THANKSGIVING DAY
GOOD THINGS HIGH
Poultry Scarce in the Local
Markets and Prices Are
Soaring

Thanksgiving Day is with us with
all its joys and sorrows. its pleasant
and sad remembrances, its remln-
sences OF days gone by and hopes for
future days, are all here except-the
turkey.
And after all. what is a Thanksgiv-
ing dinner without the festive bird?
'Tis but a dream without an ending. a
rude awakening to the fact that the
goose, the duck and the chicken are
good on ordinary days but on
Thanksgiving-never
A stroll through the markets today
would soon convince one that the tur-
key is indeed a scarce article although
on several stalls may be seen speci-
mems Of the bird. Some are lean and
.scraggly. others fat and hobby but
none the ideal turkey of by-gone days.
And the prices too are almost beyond
reach. They begin at the minimum
point of 25 cents. Then 2s was asked
and finally the limit OF 30 cents was
reached. The buyers were almost as
scarce as the bird. Two dollars and
fifty cents is almost ito much for the
ordinary mortal to pay for a turkey.
Most people with large families could
not do it.
Chickens, fairly good, were plenti-
full. 1sc and zoe per pound being de-
manded. Some were sold not MANY.
The duck and the goose predominant.
Ice being the prevailing price for the
former, 12c for the latter. They are
fat too and present a tempting appear
ance. They'll take the place of the
turkey greatly tomorrow.
Eggs, that necessary adjunct to all
good cooking. are high, exceptionaIIv
so. Thirty and 4Oc per dozen is asked
and not any too many Of them either.
even at that price.
Money does not appear to be as free
as usual, the average buyer purchas-

and every one will have to buy some-
thing, however little.

Of fall and it is this value which the
commission in purchasing the rights
would have to consider.
1t appears that the commission made
its mistake in carrying the Rockland
project as far as IL did without making
a greater effort to ascertain its legal
status. Although the commission has
entered into a contract with the Jessup
and Moore people for 20.0O0,OOO gallons
per day, yet that contract will prove
valueless unless contracts can be
made with the other firms above for
an equal amount, and some surprise is
expressed that an agreement with one

ments had been made with all the
