Do you know the difference in the price
Of your Thanksgiving dinner this year?
Look below at the prices given out by
the dealers in Center Market yesterday,
and see II they agree with the prices you
had intended paying for the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner.
There has been a big jump in some
commodities.
Turkey has increased from to cents
a pound over last years figures; chicken
Is selling now for 25 and 30 cents the
pound, whereas the ducks and geese are
the only fowl that have not gone UP
with the rest Of the market.
Butter has gone higher and there are
no indications that the top has been
reached; the best creamery is so cents a
the very best are quoted at 65 cents q
dozen. This time last year they were IS
and so cents a dozen.
Rabbits are now on the market, but
there Is no great demand for them at
the present time For this reason they
have come down a tribe, you can buy
them anywhere from Is to 50 cents. But
these figures for rabbits are only tenn
porary. As soon as they come into their
own after Thanksgiving they may take
big jump.
Vegetables are still very dear, and
predictions are that they are also going
higher. Irish potatoes are 50 and 90 cents
a peck, sweet potatoes, as well as the
whites. are scarce; the dealers want from
40 to SO cents q peck for their sweet po-
tatoes.

SMALL COINS SCARCE.
Treasury Having Hard Time Sup,
plying Big Demand.

The question Of small coins and small
denominations of paper currency and
gold Is causing Treasury officials much
concern. They state the demand this
year Is far above normal, and as the
holiday season approaches, the demand
increases.
The Philadelphia mint is now $114. .0Oc
behind in orders for dimes. Quarters and
$50 gold coins are also in great demand.
The new quarters and half dollars, which
it was hoped could be put In circulation
for the holiday trade, cannot now be In
troduced until the first of the year, 1t is
believed.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S RECORD.

Whether he knew It all before, or whether he
learned some Of 1t since he took office, whether II
came from books, advisers, or was dug out OF his
inner Consciousness, the wisdom of Wilson has
brought US progress and prosperity. The people
made no mistake when they elected the school
master president. Either, teacher knew, or tcacn-
er knew how 10 find out, and he got results.
Since President Wilson took Office the bank de-
posits OF the United States increased "a per cent
our trade balance 227 per cent; agricultural eX-
ports AL per cent manufactured exports l55 per
cent our farm lands are l2.7 per cent more vau-
able, our industries have increased the value Of
their output over nine billion dollars or 4l.2 per
CEN and carry on their pay rolls 23.2 per cent
more employees. All this in the past four years.
And it is not mainly the prosperity Of the first
two years Of the Wilson administration because
in the past two years the wealth Of the United
States has increased $4l ,O00,000,000.
When the Democrats point to an increase OF
81, 4OOOOO,OO0 in manufactured products let the
Republicans be careful about advancing the argu-
ment that the munitions business has been large
and that what Democratic good times we have had
is war prosperity. The munitions exports have
been only / per cent Of our manufactured prod
ucts, leaving the splendid total of an increase in
manufactured products, without including NUM-
tion3, OF $8,92O,O0O,000,
The Federal Reserve Act stops paniCs the Ru-
raj Credits Act gives the farmer government back
ing the Income Tax Law makes the rich pay their
fair share of the expenses Of the government
which protects them and their property, the Fed
eral Trade Commission Act protects the public
and the business men, and the Clayton Act makes
plain, certain and just, the obscure Sherman Anti
Trust Law. Then there are the Good Roads Law,
the Smith-Leyer Agricultural Education Act and
the Child Labor Act, whose benefits are explained
by their titles And we now have egisla-
ton as to labor disputes which win, it is hoped,
remove the threat Of the greatest strike of his
tory, and end the railroad trouble.
Constructive legislation of greater amount and
value in three years and half than the Republ.
can administration gave us in twenty years, pre-
paredness, peace with foreign nations and pros
perity at home--that's the Wilson record Presi-
dent Wilson has in his policies kept the ten COM
mandments and observed the golden rule, at the
same time enabling his fellow citizens to accumu-
late the Almighty Dollar honestly; he has estab-
lished justice between the rich and the poor in
spired more good new laws than anybody ever
thought of before and has enforced existing laws
without fear or favor.

PARTY VS.. PEOPLE.

