81 charges, sc ministers and so
congregations. The conference

RED CROSS RAFFLES UNDER
BAN OF LAW

In number of instances Red
Cross organizations, with no
thought Of violating the law,
have authorized raffles as a
means of collecting Red Cross
funds.
The question of the legality of
these raffles has been raised and
the division office has been as
sured by competent authority
that raffles undoubtedly are lot
teries within the meaning of the
law as enacted in all the states
within the division.
Chapters and their branches
are cautioned therefore not to
authorize the raising of money
by this means.-Northern Divi-

INCORPORATE

A corporation is generally
organized for the purpose of
special gain and independent
government of it's own affairs by
a number of people who desire
to cooperate in their effort to
gain certain definite advantages
agreed upon, and each and every
member is supposed to derive
benefit in proportion to his con-
tribution to the corporation. If
that is the aim and can be car
ried thru, nobody should object
aand much good ought to come
out of it.
However. it is generally adj
mitted that where farm proper
ty is drawn under a town corpo-
ration the farm property is be-
ing taxed for the benefit of the
business part Of the town and is
generally being taxed very much
higher than farm property out
side the town limits, without
getting any compensation for
the extra tax paid, as for fire
protection to be paid for out of
taxes. The farm owner will have
to pay for his own insurance be-
sides paying taxes to help lower
the rate for the business inter-
est of the Incorporated town. 1t
is of course nice for the farmers
when in town to step on side
walks under electric street
lights and it often makes his
own home surroundings appear
dull and cherries compared with
the town, especially when he is
compelled to pay for the other
fellows.
It is likely the time will come
when this town will be some
larger and it might be desirable
to establish an independent gov
eminent and if it can be done
without taxing one for the bene-
fit of another nobody should OBJ
ject. This is not the practice,
however. If / am not mistaken,
a few years ago movement was
afoot to have the legislature re-
lease farm property from incor-
porated towns. | do not remem-

CREP0'S OPENING
ACREAT SUCCESS
West Duluth Merchant Prospers
So Heavily That New To-
cation Is Required.

That good friend of the Rip
saw, Tony Grepo, is making COM
mercial history out there on
Raleigh St., West Duluth, these
important times.
Tony Grepo came to America
many years ago. He located in
West Duluth. A few years ago
he purchased a small mercantile
business at 1904 Raleigh St. By
square dealing. and close atten-
ton to the trade, his business
grew steadily.
Not many weeks ago, the old
fire fend visited one of Tony
Grepo's close neighbors with the
result that his store room was
made impossible. He at once
leased bigger, better and more
attractive quarters a+ s610 Raj
eigh st., where he now serves the
public with a $4,000 stock of
merchandise that contains every
thing worn by men, some things
worn by women and children, as
well as notions, specialties, tobac-
COS candies and Of course the

Rip-saw. Two clerks now are
required to take care of the
trade.
On the evening of December 3,
Tony Grepo had a grand opening
at his new place of business.
People crowded in there by hun
dreds. They listened to music
inspected the stock and mad,
purchases. The place was beai>
tifully lighted and decorated
Cut flowers were used in great
profusion.
The first lady to enter tn
store, Miss Sarah Rainy, was pre-
sented with a beautiful bouquet
that cost $40. The first man to
enter, George YandeQ, got an ex-
ira large cigar. Costly calendar
souvenirs were distributed.
While developing his business
at West Duluth, Tony Grepo took
much time to push the sale of
Liberty bonds with the Croatians.
His personal sale Of War Saving
Stamps and Thrift Stamps
amounted to many hundreds of
dollars. He personally bought
heavily Of bonds and stamps and
contributed to the Red Cross.

MAX ROSENBERG
Gets ARRESTED
Supelior's Underworld King TiIts
Ii Lid and Gets Caught By
City Detective Mead. ..

OOl C1V1O1V, DCC. 1c. -\oPCSlol
to the Rip-saw).-Last week Fri
day, Max Rosenberg was ar
rested in Superior for fitting the
dry lid Max put up bail in the
sum of 5000 and secured release.
For a long time the Superior
police have tried to catch Rosen-
berg and, his employees at the
Cafe America. 1t has been be-
lieved that the law was being
broken but very silly and clev-
erdy.
Only a short time ago, Vir-
ginia Reed, Max Rosenberg's
woman" was arrested for SELL
ing booze at 712 Tower avenue.
She was found guilty and fined
5000.
Max Rosenberg's downfall was
brought about by Detective
Mead. He and his helpers in
vaded the sinful precincts of the
notorious Cafe America. They
took look through the kitchen.
In two coal boxes were found IL
half-pints and two full pints of
! the joy juice. ]. Belisle and Ed
Hubeck, Rosenberg's soft drink
bartenders, were arrested and
then released on bail in the sum
Of 5000 each.
It will be remembered that
Max Rosenberg laid at deaths
door for many days few months
ago as result of being shot in
the arm and side by his partner,
Willie Stevens. The latter was
released on bail and seems to
have faded away. 1t is assumed
that he and Rosenberg adjusted
their difficulties privately.
| Detective Mead made friend
ly visit to Frymiller's cafe at
Ogden avenue and Third st. He
discovered a booze cache in the
bottom of an old settee in the
old bar room. 1t took bail money
in the sum of $1,000 to keep
Frymiller from lying in Jail.
Herman Skate and J. Pecore
were on their way to Duluth by
automobile but the Superior
police found booze in the old
boat. Skate eventually pleaded
guilty and paid fine of $500.
Pecore was released.
Only a short time ago, drug
gist Holmberg was fined $1,000
for freely dispensing booze at his
Tower. avenue place. He now is
charged with another offense and
is under release on $1,000 bail.
1t is likely that the state will
take steps to cancel Holmberg's
license as druggist.
Jim Colt, we'll known in Du-
luth, a former partner of Max
Rosenberg, recently tilted the
dry lid at his soft drink parlor
at the corner Of Third st. and
Grand avenue. He will settle
with the city of Superior in due
course.
During the month of October,
violators Of the dry laws paid
fines in the aggregate of $4,000
into the police department fund.
In November such fines aggrc-
gated $1O,0O6. Superior's blind
piggeries pay the city well.
Now that commissioner Silber-
stein is converted to the progress
sive idea of prohibition, thanks
to Billy Sunday, and since Lahti
has succeeded the impossible Nc
Kercher as chief Of police in Du-
luth, mayor Baxter is hopeful
and dasirious that there be some
real cooperation between the
authorities of the two cities in
the matter of suppressing the
thousand and one violations of
the dry ordinances and laws.
