral squad brings reports of viola- tions, but the evidence is not of such nature as‘to hold in court, but we now the violations existed. In this »owal case they were 80 bold as to solicit business on Sundeys on the walk. I don't want to tell you how to vote, but I am going to vote against this and some other applications I am holding, A saloon man ealled at my office the other day and laughed at me when I told him he would have to obey the law this year or his license would not be renewed. I don’t know where he got his assurance.” Tells Kugel to Get Busy. Then the mayor, addressing Mr. Kugel, sald: “Get your old moral squad busy. Either they ain't doing their duty or they are playing favorites. Don't plok out one man for the goat. And Commissioner Butler also spoke: “I don’t kmow abou. this particular appli- cant (Powal), but. I know about others who have been violating the Ilguor laws #nd are getting away with it.”* i Commissioner Jardine expressed. the heé- llef that the council should support each other on recommendations, - He made this statement to Anton Powal: “We are go- ing to have prohibition in this state if you saloon men do not behave.” 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 [y liquor laws this year, and after he has voted no on_thélr applications for 1916 licenses he will feel that it will ba up to the other commissioners to support him or assume the responsibllity if such li- 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.

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 seetions 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. | Texa the Lead. “In the first place, there is a larger | crop of turkeys from Texas this year | than last. Texas s the best state in the | union 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 eant; Callfornia 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 Thanksglving. 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 national bird consists of con- | suming it at the table, are unaware of the fact that there are many kinds and varloties of turkey, mot all of then | suited for home consumption. The bronze | turkey is the most popular, 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 eentral Nlinols. It is from these turkey centers that the New York and Boston markets are princi- pally supplied, the transportation charges rendering it inexpedient to import birds from the Texas or California market. Great Turkey Para “Texas, particularly, has been unceas- ing in fts efforts to break into the ex- clusive turkey trade of the big citles, | and everything possible has been done {to foster the raising of these birde in the Lone Star state.

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 breeders, and, therefore, assist greatly in the propaga- tion of the better species.
