appearance to coincide with the going
away OF Frederick Noble. a youth OF
twenty-five. who preferred amateur
thcatr1cals to his fathers trade Of

Believing that conditions are ideal in

local business men are formulating
plans for pasturing large flocks of the
Thanksgiving fowl on the hills in that
region. Prompted by the high prices
and the usual big demand for turkeys
during the holiday seasons, Charles

local commission houses has made a
careful investigation of the turkey
business and it was with him that
the turkey plantation idea originated.
Mr.. Collins says that if there is
any one thing upon which a turkey
thrives best it is dry weather and as
there has never been shortage of
this in the Horse Heaven country
he is of the opinion that he has found
