John Dunn owed Joe Dunn, and Joe Dunn dunned John Dunn, and John Dunn said if Joe Dunn had not done what he had done, it need not have been done, and Joe Dunn said if John Dunn had done what he said he would have done if he hadn't done what he had done there would have been no dunning done. And what Joe Dunn. done, he done to get set clement with John Dunn, and that not being done he might as we'll not have done what he done in dunning John Dunn. After all that was done there was nothing done.

Menu of First Thanksgiving Feast

What did our Puritan ancestors dine on at
their first Thanksgiving feast? Surely they
did not set the standard which is being fol-
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 I'm New England
until 1928 when John Winthrop, later their
worshipfu governor, brought over four COWS
from England. The butter and cheese that
they took with tham on the Mayflower were
long since consumed | hardly think they had
chicken pie for the feast. for the fowls were
served as 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. II they made them
with water.
In the ocean there was great abundance OF
fish, oysters and other shellflsh. 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 n
good substitute In venson. But they had one
thing that we like better than anything else
on Thanksgiving day. Wild turkeys were very
abundant IN the woods and 6alds aNn"t V'~-

duck or goose for the regulation Thanksgiving
fowl The cost is much less and the satisfac-
tion equally great-once a householder has
freed himself from the tradition that Thanks
giving without turkey would not be Thanks
giving. Then too. the increasing number Of
vegetarians and persons who have adopted
dict of nuts or other meat substitutes, have
devised some very ingenious proxies for the
Thanksgiving dinner-non-meat dishes that
even simulate the appearance of a turkey.
However, these new-fangled dishes can scarce
ly be recommended as cheap, owing TO the
amounts of nuts and the number of eggs the
recipes call for.
In the face of soaring prices I'm many
food lines, It is gratifying TO note one Thanks

mains virtually unchanged. This is our old
friend the pumpkin, dear TO youth and old
age alike in the form of the pumpkin pie No
person has ever attempted to corner" the
pumpkin crop. and probably no person ever
will undertake such a miracle. The fact that
the great golden globes with their luscious
"flln " can be raised In every section of the
United States, and that, too, without any
trouble, once the vines are planted, is doubt
less responsible for the moderate prices that
always prevail. Probably there is town or
city in the country where a good-sized pump
kin cannot be purchased for so cents. and in
most American markets one may buy small

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 unquestlonably
more fiavory 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-tmers in garnishes and the prepara
ton of puddings and pastry etc.
And. speaking of the changes that have
come about, take the of the toothsome
turkey, headliner OF the whole holiday menu.
II would be futile to try to convince the high
liver of the twentieth century who revels in
his milkfed 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 dsadvantageous
side of this boom in the size of turkeys. With
the big bronze birds weighing from 16 TO SO
pounds apiece-and usually nearer the latter
than the former fgure-crowding the market
Il is becoming every year more di1leut for
the buyer OF family of two or three people
TO find satisfactory six, seven or eight pound
turkey. II 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 dweer in any
OF our large cities may consider himself de-
cidedy I'm luck these days II he succeeds in
getting tender turkey at Thanksgiving for
25 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.

vantage over eastern turkey eaters because

learn that Texas leads all the other states IN
the Union In the number OF turkeys produced.
Proximity of the market TO the rural dis
trict whence II draws its supply OF holiday
fowls is a highly important consideration now
adays, because the mistress Of a city home
can no longer purchase her Thanksgiving tur
key from a farmer who drives up to her door
marketing the products Of his own farm. All
the turkeys are handled nowadays through com
mission merchants, which means. of course,
that there is middlemans profit TO be paid
by the ultimate consumer. Another secret OF
the present high prices Of turkeys Is found
in the fact that the live birds are shipped long
distances. If they are transported by express
the expense is considerable. and II they make

The Cats Thanks
giving Soliloquy

I'm just about tired OF waiting
For my Thanksgiving treat;
! see them about the table,
And they eat and eat, and eat.
They do not think of poor pussy.
Who has had so long to walt;
Why doesn't some one remember
That It's growing very late.
And haven't smelt that turkey
Since into the oven It went?
II they'd give just one drumstick.
Why. then I'd be content.
But no, they sit there talking
And laughing aloud with glee;
wish that some one among them
Would throw down a bone to me.
There's that greedy little Teddy.
Three times he's passed his plate;
And that turkeys growing smaller
At very rapid rate.
And see Jacks face! 'Tis shining
With gravy up to his eyes.
I wonder they take no notice
When they hear my hungry cries.
Oh. dear! There's dessert TO follow.
The puddings and pumpkin pies
And the fruits and nuts and candy,
And oh. how fast times flies!
All. there's gentle little Ethel.
She's so loving and so kind,
She's bringing me some turkey bones
And a grateful cat she'll find.

The business side OF the problem OF supplying
a Thanksgiving dinner for the American people
is by no the least interesting phase OF
this subject. The city Of Chicago alone re-
ceives during the week or ten days before
Thanksgiving as many half million turkeys,
valued In the aggregate, at wholesale prices, at
much more than millions dollars. From Cape
Cod, Mass, the greatest cranberry growing dis
trict, there are shipped each autumn more than
onethird Of a million car loads of cranberries.
and the major portion of this harvest finds it's
way to Thanksgiving dinner tables. Many car
loads OF celery from Michigan and other states

have given prominence this year
to the exploit OF an Indiana farm

Cranberries are a Thanksgiv-

incomplete without the cranber-
