FEAR THANKSGIVING
DINNER TO COME HIGH
Scarcity in Turkeys and Cranberries
Dealers say VIII Boost Prices
This Fall.

A Thanksgiving diner without the
usual sizzling turkey 10 grace the IA
vorite place at the head of the table
is liable to be served in a. majority of
the homes of South Bend on Nov. 81
this year.
A scarcity Ct the birds in this vi
cinity will probably boost the price
to the maximum of all former rec
ords. Last year one local merchant
said the prices scared to top notches
when the dressed bird sold for IS
cents a pound. That it will go even
higher is the probability this year.
From the vicinity surrounding
South Bend a large quantity of tur-
keys are shipped TO Chicago and
eastern markets every year. How
ever it is feared that this year there
will be hardly enough TO supply the
city. Already local dealers are pre-
pairing for the big festival by arrang
ing for their birds.
That the Thanksgiving dinner will
cost more than usual is also evident
when the dealers announced Tuesday
that the price of cranberries is liable
to jump to $40 a bushel or over 50

The klaxon brayed again. A trim ap-

queried Floyd.
Stanton opened his lips, and closed
them again without speaking. His
trained glance went to sweep his OPP
ponents. gaging their relative posi-
lions. their probable order on the first
turn, and his own best move. The
successive flashlights on either side
were binding. the atmosphere was
suffocating with the exhaust gasolene
and acetylene fumes. It was as fa-
miliar to him as the odor Of sawdust
to the circus dweller, as the strong
salt wind to a habitant OF the coast:
the unusual element lay in the boy
beside him. Man. he refused to
acknowledge him.

not be kept In the ripe condition very
long before deterioration and decay set
in. In still other cases. az with the ba-
mana. the fruit may be picked and
transported advantageously before the
final ripening has begun: and this pro-
cess can then be controlled in the mar
ket and home as the conditions de-
mand.
The physical changes, Ike the vari-
alton In color Of ripening fruits. are
familiar. since they are evident to the
senses: but these alterations are mere
ly indicative Of changes In the chemical
makeup Of the fruits under the COM
ditions which determine ripening. Heat,
moisture. air and light may all partici-
pate in determining the characteristic
changes that ensue. Laboratory inves-
legations in recent years have given
clearer indications Of what takes place.
Among the changes are the transfer.
nation Of starch into sugar, the con-
version Of soluble tannin compounds
with their astringent properties into tn
soluble forms. the actual lessening OF
the quantity Of acid. or the masking Of
the acid flavor by the accumulation Of
and the increase and storage Of water
in the form Of Juice.
With the growing knowledge Of what
the ripening of fruit really involves.
says The Journal Of the American
Medical Association. we are certain to
acquire better ideas Of what q prop
erly ripened product should really be.
The fact that unripened (winter) APP
pies are unfit for consumption in the
early fall, because instead OF sugar
they contain a large amount Of raw
starch which will disappear with the
''mellowing'' process, will be under
stood in a more intelligent way than
has usually been the case. Further
more, the facilitation or other regula-
ton of the natural processes OF ripening
by artificial means will make it possible
to dispel the limitations hitherto placed
by seasons or distance. The beginnings
are already apparent in the practices
of modern commerce.
