CHOICE BEEF FOR DEBORAH
DEBORAH Butchers Buy SO Head Fat
Cattle From Aase Haugen Home.

Last week Holmberg & Erickson,
East Water street butchers, bought
90 head of as fine beef cattle that
were ever offered over the blocks
here. The cattle We're raised on the
Aase Haugen Old Peoples farm. The
lot contained five heifers and the
balance steers.
They ranged in age from a year
and half to two years, and had
been corn fed since January first,
cleaning up two and half car loads
of corn. Previous to that they had
been fed on corn sifiage.
The animals average 1000 pounds
each, and were in prime condition.
We don't know exactly what the So
head cost the butchers but we pre-
sumo it was in the neighborhood of
$4,000. The animals were all fat
and prime. Six head were dressed
last week and no choicer looking
beef was ever seen here, and Holm
berg & Erickson need have no hest
fancy in offering it to their custom
ers. In days gone by the average
person felt that the best beef cat
tie were all shipped out of the
county, and the poor Gamer left for
home consumption. But things have
changed, evidently, and this 60 head
of prime stock will not see the Chi
cage packers, which is right. We
raise good stock here and we should
have the privilege of using the meat
here.

After the Auto Speeders

Marshal Tavener is enforcing the
auto speed ordinance in DEBORAH, and
all drivers who violate the law, will
have to answer before the mayor.
He is not going to be too severe on
the first violators, but any who fail
to obey the law will find out that
the law is going to be enforced. Fri
day night two cars were hitting a
speed around 40 miles or better on
the road leading out past the fair
grounds going toward Trout Run.
Marshal Tavener and Street Com
missioner Dotseth followed in the
marshal's car and overlook the driv-
ers. The drivers were out of town
fellows and Officer Tavener wanted to
give them chance. He wants
them to come to DEBORAH, but wants
them to drive their cars within the
speed limit and he guarantees no one
will be molested for any small in
fraction of the auto laws. Be fair
with the law and the marshal will
be fair with you.

fines are imposed in a special traffic
court section.
while there is no special traffic
court here, and Jail sentences for
reckless drivers are the exception
rather than the rule. there is a con-
certed effort on the part Of the au-
thorities to rigidly enforce the traf-
fic regulations Of the District. When
shown the above statistics yesterday.
Capt. Albert Headley. chief of the
traffc division Of the police depart
ment. said that nothing could prove
more conclusiyely the absolute neces-
sity for trafic court in Washington
We have been doing all in our
power to enforce the regulations and
to have the courts impose adequate
sentences on those malefactors who
disregard traffic rules" said Capt.
Headley. but here, as elsewhere. un-
til drastic measures are taken. and Sc
we're jail sentences are meted out to
the law-breakers we can hardly look
for any material reduction in the
death and injury rate. The courts
cannot be too severe on those who,
from drink. reck1essness and so-called
toy-ridins, ride roughshod over pedes-
trians."

That police and traffic courts in the
various large cities OF the United
States have been lax in the past. but
hat there Is an indication Of more
stringent measures being adopted in
some localities. is shown by a recent
survey conducted by a Cleveland.
Ohio, paper.
In summing up the situation from
a nationwide standpoint, the paper
says:
In Cleveland within the last few
days prosecution Of traffic cases has
been completely revolutionized. The
former modes and rigidity Of prose-
cution pale into thin air in compari-
son with the present severity of the
traffic court. In every other city. the
survey discloses. prosecutions Of traf-
nc cases, even whore death has been
the result, has been allowed, as 1t was
here, to fall into lax ways.
