Thanksgiving Birds Will Be a
Delicacy in Every Sense of
the Word

From the present outlook turkeys are
The usual Thanksgiving bird is not to
be shifted at in any sense of the word,
and much less in the ordinary house
hold, where the pocketbook governs
the family larder.
Present indications point to turkeys
selling around 20 to % cents by
Thanksgiving time. n that is high for
this country, where turkeys are sup
posed to be a part of the barnyard
product. There are fewer turkeys this
year than usual, according to observa-
tons made by the commission men
who have an eye out for them. Last
year the territory around Rockwell City
furnished many of the birds that were
eaten on Thanksgiving tables in Mar
shalltown. This year the supply in that
quarter is short.
There will be turkeys, however, for
those who can afford them. Never are
turkeys so high but that they a be
secured. The only thing in the way of
most people will be the price, but the
old reliable chicken is left, and it is
standard.
AS far as the chicken is concerned,
1t is a shorter crop this fall than usual.
Many of the early hatchings We're
either drowned or chilled and died
from continued wet weather in May.
This is proved by the size of the
springs that are o being received.
Last year the local Swift e. Co. branch
was dressing springs in July. This year
the birds were not anywhere big
enough in July, and are only just now
showing up at about the right size.
chickens scarce, pork up, and other
correspondingly high, it might
be well for the %provident housewife to
start a savings fund with which she
may provide her Thanksgiving table.

Postal People Look for Reduction to
European Countries.
Two-eent postage. as Americans
term it. or penny postage" as they
call it across the water, was establish
ed between the United States and
Great Britain on Oct. 1, and the pos
tai authorities are now watching the
result of the most radical reduction
in postal rates in a decade. 1t has
been the experience of the postoffice
department. that reductions in rates
have brought an increase of business
and invariably the growth of the bus
mess has been so great as materially
to increase the revenues of the de-
partment.
If history repeats itself 1t is believed
that it will not be long until the pos
tai rate to France, Germany and the
postal rate to France. Germany and the
Scandinavian countries which have di-
rect steamship and mail service with
the United States will be reduced to
two cents on letters.
One month ago it cost ten cents to
send a o letter to England
or Ireland. Today the same letter can
be mailed for two cents,
