The poultry market was way up
this morning, and it looked like many
would 90 without their customary
Christians turkey. This particular
American bird was never known to be
scarcer than this Christmas, and the
few that were in market this morning
readily brought from 20 to 20 cents
per pound. Ducks and chickens also
sold high and retailed for 81. 20 to 81. %
per pair. Many of the country people
seemed to be imbued with the idea
that holly and cedar would take the
place of the Christmas turkey this
year. from the quantity that was on
the market. Had turkeys been half
as Vulnerable as the berries on the
holly. every family could have been
abundantly supplied.

by critics who have reviewed the per-
Torrance to be one of the most decided

the best that has ever presented this
