Francis " Bushman and Beverly

Virginia Parke, played by Miss Bayne
is a society butterfly with no thought
in her head beyond clothes and her

From all indications many Marshall
town people will be satisfied this
Thanksgiving day with chicken. goose
or duck for their THANKSGIVING dinner
rather than the much desired turkey.
Turkeys are selling from 40 to 20 cents
the pound
Turkeys on the local market are de-
clared to be scarce, as most dealers
here try to buy their turkeys at near
by points. where comparatively there
are few birds. In the Minnesota
country. where turkeys are plentiful,
the wholesale market at Minneapolis
quotes fat turkeys Weighing eight
pounds and over at 81 cents. 1t costs
/ cent pound to bring dressed tur-
keys from Minneapolis to this city. SO
that local dealers who are selling
turkeys for Thanksgiving at 40 and Al
cents. as some Of them are, are not
asking too much Of a profit.
Last Thanksgiving the high price on
dressed turkeys locally was 40 cents,
and ranged downward to IS and as
low as 35. In 1919 dressed turkeys
were sold at Is cents top, and in 1913
30 cents.
Geese. Ducks and Chickens.
To persons who will be satisfied
with geese. ducks. or chickens they
may be had at a lesser cost. Geese are
quoted by local dealers AT % and 30
cents In the country dressed geese.
weighing alive from ten to seventeen
pounds. may be bought for % cents
pound delivered. Ducks are quoted
from 80 TO 30 cents, and chickens from
% to IS.
Conservation Menu.
The food administration, in survey
of the entire country. announces that
there are plenty of turkeys. ducks,
chickens and geese for THANKSGIVING.
In keeping with conservation ideas at
a period when this country Is called
upon to feed practically all of Europe,
tho food administration has sent out a
suggestive menu for the Thanksgiving
dinner. II will be seen that the meal
can be prepared at nominal cost under
the prevailing times. and aside from
the meat at price not much over
what any dinner would cost. The
menu follows:
Roast Turkey. Chicken. Duck. or Goose
Mashed Potatoes.
Stewed Turnips Stewed Tomatoes
Cranberry Sauce.
Lettuce or Fruit salad
Pumpkin, Pie or Steamed Pudding.
In preparing the above dinner many
people will have in their cellars the
| potatoes. turnips and canned toma-
| toes. With sugar now more plentiful
| than 1t was during the war. cram
berries may be served. and If the sugar
| allowance Is short syrup may be uset
for sweetening. The local market at
| fords everything that is needed fol
1 a dinner such as is suggested, and the
prices are no higher than they have
| been for some time.

PRICE CONTROL TO CONTINUE.
| Publication Of Food Priees Resumed

The publication of the cost and SELL
ing prices Of food products. as required
by the national food administration. is
resumed in this issue, following the
first meeting Of the price Interpretation
committee, since the quarantine was
Fitted held Monday night. The ma
tional food administration is warning
dealers that they must continue to
observe these prices until price control
is relinquished by the government.
This control will probably continue at
least until the peace treaty h signed.
but it may be that the schedule will not
be published as often.
There have been a few items that
have decreased in prices since the last
publication. but more than have in.

In one family among my neighbors

when one Of their guests at Sunday
dinner made the perfectly simple and
natural request that he be permitted
after the meal to repair to the kitchen
where the pretty waitress was. Per-
mission was denied, but. young Romeo
was not discouraged, and this letter
came ITO the Girl That Waits for Mrs.
