GOOD TURKEY MARKET LIKELY

Present indications point to good
market on turkeys during the holi-
day season, according to the sales
manager of the Minnesota Coopera-
tive Egg and Poulary Exchange.
The turkey crop throughout the
producing states is reported from 60
to IS per cent less than last years
crop, and the storage stock is being
depleted and moving into consump-
ton at satisfactory prices.
The Exchange is prepared to han
die the crop of turkeys, ducks and
geese that will be mature and ready
for market for Thanksgiving, ship
ping them to the La Crosse concen-
tration plant where they will be
graded, packed and sold under the
'Lake Region" brand
The Exchanges feeding and drc>
ing plant is now ready to put out
car of dressed poultry per day, and
hopes to maintain that average output
during the season.

That results are showing from the

ports giving the official weights of

OF being the first in the state to pro-

Heavy Poultry Shipment
Force Prices Down 6 Cents
Butter Output Heavier Than Year
Butter Output Heavier Than Year
Ago-Price Down One-Half Cent

A veritable flood of live poultry
arrived on the New York market last
week and the price declined to 20
cents on spring chickens. This was
6 cents lower than prevailing prices
at the close of the previous week.
This drop was one of the most alb
rupt and disastrous that has occurred
in long time. 1t is apparent that
at certain times of the year, and this
is one of them, more poultry should
move through the dressing plants of
the country. While prices have not
declined in the country in line with
the lower prices that prevailed dur
ing the week in New York, there is
an easier tendency, and in view of
the large crop of poultry still to be
marketed, it is quite likely that buy
ers will have conservative ideas of
value.
Receipts of dressed poultry were
considerably heavier than the pre-

BELFAST
Cuts Ice Channel to Dock

The Eastern Steamship Belfast
cut her way through a mile or more
of five inch ice, the heaviest yet en-
countered in Belfast harbor this sea-
son, when she made her dock Friday
morning. While she encountered
some heavy zee off Northport in the
narrows between Dickey's Bluff and
Islesboro, there was none to speak
of between that point and Camden. A
few days of thaw or moderate
weather ii is believed would relieve
the situation in Belfast, and do away
with any further fears of an ice en-
barge this season, but continued
cold is more than likely to close the
port, those who have watched con-
ditions believe.

breaking her rudder has been re-
paired and arrived in Castine Thurs
day night from Camden. She came
on her route Friday passing through

Last Of Hawaiian Kings Was Friend

1t was typical of Stevenson that in
stead of choosing the best room in the
house for his own he should seek out
a dilapidated, cobwebhy little shack,
thirty or forty yards away, and pa
pered with widowed newspapers, in
which to install himself. Here in
complete contentment. with his cot,
f1ageolet, and inkbottle he set HIM
self to the task Of finishing the MAS

King Kalakaua, the last of the

ligned man. From the stories often
told Of him one would picture gro
tesque savage who was constantly
drunk; sort Of Sambo, in ridiculous

I do not know how many men who
afterward became Presidents were

knowledge. so many people. who
don't know anything worthwhile,
know ali these things. The PIN
head that contains the Lords
Prayer Is @ huge blank eXpanse

that contain a lot of unrelated facts

l believe Mckinley, Harding, Cool

them the Presidency. There are
some men who would have got to be
Presidents even if they had been
born in good society.
Being the sort OF chaps who plug
ahead and work at something all the
time is what puts men in position
from which the pichers of Presidents
can see them with the naked eye.
No loafer was ever elected to the
Presidency. Nobody ever searches
the ranks of the drug store COW
boys and cake eaters to find a Presi<
dent.
No child is born with the Presi-
dental label on him. That is some
thing he tastes on himself, often not
knowing when he does it, He gets
so busy being the biggest human he
can that he forgets all about being

running down his lightning rod.
Just think how many boys born on
farms never become Presidents,
There have been boys born in log
cabins who never even had a long
distance smell of the Presidency. A
boy can be just as rotten a nuisance
ana as generally worthless on a
Iarm as he can anywhere else. He
can be selfish and discourteous and
lazy there as easily as he can in
town. The road to hell is as short
from one place as the other.
The quality of the boy Ia what
counts-not his SURROUNDINGS. No
situation in the world is immune
from the bacillus of folly and worth
iessness. 1t isn't in the air-it's in
the heir.
That's what l know about farms
and Presidents.
