HIGH PRICE FOR

Turkey, Eggs and Meat Prices
Up, But Other EdibIeS
Show No Change

The housewives pocketbook for
supplying this years Christmas table
will Of necessity have to be little
fatter than it has been heretofore.
For instance, turkeys are high nov,
selling at 2S. 80 and 80 cents. and
the prospects are than they will go
higher. It is predicted that the usual
western supply of fowls will fail The
local market
If the shopper believes that turkey
is too dear and decides to have roast
beef she will discover that the choice
cuts have gone up some cents since
last Christmas. If she thinks that
perhaps roast pork will do just as
we'll. she will be told that pork is
higher yet; even veal is higher How
ever. it is consoling to know that
sheep and lambs are as cheap as
at any average period during
the past five years, ana it would ap-
pear that the prices will remain about
the same for the holiday season.
The butchers cOncede that meat
prices have dropped; but even taking
the decline into account, with the ex-

CONTEST WINNER
HAS COINCIDENCE

A letter from Mrs. John II. Sizer
expressing her appreciation Of the
chance to see HE Fell I'm Love With
His Wife" reveals an odd coincidence
In awarding Mrs. Sizer the seventh
prize in the contest which had for its
subject the solution whether wo-
man is ever justified in marrying a
man favorably known TO her ten min
utes after meeting him, the judges had
no idea that they were granting the
privilege of seeing E. p. Roe's story
upon the stage to his grandniece.
Mrs. Steers letter reveals the fact
that prior to her marriage she was
Miss I. Belle Roe, a grandniece OF

His spirit of Love seems to be in the
air.
To tighten every burden, relieve every
carel
A Mission of Comfort He came to
fulfill
The Mission of Joy and Peace and
Good Will,
To the Captive in bondage who longs
to be Free
He is saying, 'Ye Weary one, Come
unto Mel"
Touch the hem of His Garment, He
maketh thee whole,
He healeth thy body, He healeth thy
soull
OH Beautiful Garden of Roses in
bloom
OH Beautiful Lilies with Wealth of
Perfumei
OH Beautiful Heavens! OH Beautiful

Your beauty all fade when the Christ
Child we see
Altogether Lovely and beautiful is
Hel
For He is the Rose of Sharon You
Know,
And He is the Lily in the Valley be-
low,
And He is the Star of the Morning,
Divine
Whose Heavenly Light forever shall
shine,
OH Master We Love Thee and wor-
ship Thy Name!
And rejoice that Thou are ever the
same!
The Children never had a Friend half
so kind,
AS Jesus, He opened the eyes Of the
blind,
He healed all the sick, brought Hope
to the lost
! And Redeemed the whole Race, not
counting the lost
He Teaches all Mankind to Trust in
His Grace!
! There is life for a Look at His Beaut-
full Face!
So let us be happy this Glad Christ

dure,
And from His Great Throne in Heaven
above
He will fold us to His Comforting
Bosom of Love!
OH Blest Happy Christmas, remind us
again.
TO be Faithful and True mid sorrow
and pain,
Forgiving, Forgetting, being Kindly to
all,
Just to love all Mankind, the great
and the small,
| Have the Spirit of Christmas every
day in the year,
Thus living with Jesus, Have nothing
to fearl
"In as much as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these"
May i be our Motto, trying ever to
please
BY upright living and walking with
Thee,
Till the King In His beauty with joy

Dear Loved ones in Glory, We are
Coming some day.
Through Christ, The Life, The Truth
and The Way
Some sweet blessed day He viii come

| When the Secrets of all hearts shall
surely be known,
And the sorrow and worry of body and
mind,
And all our distractions shall be left
far behind.
Forever with the Lord our Saviour
and King
His praises in Glory His People shall
sing.

A SENSATION
Likely TO Come Out Of
The Bull Trial.
QuaIey, Accused Of Sw|ndIing
Former Mrs. Blaine,
Asks Her Counsel Why Ne Doesn't
Tell Whole Story.

