yesterday. it is his desire, however,
EtO call special attention to the pa

I Postmaster Leavy called attention
TO az bulletin issued by Third Assis-
tants Postmaster General A. Nj. Dock
bry in which it is stated that the fail
cure to prepay the proper amount OF

TURKEY COMES
HIGH THIS TIME
BRUNSWICK FOLK WILL HAVE TO
DIG DEEP FOR THEIR FAV-
ORlTE HOLIDAY DISH.

Turkeys for Thanksgiving and pro
badly the holiday season as well will
rule at the highest prices ever quot
ed. Dealers assert that quotations
Will range from As cents to so GEMS
per pound and the supply will be any
thing but plentiful even at this new
and rather sensational record nigh
level Here turkeys will probably
command 80 cents. while gobblers
will go at As cents. In previous sea-
sons the quotations have never gone
beyond 30 cents per pound with an
average Of % cents per pound. 4
1t seems rather worthy OF note that
Uncle Sam has not been altogether
consistent in this matter of food con
servation over which there has been
;u much talk recently. for while the
Dopulace has been urged to pledge
Itself to rigid economy the govern
ment has gone into the Western mar
kets and bought over million pounds
of turkeys at the unprecedented val
ne of 43 cents per pound. the idea
being to give the men at the front an
cold time turkey dinner for Thanks
giving.
Local dealers have expressed lie
belief that whatever supplies Il tur.
'eys may be available Tor Thanks.
giving must como ON the Western
n f,rkets. this bei"g due to the fact
tl'c number OF these fowl. raised ii
the zone upon which Brunswick
draws for supplies will be this year
purely negligible quantity In
former years Georgia and portions of
South Carolina especially referring to
he sea islands, have been able to
iurn sh the major portion CT the hu!-
day fowls, but III rcc"n5 times the Of
ferings have grown smaller, the ma
tive stocks of last year being SO small
in a comparative sense, as to be very
noticeable.
Chickens too are scarce and I'M
usally high in values, and native pork
is very scarce, indeed, with quota
lions exactly double those of twelve
months ago. The outlook in conse-
quence is that only the very we'll to
do element OF the city'S population
will be able to have turkey. or chick

Thanksgiving.

discussing the clerical strike si5ua
ton, Mr.. kenly declined to do so
stating that Mr.. Forester was no;
IN employee CT the line and had moth
ng to do with the operation of the

Wilmington (N. c. Dispatch.
General McWade then asked if
he president would object to meet
ing with the clerks. Mr.. Knely re
piled that it had always been the
policy of the company to confer with
IS employees generally on all impor
tant matters, and that he would
write General McWade with refer
ence to the matter. Early in the al
ternoon Mr. Kenly stated that the
Coast Line employs approximately
$500 men in the various offices OF
the system; up 20 last night 275 had
left the employment of the company
and that 2lS of the vacancies had al
