BASEBALL MANAGER Is SORE.
Wichita Man Says Railroads GObble
Up Western League Money.


Up Western League Money.
Wichita, Kan, March 3.-"The rail-
roads don't do a thing for the Western
league, and that body spends nearly
as much money in travelling as the
National league does"
So declared Owner Jack Holland Of
the Drummers.
''The Western league continued
the Drummer boss, will spend more
than $4,000 this year for mileage
alone. The eight clubs in the league
will travel in the neighborhoed of
$4,000 miles, which is but 5000 miles
less than the National league clubs
travel. The railroads give the Nation
al league $4,000 in advertising. while
they give the Western league about
500 worth.
''They give the American associa-
ton and the Eastern league each
about $500. 1t is hard to explain
why thev don't do anything for us.
Why, even now, when I ask a local
railroad agent for $50 worth of ad-
vertising for the season he falls over
in a fit and wants to have me arrested.
"The Drummers alone this year
spend more than $4,000 with the rail-
roads. This is for railroad fares and
berths alone

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1911-11-24

What did our Puritan ancestors dine on at
their first Thanksgiving feast? Surely they
did not set the standard which is being tol-
lowed today on. the Thanksgiving dinner
menus.
We know that some things were lacking that
they must have greatly missed. There could
have been no butter, cream, milk, cheese, or
any dish that is principally made with milk
because there were no COWS in New England
until 1923. when John Winthrop. later their
worshipful governor, brought over four COWS
from England. The butter and cheese that
they took with them on the Mayfower were
long since consumed. | hardly think they mad
chicken pie for the feast, for the fowls were
served as a rare delicacy for the sick. They
could have had eggs for their pies and pud-
dings. Since they raised pumpkins they might
have had pumpkin pies, If they made them
with water.
In the ocean there was great abundance OF
fish, oysters, and other shellfsh. OF course
there was none of their national dish, prime
roast beef. no veal. lamb, mutton or PORK.
There was plenty of deer, which would be a
good substitute in vension. But they had one
thing that we like better than anything else
on Thanksgiving day. Wild turkeys were very
abundant in the woods and fields about Ply
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1911-11-24

fare for the November holiday have been
greatly increased in number or variety. Your
hearty diner demands on Thanksgiving the es-
~sentials such as turkey and celery and cram
berry sauce and pumpkin pie, which were the
stand-bys of the feast In the days of his father
and his grandfather before him. The point is
that some OF the eatables are unquestionably
more favory than were their counterparts of
several decades ago. and-with all due respect
to the kind that mother used to make-some
OF the modern recipes seem to put 1t all over
the old-timers in garnishes and the prepare
ton of %puddings and pastry, etc.
And, speaking of the changes that have
come about, take the case OF the toothsome
turkey, headliner of the whole holiday menu.
1t would be futile to try to convince the high
liver of the twentieth century who revels in
his milk-fed or chestnut-fed turkey from Rhode
Island or the middle west. that his forefathers
ever enjoyed anything so delicious. Certainly
turkeys have increased in size, too, judging
by the average weight those that find their
way to market. However. this latter develop
ment is clearly traceable to the tendency OF
turkey raisers to devote themselves almost
exclusively to the Bronze, the largest of the
six standard varieties of turkeys.
However,, there are two sides to this turkey
story, and the housewives who preside over
small families are the ones who have had
brought home to them the disadvantageous
side of this boom in the size of turkeys. With
the Dig DTOHZ6 Dlu SiSh1I6 u" IL = "
pounds apiece-and usually nearer the latter
than the former fgure-crowding the market
It is becoming every year more difficult for
the buyer Of a family of two or three people
to find a satisfactory six, seven or eight pound
turkey. 1t really begins to look as though the
small families would be driven to hotels on
THANKSGIVING or else be compelled to take in
boarders or entertain all their friends at the
holiday dinner.
Turkey buying, too, is the phase Of the
THANKSGIVING marketing where the increased
cost of living most severely pinches the man
with the stationary income. A dweller in any
of our large cities may consider himself de-
cidedly in luck these days If he succeeds In
eating a tender turkey at Thanksgiving for
% cents per pound, and he is much more likely
to be asked any figure up to 3S or 40 cents per
pound, which prices have prevailed every
Thanksgiving in recent years in the New YORK
and Boston markets for the choicest birds.
The people of the central west have an ad-
vantage over eastern turkey eaters, because
