DINNER COMES HIGH.
Cost of Thanksgiving Feast Highest in
Manv Years,

Washin gton, Nov. 27.-On the day
millions of Americans sit down to
Thanksgiving dinners, which are the
most expensive in twenty-five years.
and cost 35 to 100 per cent more than
such dinners would have cost ten years
ago, resolutions were introduced in
congress asking for federal investiga-
ton OF the increasing cost of living.
Higher prices for turkeys are in part
explained by the loss Of thousands of
dressed turkeys shipped during the
warm weather a week go, when those
birds became unfit for food. The prices
paid to farmers are higher and the in
crease has extended all along the route,
from farm to consumer.
Vegetables are also higher and the
recent drouths are said to have re-
duced the crop of white potatoes this
year 100,00o.O0O bushels below last
years crop, while plant diseases
abroad have greatly curtailed importa-
tons. Prices of sweet potatoes, how
ever. are about the same as last year
Those who use substitutes for turkey
at their Thanksgiving dinners VIII find
that hens show an increase of cents
a pound. as against ten years ago.
while pork has advanced to cents
Such persons may, however, con-
vince themselves that they did not
want turkey anyway, and If their
friends doubt the statement they can
point to the following utterance OF DR..
Mary E. Pennington expert In food re-
search in tn ebureaus of chemistry,
department of agriculture:
"The Lord never intended turkey to
be the Thanksgiving food of the coun-
try generally.
christmas is the time for TURKEY.
Green goose is the Thanksgiving BIRD
and is generally used in Europe where
ST. Martins day is celebrated about
this time Of year. In colonial days In
New England, where the winter season
sets in early, It was different and more
favorable to turkeys. but such cond1-
tions do not prevail over the United
States as a whole"

'ONE.C GENT POSTAGE
ACTIVELY PUSHED
ADVOCATES OF CHEAPER LETTER
TRANSPORTATION TO MAKE
1T LIVE ISSUE.
DEMAND GREAT JUDGING
FROM NUMEROUS BILLS
No Less Than Dozen Measures For
Penny Postage Pending Before Con-
sress-other Important Changes in
Postoffloe Laws to Be Considered,
Including Government Ownership.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, Nov. 27.-Penny post
age promises to become an extremely
live issue in the regular session of
congress. 1t is one of several big ques-
tons pertaining to the postoffice de-
partment which will be agitated. The
others include the proposed taking over
Of the telephone and telegraph systems
by the government, modification Of the
parcels post law. and legislation to
make the railroads pay for the weigh
ing of the mails.
Judging from the number of bills in
troduced on the subject of 1-cent post
age, the demand for it seems to be
great. No less than a dozen bills have
already been introduced in regard to
changes in postage rates and half of
these provide for penny postage out
right. The measure most often re-
ferred to is that of Senator Burton. He
has long been advocating 1-cent letter
postage. His bill provides the first
class rate shall be 1 cent per ounce
Several Bills Introduced.
Congressman Austin, Of Tennessee;
Rouse, of Kentucky; Aiken, of South
Carolina; Bartlett, Of Georgia; and Nc
hellar. of Tennessee, have introduced
bills providing likewise for penny post
age, or a trst-class rate Of cent an
ounce.
Several bills have been introduced
providing that the first-class rate of 1
cent an ounce shall prevail in case de-
livery is to be made within the limits
Of the postoffice where the matter was
mailed. Congressman Roddenberry pre-
sented a similar bill
Congressman Griest, of Pennsylva-
MIA, has a bill which provides for l.
cent rate on letters to be delivered in
the limits Of the local office. His bill
also provides that the firSt-class rate
shall be cent for the first ounce and
l cent for each ounce additional
Reply letters and postal cards could
be carried without prepayment Of post
age If bills introduced by Senator
Townsend and Congressman Lloyd be-
come law. This subject has no bearing
on l-cent letter postage but would
mean considerable reduction in rates
in the aggregate. Congressman Nc
Coy, Of New Jersey, has introduced a
house joint resolution for an inquiry
into 1-cent letter postage by a commits
sion, made up of four members, two
from the senate and two from the
house.
If it seems settled this winter that
the parcels post IS a success, If it
stands the test of the Christmas holi-
day rush, and il 1t is clear that it pays,
penny postage will receive an impetus.
Most Of the objection which is raised
to it is economical. Many in con-
gress who would like to see 1-cent
postage fear 1t may mean a big loss to
the postoffice department. But If par
cells post proves a paying business, as
it seems certain to, the 1-cent postage
advocates will feel much strengthened.

factor. They have led to wholesale
renewal OF charges that the cold stor-
age system is being used to squeeze the
public at a time Of year when eggs.
butter and some other food products
are comparatively scarce.
The fact Attorney General Mercy
nolds is going to investigate high prices
Of eggs and poultry and in this con-
nection will probe the cold storage
problem is likely to serve to fan the
interest in the subject in congress
This will be the case especially if the
department Of justice does not exempt
the cold storage interests from blame
for high prices or for partial RESPONSE
bility for high prices
Always Mako Showing.
Congress has considered the cold
ent times. Always the cold storage
interests have come to the front and
have endeavored to show they were
