Thanksgiving Feast
Here Will Include
Turkey, If Desired
Appears to Be No Scarcity in
This Area Where Thous-
andS Are Produced

The traditional Thanksgiving feast
will be on the tables of most local
families on Thursday, in spite of the
reported shortage of turkeys through
out the eastern states.
Local grocerymen say they have not
had any difficulty in filling all orders
for turkeys locally, although growers
are making sure to hold back enough
for the Christmas rush.
One groceryman here said that
many more turkeys were in demand
for the Christmas feast than for the
Thanksgiving holiday and added that
the usual number Of turkeys was be-
ing sold for this season of the year.
The ceiling price is 62 cents per pound
for dressed turkeys.
Some Thanksgiving dclicacies will
be absent from this years feast, in
Guiding cranbcrries, which arc now
unobtainable. Most vegetables and
green goods are plentiful but higher
than a year ago. Quite few local
families have bountiful tables but
prefer roasts and other meat to the
traditional fowl.
Thousands of turkeys arc raised by
Garrett county producers and these

Introduces Bill to
Provide Funds For
Savage River Dam
Congressman Beall Places Meas
urc in House of Repre-
sentativeS

A bill to provide $9S0.000 for COM
pletion of the Savage river dam in
Western Maryland was introduced in
the House by. Rep. J. Glenn Bcall, Of
this district
Bcall said that if the money were
supplied, work could start as soon as
the military situation in Europe per
mittcd-posSihly in the spring Of 1915
Army engineers. he said, in recon-
mcnding completion of the dam, cs-
timatcd that between $50 and 400
men would be employed. The result
tant employment, he added, would
probably absorb any postwar slack
in Alcgany and Garrett counties.
The money asked in the bill would
not be a new appropriation, he said,
as it had been voted by Congress once
before and then returned to the Urea
sury after work on the dam and
similar projects was halted in 1911.
OF the approximate $4,000000 total
cost of the project Allcgany county
provided 100000 with the approval
of the Maryland General Assembly,
The balance was appropriated by the
federal government.

DRIVE UNDERWAY
THRUOUT NATION
Garrett County Citizens Asked
to Purchase Bonds Amount
ing to $225,000

Launching the Sixth War Loan
drive in Garrett and Allegany coun-
ties, Charles A. Piper, chairman of
Region No. !, has appealed to citi-
zens to "do their part by investing in
the soundest security in the world to-
day.
The drive officially opened on Mon
day, November 20, and will conclude
on December 16. Howard c. Riggs
has again accepted the craftsmanship
of this county, He said that Garrett
county residents would be asked to
purchase bonds amounting to $225,-
600, with "E" bond sales amounting
to $125,000 of the total
ALREADY there have been a num-
Der of applications" Mr.. Riggs de-
clarcd on Wednesday, land l am hope
full that our entire quota will be raised
in short time"
Sales in Garrett county in the five
previous loans have amounted to ST.
$68, 1865. During the last drive
citizens here were asked to purchase
$275,00 in bonds and when the drive
was over the figures reached $343,-
886.75.
Maryland is asked to raise $210,-
100000, while the national quota is

to sixteen billion the last time.
President Asks Support
President Roosevelt urged the ma
ton to buy more war bonds in Off
cially opening the sixth big drive and
told radio audience that the war is
costing $50 million dollars a day. He
urged self denial, declaring:
The sixth war loan drive is some
thing more than just d money raising
affair.
I've cannot all fight the enemy
tacc-to-facc. We cannot all produce
the weapons and raw materials so
vital to our armed forces.
But there is one front on which
all Of us-every man, woman and
child-can serve, and serve for the
duration. We can all practice self
denial
"The war in this present month of
November alone will cost us seven
and one-haIf billion dollars. That is
two hundred and fifty millions a day.
"Thc war is not over-no, not by
many a costly battle. While we have
every reason to be proud of what has
been donc-cvcn optimistic about the
ultimate outcomc-Wc have no reason
to be complaccnt about the tough road
which still lies ahead"

tame hay were among the crops
listed for experimentation.
