BOOZE RUNNERS AND
REVENUE MEN FIGHT
Eighteen Revenue Officers Get
Four Autos Loaded With
Booze Near Mercer
One Man Killed.

Eighteen revenue agents stationed
between Woodruff and Mercer, Sat
urday night, stopped four automobile
loads of whiskey enroute to Hurley
from Milwaukee, and in the fight
which ensued John Chaipusio, one of
the proprietors of the Senate Hotel
of Hurley was killed
The agents had been tipped off
that the whiskey was on it's way
from Milwaukee and had been sleuth-
ing between Mercer and Woodruff
since last Tuesday.
The first car was stopped at $3.50
near Pine Lake, sixteen miles south
of Hurley, by means of red light
swung in the middle of the road.
The driver and his companion
jumped from the car and struck off
into the woods. Using this car for
a buffer, the revenue agents placed
it broadside in the road and the Sec
ond car was stopped. John Chaipu-
sio, who was one of the occupants
of this car, was shot four times in
the back of the neck in trying to
escape through the woods. A car go
ing south towards Mercer was halted,
the wounded Chaipusio placed in it
and the agents ordered him taken to
the hospital at Ironwood where he
died Sunday at 4:3O in the afternoon.
The other two cars were wrecked in
trying to escape the revenue agents.
A Mercer garage is repairing one of
the cars.
The occupants of the cars who had
escaped into the woods, returned to
Hurley Sunday morning and are out
on bonds. They are Gus Castagna,
Pete Werlich, and Frank Miley. Virich
had gone to Milwaukee and bought a
new car which was wrecked in going
around a curve in the attempt to
dodge the revenue men.
The cars were confiscated and the
booze taken to Marquette, the head
quarters of the revenue agents.
Sheriff White of Iron county met
two Of the party of revenue men at
Minocqua Sunday afternoon, who an
nounced their readiness to attend
the inquest when called.
A jury examined the body Of Chat
pusio this morning and the inquest
will be held as soon as the district at
torney of Iron county returns from
business trip.
Chaipusio was an Italian, 81 years
old, who had lived in Pence up until
a few years ago when he together
with Tony Barda, bought the Senate
Hotel of Hurley He is survived by
widow and four small children. Ash

MORE PEOPLE READ BOOKS
According 70 Enolisl, Authority, This
10 One o. the RssuIts Of
tho War

There are five times as many peo-
pie In England reading books as there
were before the war, according to Sir
Ernest Williams, one Of the foremost
publishers Of London. He says war
has taught the people there the valpe
Of books, and shown them the Joy Of
reading. When air raids were numer-
Gus and Ill social activities stopped,
there, still remained the inner room,
the light, and books. There was a
quick demand developed for light
reading, but It has changed and grown
% that now the best books are most
in demand. When air raids were ended
and lights and social activities were,
used again, the habit Of reading was
eoatinued and has grown rapidly the
past year.
!, There IL an insistent demand, this
publisher says. for books that deal
with real life. II is his belief that
cut OF the experiences Of war has
been born deeper, Appreciation Of life
and understanding q how tremendous
~ worth living It Is. On this new con-
seriousness he bases the demand for
books that deal sincerely with prob,

Responsibilities.

Thinking of others does not excuse
folks from respecting their own re-
sponsibtlities. The world wouldn't get
along very fast If all our time and
thoughts were given to others. To get
along and have the means to be help
full TO others we must do considerable
for ourselves. Our Job must bring
enough returns to the boss to pay him
for the trouble of b6thering with us.
Our home life touches others and we
must see to it that our coQtact leaves
them happier for the touch. Life is
more than mere routine however much
It may seem to be cast in a one piece
mold. It's our thoughts for others
that lift us out Of the humdrum and
make life worth living. There's no
limit to the enthusiasms of life when
concern for another's welfare gets hold

The new Government promises an

there are many members Of the
Chamber Of Deputies who advise care
in levying new taxes until the peo-
pie have chance to escape from
some of the burdens imposed upon
them by the war. Any measures
which will tend to increase the alb

doomed to defeat.

