MAURY C0UHTl'S
TURKEY CROP IS
"OAtY' s2OO,OOO.OO
THE THANKSGIVING SHIPMENTS
REACHED $4,000 WITH THREE
FlFTHs OF CROP LEFT.
QUALITY BEST EVER KNOWN
Only Side Issue With the Farmers
Wvcs--lf They Made Business Of
Turkey Raising There Is No Telling
What Could Be Done.

Never before in the history of the
county Las there been such turkey
crop in Maury county, said prom
inent dealers this morning in discuss
ing the outlook of the turkey for the
Christmas trade.
"We dealers estimate that we have
shipped from 10000 to $500 head of
turkeys and there is still three-ffths
of the crop in the county. We have
paid out to the growers about $780,
900 for these turkeys, and it is safe
to say that there is still another $780,
600 to be marketed with an abundance
of supply Tor the growers to raise from
next spring."
The average price paid for turkeys
for the Thanksgiving trade was about
$3.50 PEI head, and the turkeys offered
for the market were OF the very high
est type OF goyl, They were all fat
and dressed ont elegantly. 1t usually
takes cold weather to fatten the fur
key, but this year they were fat be-
fore the cold weather came, conse-
qnently, the growers have marketed
their birds without any extra cost to
them.
Indications are that the market will
hn or, lou, 20 II, ,s..t. a,
owing TO the fact that vast amounts
of the dressed fowls are frozen, rather
rather than throw them on a glutted
market Twenty-Five cents seems to
be the prevailing price for them now
and more than likely this will be the
high price for the fowls UP to and after
Christmas unless there is a great
change. But even at that price there
is still more than 100000 worth of
birds Ia the county for market.
Turkey raising is merely side line
with the farmer, and is usually the
business of the wife of the farmer.
Just as a side line 100000 is not to
be sneezed at. but for the past sever
al years the wives of the farmers of
Marry county have been pulling down
large SIMS of money for their tur-
keys, but 1918 seems to have been the
banner year, both as to production and
price and quality.

RESIDENTS Of
IRON CREEK NEED
A BETTER TRAIL

I Owing to the great difficulties of
freighting over the present trail, the
supplies necessary for the develop
ment of the copper properties in
the Iron creek district, owners of
claims in that region will do little
or no work during the coming sum-
mer, according to Joseph Morris,
who has extensive holdings on Iron
creek
The crying need of the Iron creek
district at this time, declares Morris,
who is in Spokane, Wash, at the
present time, is good trail from
Talkeetna to the mining properties,
a distance of about forty-two miles.
At the present time there is nothing
but a winter trail from Talkeetna
and use of this by the owners of
claims is precluded by reason of its
poor condition. Immediate develop
ment of many of the properties in
the district will result from the con-
struction of wagon road, it is
claimed.
The Iron creek mining district is
located on Iron creek, a branch of
the Talkeetna river The district
has about 100 recorded claims con-
fined within an area of five to ten
square miles, among these claims are
the Talkeetna group, consisting of
ten claims, and the Copper King
group, of ten claims, which were
located by Mr.. Morris in 1916.
1t is stated that thousands of tons
of merchantable ore is available for
shipment and awaits only the con-
struction Of a wagon road. There
are valuable power sites in the dis
trict and electricity could be gen.
Grated at small initial cost
A petition asking for the con-
struction of wagon road from Tai
keetna to the mines has been signed
by all bushes men of Talkeetna and
by all the miners interested in the
Iron creek claims.
A. A Shonbeck, road supervisor
for the Anchorage district, and J. E.
Wilson, road commissioner for the
Third division, will make a trip of
investigation into the Iron creek dis
trict sometime this spring, with the
end in view of passing on the re-
quest of the petitioners.
1t is probable that lin the event
there are not sufficient funds avail
able to build the character of road
wanted by the mining men, the ter
ritorial road commission next season
will construct a winter trail over
which the necessary supplies for re-
velopment work may be freighted
in next winter.

Over Two Thousand Dollars
In Stamps.

Two thousand and ninety-four dol

statement made recently by T. R.

In order to save this amount of
money the little folks have expert
enced many candyless days, declares
the superintendent. From this sac

The following sums were saved by
the different grades:
First grade, $3.50; Second, $318.-

RED CROSS HELP
URGED TO RAISE
ARMY OF NURSES
Five Thousand Additional Nurse.
Wanted By Army Before First
of June

Surgeon General Gorgas, of the
United States army, has called upon
the American Red Cross to supply to
the Army Nurse Corps 5000 nurses
between now and June l. These
nurses are needed for service in
military hospitals both in this coun-
try and abroad. Although the Red
Cross has already supplied nearly
seven thousand nurses as a reserve
for the Army and Navy Nurse Corps
since the beginning of the war, the
imperative need for a greater army
of nurses grows daily as the war
progresses.
According to a statement made by
Surgeon General Gorgas, it is esti-
mated that there are between eighty
and ninety thousand registered
nurses in the United States, and that
approximately thirty thousand will
be needed for service in army hos
pitfalls during the present year The
immediate need of 5000 of these
is emphasized.
! Appeal for Volunteers.
In discussing the nursing situation
Miss Jane A. Delano, director of the
department of nursing of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, said:
can earnest appeal is made to the
nurses of the country to volunteer
for this service. We also appeal
to the public and to the physicians
employing these nurses to aid in
making it possible for them without
too great financial sacrifice on their
part to hold themselves in readi-
ness to respond to the call of their
country.
eve wish also to bring to the at
tention Of nurses the unusual oppor-
tunities offered by the insurance
law enacted for the protection Of
our army and navy. The provisions
of this insurance bill apply equally
to nurses assigned to duty as men,
bers of the Army and Navy Nurse
Corps, and make it possible for the
nurse to secure, at nominal rates,
protection for herself, as we'll as for
designated members of her family
dependent upon her.
Responsibility Upon Nurses.
ga great responsibility rests upon
the nurses of the country. They are
the only group of women recognized
as a part of the military establish
ment. While thousands and thous-
ands of nurses will be needed, the
number is relatively small compared
with the number of women in Amer
lea who should stand back of them
and make possible the service for
which they are so greatly needed at
this time.
"a special appeal is made there
fore to the nurses of America to
volunteer at once through the near
est local committee on Red Cross
Nursing Service, through the direc-
tor of the Bureau of Nursing in
their division, direct to Red Cross
headquarters, Washington, D. c., or
to the Surgeon Generals office, War
Department, Washington, D. C.

His heart might bad "~ =

But, just the same they drafted JIM
And Jim has gone away. rss
Jim was sort of great, big kid i,
And fooling all the while; .t
So, when they ordered him to camp,
He went there with smile
Jim Dale is in the army now,
Lank legs, bum heart and all, =
To fight like other drafted men,
That got the country's call
God, yes. Jm's heart may drop him Dead
Or he may live to be
Shot all to pieces lover there"
What odds to you or me?
By, thunder! it's these odds to YOU
If kids like Jim can go,
With smiles, to fight our wars for US,
We can put up the dough!
If we can buy bond two, .
And don't while Jim, poor Gus,
Goes smiling off to death or wounds
Then Hells too good for us.
