| rrally,' says Or. Mary T. pcnninptnn.
the expert in food research in the federal
bureau of chemistry "Christmas is the
time for turkey. Green goose Is tho
Thanksgiving bird. and is generally used
in Europe whore St. Martins day is rele-
brated 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 con.
ditions do not prevail over the United
states as n whole"
The family which turns from turkey
to chicken, pork or beef will find prices
uniformly advanced. Hens show an aver
age increase Of eight cents a pound; pork.
two to eight cents: rib roasts. two 70 "a
cents; sweet potatoes are about the same
price as last year, hut a white potato
crop 100,oo0Ooo bushels below last years
ana dangerous plant diseases abroad
which have checked imports have forced
an Increase there. Apples oranges and
grapes are scarce because Of short
crop. Cranherrics with Il normal crop
are little higher than last year. Flour
and sugar are uniformly cheaper, and
butter shows no comparative advance.
Eggs however, from incomplete To-
turns dated November Il from principal
cities. show Increases ranging from three
to 2i cents a dozen over last years

The Farmer.

BY Roy M, Moulton.
Says old man Haskins, with a frown,
That there amt much nse in movin'
to town, - -. ---s1zu
And crowdin' into four-room fiat
Where there amt huff room to hang
yer hat.
Waere eggs cost about a nickle apiece,
And butter is about like axlegrease.
We gotta admit there's lot of charm
In livin' right out on the good old
farm.
When the wife and the children want
to go
And see a good movin' picture show,
When they're shown pertickler
fancy reel,
1 kin git 'em there quick in the oat-
mobile.
The town folks amt got nuthin' on us,
In spite of all their feathers and fuss.
We got good plumbin all through
our place,
And fine washstands fer your hands
and face.
A bathtub, too, we can fill right
quick.
And we don't have to 60 jump in the
crick.
So fur as the days news is concerned,
There's burned few things that we
haven't learned
About as sudden as one two three,
Fer we've got a party phone, you see,
And we never are late in gettin our
mails,
For tue rural delivery it never fails.
We do all the things the city folks
do,
Our children 60 to the colleges, too.
And there ism burned newfangled
idee,
That we don't grab quick as quick
kin be.
We've got all the latest in ma
chimes,
We git all the high-tone magazines.
We've got new thoughts in our old
think tanks,
And quite lot of dough in the city
banks.
When it comes to eats, why, we have
to laff,
We have got them all skinned by a
mile and half.
For ''rubes'' you can no longer put
us down,
'Rubes" nowadays are all Twin in
town.

What the Farmer
Receives

Had you ever stopped to
think why it is, that for all
your sales of grain, hay,
stock Or produce you receive
bank check in payment? Has it
occurred to you that the purchaser
of your farm products takes your re-
ceipt for every dollar paid you in
this manner?
If business men find a check &C
count a necessity in their transactions
with the public, such an account is
surely important in your own affairs.
When you pay your bills in cash you
are running risks of bad memory
'careleSsneSS, short change" and
chance to have to pay a second time.
"A check account eliminates all such
chances of errOr-for your check on
this bank is record in writing, wit
