A New York weekly had a. fine pie ture of James E. Lord of Stonington holding a big turkey and underneath the picture were these words: "Presl- dent Taft's Turkey" The accompany ing reading: matter follows: President ate minor at least part of him the turkey. His name was King George (withOut the III or other nu merals), and he weighed forty four pounds. He was raised by the gentle man holding him in the picture at Lords Hill, Conn"
 There is evidently some serious mis- take or a deliberate freak of modern periodical work, for the president and his family know that the turkey served at the presidential feast was the bird raised in Rhode Island and dressed and sent to the president as gift from Horace Vose of Westerly, the turkey king.
 Last Monday, while the dressed bird was speeding by express to the White House even the Washington represent ative of the Associated Press became interested in this important annual event, and the untruthful information was sent all over the world that Hor- ace Vose had sent no turkey to Presi l. dent Taft, although every other presi dent had been favored from the days o1 General Grant.

Committees of ST. Peters. Asbury and
Presbyterian Churches All Agree
Taking into consideration the high
cost OF everything used in preparing
the suppers given by the different
organizations of the town it was
thought wise to raise the price of
the suppers which heretofore has
been 25 cents. A committee was
appointed from the three churches
to determine upon a price satisfac-
tory to all. This committee met
and agreed that for the present the
price should be 80 cents. A small
sum indeed for the kind of supper
that is generally served and on which
very little would be made if most of
the material was not donated.

Cheswold, Oct. 25. The condition
of corn in the shock in this locality
is not yet sufficiently dry for load
ing in cars as husked in the field
for shipment and furthermore 43
cents per 70 lbs seems to be the
highest price obtainable. Therefore,
handicapped by the dampness and
shocked by the price. which is 9 cents
per 10 pounds less than the previous
fall prices, our farmers are not so
smiling and happy as one year ago.
Unless these conditions improve some
new auto ambitions will doubtless
wane.
