Turkeys Are Scarce
for Thanksgiving

There are going to be great many
turkeyless Thanksgiving and Christ
mas dinners in Abilene this year, say
the butchers and produce men. Last
year the bird was a arcity, and
those who were able to get them, paid

pound. This was considered high
price, but those who are 50 lucky as
to be ab 9 to get turkey this year
will pay 80 cents or more The
shortage is due to the fact that tur-
keys are the hardest to raise Of all
domestic fowls. They are naturally
frail, and changes in temperature
affect the disastrously. The cold,
damp weather OF last spring. besides
the fruit crop, did great dam

age to tie turkey crop. Many farm
ers have quit trying to raise the birds
because Of the great amount Of care
necessary to get them safely to a
marketable size.
Thanksgiving without turkey is as
irrecoRcible to the average American
as the Fourth Of July without fire.

looked upon. during the latter part Of
November at least. as the rival Of the
American eagle for the honor Of being
the national bird. People who want
turkey for Thanksgiving had better
place their orders early with farmers
who raise the birds. People Of mod
crate means will probably eat duck,
as there are plenty Of them to be had.

fealty or party affiliation on the par
Of the voter before entering the boott
to vote, members Of the minority
parties 10 the state could, ii they &C
desired. participate with the majority
party in nominating candidates, and
then defeated those candidates at the
regular election, either by voting fol
the candidates on their own tickets,
or for independent candidates. III
Justice to Mr.. Stubbs it is proper to
state that the original bill introduced
in the house by him, did not contain
this provision. 1t was not until it
became manifest that 1t could not
muster enough votes in the house to
insure its passage that this provision
was incorporated on motion Of Mr..
Hendricks, the Democratic member
from Rawlins county. After 1t was
go amended Il passed that body, re-
ceiving the votes Of every Democrat
present. The vice in this amendment
is that in counties or districts where
either party is IN . hopeless minority
the voters Of that party will be SO In
terested ii the candidates Of the OPP
posite party whose avowed principles
most nearly coincide with their own,
or In candidates with whom they
happen to be friendly, that they will
mark their ballots for them instead Of
for can idates OF their own political
faith. Ger ainly no advocate Of re-
form in our election laws should seek
nomination by such methods. 1t is
true that no voter should permit bis
devotion TO his friends Of au opposite
political belief. or his dislike Of candi-
dates Of that belief. to lead him into
this practice, but you and ! know that
il would prevail to an alarming ex-
tent under such law.
OF course, there are other features
Of the bill which were Questionable to
members Of the senate, one Of which
was the provision for nominating can
didates for the United States senate
By direct vote Of the state atlArge, re-
gardless Of the will Of the voters Of
the senatorial and legislative dis
tricts. One speaker on the floor
Of the senate went 90 far in his op-
position to this provision Of The blii tq|

BRIDE HEARS DEATH
TIDINGS OVER PHONE
DAzED, SHE LISTENS TO MARIA
TIVE OF KILLING OF HER HUs-
BAND.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 9.-Answer-
ing in person n hurry" call from
Hammonton last night, Mrs. Jean
nette Coast, chief operator in the Bell
Telephone Company's main exchange
here, listened in a dazed condition to a
graphic account of the death OF her
husband, Ralph Coast, chief Of line
men for the Bell Company, and then
fell In a faint.
Coast lost his balance whlle-worklng
at the top of a 0O-foot pole on the out
skirts Of Hammonton, but managed to
grip a crossarm as he fell. Men rush
ed to his aid, but before they could
ascend the pole his strength gave out
and he plunged to the earth.
Death was instantaneous. Those who
sent the news here had no idea of the
identity Of the receiver until they
heard Of her shrek with horror at the
close Of the narrative.
Coast and his young wife. who was
Miss Jeanette Curley, met for the
first time when he was transferred
here from the Philadelphia office early
In the summer. They married after a
short courtship, but the pride was
induced to hold her position as chief
operator.
Coast purchased a home two weeks
ago and his wife was to have rendered
her resignation next week to become
It's mistress.
