THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
Butchers Over the Country Say the
Festive Bird is Scarce.

Along about this time every year
most everyone hears about the
great shortage of turkeys, still
there always seems enough to go
around-to the fellow who has the
price. In Pennsylvania the report
is one-fourth larger crop, but Texas,
the great turkey state reports a
shortage of from ten to fifty per
cent. Many other states report a
shortage.
The main reason for the scarcity
of turkeys is said to be that the
spring was unusually wet in all
parts OF the United States and a wet
spring means bad year for tur-
keys as the young ones drown by the
thousands. No bird is more likely
to drown than young turkey, and
with the great amount of rain all
over the country it is an accepted
fact that many young turkeys never
progressed far beyond the egg.

the PRIESTS residence was moved
from its foundation and partially
wrecked, the front of Roberts K
Baier's dray barn was demolished

NO FAT IN SOFT CORN.
Such is Opinion OF c. II. Reese, Har-

In the opinion of G. Fl. Reese, OF
Union, well-known Hardin county
farmer, there is not much feeding
value in soft corn. Mr.. Reese, who
was in the city Thursday, said that
a month ago he had put fifty hogs
into patch of corn that had been
caught by the frost, and that the

did when they were put on the feed.

The church, school, priests resi-
dence and most OF the other build
ings damaged are located in the
northwest part of town though the
barn so badly damaged is located on
Main street in the heart of the bust
ness section.
The full extent of the damage
done in the country is not known,
but it is believed no one was injured,
though it is thought probable some
live stock was lost.

New York May THE Cunard liner Lusitania,
one of the fastest ships aioat, torpedoed and
sunk this afternoon off the coast of Ireland, ten
miles south of Kinsale.
Aboard were ,253 passengers, in addition to
the crew, together totalling 1000. She sailed from
New York on Saturday and carried in addition to
her own large passenger list, 163 passengers trans
ferred to her from the Anchor liner Cameronia.
The news here of the sinking was announced by
the local offices of the Cunard line, based cable
adVices from the home office at Liverpool.
A London despatch from Liverpool to the Ex-
change Telegraph Co.. says it is not known how
many passengers were saved. This followed other
reports that all passengers saved and the Lusi-
tania was being beached.
The first intimation that the Lusitania had
been sunk when the Cunard Steamship COM
pany announced it had received an unconfirmed re-
port from it's English agents.
The Lusitania sailed Saturday from New York,
and was due in Liverpool today. When she sailed
she had 1900 passengers aboard. They are re-
ported as being safe. Before she sailed, letters
anonymously signed were received carrying warn
ing to the passengers that they would meet dis
aster. A warning was also printed in papers say
ing vessels flying the flag of Great Britain were in
danger of destruction. These advertisements were
signed German Imperial Embassy"
Kinsale, off which the Lusitania was torpedoed,
is seaport of Ireland thirteen miles southwest of
Cork. It lies near the entrance to st. Georges
channel, between Ireland and England through
which transatlantic vessels pass on their way to
Liverpool.
The Dow & Jones Co. ticker service in report
from London declares the Lusitania was beached,
and the passengers and crew, according to Lloyds,
were saved.
A despatch from Queenstown timed 459 p. m.
today reads: cold Head, Kinsale, about twenty
boats of all sorts, belonging to the Lusitana are in
the vicinity of where she was sunk. About if-
teen boats are making for the spot to the rescue.
