fowl. From that good day to the pres
ent the turkey, either wild or tame,
has continued to occupy the place of
honor at the American Thanksgiving
dinner.
Its Name a Mystery.
Just why this fowl should have been
named turkey" in the English Ian
guage no one seems to know. Tire
realm of his sultanic majesty had no
more to do with the Introduction Of
the bird into polite society than did
Greenland. The real turkey is bird
indigenous to North America and was
from here introduced to the rest of the
world.
The name possibly may be explained
by the peculiar call of the mother to
her chicks, which sounds very much
like turk, turk, turk" AT any
rate, there is no relation between the
bird and the country of the same
name.
The turkey was a favorite fowl
among the aboriginal inhabitants of
America. 1t had its habitat all over
that vast area, where grew its favor
lite food-lndian corn. When Cortez,
in 1919, reached the realm of the
Aztecs, Montezuma entertained him
with royal splendor, and among the
delicious viands set before the Spanish
invaders was roasted turkey.
North of the Rio Grande the turkey
was we'll known and the adventurous
Coronado found it among the cliff
dwellers and other tribes he met on
his expedition through what is today
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
The wild turkey is credited with be-
ing the progenitor of all kinds of tur-
keys the world over. Ornlthologists
accept the view that all turkeys have
descended from the three forms known
today as the North American, the Mex
lean and the Honduras varieties. The
fowl found in certain jungles Of South
America and known as the curassow,
although sometimes called the South
American turkey, really belongs to a
different family.
The North American turkey-father
and mother of the whole tribe-is the
original species of the eastern United
States, according to experts of the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton. Its colors are black, beautifully
shaded with rich bronze, illuminated
with lustrous finish of coppery gold.
All this emblazons the plumage with
distinctive brightness, and in the rays
of the sun the FURNISHED appearance
comes out with striking brilliancy.
Wild Birds Still Thrive.
To this day wild turkeys may be
found in some of the most unsettled
sections of their former range, espe-
cially in the wooded and mountainous
regions of Arizona, Mexico, Texas, the
large swamps of the Gulf, in Tennes-
see and the Carolinas. The Great
fiocks of wild turkeys. Their nests
are discovered occasionally and the
eggs given to farm hens or turkey hens
to hatch, but the chicks. although
mothered In a strictly modern way, re-
vert to their wild habits when but a
few weeks old.
The present demand for Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas turkeys is so enor-
nous as to make the business of rats
ing, transporting and selling this giant
fowl large enterprise. Carloads Of
turkeys start reaching market about
the middle of November and continue
well into December. Should there be
! surplus at Thanksgiving, those I'M
sold are held under refrigeration for
| Christmas.

BODIES OF -FOUR
IN FAMILY FOUND
Man Arrested on EmbezzIe-
ment Charge Reveals Graves.
Two Still Missing.
By the Associated Press.

WATFORD CITY, N. Dak.,' Decem-
Der 12.-The recovery of four bodies
three Of them from a grave dug in q
floor of a farm barn, today led county
authorities to say they were close to
a solution of the mysterious disappear
ance of family Of six near Schafer
last February. The arrest of Charles
Bannon on charges of embezzlement
led to the recovery of the bodies of
A. E. Haven, who had lived on the
farm; his sons, Daniel, 19, and Leland,
16, and an infant months old. Mrs.
Haven and a 3-year -old child still we're
missing. Bones Of the latter child also
were believed found, but identification
was not certain. The victims appar-
a hammer. The motive has not been
learned.
Accused of selling four hogs which
did not belong to him, Bannon was
hailed into court here for a preliminary
hearing The matter Of the where
abouts of the Haven family came up
during the hearing. Bannon insisted
that they had gone to Cotton, Greg,
to live and that he had taken them
to a train to begin their journey.
After yesterday mornings court pro-
ceedings had ended Bannon called his
mother, a minister and his attorney
and asked Sheriff c. A. jacobson to
take him to the farm. In a pile of
refuse there, he told the sheriff. the
body Of the baby would be found. 1t
was.
Authorities said Bannon asserted the
child was killed by Mrs. Haven. who,
he said. was mentally unbalanced.
Haven, he is reported to have said,
pledged him to secrecy and buried the
body.
After the first body was found the
sheriff took Bannon to Williston. Gues-
toned there, he told the officers where
other bodies we're hidden. Working by
lantern light, the authorities followed
Bannon's direction and dug in a trench
in the barn where they found three
bodies and what may be parts of
another.
Bannon also is reported to have told
authorities that Mrs. Haven had killed
her husband and three Of the children
with hammer and that Bannon aided
in burying them. Mrs. Haven, the
oficers were told, then fed with the
infant.

See Scandal First

Did you ever notice, when you are
out with a group of folks and you
happen to bring the conversation
around to some individual how few
have anything nice to say about him
and how many have something
scandalous to tell? Those who tell
the scandalous things usually pre-
cede the dirt with Il don't know
for sure. but l heard" But chat,
never lessons the effect the news
can have on those listening in.
It's a cruel habit, this tellin
gossipy things about other folks.
mas ruined more regulations an
broken up more homes and dis
sipated more happiness than any
other one thing And yet, almost
without exception, all of us have the
dreadful tendency to tell all the bad
0r shady things we know.
It's probably because, from the
habit Of years, the subrosa things
have been believed to make better
and more interesting conversation.
1t surely is a bit spicier to hear
that a man was seen walking down.
the street with strawberry blondes
than it is to hear that he was seen
lunching with his wife. But then,
place yourself in the wife's shoes.
Makes 1t Dangerous
Primarily, there is nothing wrong
with man walking down the street
with a strawberry blonde. 1t isn't =
any more apt to be destructive to
the hearth and home than lunch
ing with his wife would be.
But when it's said out in a crowd
of people, with just the proper in
donations and heaving of chests and =
lifting Of the eyebrows, it can sound
much more dangerous than an
afternoon with Cleopatra.
Surely it won't hurt to close your
ears to the cruel things that are
said about people. The things that
are said with the Il don't know, but
I heard" are not worth repeating.
They are apt to ruin valuable
friendships and destroy regulations
worthy of something better and
more fair.
Why not make rule for 1880
never to say anything but something
nice about other people? And If
you can't say something nice, be
kind to your own soul, and say
nothing.
