GREAT TURKEY REGION.
Thanksgiving Bird FIourishes Better In
. Southwest Texas Than Elsewhere.

Thanksgiving Bird Flourishes Better In
J Southwest Texas Than Elsewhere.
The turkey hourishes in southwest
Texas as in no other part of the Unit
ed States. There is an abundance of
natural food upon which the birds
thrive wonderfully. There is no lack
Of wide ranges for their ~foraging, and
the climate is so mild that no shelter
is necessary. But turkeys were not
raised to any extent In that region I'M
til the two cold storage and slaughter
Ing plants were erected at Cuero. Then
Cuero became the turkey center of the
United States, more dressed turkeys
being shipped u of the town than
from any other place in the country.
From the LIST Of November to the last
OF January the plants are in operation
day and night.
The largest turkey drive ever seen
in the United States took place into
Cuero when 5000 were herded by a
dealer and driven thirteen miles. 1t
took the drovers thirty hours to deliv-
er the turkeys. The birds took a notion
to roost in a grove about four miles
from town, and nothing would induce
them to continue the march to the
Strengthening pens.
When the birds are well behaved and
meet with no strange obstacles on the
road the drovers have no difficulty, but
when a turkey drive becomes really
frightened a cattle stampede Is a tame
affair in comparison.
The greatest cause of trouble for
the drovers is the turkeys habit Of Sc
lecting its roosting time without re-
gard to the time Of day. particularly IL
the sky be overcast and the birds are
passing through a wooded stretch Of
road. In cloudy weather the drovers
carefully avoid the bottom lands and
wooded sections, where the darkness
is apt to fool the birds into believing
that the sun is sinking.
Detours of miles are sometimes made
to avoid such conditions. Once the
birds decide to stop for the night or
day 1t is impossible to force them to
cont1nue the march. Along the most
commonly used roads for the drives
there are regular roosting places at
convenient intervals, which the drov-
ers always try to reach before dusk.

"LET US GIVE THANKS
UNTO THE LORD"

The ancient Hebrews kept the
feast of thanksgiving with great
rejoicing and religious ceremony.
They called it the feast of in
gathering
In Leviticus we ARE told that
the Lord spake unto Moses and
said:
I'VE shall do no seryile work
therein. and also on the fifteenth
day of the seventh month. when
We have gathered in the fruit of
the land. We shall keep a feast
unto the Lord. days. and
ye shall rejoice before the Lord
your God seven days"
Again in Exodus is mentioned
"the feast of harvest. the first
fruits of thy labors. which thou
hast sown in the field. and the
feast of ingathering. which is the
end of the year. when thou hast
gathered IN thy labors out of the
field"
All of these feasts occurred
after harvest time. when mate
rial blessings were both abun-
dant and obvious and the people
not only had the disposition, but
the time, to be thankful after
the labor Of crop gathering was
over.
In these thanksgiving procla-
nations the people were com
manded to take holiday, to feast
and to rejoice. and all the procla-
nations since that day down to
those annually issued by our
governors have not improved
upon this.

When You Select Your Turkey.

In selecting your turkey or chicken
choose a bird that is heavy in proper
ton to its size. Avoid those fowls that
have a prominent breastbone. and pass
over those having coarse Skin and rough
scales on the legs, for these show old
age. Select a bird that has clean.
smooth, yellow feet. and legs, smoist
and delicate skin and a plump breast.

Moreaux turned calmly to Branton

shrug of his shoulders and half
smile upon his cameolike features,
but with none in his eyes, added:

CHAPTER vi.
The Dead Thief.

The deal involving sS1 500 in cash
which had taken G. Mortimer Bran
ton to Moreaux's, has no place here.
Moreaux's house was merely a con-
venient location for the transaction.
and Moreaux's interest in it was
only that of a witness. Bingham
took out more funds with him to re-
place that which was lost. Branton
remained overnight with his host.
and late in the evening Shaughnessy
reappeared at The Fells.
He was shown into the greenroom
where the two gentlemen received
him. He laid a white envelope
upon the table in front of Bran
ton. 1t had two pin~hcles through
one end of it. Also, he put down q
copy of the Herald of that morning.
1t else had two pin-holes through the
bottom of the third column of the first
page of the news-section.

flush was succeeded by an expression
of amused contempt accompanied by
a half-smile.

