Last Year.

Thanksgiving turkeys are not plen-
tiful this year. In fact there is a gen-
.eral scarcity according 10 T. f. Quis-
enberry, secretary OF the Missouri
State Poultry association. This scare
ity is due in part to the cold weather
in Matching time last spring
I'm the first few weeks OF a turkey :
lie it is very susceptible to cold.
damp weather. According to Mr.
Quisenherry the farmers did not try
TO raise As many turkeys this year as
usual. The fancy breeders have 2
large crop but they cannot supply the
demand.

price of turkeys would not go above
that of last year when he sold dressed
turkey at thirty cents pound Mr..
Martin said that there seemed to be
a scarcity in this part of the state but
that there is large crop in Texas
and some of the other southern states.
On account Of the high price of all
kinds of meat and the big demand for
turkeys in the east. Mr.. Martin be-
Iieyes that the price could not be low ar
than il was last year.

HEAVIEST VOTE WAS
CAST IN FORENOON
Crowds Lined Early at Poll
ing Places to Cast Their
Ballots.
MORE THAN 1000 AT NOON
Observation-Disclosures
Added to Interest in Yes
terday's Election.

The voting in yesterdays election
in Columbia was heaviest late in the
forenoon. Early yesterday morning
both polling places were crowded and
the voters standing in long line wait
ing to cast their ballots. BY 10 O'Clock
about 600 votes had been cast, and by
noon more than 1000.
Judging from discussions on the
streets and around the polls, more in
terest was shown in this election than
in any since the ending of the last
presidential campaign. As in all elec-
tions, citizens gathered in small
groups to discuss different candidates
and the possible outcome, but yester-
day this was far more noticeable.
Interest was not centered at the
polls only. Along Broadway and over
the business district the only topic for
discussion apparently, was the cleo
tion.
The presence of eleven propose
constitutional amendments on the bal
lot was great cause for general in
terest in the election. The Eleventh
Amendment, prohibition, and the new
state capitol proposition apparently
were the favorite topics. Workers
for all three measures were present
at both polls all day.
The race between D. r. Francis and
J. A. Reed for the United States Sen
ate was another subject found in
many street discussions. The gen
eral opinion was that the race was one
of the closest in the history of Mis-
souri,. and while some staunch sup,
porters of the candidates appeared
confident of victory for their men,
many more disclosed that not until
the complete returns were in would
they feel certain of the outcome.

People always like winner" said
Prof. Brewer in speaking of this ac
ton.
During the eight years haze
coached the team at Lansing, we have
never been defeated at home. How
ever we have gotten some trouncings
abroad. We have never managed 10

but we have come mighty close. The

Professor Brewer has been following
