II l'XTTOX AVF.
'I liankskivilig is a day of gi' lir
thanks or going gunning Just as ym
look ii it president Tuft came near
fm getting that there was to be
Thanksgiving this year and Issued His
pro' larnatlon at the latest date on rec-
oni. i. ui probably Jie felt that he whs
so full of 'possum and the 'goodies'
st tiffed Into him while he was maklnn
his trip through the Bouth .that he
nally didn't care whether Thanksgiv
ing come right away or not. Then,
too, his proclamation was Ihe shortest
on record, which may mean that he
Isn't half ns thankful over the new
tariff bill as he said he was.
if he should happen to wnmh r down
to the market In Washington some
day with Mrs. Taft to buy the Thanks
giving dinner for the white house and
see what was left of his week's wages
after he had bought a pitiful little
market basket full of tho things he
Just has to have, ho would know why
mony peoplo In the country can't be
us thankful aa they would like to be.
The fullness of one's thanks-giving
depends a great deal upon whether
one Is able to give thanks over u thiec
dollar turkey, or has to swell up with
gratitude over a fifteen cent rabbit.
Turkey Crop Miort.
JiiHt because this year's crop of
cranberries Is a record breaker II Is
natural, In the perversity f things,
that this year's crop or turkeys should
be short. Hut .shevllln Is luckier than
Northern cities In this respect, for
while turkeys here are selllnu nt th
bargaln price of 20 to 25 cents per
nound, New York and Philadelphia
are paying thirty and forty and are
not getting many turkeys at that.
In order to ascertain Just what pri
ces will prevail for Thanksgiving del
icacies. The Cltlicn sent around to thtt
market nnd got a '1st and thrifty
housewives would tlo well to take, It
along with them and make, their pro
vlsloners live down to the prices given
They sound much cheaper on paper
than they do when tho hill has to be
paid.
Ono thing that will distress those
wno are fond of game Is the law pass
ed at the last session which prohibits
the sale, of quail, wild turkey and
pheasants. Ho that the epicure who
desires to feast on such delicacies as
these must hie to the woods and shoot
them himself, or do without.
Below Is given a list of n few of the
things which go to make up a Thanks
giving dinner and every woman cun
slie up her pocket book und net ac
cordingly: Dressed Poultry.
Turkoys, 20 to 26 cents per pound,
seesc, 15 cents per pound; ducks, 20
cents per pound: fowls, 18 cents per
pound; frying sited and broilers, 25
cents and up; squabs, 25 cents each;
rabbits, 1G cents each; squirrels, 13
cents each.
Vegetables and Fruits.
Cranberries, 10 to 12 cents; celery,
10 cents per Btnlk; cabbage, 2 cents
per pound;, parsnips, 8 cents per
