TELL HOUSEWIVES
OF CHEAPER MEATS
Lecturers From Department Of
Justice Visit Stores and
Markets.

Lecturers from the Department of
Justice visited markets and stores in
every section Of the city yesterday
and delivered .short talks on the
value of using the forequarter cuts Of
meat. in connection with the Gov
ernment's campaign to save money
on meat"
In the Center Market a lecturer
went from stand to stand talking
with housewives and getting their
vews.
IT would be willing to buy chuck
steak" said one housewife, but
cannot persuade my husband that
chuck is as good as porterhouse. He
wants only good meat. and I believe
he ought to have what he wants since
he earns the money spend"
"But chuck is good meat" oro-
tested the lecturer. T venture to
say your husband would relish chuck
or any other of the cheaper cuts IL
they are prepared properly and served
appetizingly. Do you ever have pot
roast, or meat pie, or goulash?"
Doesn't Like IL stewed.
mo" was the reply, my husband
doesn't care for stewed meat"
She sauntered away. The lecturer
decided that husbands need to look
into the merits of Save money on
meat week." and cooperate In an
economic movement which promises
% benefit the nation in the long
run.
Then a man appeared to buy meat
for the evening meal. He seemed
likely subject to be won over to the
cause.
"Will you purchase a cheaper cut

The butcher spoke up. This lady
is doing nothing to hurt me. This
'ampaign, on the contrary, is aiming
to help both meat dealers and con
sumers."
The mans antagonism cooled as his
argument was fouted. "1'll take 9

Mr.. Hamilton accused Van schaick

described q letter from Van Schaick

Thurston and Mrs. Gerry. in which IL

Hamilton stated that In May, 1917.

"I then moved Mrs. Gerry be elect

agreed upon. However. the complain

Mr.. Poston further argued.

NEWBERRy CASE DELAY
SOUGHT; ATTORNEY ILL

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. January 26.
-Veniremen, defendants witnesses
and a small legal army have arrived
here for the trial, which opens in fed
Senator Truman H. Newberry and 1874
others charged with corruption. con-
spiracy and fraud in the 1918 sena-
torial election.
Possibility of delay in the open
ing of the trial, set for tomorrow,
veloped that Attorney Murnn of de-
fense counsel was confined to his
home with influenza
Attorney Martin W. Littiston, chief
of counsel for the defense, said this
morning that he would request a de-
hope that Mr.. Murfin would be able
by that time TO come to Grand Rap
IDS. 1t had been planned by the de-
fense to leave the selection of jury
to Attorney Murfin.
Another possible source OF delay
developed when defense counsel init
mated they would challenge the en-
tire panel drawn for possible Jury
service. The challenge, it was stated.
would be based on the fact that the
court sent Questionnaires dealing
with their eligibility for jury service
to more than 300 men and excused
many of them without requiring per-
sonaf appearance in court.
Special prosecutor FRANK u. Daley,
who will have charge of the govern
ment's case, announced this morning
that he was ready to proceed. He
stated he would oppose any effort to
delay the opening of the trial With
more than fifty attorneys represent
ing the defendants, he said, he be-
lieved the trial could proceed with
out Attorney Murfin.
Nearly TOO witnesses, II has been es-
timated. will be called by both sides.
and the trial is expected to extend
into March. In an effort to speed up
the proceedings two yenfres consist
ing Of $50 names were drawn, and a
lQuestionnaire circulated by the court
served to eliminate all but 136, who
were ordered to report today.
