with great success there.
Each teacher at Eastern has been
given a certain number of pupils for

directly under them in class work, but
they act in an advisory capacity
throughout the four years of the pu-
pills high school life.
On form provided by Dr. Willard
S. Small. principal of the school, the
teacher keeps Il record for each pupil

Officially the patron saints" are
known as special advisers. But the
manner in which they have been able

sobriquet, which may In time become
more widely known throughout the

schools adopt the plan.

high school boys and girls has been
felt frequently. Children entering the

This is one of the things which the
plan seeks to accomplish for the

Unexpected Heavy Local Receipts
Cause Drop in Wholesale Prices.

Dressed turkeys from the country
were received by the local wholesale
dealers last night and this morning in
unexpected quantities. and as a conse-
quence prices in the wholesale market
dropped about cents a pound. Most
of the retailers had stocked up for the
Thanksgiving market earlier in the
week, when prices ranged from 20 to
23 cents pound, but the abundant sup
ply and drop in the wholesale market t
is expected to have the effect of keep
ing the market down, and this after
noon and tomorrow. while extra choice
birds will bring 27 to % cents retail.
good turkeys can be bought at rs cents
a pound and perhaps lower.
The cool weather of the early part of
the week caused the turkey ratsers to
kill and ship, and this placed the abun-
dant supply on the market.