7 There is too much party and too l.ttie f2onle
in our American scheme OF government. F&fCS
rules and the people are ruled, whereas the peo
pie themselves should do the ruling.
Two distinct classes of people compose the
voting population, those who vote blindly wlC
their party and those who prefer the man OF IN.
.tegrity and ability The latter are generally re
ferred to as independent voters.
The blind partisan gives but little heed to the
real qualities of the man in the selection OF can
didate The one requisite in his eyes is the abl-
ity to corral votes.
When our primary laws were enacted they
were designed, or at least so it was said, to give
the people an opportunity to express their indl-
vdual preferences in the selection Of candidates
for public Office
But the law does nothing of the kind Under
is provisions the politicians are still in the sad
die and driving the people to the polls almost as
,elentlessly as in the palmy days of old
But few men dare to aspire to office without
he 0. K. of the political leaders, and men who
iecure the endorsement of those leaders are but
90 often subservient to the will of those leaders
Political states are made up behind closed
loors and in secret conferences, and the voice Of
he people is neither desired nor invited. 1t is
gnored if it is given.
The result is that when primary day comes
round the people, who fondly pirate Of their SOW
reign rights, go blindly and obediently to the
oils and vote their choice between certain can
idates selected for them by the political bosses
That, in nutshell, is the plain reason why
,ur high offices are filled from year to year with
Joliticians instead of statesmen.
We repeat. there is entirely too much party
md too little people in our misnamed republican
Orm of government, or democratic form of gov
,rnment, whichever you prefer to term it.
The professional politicians are firmly seated
n the saddles of both political parties and there
hey will stay and rule with ruthless hand until
he people themselves muster UP sufficient cour-
.ge to throw them out
But will that day ever come?
The commonwealth., 1916-09-06
MOULDING THEM INTO MEN.

Have you ever watched W0odturners take up {
rough piece Of wood, run it through first one
lathe and then another, and have it come out a
polished and perfect piece of furniture or other
article of daily use?
That is exactly what the officers of the army
are doing with the young men Of the National
Guard now on the Mexican border
Doctors and thinking men generally admit
that military training is the greatest possible aid
to intellectual, physical and moral development.
The daily exercise gradually works the raw ano
awkward youth into physically perfect and self
reliant man; discipline implants in his mind the
necessity and the desrability of respect for his
superiors and for his fellow men, the intelligence
and the high standard of morality maintained by
his preceptors elevates him to higher and more
honorable plane Of manhood; as the months 90 by
ne becomes more and more man among men.
Young men who went to the border with their
regiments will come home with higher purposes
in life, with greater determination to meet and
overcome the numerous obstacles in the pathway
to success, and radiate to others their own newly
acquired polish self-reIianee, forcefulness and the
will to accomplish that which they undertake.
If you have relative or friends on the bor-
der, rest easily on his account He will return
better man than when he marched away.

100, 100000 BUsHEL CORN CROP IN 1917
Is SLOGAN.

Zone hundred million bushels Of corn in 1917
10 celebrate the one hundredth anniversary OF
Mississippi Is the slogan adopted by the state
demonstration forces and corn club workers in
their fall campaign.
According to assistant state agent, C. A. Cobb,
the prospects are that the 1917 corn acreage will
be greatly increased and if properly selected seed
is planted one hundred million bushel crop can
easily be realized with good seed" he contin-
ues. IAN increase in yield of from to bushels
to the acre may be expected the first year.
In this connection Mr.. Cobb is sending out the
following helpful suggestions on selecting seed
corn in the field this fall:
/. The seed stalk should be from 8 to 10 feet
tall. t-.
2. The base of the stalk should be large and
somewhat fiat
3. The blades of the seed stalk should be
broad and long.
4. The seed stalk should taper gently from
the base to the tassel.
s. In all prolific varieties there should be at
least tive fully developed ears to each tassel.
6. The ears on the seed stalk should be well
placed, one on each side OF the stalk, about four
feet from the ground.
7. The seed ears should be borne upon short
stout shanks four to five inches long that permit
the ears to hang down.
8. The stalk from which seed ears are to be
selected should not occupy more than normal
room, should not stand at the end of skips nor at
the end of row. Select a stalk that has fought
its way and won.
O. Every stalk in the vicinity of the seed
stalk should be well fruited. If barren or weak
stalks stand near a normal stalk, the ears from
the normal stalk will not be suitable for seed.
10. Be careful to select stalks that are free
from disease and that do not stand near diseased
stalks. ,-"A
II. 1t will be noticed in going through the
field that those stalks that LAY by" last or that
remain growing despite wet or dry spells, are the
ones that bear the heaviest ears. This persistent
quality is certainly to be desired.
II. Every seed ear should be snugy covered
by the shuck.
