TURKEYS HOLD FAIR

A visitor to the Ohio County Fair
grounds these days is greeted by n
gobble. gobble, gobble, or a counk
chounk, chounk, and the natural in
stincts of the visitor are Immediate

IL he is a sportsman he will instinct
lively feel for his piece; if an old time
darkey he will also slyly feel for his
piece, but II IL happens to be fair
timid maiden with red dress on We
all feel for her peace, for they do
say those gobblers don't admire car
dinal. There are about 1000 tur-
keys in the grounds now and before
Christmas there will be perhaps p
O0O. They are the property of w.
Il. Ellis & Bro, Hartford Produce
Merchants. and will later be shipped
to the New York market One car
OF turkeys bought by this firm were
unloaded in New York Wednesday.
Handling a large flock of turkeys
is no small job and those now max
ing their home in the Fair grounds
are causing their owners considera-
BILE worry and expense. The casual
ty list the first night was %. II is
now 35 and will likely be over so
before the beginning of the journey
TO New York At present prices this
is a loss of over $500. Guards must
also be kept in the grounds both
day and night And feed-did you
ever see hungry turkey eat?
Quite a few visitors have been at
tracted to the fair grounds to see
the flock. There is something go
ing on every minute, too, at this
fair There are usually from two
to four good fights on but no bet
ting is allowed. Late i'm the even

clumsy birds are making their way
to the buildings and tall beeches for
the nights rest.

Chicago represent these de-
fendants." said Attorney Isadore
Plotke when the names of Frank
Winters and Daniel Cunningham
were called in Judge LaBuy's court.
The men were charged with steal
ing clothing from the shop of Mar
Gus & Co., tailors, at 1902 Argyle

"If you are attorney for these
men, perhaps you don't know they
stole your overcoat?" interposed a
detective.
"stole my overcoat?" gasped the
lawyer.

NEW YORK HOUSEWIVES BOY
COLT EGGS TO REDUCE PRICE
SET BY TRUSTS.
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
National Housewives League Asks
Wilson For Regulation of Coun-
try's Food Supply.

New York, Nov. 2S.-New York
City's fight to reduce the high cost
of living began in earnest to-day
with a boycott on eggs by thousands
of housewives. This was followed
with a direct appeal by the National
Housewives League to President
Wilson for the regulation of the coun-
trys food supply, and meetings OF
Federal. State and city officials and
investigating committees, as we'll as
various civic organizations at which
resolutions were adopted looking to
a speedy readjustment of conditions.
Coincidental with the egg boycott,
there was break in the poultry mar
ket. the price of turkeys dropping
from to cents a pound.
Virtually every branch of the mu-
nicipal government was at work to-
day in an effort to, find solution to
the food problem. A statement is
sued by Israel Feinberg, president of
the Board or Coroners, declared tnat
1.-THE present high cost of living is
directly reflected in an increase in
the number of suicides, deaths from
lack of proper nourishment and birth
control"
The eliminating feature of the
days activities was the passage by
the Board of Aldermen of resolu-
ton providing that the Committee
ON General Welfare be directed to re-
port as early as possible "a practical
plan for investigating such condi-
lions, with a view of adopting such
ordinances, recommending such leg
islation, or taking such steps as may
be best calculated to remedy the
evil"

TURKEY WILL LET
AMERICANS LEAVE
INDIGNATION AMONG OFFICIALS
CAUSED BY PRACTICAL IN
TERNNIENT.

Washington, Nov. 2S.---Word that
the Turkish Government has rescind-
ed its previous agreement to allow
several hundred Americans to leave
the Turkish empire by the way of
Jaffa reached the State Department
to-day from Ambassador Elkins at
Constantinople. The Ambassador was
informed that the Americans cannot
be permitted to depart because of
military necessity and that the Of
fetal who made the previous agree
ment spoke without authority.
Diplomacy seems to have been ex-
hausted in the situation, and it is
not known what action may be TAX
en- in an effort to bring Turkey to
terms. The practical internment of
the Americans is source of anx-
iety to their friends and indignation
TO the precedented situation, which
will require most delicate handling.
The exact number of persons 'af-
fected cannot be learned, owing to
the fact that direct communication
with shore is not permitted. Nor is
that known what is the proportion
of native Americans to those who
have taken out first papers or be-
come fully naturalized. Many are
said to be naturalized Syrians and
Armenians, though a number of ma
tive American missionaries are
known to be included.
The American cruiser Des Moines,
now at Alexandria is due shortly at
Jaffa, where, after unloading Red
Cross supplies, she had been expect
ed to take on the refugees. II is
understood now, however. that Off
GERS from the vessel will not even be
allowed to land to investigate condi-
lions.

