FOOTPRINTS IN THE
SANDS OF TIME

Longfellow's beautiful expression in
his Psalm Of Life" was probably first
suggested by letter Of the First Napo-
leon to his Minister Of the Interior re-
sspectlng the poor laws.
1t is melancholy, he says, to see time
passing away without being put to It's
full value. Surely In matter OF this
kind we should endeavor to do, some
thing, that we may say that we have
lived, that we have not lived in vain,
that we may leave some impress OF our

TURKEYS
A LUXURY

Turkey and other poultry that
has graced the tables Of average
Sistersville resident on Thanksgiv-
ing from time immemorial will be
so much Of a luxury this year
that only those who have been
smiled on by Mammon will be
able to partake of the meat of
the favored fowl on the coming
days of gastronomic feasts.
The vicissitudes of the weather
of the past summer played havoc
with the turkeys, chickens, ducks
and geese of the poultry farms of
this section and poultry dealers
are anticipating a dearth Of fowl
and consequent high prices. Rains
have caused chickens to die of the
gaps and lives of turkeys have
been cut short by the weather's
vagarles.
From year to year there has
been an increase in the prices of
poultry, but this year the price
will take a leap upwards of five
cents on the pound, which will
make it a tabooed article of cui-
sine on most tables. Housewives
will seek other luXuries than fowl
and it is likely that sea food will
have the call this year.
"The weather of the past sum-
mer has played havoc with the
poultry" said a well-known buck
ster yesterday. "The rain has
killed off chickens, turkeys and
other fowl and the farmers have
nothing in this line to place on
the market this fall, so that l an
ticipate the highest prices for
fowl in the history of Sistersville
this year.
"Last year turkeys sold for 20
cents a pound. That was an I'M
usually high price, but we would
do well, indeed, should we be able
to retail turkey at % cents a
pound this year. The price will
likely be nearer 80 cents a pound.
"Turkeys, chickens, geese and
ducks are scarcer than at any
time in the history of this section
of the country. Poultry dealers
have been making an effort to
place orders for delivery for fowl |
for next month for Thanksgiving,
but they find the farmers have
to offer.
"The persons who have from
year to year gone around the
country buying up poultry for
sale to dealers and consumers in
the cities will not engage in this
business this year, as they failed
to realize on their trouble last
year, compelled to pay such prices
to the farmer that they were una
BILE to realize any profit on their
sales to the dealers and consumers.
Because of their inability to make
any profit last year they will not
60 to the trouble again this year
when the conditions are worse.
"Turkey this year will be as
expensive as quail, which will re
tail at about % cents a pound.
Pheasant will sell at about so
cents a pound and will be almost
as cheap as what has heretofore
been a commOner fowl on the av-
erage table"
