COUNCIL HAS SPAT
Atmn nun TTfinuor
u i riii nan ..iiir. lnr.
Commissioners Hummel and Kugel
Take Issue with Major Orer
Permit to Anton Fowal.
TELLS KUGEL TO GET ON JOB
The habit of considering liquor
license applications In open sessions,
o which the city council Is becoming
addicted, resulted In an exchange of
pointed 'remarks when the council
sat as an excise board yesterday.
The ruction was started when the
application of Anton Powal for a
license at 201 South Ninth street was
considered. Commissioner Kugel
announced that Powal had violated
the liquor laws during the year and
had received a complaint from Mayor
Pahlmsn, who reported that official!
cf the smelter protested because
some of their employe! had been
rendered unfit for work while at this
aioon.
Mayor Dahlman put the vote ud an
nounced the license wu granted, where
upon Commissioner Hummel, who voted
no. Insisted that a regular roll call be
read by the clerk, as the commissioner
wished his vote against the license to
be a matter of record. The roll call vote
rave four votes for the lloenae. Commis
sioners Kugel and Hummel voting no and
Commissioner Jardlne declining to vote.
Take Inane with Marwi
This situation brought a statement
from the mayor, who said he thought
the council had adopted the policy that
nil the rlmmlssloners would vote as a
unit on saloon licenses. Commissioners
Kuri'I and Hummel took Issue with the
mayor and announced they would vote
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 through.

A statement by Commissioner Kugel
was: "I know that certain saloon men
havs violate 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
a nature as - to hold in court, but we
know the violations existed. Tn this
i'owal case they were so bom aa to solicit
business on Sundays on the walk. I
don t want to tell you now to vote, but
I am going to vote against this and
some other applications I am holding, A
saloon man Called at my office the other
day and laughed at me when I told htm
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."
Telia Koarel to Ret Bnay.
Then the mayor, addressing Mr. Kugel,
said: "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 know abou. this particular appli
cant (Powal), but. I knew about other
who have been violating the Jtuor ldwe
and are getting away with It." . ,
Commissioner J ardme expressed the be
lief that the council should support eaos,
other on recomraendatlons, . jje made tbU
statement to Anton Powal: "We are go
ing to have prohibition In thla 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
liquor laws this year, and after , he has
voted no on . their, applications for 1914
licenses be will feel that it will be up to
the other commissioners to support htm
or assume the responsibility If such li
censes are granted.

SOME SIGNS OF TENDERJJESC
"The purchase of a Christmas turkey
ought not to be the gamble that It
sometimes la. Ths selection of a tender,
toothsome bird, old enough to be well
flavored but young enough to be pala
table. Is really a very simple operation
once you know how."
The speaker was a man who prob

