HOUSE CATCHES FIRE

The residence Of Frank Zavits on
Mil Street was discovered to be on
fire, Monday afternoon, spark
from a chimney evidently having
found Judgement in the shingle roof,
causing the blaze. The fire depart
ment was on the scene without delay
and the new chemical outfit demon
strated its great value, promptly ex-
tinguishing the fire which had gained
considerable headway. The house
was somewhat damaged by smoke and
water, the loss being fully covered
by insurance.

Red Cross Rest Room
and Library

Sometime after the war activi-
ties of the Rcd Cross ceased a
notice from headquarters was
sent out to each chapter that the
funds in their possession must
either be used for local purposes
or sent in to headquarters. Now
as this money was given by the
people Of this county and com.
munity. it seemed only fair that |
it should be used in a way that
would reach the greatest number |
of people possible. Therefore by |
a vote Of the Red Cross members
and through the efforts of the
Executive committee a Library
and rest room has been establish. |
ed in the basement of the court
house. Through the kindness of
the county commissioners a room
has been donated for this purpose
We now have q rest room to be
proud of and which will be open
to the public. Mrs. Carroll
Brown has been kind enough to
volunteer her services as Libari.
an and the Library will be open
on Wednesday evenings from n
to 8 and Saturday afternoons
from 2:S0 to s. 1t is the earnest
wish Of those who have given
their services and time to this
project that the people will en-.
JOY the results Of their efforts
and hope that each ones personal
interest will be such as to guard
and protect this property a. their
own. Executive COMMITTEES

TURKEYS FOR THANKSGIVING

(Prsparsd by the unitsd States Department

The American public demands tur-

no other festival Of the year do the
people Of this country feel 1t neces-
sary to have any one kind of meat.
hut Thanksgiving without turkey Is
like Hamlet without the ghost to most
Americans. Many serve turkey at
Christmas and New Years also. but
after the holiday season Is past the
demand for turkeys is usually small.
This makes the marketing season for
turkeys very short, running as 1t does
from the middle Of November to the
latter part Of December.
In sections where turkeys are grown
In large numbers, as In Texas, dress
ing plants have been built by poultry
ueaiers, who buy the birds alive and
dress them for the various city mar

turkey rsisers sell to these dealers.
who often send buyers out into the
couatry to gather up drove OF several
hundred birds by stopping at each
farm a. they pass, weighing whatever
turkeys the farmer may have to SELL