BABY CAMEL
ADOPTS DONKEY
ONE OF THE UNUSUAL FEA-
TURES WITH THE WORLD AT
HOME is A BABY CAMEL THAT
HAS NEVER SEEN A DESERT
WHY 1T ABANDONED MOTHER.

"Bedelia," a ~4-weeks-old baby camel
in n Of the World at Home shows
at the North Dakota State fair, has
never seen a desert in all her life.
Neither has her mother and yet, de-
spite a lifelong residence in the Unit
ed States and an ancestry of good
American born camels behind her,
"Beedlia" has disregarded all the laws
of environment.
"Bedelia" was born four weeks ago
in the prosaic city of Sioux City, Ia.
When she was only a week old. the
baby camel left it's mother for a big
donkey jack, which forms a part of
the World at Home shows, too. The
camel Jays no attention to its mother
whatever and more explanations have
been offered for the reason that were
offered for the solar system in the
middle ages.
A. A. Powers, publicity man for the
shows, said, That baby camel is
ashamed of it's mother-won't have
anything to do with her" Others Of
fered explanations. 1t remained for
Bahia Del Garian, an Armenian who
has travelled with many a caravan in
Egypt and who knows the ways of a
camel well, to give the reason. In the
old country, where they have cara
500 camels. A man who wants to take
out a caravan always buys a big jack
to lead them. No one knows the rea-
son for it, but it is a fact just the
same" he concluded in broken Eng
liSh.

BULL MOOSE CONVENTION WAS AD-

MAN WHO WAS HERE DURING
AUDITORIUM RIOT.

With thirty-six in attendance, the

vention opened this morning at 10
| O'clock at the Sons of Norway hall on
North Broadway.
A goodly portion of the morning ses-
sion was given over to listening to an
address by a Mr.. Greeley of Chicago, a
| representative of the Chicago Equity
Cooperative exchange, a sympathetic
exchange of the Lotus exchange in
Minneapolis.
Mr.. Greeley was one of the speakers
here last winter at the meeting of the
Lotus society which followed the Tri-
State Grain Growers convention and
which resulted in a near-riot partici-
pated in by George S.. Lotus, j. M.
Anderson and others.
the bull moosers on the subject of
grain elevators and the terminal sys-
tenn and somewhat against the Chicago
board of trade and the Minneapolis
chamber of commerce.
He was introduced by Chairman
Turner, who presided over the CONVEX
ton. From this fact 1t will probably
be gathered by most people that the
bull moosers are sympathetic with, II
not endorsing the Lotus plans.
Among the leaders In attendance
Aaker, M. L. Engen, A. Y. More, the
national committeeman, n State
Chairman Turner.
1t is understood more will be In at
tendance this afternoon. Denials are
still being heard that the bull moosers
will join the democrats this fall In the

BANDS SERENADE
FORUM OFFICE
DAILY CONCERTS BY SPLENDID
BANDS MUCH APPRECIATED
DURING BUSY WEEk-MUSIC
EQUAL TO ANY BANDS OF THE

bands ever, you ought to come to This
office while 1t is being serenaded by
one Of the splendid musical aggrega-
tons that is visiting the fair.
No work was so Important but what
it could be put aside. and no story
was too big but that it could be left
for a moment while every person in

The Mayville Cornet band of thirty
pieces, under the direction Of T.. J.
Cordes, the World at Home band and
u own s%uperbas. the Fargo band,
under the skillful direction of Harry
M. Rudd, all honored the office. and
the music was much appreciated.
There is nothing SO inspiring as the
music of a band and a great minister
has declared that to him heaven was
one great big brass band. The music
which has been furnished by the state
bands during fair week has been #
the highest order. 1t is doubtful If
anywhere in the country could bet
ter bands Of music be found than in

preciated is shown by the excellent
way in which they are supported.
