Editorial Notes.

There is no other way to deal
with these ignorant, striking, selfish,
boycotting, burning, threatening
and numbering mobs called labor
unions but to force them to become,

ARE UP IN THE
AIR THIS YEAR
Gobblers and CranberrieS to
Be ClaSSed as LuxurieS.
SAID TO BE VERY SCARCE
Poor Mans Table Liable to Be Void OF
These OId-time DelicacieS on the
Coming Thanksgiving Day.

Turkeys and cranberry sauce, the
two staple features of the typical
Thanksgiving dinner, will come
high this year, and doubtless many
a family will have to provide sub
stitutes for them.
No trust is responsible for the
high prices and no combination Of
spectators has obtained a corner on
the market. It is simply caused by
d shortage in the supply. The
weather has not been favorable to
the production either of turkeys or
cranberries, and as result there is
not sufficient supply of either to
supply every family in the country
with it's share.
And what will Thanksgiving be
without turkey and cranberry
sauce?
The crop of cranberries in Wis
consin, where the best OF the crop
of the United States is usually pro-
duced, is very much reduced, and
what the growers have raised has
been all sold to dealers who are
holding them for the immediate
Thanksgiving period when the de-
mand becomes stiff and prices are
up in the air.
The crop met it's fate at the hands
of Jack Frost at the same time that
the corn crop in the middle west
was nipped and suffered SO much
damage. The Wisconsin varieties
are the Bell and Bugles and Bell
and Cherries. They are now in
cold storage waiting for the fatten-
ing of the turkey.
Along with the report OF the
shortage in the supply Of cranber-
ries comes the statement that tur-
keys are also to be scarcer this year
than they were a year ago, which
will mean higher prices.
"A wet season always means a
scarcity of turkeys" said local
butcher, and this season has been
very wet It is hard to raise young
turkeys with wet weather. Prices
now are about the same as last year
at this time-15 cents per pound
but I expect they will advance to at
least Is cents at Thanksgiving time.
We have received quite few in
quiries and number of orders for
the big birds for Thanksgiving.
The general belief is that they will
be scarce this year"
The dried fruit season is now on
and stock Of this kind is moving
quite rapidly. Especially are the
staple apricots and peaches moving
freely. The dried fruit supply is
plentiful and the market firm. The
crop is of an exceptional quality.
The bulk of the supply which is
marketed here comes from Califor-
MIA. Dried raspberTies and black
berries are on the market and new
raisins will be here this week. Pric-
es are lower on all this class OF
goods than year ago at this time.
The shipping season in fresh ap-
pies is fast drawing to a close. ALI
of the best winter keeping stock will
be shipped from supply points in a
week or two after which it will be
difficult to secure as good a stock as
now. Eastern apples are of unsat-
isfactory quality this year and the
Ben Davis is a popular brand which
is being marketed now.
