FROM ALL,
TURKEY FOR MOST.
Washington Ready to OBJ
serve the Annual Feast.

Irrespective of creed or race, all Wash

knee in thanks for the blessings that have

fortune that has come to them.
President Taft and his family will have
as usual their special turkey from the
turkey farm OF Horace Vose in Rhode
Island. His Cabinet will perhaps enjoy
the national delicacy from other farms

choice birds for the holiday season. And
so throughout the city from the highest
to the lowliest good cheer in some form
will doubtless not be lacking.
