but that he did not reply, being provoked
at the person for making the noise He
says he received information that Fitch

Omaha and south Omaha High scho o.
basket BaIIers Smear
Their buildings.

Saturday evenings game Of basket ball
between teams OF the Omaha and South
Omaha High schools in the gymnasium of
the latter institution is said to have been
responsible for class rivalry. which became
manifest In color schemes wrought with
bright paint on the trent of both high
schools.
The Omaha school authorities were noti-
fed Sunday that the high school building
had received a liberal decoration on the
front steps and doors. Superintendent
Davidson viewed the scene and believed he
could read between the lines and discern
suggestions OF South Omaha. He drove TO
the South Omaha High school and found
the front Of that building similarly dec
GRATED.
Monday morning superintendents David
son Of Omaha and Mclean of South
Omaha and Principals Waterhouse OF
Omaha and Graham of South Omaha held
a conference. Later in the morning the
South Omaha superintendent telephoned
Mr.. Davidson that a committee OF stu
dents OF the South Omaha High school
promised 10 hand the superintendent a list
OF the names OF the South Omaha class
decorators providing the Omaha superin-
tendent would furnish South Omaha a list
OF the Omaha class enthusiasts. Negotia-
lions were carried on in a diplomatic man
ner. Superintendent Davidson is hopeful
that before nightfall he will be able to
enter the South Omaha camp with a list
OF Omaha names 10 be exchanged for the
South Omaha list.

GOOD GUIDE TO PRESERVE
Merchants Organ of Philadelphia in
Special Number Makes Fine,
Appearance.

The twenty-seyenth anniversary number
of The Merchants Guide, published In Phil
adelphia, is book well worth keeping.
1t consists OF more than 100 large pages is
printed on fine enamel paper and has a
handsome cover design. The book is
primarily of an advertising nature and ex-
ploits the development of the present great
strength and resources of the Quaker City.
1t abounds in half-tone illustrations. Per-
haps the most interesting part of the book,
at least to the layman, is a series of
comparisons, each comparison being two
large handsome pictures. the first an old
print showing some spot in Philadelphia in
1900 and the second a half-tone showing
the same spot today. Handsome pictures
of some of the historic buildings of Phila-
delphia are also shown.

FESTIVE TURKEY
NOT HIGH PRICED
Those in Now Sell for 80
Gents a Pound But Price
May Drop Tomorrow

The Thanksgiving market began to-
day and tomorrow, turkeys, cranberries
and all the other things that go to make
up savory Thanksgiving feast will
be loaded into the King and Madison
street markets. Wilmington housewives
will have many reasons TO be thankful.
and the spirit of the week will prob
ably be more pronounced now that it
is indicated that there will be an inn
mediate lowering OF the prices of all
food products following the greatly in
creased circulation of money and the
closing down or reduction in the forces
Of many manufacturing plants
Prices of poultry. it is indicated by
conditions and by the assertions Of
local dealers, will make sudden drop.
Turkey prices have dropped to 80
cents a pound, five cents a pound lower
than the price during the last two
weeks and the prospect is that the
market will be flooded tomorrow and
the prices will drop further Another
piece of good news for the house
keeper who contemplates a proper
celebration of Thanksgiving is that
there is not only a heavy stock Of
cranberries. but that they will be sold
at unusually low prices. One reason
is that there has been little demand
from the west for the New Jersey
cranberries. George b. Booker. the
commission merchant says that there
is twice the crop of cranberries in New
Jersey now as there was at this time
last year, while 100000 crates more Of
Cape Gods" have come here this year
than last AS a consequence the price
of cranberries is anything but high.
and they are selling from 2s to so
cents cheaper a crate than last year
As for chicken, which is bought in
large quantity for Thanksgiving by
those who can't afford to buy turkey,
the outlook is just as encouraging to
the thrifty housewife. Live chickens.
which sold at from IA to 16 cents a
pound wholesale two weeks ago, have
dropped in the King street market to
- and l3 cents. Dressed chicken has
dropped about two cents. while ducks,
which sold at 16 and is cents a pound
have dropped to - and Is cents.

HENS ON STRIKE;
EGGS ARE SCARCE
Birds That Won't Lay will
Surely Lose Their
Heads

The high price Of eggs is causing poul-
try raisers to resort to all sorts Of schems
to make their hens lay Thus far their
efforts have not been crowned with sue
cess. and unless the biddies begin TO get
busy Immediately the chances are that
many will lose their heads. With eggs
three and four cents each an enterprisirg
hen could easily make money for her
master.
One poultry raiser who has two or three
hundred hens, figures his chickens could
bring him IN an income Of five or six doll
lars day. He has rather banked on this
during the summer. and being new in the
business, confidently expected that as soon
as November rolled around. his brood OF
spring fowls would turn out eggs so fast
that he would have difficulty in selling
them. Thus far, however. the chickens
have proved a disappointment. There
have been few eggs, Of course. but the
quantity secured has been hardly sufd-
cient for home use.
Ready For A Killing.
, The owner has become disgustod and
visits TO local markets indicate that the
duced. Other chicken raisers are also
complaining that hens won't lay. This ap-
plies 10 spring fowls as we'll as o,d timers,
who have seen number Of springs come
and go. People who write pieces for the
poultry papers. lay the egg shyness of the
hens TO the late spring.
Chicken raisers say, however It is
pure cussedness. Overcome with self-im-
portance. the hen has become too proud
10 lay an egg and despite every induce
ment will not so near a nest Patent egg
foods have had no effect and It looks as
if the greater part Of poultrydom had
gone on a strike. one man hung a number
OF gaily colored Autographs showing
chickens eating prepared hen food and
laying eggs at the same time. in his poul-
try house, but the fowls took no notice Of
the pictures. and the experiment has not
brought forth a single egg.
Hen Too Independent.
Experienced poultry raisers say there
Is no reason why eggs should not be
reasonable in price. There IS some eX-
cuse for spring fowls refusing to lay in
could weather but the fall has been
n mild one and eggs ought to be quite
plentiful. Chickens this fail have not pro-
duced enough eggs to pay for the grain
they have consumed. and rather than fur
nish more high priced feed many hen
owners have decided TO prepare the birds
for the Thanksgiving festivities This
ought to insure an abundance Of native
poultry and serve to keep prices down.
