SAN FRANCISCO, November %
San Franciscans who put off their
buying till the last moment ate the
cheapest turkey in twenty years to-
day. Some obtained prime birds as
low as 25 cents a pound and poorer
grades dropped even lower. The ac-
tivities of the newly organized Tur
key Growers Association of Northern
California were responsible.
After turkeys had sold last year at
90 cents pound, the association de-
termined to prevent repetition of
these experiences, then lined up re-
tailers, agreeing to supply them dl-
rect, eliminating the commission
merchants cut. A week ago heavy
shipments from Oregon and remote
parts of California arrived here and
were snapped up by the commission
merchants, who sat back and waited
for the expected flood of orders from
retailers.
When the commission men found
the retailers We're already stocked
they were left with thousands of
birds on their hands. They took the
only course open to them and prices
were slashed ruthlessly.

NEW YORK, November 29.-James
B. Clews. in reviewing the financial
situation, says:
A nationwide movement to bring
about the reduction of income taxa
tion by the federal government along
the lines indicated in the recommen-
dations of Secretary Mellon has been
the response of business during the
past week to the plan OF reform suS-
Gested by the Secretary of the Treas
ury. This general attitude of ap-
proval has gone far toward reassur-
Ing doubling politicians with refer
ence to the character of the popular
demand for relief, and 1t has also
tended TO furnish a guarantee that
the bonus project will at all events
be stoutly resisted in Congress.
Situation Is Encouraging.
The weeks developments in the
stock market have revealed an en-
couraging situation from many stand
points. In the oil group better pros
poets have developed as a result or
seems to be fairly well assured, al
though still on a small scale. Extra
dividends and the prospect of further
dividend changes have helped the so
called 1000 STOCKS, WnlLt several VI
the SpecialtieS have also made con-
cessions to their shareholders along
similar lines. The advance in sundry
others, such as American Can, Stude-
baker and Baldwin, although not ac-
Companied by any certainty that new
policies of distribution are in sight.
is due to a recognition of the really
successful ;>nd prosperous year that
has been enjoyed by the industries
affected and the substantial earnings
which they have been able to ac-
. cumulate as a result of their opera
tions.
Better Foreign Demand Seen.
General business prospects are un-
doubtedIy mending. 4 record-break-
ing Christmas trade is now predicted
by retail experts, while symptoms of
further growth of building are also

turaI situation shows that the farmer

Oakland Car Wrecked,

Last Thursday Mr.. Robert Helbig,
of the local postoffice force, had the
misfortune of wreclling his Essex
coach at a point east of Grantsville
while en- route to Cumberland. Due
to a slight fall Of rain the road be-
came very slippery which caused his
car to skid, turning completely around
in the road and overturning after
having struck the parapet of a cul-
vert. Accompanying Mr.. Helbig were
his sister, Miss Ella, aud Misses Ha-
eel Thayer and Mary Peddicord, the
latter the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred. Peddiccord. The car was badly
damaged, one wheel being torn off,
the tenders smashed down and the
rear of the car bent. Fortunately,
however, none of the occupants were
injured in the least.
