NO 5O-CENT TURKEY THEN.
Plains in Early Days Supplied
 Thanksgiving Tables.

Wild turkeys in such numbers that they broke down the trees on which they roasted were common turnout this portion of the West prior to the opening of the country to settlement. Oklahoma was greatly favored and be- came the hunting ground for the en- tire Southwest. Seemingly, it was the natural home for the turkey and would indicate that the domestic bird could also be made 8 profit maker on the farms. The reverse, however, is true, for now not enough turkeys are raised to supply local demands for Thanksgiving dinners. According to the old-timers, there are still a few droves of wild turkeys in the hills of Osage county, which was the last stand of the bird in this territory. Yet on the farms of this same area turkey raising is practically unknown.
 Many of the families who home steaded claims in the Cherokee Strip in the fall of 1893 tried turkey rais- ing immediately but animals killed most of the focks.
 One of the early day sports was to hunt wild turkeys on horseback in the late fall. Clubs but not guns were al- lowed, it being considered chase in the full meaning of the word. Old timers say the sport was unexcelled, that the birds were plentiful and he hunters always returned with well filled bags.
 But back in the eos and 70's, the annals of the Indian battles of Gen eral Custer in Western Oklahoma tell of the vast number of turkeys that then abounded in what is now Custer, Blaine and adjoining coun- ties. The soldiers declared that the birds came in such droves that they broke the limbs off the trees by so many of them trying to roost close together and at times the entire forces of Custer lived on turkey meat.

The house auJOufned sine dle 4:Vl o'clock.
 Washington, Nov. 24.--The tax re- vision bill became law late yester- day, President Harding signing it at the capitol in the closing hour of the special session of Congress.
 Final enactment of the revision bill was accomplished with the acceptance by the Senate of the conference re- port on the measure.
 The vote on agreeing to the cen ference report was 39 to 29, with six Republicans opposing the report and one Democrat supporting it. The Re- publicans were Borah, Ladd, LaFol- lette, Moses, Norbeck and Morris. The Democrat was Broussard.
 This is the bill which repeals the ex- cess profits and transportation taxes, and does away with most of the so- called nuisance and luxury taxes, re- duces individual taxes all along the line and increases the corporation in- come tax 10 per cent to 121s per cent.
 It is estimated that the bill will provide between 3,100 million and 3A billion dollars in revenues next year and effect reduction in taxes of TO million dollars this year and 1885, 100000 next year.
 Senators Not Entirely Satisfied.
 Few, if any, senators supporting the measure were entirely satisfied with all of it's sections, but they took the view that it contained more good provisions than bad ones. The meas ure is generally conceded to be only temporary one and the understanding now is that a new revision bill will have to be framed within year or so.
 Criticize tie Cenferees.
 Senate and House conferees on the tax bill were criticized today in the Senate for their action in disposing of some of the amendments adopted by the Senate. Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Nebraska, said it was a fact well known that the conferees represented not the sentiment of the majority in the Senate and House, but the sentiment only of the domi- nant element in the party in control of the two Houses.
 Senator Simmons, Democrat, of North Carolina, said the Senate Re- publican conferees had been perfectly willing to recede on the 30 per cent surtax amendment adopted by the Senate and that Chairman Penrose had told the House managers that they could inform the House that the Senate managers would accept compromise 40 per cent.
 Attacking the system under which the conferees operated, Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts, said that if conferees persisted in overturning the will of majority in each House of Congress they would strike at the vitals of the government and would aid "bolshevists and anarchists
 Senator Shoot, Republican, of Utah, defended the conferees and said so far as he knew the House man agers had not been promised that the Senate managers would accept a 40 per cent surtax rate.
