The La1ue County Herald expresses
our sentiment when it says: 1--WE
hope every person in this town and
this whole community will be eating
turker on Christmas day. Some may
not care for turkey as well as for a fat
chicken, but we hope they clean up a
turkey just the same. We have come
to look upon Christmas as national
turkey day, and we don't know of any
thing in the feed line that makes the
average fellow feel quite so good as
the knowledge that he is leaving the
spiked bones of fine large turkey be-
hind him. So here's hoping the tur.
key grsces your own table.
