time. The horn of plenty is lined
with turkeys it would appear, but
unless the farmers feel like selling
to local markets there will not re the
usual priced twelve to twenty cents
pound this year on turkey day.
Last year turkeys were plentiful but
the price was not up too high. This
year. New York poultry dealers re-
port to the local market that prices
ranging from % to % cents a pound
for turkeys can be expected Even
a small spring chicken that will
make but a fair meal for two costs
a half dollar without being dressed.
So the twenty-five cent turkey
takes his place along side the nine
dollar hog, but the old adage says:
Cheer up. the worst is yet to come.
It is very probable that wurst will
be served in many homes this year,
and next year hash will be the luxury
and crowned king OF edibles.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1910-11-11

principal cause, however, is said to
be the great grain business. The
farmers did not expect record
breaking crop this year, and conse-
quently kept much Of last years
grain. A bumper crop puts 1910
as an important year in history, and
now the railroads are hauling the
crops of two years. The grain bust
ness together with other business
caused by the prosperity of the coun-
try makes monster soo for the
railroads, and even at this early sea-
son the railroads can hardly keep up
with the demand for cars.
Railway and business men wonder
what the situation will be In the mid
die of winter There is no hope in
sight for relief, for business gives
no promise to abate, ana the rail-
roads certainly cannot manufacture
enough extra cars and engines to
avert the trouble There Is not only
scarcity of cars. but there is also
scarcity Of engines. The roads are
running many extra trains every day,
and invariably the extra trains are
coal trains.
Yet these extra coal trains are not
supplying the demand sufficiently to
avert coal famine in case Of sud-
den cold spell A merchant said this
morning that one railroad was send
ing circular letters to all its agents
to advise the merchants to stock up
with coal and be prepared for the big
rush of business, for when the rush
comes it will be impossible to give
quick relief
The famine threatens other cities
even more than Cedar Rapids. Chi
cago fears coal famine such as it
has never gone through before Her
merchants are fairly flooded with or
ders for coal. but there is no relief
In sight. The situation is much the
same in other cities. 1t is said that
nothing can prevent serious car
shortage this winter, and that the
only possible escape from a coal fam
inc will be long continuation Of
good weather. Warny weather will
make 1t possible for the railroads to
supply coal dealers with plenty of
stock and when the cold spell does
arrive there will be no sudden clam
or for an extra supply.

ONE TOWN SAYS
FAMINE UNAVOIDABLE
Cedar Rapids Says There Will Be
the Mischief to Pay If Cold
Spell Arrives Soon.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette, has
to say of the coal situation which
seems to be worrying many nearby
cities within radius OF seventy-five
or hundred miles rust now, but
has no seeming effect on Keokuk
fuel dealers:
If sudden cold spell hits this
part of the country, Cedar Rapids
will experience coal famine such
as 1t has never gone through before,
Is the opinion of men who are famil-
far with the coal situation and know
something about car shortage. The
vital proposition is not how to avoid
a scarcity OF coal during the winter
months; on the contrary. it is how
to avert sudden coal famine at this
time of the year when winter wealth
er is just beginning.
The paramount cause Of a posi-
BILE coal famine Is again a shortage
OF railway cars. 1t Is said by good
authority that at the present time
the railroads have enough business
to tax the utmost capacity OF their
rolling stock, and that when the de-
mand for more cars and more bust
ness arrives, the railroads will be
IN trouble to which last years car
shortage cannot be com-ared. Every
body will scowl when thinking Of
the car shortage last winter Mer-
chants haunted the railway offices
from morning until night, and al
though the unfortunate officials were
begged, called down, and cussed
there was no possible remedy, and
cars remained en- route for three or
four months. Several merchants re-
ceived winter goods so late in the
season that they could not use them,
and so great was their wrath that
this year winter goods were ordered
months ahead of time
The big coal business, caused by
the ending of the Illinois strike and
the prosperity of the country do
much to help the car shortage. The

Backward About Selling.


From the largest poultry dealer in
the city, it was learned today that
the farmers nearby are very reticent
about making price for their gobble
birds. Furthermore as natives of
rural homes have plenty Of feed in
their granaries for this particular
brand of Thanksgiving day fowl so
that they are able to care for the
great overflow OF young and skinny
turkeys that they have on hand right
now. In two weeks. however, these
emaciated birds will not be their
scrawny selves. but will be fairly
plump and those that aren't will be
held over until the holiday season,
when they will weigh several pounds
more, and will be worth skin, pin
feathers and outer pinions, from six
bits to a dollar more.
Looks Like Twenty-Five Cents.
Roughly estimating and only hap
hazzarding poultry mans guess,
turkeys will be worth easily twenty