Points About Selecting Beef for Table

Have you wondered just why sirloin
steaks could be purchased from one
market at 80 cents while another deal
er charged SO cents for the same cut
on that same day? Or why the rump
roast you ordered last week was
juicy and tender while the one which
you ordered yesterday was tough and
stringy, although you paid the same
price per pound for both and pur
chased them from the same dealer?
The fact that sirloin steaks can be
purchased at such variable prices on
the same day does not necessarily
mean that one dealer is underselling
the other on the same article. The
first may be sirloin cut from a COW
or steer of common grade, while che
latter is from a COW or steer of good
or choice grade. The two roasts no
doubt varied just as widely in grade.
AS rule, a dealer habitually carries
the same grade of meat, that best
suited to his class of customers. How
ever, when a dealer does carry more
than one grade of meat, he usually
sells the same cuts from all grades
at the same price. Until the public
learns that grade as well as cut deter
mines the quality of beef and should
oil Lott hA or1t of
grade will be retailed at the same
price with similar cuts of good or
choice grade command, although the
difference in wholesale price is some
times as much as or cents per
pound between medium grade and
common meat. The housewife should
know not only the cuts of meat but
should learn to distinguish between
these grades if she would select her
meat wisely and economically.
How to Tell the Grades
Four grades, choice, good, medium,
and common which cover all dressed
beef usually offered for sale to retail
meat dealers, have been adopted by
the Bureau of Markets, United States
Department of Agriculture. These
grades are determined by the follow
ing points:
1. The color and texture of the lean
meat; and the extent to which it Is
marbled with fat.
2. The thickness of meat covering
the bone; that is the proportion OF
meat to bone.

How the Grounding
Fooled the Crows

On one occasion just about ground
hog day." which, as everybody knows,
falls early in February, an Illinois
farmer heard a flock of crows making
a great fuss in his field near the
woods. The farmer investigated and
found the cause of their disturbance
to be a grounding looking for some
thing to eat. For some reason the
crows resented the appearance of the
little animal, and assailed him on
every side with beaks and claws. As
good luck would have it the ground
hog was near his hole, into which h,
went in hurry.
His sudden disappearance caused
surprise and CONSERVATION among the
crows, and for a time they few
raound wildly. Then they held a
council, with the result that two old
crows flew to the top of rail fence
a few feet away from the burrow, as
sentinels, while the others flew some
distance off.
Ten minutes elapsed, and then the
grounding reappeared Instantly the
sentinels cawed the signal, and the
main army came flying; but the ami
NAL was too quick and lodged into his
home.
The exasperated crows Immediately
fell to work, and in the course of is
minutes plugged up the hole with dirt
and stones. Then they INDUCED in
chorus of exultation, and were having
a joyous time when one old crow gave
a terrible cav of rage.
He had discovered the grounding
sitting on a knoll so feet away, having
emerged from the other end of his
burrow.
Then there was another council of
war, and the farmer expected to see
another attack, but it soon became evil
dent that the crows were disheartened
and after while they rose as one
bird, and with a few faint-hearted
caws, flew TO the woods and disap-
peared, thus acknowledging that the
grounding was smarter than they

at least one-half mile wide entirely
surrounding the area, thus discour-
aging natural spread; "a by strict
and careful hand collection of all
specimens on the outer edge of the
infestation, thus reducing the mum
bers to point where there will be
little or no attempt to cross the bar
rier band; 81 by enforcement Of a
strict quarantine on all crops grown
within the area and marketed outside,
thus eliminating, to the greatest pos
sible extent, the chance for the car
riage of these insects upon said crops
to points outside of the area; co. the
encouragement by educational or any
other means that seem practical of
the practice Of removing plant pro-
ducts in small quantities, especially
during the evening, from the infested
areas to points outside.
The problem of discovering salts
factory artificial measures for it's con-
troll can best be attacked by an in
tensive study of the Japanese beetle
laboratory of the effects of various
insecticidal substances upon the in
sect.
The problem of introducing natural
enemies can best be attacked by
studying the natural enemies of this
insect both here and in it's native
home and thus finding out the ones
that are most likely to be of service.
This should be followed by the intro
duction of such species or parasitic
and predacious enemies as seem likely
to thrive in our climate and to devote
their attention solely to the destruc
ton of the Japanese beetle.
A laboratory for the study of this
insect has been established at CHINA
minson, New Jersey, and this labora-
tory is supported by Federal and State
funds. 1t is under the Bureau of En-
tOmolOgy and the New Jersey State
Department of Agriculture. The
United States Government is expected
to furnish during the coming year
about 100000. and the State about
$4,000 In addition to these funds, it
is expected that certain local, town
ship and county funds will be appro-
priated for the purpose of roadside
clean-ups. Cooperating with this
laboratory is a Farmers Committee,
composed of men who live in the dis
trict, appointed at mass meeting held
some months ago near Cinnaminsor