New York. Aug. An explosion is
promised in the trial of Harvey Wiley
Corbett q well-known architect. and
his associate John Qualey. a promot-
err who are both accused by Mrs w
L. Bull. wife of the late eminent New
York surgeon. and a former wife of
James G. Blaine. Jr. of swindlng her
out of the $35 900. which she says she
gave them for investment in a mag
neSia company.
While arguments were being heard
today on a writ of habeas corpus,
Qualey jumped up and called to
Charles l.. Craig. counsel for Mrs.
Bull:
Craig. why don't you tell this whole
thing; It'H come out soon and it's going
to make Il big scandal"
Tell anything you want to- retort-
ed Mr.. Craig.
John F. Mcintyre. counsel for the
defendants, asserted today that both
his clients were innocent and honor
able men and that there was S10.000.000
worth of business on Corbett's desk
now awaiting for his attention. Mrs.
Bull is equally sure of her case and
was insistent today on pressing it for
ward.
There was no decision today on the
application for writ of habeas cor
prs. But counsel for Mrs. Bull said
that if one was granted a warrant
sworn out today in New York courts
charging grand larceny under false
prctences would Immediately follow.

VIII Devote Large Portion Of Coming
Message to Congress to Conserva-
tIon--VIce President Optimistic
Over New York Situation,

beverly. Mass, Aug. 1.-President
lalt followed up today the recent can
reIation of his Western and Southern
engagements by announcing that his
speeches of the future will be few and
far between. He politely but firmly
told Il committee of citizens from Pro-
vidence. r. l., who came TO him. that
he could not reconsider the cancella-
tlon OF his engagement to speak before
the Atlantic Deeper Waterway Asso-
ciation in that city in September Mr..
latt said he regretted having to say
no, DIT important matters of public
business would claim mis- attention
frrm now until the convening of Con-
gresS.
The President did not give a definite
answer today tn Governor Eberhardt
of Minnesota and delegation of Is
representative men of St Paul. who
cafle to urge him to accept the invita-
ton to speak before the National Con-
servation Congress in that city on Sent.
:. Mr.. Taft is inclined to accept this
invitation. Conservation seems to be
the theme of the hour and the Presi-
dent is anxious that his position on the
suhJtc shall be fully understood He
contemplateS giving Il large proportion
Of his coming message to Congress to
this subject.
If lie goes to st. Paul he will sim
ply write the conservation feature of
his message in advance and de-
liver it in an address before the Con-
servatior Congress. IN this way the
st. Paul engagement would interfere
hIIf little with tho procInnf's nlo
for the next three months.
Mr.. Taft announced positively today
that If he goes to St Paul it will be
on a dying trip and ne will make no
speeches either going to or returning
from the Minnesota city.
The Presidents only definite speak
ing engagement, as matters now stand
is at Provincetown on Friday when the
Pilgrims monument is unveiled. Thi@
address will be brief and will be de
voted wholly to the Pilgrims.

There was no attempt to conceal the

tions were also discussed and the
President found his visitors quite op

Candidates for the New York COVER
norship were talked over with the

were Clark Williams of Albany state
superintendent Of banking and Henry
l.. Stimson. former United states dis

that the talk was not confined to these
two but they were the only names re

course. in the choice of a good man to
mead the state ticket. but he would
leave the selection to the state cOnven-
| ton.
| As to the influence of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt in New York politics, there
is every reason to believe that the state
| leaders fully recognize it's potency.
This phaze Of the situation entered into
today's conference at Burgess point
and President Taft was told that it is
the hope of the New York Republicans
that = candidate may be selected upon
whom all factions can unite and who
| will command the approval and sup
port of the President, Of Governor
| Hughes ANA of Col Roosevelt. The
Vice President and Mr.. Wald told the
President that there has been no crys-
ta,ization of sentiment in favor of any
one man yet. The state convention is
net to be held until the latter part of
September and the leaders feel there is
plenty of time to work out the stua-
tion. William Loeb, Jr., collector OF
the port of New York. apparently has
removed himself from consideration for
the nomination.. His name was not dis
cuSSed today.
President Taft has received a num-
Der of letters of late. urging the ap-
pointnent of Associate Justice Harlan
AS chief justice of the United States

coming in recommending various law
vers and judges for the two vacancies
on the supreme court bench. All Of
