BURKE CHEF SPEAKER {
! AT WOMEN'S LUNCHEON

Lewis Burke. whose subject was
Romance in Finance" was the CHIEF
speaker Wednesday at the luncheon OF
the Chattanooga Business Women's
club. Finance he said. was usually &C.
cupied in chasing dollar, but the
romance was largely what to do with
the dollar. Nothing causes SO much
trouble. he said. as idle money, and
pointed out that the opportunity for in
vestment-long time investment--was
a great deal better now than 1t would
be in a few years from now. He said
that the cause of liberty bonds going
down was the fact that the $3.50 in
terest on a $1,000 bond would not buy
as much now as when they were pur-
chased in 1913.
The people themselves. he said. were
the makers OF prices and not the stock
exchange; they control the price or
cotton, corn and other products by the
way it is consumed, he said. In closing
Mr.. Burke said that II any of them
were contemplating investing in oil or
mining stocks he would be glad to
give them advise to the contrary.
Following MIR. Burkes address Mrs.
Estelle Grimm explained the way the
ballot was to be handled at the polls.

TURKEY DINNER
WILL COME HIGH
Many Housewives Planning to
Substitute Chicken on
Thanksgiving Menu.
FOWLS MUCH CHEAPER

It is predicted that Thanksgiving
turkeys will be very scarce and high
priced this year in this immediate vi
cinity. Farmers declare that this has
been brought on by the extremely bad
weather conditions during the early
part OF tho season. The turkey is the
most delicate or fowls to raise.
Local dealers state that turkeys
that sold last year for from 80 cents
to 40 cents a pound will be from 10
cents to so cents a pound this year
In fact, present indications are that
there will be very limited number
OF turkeys placed on the market from
this section.
In speaking OF conditions, Market
master Andy Ware said wednesday
morning that there had been fewer
turkeys raised in this section this
year than ever before. On the. other
hand. he pointed out that turkey rails
ing in the western states had been
large. this year. He Is OF the opinion
that Il very many turkeys are sold
here they will have. to, be obtained
from Texas and other states in the
west.
MuHy VI NHtltduOobd HOuocWiNCs
are planning to depart from the old
custom of having a turkey included in
the Thanksgiving menu and substi-
tuting chicken. An investigation of
prices shows that hens on the local
market are CHEAPER VOW than they
have ever been this year. Farmers
have a new supply of hens coming on
and are selling off their old hens;
therefore there Is O generous supply
on the market at the present time,
ana will PROBABLY lie throughout the
holidays.
No Increase Expected.
These hens are selling at the pres
emit time for about 35 cents a pound,
dressed, and indications are that they
will remain about the same price I'M
til after Thanksgiving. Last Satur-
day there was special sale OF hens
at some of the markethouse poultry
stores at 80 cents pound.
Local wholesale and retail dealers
are inclined to be somewhat dubious
about placing carload orders for the
western turkeys, as they declare the
Tha nksgiving trade is so uncertain.
There will, therefore, be very rev
shipped in here from that part OF the
country.
In speaking Of other foodstuffs that

ner Marketmaster Ware stated that
they would be a little cheaper this
year than last. He said that the
sweet potato crop had been excellent
this year, compared with very poor
one in 1919.