A|RPLANE MAKES
DAYLIGHT raid
GERMAN MACHINE DROPS BOMBS
IN BRITISH CAPITAL MUIR
ING SCORE.
zEPPELINS SHOT DOWN
London Reports Say Two Air Fight
ers Brought Down During North
east Coast Raid.

London, Nov. 2S.-Following a
raid over the northeast coast of Eng
land Monday, in which two Zeppelins
were destroyed, their crews perish
ing, a German airplane. flying at a
great height, this morning passed
over London and dropped six bombs
on the capital, according to an Off
cial statement issued this afternoon.
More than a score of persons were
injured. one, a woman, dying of
shock, and promiscuous though mi
nor property damage caused by the
raids, in which a total of LOG bombs
was dropped.
Two Zeppelins were brought down
by anti-aircraft guns. and their
crews were drowned, according to
the official London reports.
1t is generally assumed that an
airplane brought down at Dunkirk
was identical with the London raid
er. It's unchallenged arrival APP
parently was due to the haze over
London and the fact that the roar OF
the street traffic drowned the sound
of its motors. Some persons claim
to have seen II, but the height at
which it scared was so great as TO
make it impossible to distinguish it
from one OF the British machines,
which are now as familiar sights as
the clouds or the sun.
The bombs dropped seem 10 have
been very small and filed with shrap-
mel; the walls of the houses in the
neighborhood where they fell are
pocLeted with small holes. Three
bombs fell on the roofs of houses and
one smashed a chimney stack. Three
women seated in an upper room UNI
der the stack were not hurt. The
furnishings of the room were not
disturbed. Nearly all the other dam
age consisted of the breakage of
windows.

COOPERATIVE TOBACCO POOL
Is SOLD TO TUCK 4 CO., OF
LOUISVILLE.
FARMERS MEET MONDAY
Will in All Probability Ratify Sale
Practically No Opposition Ex-
cept in Daviess.

The contract for the sale of the
1916 tobacco crop of the Farmers
Cooperative Tobacco Association
to Tuck d Company, of Louisville,
was signed by both parties concern
ed in OwensDoro Tuesday. All that
remains TO be done now to complete
the sale is Tor the farmers of the
association to meet and ratify the ac-
ton OF their committee. President
Ford has called meetings of the
county organizations for Monday af-
ternoon at l o'clock to decide what
the final sep shall be. The meeting
for Ohio county will be held at the
court house in Hartford; Dayiess
county at Greensboro; Hancock at
Hawesville. and Mclean at Cal
houn.
AT these meetings the propositions
made by the prospective buyers will
be explained in full to the poolers
and they will be asked to say wheth-
er or not they are willing TO accept
a price on their weed of $12 to 81
for leaf; $40 to 81 for Tugs and IS
for all trash. 1t is practically GER
tain that the sale will be ratified.
We understand there is little, or no,
opposition outside of Daviess coun-
ty and that the dissention there is
confined mostly to the big growers.
1t is reported that the Ross-yaughn
Company will handle a large per
cent of the pool if Tuck & Company
become the owners. In that case the
Hartford warehouse now leased by
that company will be several times
filled with tobacco during the sea-
son. The Ross-Vaughn Company
has between 100000 and 1000, 900
pounds of the weed bought for de-
livery here now. Several loads have
already been received. The other
points of delivery in Ohio county
will likely be Fordsville and Mar
rows.
Under the contract signed in Ow-
ensboro Tuesday Tuck & Company
will retain so cents on the 100
pounds from each farmer until he has
delivered all OF his crop through the
pool. This is done. it is said. as a
precautionary measure to require the

sTFORD OHIO COUNTY, KY, FRIDAY, DECEM Der ], 1916.

Sam has long feared some other ma
tion might buy this strip and build
a canal in competition with that of
Panama. To prevent this the Unit
ed States bought this year for $3,-
100000 the entire canal route rights
across Nicaragua, also a naval sta
tion near each end of the possible
canal.
This and other large American in
fiuences are placing the affairs OF
Nicaragua on a more sound basis.
In future, for example, it will be i'm
possible for a miscreant like the re-
cent President Zelaya to be allow
ed to tyrannize the land. Zelaya,
nicknamed the Unspeakable, who
had his score of wives and forty-five
children and hundreds of murdered
victims to his credit, used to say:
THE Nicaraguans understand only
harsh measures and they shall not
want for them" During his seven
teen years of control the country
went through sixteen wars.