New Jersey Experts Labor
to Solve Potato Problems
Home Made Bordeaux Mixture Found to be Most
Successful Spray Material

An increase in the yield of potatoes
due to spraying may be the result OF
several factors, two of which are:
Control of fungous diseases.
2-Vine stimulation and invigora.
ton.
The fungous diseases which can he
controlled by spraying, and studies On
vine stimulation have shown that
under some conditions it may become
an important factor.
Covering these two phases of the
spraying problem, the New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station has
tested Bordeaux mixture and sulfur-
arsenical dusts. In addition, several
sold within the State have been used.
The meagre tests of these materials
have not furnished a great deal of
data regarding their relative merits.
A safe rule to follow with respect to
these materials is to adhere to the
printed recommendations of the manu-
facturers.
Homemade Bordeaux mixture has
been the most popular spray material
in the big potato-growing sections of
the world ever since it's efficiency in
the control of late blight was esta5-
lished. Extensive spraying work in
New York and New England has
demonstrated the advisability of it's
use. In Maine and Vermont the in
crease in yield due to spraying even
in years when no blights were present,
has been quite marked. In the ten
years spraying experiments by the
New York Experiment Station, the
average increase due to Bordeaux
spraying at Geneva was 97.5 bushels
per acre for five to seven sprayings
per annum and SO bushels per acre for
but three sprayings. On Long Island,
where the conditions more nearly ap-
proXimate these of New Jersey, the
increase in yield due to spraying was
not so large. An average annual in
crease of 45.7 bushels per acre was
brought about by five to seven sprays
and only 25 bushels per acre from
three applications of spray. These re
suits need not necessarily apply to
New Jersey conditions. On Long is,
land the spraying does not pay every
year. From, our limited experiments
ton in this State it is probable that
spraying would not be commercially
profitable every year. but still prove a
profitable practice for a period Of
years.

3. The amount and character of the
outside fat and it's general distribu-
ton and color.
4. The amount of inside fat, such as
kidney fat on the loin cut and the fat
on the inside of the ribs.
Choice grade beef is not at present
found regularly in most markets, and
the supply is limited. In it the char
acteristics of the good grade are &C.
centuated-pronounced marbling of
fat, smooth, uniform outside cover
ing of clear white fat, and firm fine
textured flesh of light-red color.
Good grade of beef has lean meat of
light or medium-red color, of firm,
even texture and fairly regular dis
tribution of fat through the lean, Civ
ing the meat a slightly marbled or
notified appearance. The fat is firm
and usually creamy white. The
other covering of fat is smooth and
firm and should be evenly distributed
over the loins and ribs.
Medium grade beef has meat Of
coarse texture and dark color which.
is inclined to be fiabby and watery.
The fat is flabby and usually yellow
ish in color and is unevenly distribu-
ted, there being almost no inside fat
and scanty and irregular outside
covering.
Common grade beef has a very high
percentage of bone to meat. The
meat is extremely coarse in. texture
with no marbling of fat; is dark in
color and very watery. The fat, which
is very scanty, is usually of a pro-
rounced yellow color.
The cuts of good grade beef when
compared with cuts of common grade,
are much more palatable, but this
is not all. A series of tests made in
the experimental kitchen of the De-
partment Of Agriculture on the cook
ing quality of the different grades OF
beef shows that the shrinkage in cook
ing is much greater for common grade,
watery meat than from good grade
meat; also, the proportion of bone 70
meat is higher in the common grade,
making the amount of cooked edible
meat obtained from one pound as pur-
chased of common grade meat consid-
erably lower than the amount of good
grade meat of similar cut.
