EASY TO PREDICT

Prophets of EDil Always
Haze FOLLOWERS.

For years England has awaited the
appearance of "Old Moore's Alma
mack" and has provided market for
it. 1t is purely astrological, and the
1926 issue, now on the English mar
ket. is said to furnish more than the
customary number of thrills. Indeed,
one feels that the seer has been too
lavish in that he has left little for
1927.
We get this, for instance: Won
derment and amazement will hold you,
as in a spell, when the possibilities
of 1926 are laid bare. License, de
bauchery, lawlessness, self-indulgence,
rioting, improvidence, murder, theft
and violence will attend the loosing
of the unbridled passions of a per-
verted and goddess generation. The
sickle is Put into reaping and the
world generally will become so deci-
mated during the ensuing four years
that nothing short of divine interven-
ton will save it from self-destruction."
The newspapers will surely be kept
busy.
Ofhand, one might say that Old
Moore had driven himself into a blind
alley and that the close of the year
to come would find him discredited,
but this is unlikely We may think
for a moment of astrologers of the
past, to say nothing of minor prophets
who term themselves experts. Only a
little less than 100 years ago learned
men asserted that no railroad train
could exceed a speed Of 40 miles an
hour because of the resistance of the

cross the Atlantic because they could

to the great American bird as turkey,
but it has the approval of science, and
that is enough. Three varieties made
up the original stock of wild turkeys
on this continent. They were the gall
lopavo of New England and the
greater part of North America, the
ocellata of Honduras and the mexi-
cana of Mexico. A fourth variety is
supposed to have inhabited the West
India islands, from which the birds
taken to Spain by Columbus were OBJ
tanned. From these, in the course of
400 years, six varieties have been
evolved, known as the bronze, Maria
gansett, buff, slate, white and black.
The white Aand black birds are
freaks" from the three .original spe-
ciea
The turkey has never been morel
than half domesticated. It is still es-
sentially wild bird. 1t roams the
fields in flocks, feeds upon insects and
stray grains during the late summer
and fall months and only seeks the
shelter of the barnyard when the food
supply fails. Young turkeys seem to
distrust man and all his works, and
each generation of turkeys has to be
tanned. The birds do become quite
docile under careful management, but
the hen turkey forever seeks the wild
in which to steal her nest and rear her
young. Testimony is not lacking that
it costs less to raise a turkey than
any other fowl, and to the ultimate
consumer in the Thanksgiving and
Christmas period they cost more than
any other fowl, so that somebody
makes a good profit ON the annual
product.
One Of the Oldest Birds.
The turkey is doubtless one of the
Oldest birds in America and always
occupied an important place in the
domestic life of the Indians. The Pill
grims at Plymouth learned the value
of the turkey from the Massasoit In
dams. Columbus found it in the West
Indies. Cortez was Toasted upon tur-
key in Mexico and Peru. The Maya
people embodied the turkey in their
OluSS( HlefOSlypll anu the SC4SLt4oIS
of the Smithsonian, delving among the
ruins of Arizona, found mummified
turkey, and the remains of nearly all
the cliff and cave dwellers in the
Southwest give up the bones of the
turkey. 1t was a staple food among
the red men from the earliest times,
as it has come to be in civilized lands
around the globe.
Benjamin Franklin desired to make
the turkey the national bird, but was
outvoted by others. who seemed to
find truer connection between the
bald eagle and the indomitable spirit
of the American republic. It may be
the screaming eagle better suits the
ways of war and poets dreams, but
the turkey occupies a specially warm
place in the affections of the Ameri-
can people. At Thanksgiving and
Christmas time he is king Of birds,
and will so remain to the end of time.

veyors of the aristocratie houses of
London found them, bought them,
tried them, and then wanted more.
London tradesmen were asked the
name of the fowl, and, because every
thing then was brought from Turkey,
those asking for the information were
told that they came from Turkey, and
they were known for many years in
the London markets as those Turkey
birds" This is one Of many tales
told to account for the strange nam
ing of .the American bird, and is prob
ably as good as any. The turkey has
been domesticated, as far as it is pos
sible, and long ago became a large
factor in domestic commerce.

one pavement of more than 200

Owatonna, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and St. Cloud to Brainerd.
The list on which bids will be
opened Aug. 25 is made up of near

grading, o. miles of gravel surfac-
ing, 40 miles of shoulder building
along recently built pavements, IL
bridges totaling more than 500 feet

cable guard-rail.
!, These improvements in part will
be paid for from 1926 motor veh-

will not be completed until next
year. The paving lis to be contract
ed for this fall to allow successful
bidders to stockpile materials and
do other preliminary work during
the winter, plan which it is be-
lieved will effect savings on the
work.
New paving will be only on sec
