 Meetiing. l 
Public Invited To Partici- pate In Discussion-Two Speakers Will Outline City Manager Form of Government.

Mir. and Mrs. Bridgeport and
 their numerous progeny are all
 invited to attend a public meet
 ing to be held in the Common
 Council chamber at the City Hall
 tt 5:15 o'clock tonight, when and
 where city charter changes will
 be discussed.
 It will be a sort of coming. out
 party for the proposed new char
 ter. the party in this instance, be-
 ing given by Mayor AtWater and
 his recently appointed charter re
 vision committee to the general
 public.
 Mayor Atwater wants it definitely understood that everybody is invited to the public hearing on the scope and form of the revised charter at evening. He also wants it under stood that the meeting will commence at the advertised time. How long 1t will last he does not prophecy, but after the outside speakers are through everyone who has anything to say will be welcome to say it, provided he sticks strictly to the text of what form he charter shall take, whether it shah be city manager. mayor and al dermen, or commission governm ent.
 J. E. Barlow, city manager of New London, will tell the committee and the public how city managerShip is working In New London, while R. H. Hunter, who has had a sort of stormy petrol career as manager in Strat- tord, VIII speak on the working Of city managershtp in the neighboring town. While the two plans are the same in respect of having city man ager, nevertheless there is very ma terial difference in the way the gov erning board is constituted. In Strat- ford councilman is selected from each one of several districts, whereas in New London the councilmen or committee are elected from the town at large. The advocates of the ward system claim there jS better hal ance between the different parts of the city by reason of having one rep resentative from each ward, whereas the advocates of the other sys- tenn claim a much higher type of man can be had if the counci1nen are elected at large without reference to the part of the town in which they live.
 The hearing promises to be well attended and meets with general ap- proval because it marks the plan of the committee to proceed in open ses- sion rather than adopt star chamber methods.

TURKEYS TO BE SCARCE AGAIN
 THIS YEAR
Crop Decreasing at Alarm ing Rate, Says U. S. De- partment of Agriculture.
By HI. K. REYNOLDS International News Service Staff Cor
 respondent

By H. K. REYNOLDS International News Service Staff Cor Washington, Nov. 16.-Christnas might still be Christmas without a smiling Saint Nick in crimson uniform and flowing whiskers, but can Thanks giving still be Thanksgiving without a steaming turkey to lend lustre and distinction to the festive board? Having pondered on that without arriving at satisfactory conclusion. consider, if you please, this The United States Department of Agriculture informs us-and official ly. too-that the American turkey crop is decreasing at an alarming rapid rate.
 In fact, the number of turkeys pro- duced in the United States during tn 6 last 20 years has decreased approN- mately 50 per cent and-
 During the last six years the price received by producers for their tur- keys has increased more than 100 per cent.
 The average price received for turkeys during the four months, Oc- tober to January, 1915-16, was 15 cents a pound. The average price received during the corresp bonding pe- riod in 1920-21 was 32 cents a pound.
 In 1900 figures compiled by the Census Bureau showed 6,594, 695 tur- keys on farms in the United States. while in 1910 there were only S,eSS.-
 
 The difficulties of raising turkeys are described by the Agriculture De- partment in these words:
 Hard to Raise
 "It is common Knowledge that tur- keys are not easily handled. for by nature they are wanderers.
 Turkeys are also seriously afflicted by a disease known as blackhead which has caused heavy losses, and in some instances the business has been given up entirely for this reason.
 These cases of loss. together with the frequent ravages of wild animals, including dogs and rats, have tended to discourage development of the in- dustry."
 ) Discussing the turkey industry in more detail, the department says:
 'It is very difficult to ship tur- keys alive to market, since the shrink age is very heavy. Ordinarily turkeys do not eat very much when confined. and therefore they are usually killed and dressed locally and then shipped to market, packed in barrels or boxes. Turkeys, like chickens. may be either scalded or dry picked, but the dry picked birds are preferred in most markets.

EASTERN BRIDES
 NOW FAVOR WINTER WEDDINGS

June is losing popularity with American brides, at least in the East, where it is said the winter months, ,particularly the Christmas holiday season, are constantly gaining in popularity. Various reasons given by brid elect include the following:
 'sIt's nicer to. travel in the winter than in the hot summer months.
 '-The holiday season just strikes me as more appropriate-a mixture of sleigh bells and wedding bells, and a honeymoon round a grate fire"
 Because the smart set marry in the winter and go to southern Fdor- ida for the honeym con-"
 Learning to cook in hot June IS too hard on the bride just starting out.''

Ohio Bootleggers, Willy Species, Keep
 Only Small Stocks
(Ry International

Ry International News Serice.)
 Akron, O., Nov. 16-Two and a half years of keeping lon the dodge have taught local bootleggers a les son. They keep only a bottle or so of their product about the premises now for booze sIeuths to confiscate
 This Is the story g1eaIned from police court records. Few raids bring in more than a quart or so of liquor. The home brewer and vendor of hard liquor keeps little in stock, D says Lieutenant Frank Mcclure of the Akron vice squad The fence man hears of police aids and is constant ly shifting his supply. That is the reason we find such small amounts when we make our visits.''
 I don't know who the man was but his first name is Joe" is the fav orite explanation of drunks when acked where they got their hootch My wife is in poor health and needs a little something now and then" is the pet excuse of men arrested for having booze in their possession.
 Unusually heavy fines imposed on motorists charged with driving while intoxicated has cut down this class of offenses materially in the Akron district. Officers. uniformed and otherwise, are always on the watch and listen for cars which carry d unk1e-tinkIe as they move over the roads. In the last six months few auto booze parties have been turned up.