breeding and their selection than any

be shortened Into "Uncle Sam e Turkey
Expert."
"The best turkey for borne consump
tion," continued this man, who has
studied turkey raising In all parts of
the country, "Is one about a year old.
If it la too young the meat will taste
'flat'; if it la too old the labor of mas
tication will probably be too hard. As
a general thing a hen turkey Is better
than a 'gobbler', and care must be ex
ercised to Insure tenderness by feeling
of the flesh and lifting up the wing to
eee whether the skin breaks easily. The
older a bird the tougher the skin.
The Point of a Turkey.
'.'Then, too, the pospectlve buyer should
see that the turkey Is well fleshed across
the loins or thighs. The average buyer
looks at the breast of a turkey and lets
It go at that. The thighs are a much
better criterion. If the bird Is well fleshed
there, it is almost a certainty that It
will prove abundantly supplied with
meat on the breast, and the contrary
la not always the rule. Consideration of
these two points age and the degree of
flesh will insure to the purlhaser the
maximum of return for the money In
vested, and will make the principal part
of the Christmas dinner a feast for an
epicure,
"There Is one more point that T ought
to emphasise: Do not select too small
a turkey for the number of persons you
expect to feed. 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 sections of the country
Indicate that thla will be a banner win
ter for the American national bird.
Thanksgiving showed that turkeya 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, I do not think that it will come
near the high mark set In other years.
Texas ta the Lead.
"In the first place, there Is a larger
crop of turkeys from Texas this year
than last. Texas Is the beet state In the
union when It comes to turkey raising.
A good many of ths 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
eastr - California may some- day monopo
lise 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 la well on Its
way by this time, the crest of the first
wave having been reached a week before
Thanksgiving. The second Influx reachea
Its high-water mark shortly before
Christmas, and the time then recedea
until, shortly after February 1, turkeya
become scarcer and scarcer.
Many persons, whose sole acquaintance
with the national bird consists of con
suming It at the table, are unaware ol
the fact that, there are many kinds and
varieties of turkey, not all of then,
suited for home consumption. The bronte
turkey Is the most popular, and there
fore the one that la most tn demand in
the eastern markets. Texas raises great
numbers of these birds, and there are
many of them to be found In northern
New York and central Illinois. 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 Tarkey Parafss.
"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
to foster the raising of these blrde In
the Lone Star state. It ' was there that
the 'turkey trot' originated no, I don't
mean the dance (that Is supposed to
have started on the San Francisco Bar
bery coast, I believe) the turkey trot
I mean ta an annual celebration Intended
to foater turkey raising. Great turkey
parades are held and prises awarded to
the most valuable birds. The turkeys
are sold tn large quantities, thousands
at a time, right on their feet, and the
trotsi' are becoming more and more oc
casions for rivalry between breeders, and.
therefore, assist greatly in the propaga
tion of the better species. America is
the premier turkey country of the world,
and It Is only, fitting that everything
possible should be done by us to bring
thla fowl to the highest state of perfec
tion. Rhode Island's Dlatlartloa.
"The growing of turkeys appears to
have Improved as a result of a deter
mined effort on the part of producers of
what ia known aa 'atandard-bred' or 'ex
hibition' stock to demonstrate that It la
mors profitable to use pure breeding
stock thsn ths smaller and less vigorous
stock of days gone by. It is due to
those efforts thst the turkey-growing in
dustry of the country has benefited ao
materially during the last three decades,
for the consumer can . now . purchase a
far finer bird on the open market than
he couhl have secured from a poultry
fancier twenty years ago.
"Thla movement on the part of turkey
growers has also supplied new, rich,
vigorous bloed throughout the hclu
country, adding strength, and thereby
building up the stock which had become
deteriorated through the carelessness ot
producers themselves. Throughout the
country the attention of turkey growers
has been called to the sucoeasful produc
tion of market turkeys In the state of
Rhode Island. Unquestionably some of
the best market turkeys produced In the
world have born sent out of this state,
but even there, a number of years ago,
the srt was In danger of being lost
through careless ' handling of breeding
tock. Other states may claim the title
of 'cradle of liberty and the birthplace
of presidents,' but to Khode Inland be
longs the name of 'saver of the turkey,'
for It was Khode island that fostered the
breeding of these birds at a time when
other states were paying them scant at
tention. A Proflt-Pradaelasj Itlrd.
"Too few poultry producers realise that
the turkey stands at the very top of the
list ot profit-producing birds. The (act
that turkeys will, from the time they
arc six weeks old until winter sets In,
gain the grester part of their living from
bug, grasshoppers and waste grain that
they pick up In their wandering over the
range, assures their existence through
this period at little or no cost to the
grower. In other words, they may be
termed self-sustaining foragers, desiring
only sufficient range In order to fatten
and grow strong.
"Comparatively few persons, partleu
methoda in general use. The most popu
larly among the city-bred, are familiar
with the methods employed In killing
a turkey. On farms where turkey raising
has become a fine art there are two
lar of these Is to suspend the fowl by the
shanks, hesd down, and cut or stick It
In the roof of the mouth with a knife
made especially for this purpose. This
severs the arteries and outs Into the
brain, causing Insensibility ami a free
flow of blood from the mouth.
"The other plan la to break the neck
by a quick Jerk or twist backwsrd. When
the neck Is completely disjointed the head
Is pulled away so as to form sn open
snece In the neck, where the blond may
settle. This plan aa been but little fol
lowed, though the claim has been made
that when so killed fowls keep longer,
because there Is no opening by which air
can got Into the body, aa there Is when
they are atuck In the roof of the mouth.
.This method has been more used for
chickens than for turkeys, snd to prac
tice It on the larger fowls requires con
siderable dexterity.
. "Then, of course, there Is the old-fashioned
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 la the turkey itself
that matters most. Select a compara
tively young bird, within the one-year
limit, well fleshed, tender ss to skin and
wishbone, cook it well, stuff It to taste,
and there will be little left to wish for
after your Christmas dinner."
