the Shenandoah Valley. But turkey
did not relieve the weariness, the
heart-sickness of the frmies. And
while the little feast was being spread,
Lee's men had neither food nor festivi
ty in abundance. November was their
hardest month. They were short on
rations, which promised to become J
shorter. The granaries of the bhen

NEW YORK'S TURKEY SUPPLY
Stock Scarce and Some of the Mar
kets are Empty. j
New York Sun.
By noon Tuesday all dressed tur
keys for the New York Thanksgiving
trade will have been distributed to
the butchers and out of town buy
ers. In all 1,200 cars, averaging- 20,
000 pounds, are necessary to supply
the greater city and the towns near
by. This makes a total of 24,000,000
pounds of turkeys. The average price
from raisers to jobbers and butchers
this year is 2.Vcents, making the total
receipts valued at $5,520,000. In ad
dition to the 1,200 cars of dressed
turkeys there will be distributed by
Tuesday night 600,000 pounds of live
turkeys. These are worth 20 cents
from first hands to killers, making
the value $1,200,000. This, added to
the bill for dressed stock, would make
the total turkey bill for this Thanks
giving $6,720,000 from first hands.
Consumers must pay at least 25 per
cent more, equal to $1,680,000, which
added to the cost from first hands,
would make the Thanksgiving turkey
bill $8,400,000 at the very least.
This year conditions are the mosx
peculiar ever known. Because of the
foot and mouth disease the report
was spread through the turkey
producing sections that embargoes
existed in New rrk and a large quan
tity of dressed turkeys and other
dressed poultry was refused by the
ailroads despite the fact that Gov
ernment officials had declared over
their signature that there was no em
bargo on poultry. In a number of
States, particularly Ohio, Indiana and
portions of Illinois, county and State
officials became alarmed and put an
embargo on all such shipments. These
conditions cut ihe shipments. These
conditions cut the supply for New
York . almost in half. In several of
the best poultry shipping sections
railroad agents insisted that dressed
cut the heads and feet off before the
shipments would be accepted. This
the dressers refused to do because it
would ruin the poultry for any of the
large markets.

the Confederatee soldiers pained ob
servers. One of these observers
wrote:
We were shocked at the condition,
the complexion, the expression of the
men, and of the officers too, even the
"eld officers indeed, we could scarcely
realize that the unwashed, uncombed,
unfed and almost unclad creatures we
saw were officers of rank and reputa
tion in the army.
To the North, Thanksgiving brought
a more cheerful atmosphere, for here
the horrors were not so acute and
there was at least comfort and food
and partial happiness. It was the
fourth Thanksgiving since the war be-
gan, and it was hailed as likely to be
the last that would see the rebellion
still active. As thev sat about the
re - elected. The memory of the car- i
nage of the Wilderness campaign was
dimmed by the triumphs of Farragut,
Sherman and Sheridan. The trend
of events was unmistakeable.
TIME DIFFERENCES.
Eiffel Tower-Arlington Tests Made
at Rate of 175,000 Miles a Second.
(Washington Dispatch.)
The long series of tests to deter
mine by . radio telegraphy the dif
ference in time between Washing
ton and Paris have been concluded.
The difference in longtitude is de
clared to be five hours and 17 min
utes, 36.658 seconds. This is the first
time that differences of longitude and
time have been determined by the
use of wireless. '
The tests were conducted from the
naval observatory and the Arlington
radio station here and the Eiffel
Tower in Paris. These signals were
transmitted 175,000 miles a second.
The distance on a great circle be
tween the two points is 3,831 miles.
Ten American observatories used
the Arlington signals to determine
their own longitudes after they had
been furnished by the naval obser
vatory with the necessary data.
French and American naval officers
conducted the tests, each group ex
changing places in the middle of the
series of observations. The two
naval observatory groups consisted
of Prof. B. F. Little, Lieut. W. T.
Mallison and Ensigns H. E. Saunders
and R. A. Lavender and Assistant
Astronomers R. B. Coffman and C:

To render Thee the homage: -Our

The largest realm of human need.
We thank Thee for our daily bread,
For constant blessings on us shed;
The seed time and the harvest, too,
From year to year dost Thou renew.
We thank Thee for the matchless

Through Jesus to our fallen race,
That opened up the shining way
By faith to realms of endless day.
We thank Thee for the Man of God

COLLEGE GIRLS PLAN
TO ADOPT WAIFS.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 25. If a plan
proposed by Jackson College girls to
day is carried out and there is every
indication that it will be students
wlil become foster mothers of waifs
who otherwise might never have any
homes.
The classes are to adopt homeless
children as class babies, and find
homes for them among relatives of
the students.
The plan originated with Miss Lena
Greenwood, president of the senior
class, and was taken up by the pres
idents of the other classes, Miss
Dorothy Hart, '16; Helen Rowe, '17,
and Jane Davis, '18. Miss Davis is
the daughter of the dean.
"The girls would get some benefit
from thp nlan " laiil Miss Orpivnwnivl '
I today, "for besides creating a certain I
amount of college spirit it would give J
the girls an insight into social ser
vice work, which many plan to take up
as a life work."
World Series Football.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
When the big Red, White and
Black team came on the field it was
loudly cheered by its adherents, led
by Cheer-Gen. vou Bernhardi. The
Kaiser won the toss and decided to
attack the western goal. On the kick
off the ball went to Belgium on her
own three-yard line. England protest
ed to U. Sam, the referee, accusing
the Kaiser of offside play, but the
protest was overruled. Liege was
unable to gain and the ball went to
the Kaiser. Three rushes through
center failed to gain, but on the
fourth down Kluck, for the Teutons,
made a wild dash around end and
brought the' ball into French terri
tory. From this time to the end of the
first period the Kaiser's advance was
irresistible. The allies played game
ly, forcing their opponents to go to
the fourth down for each gain, but
they lacked the defensive power to
regain the ball. On France's 30-yard
line the Kaiser was penalized 10
yards for slugging Lcuvain. A quick
forward pass, Kluck to Wurtemberg,
brought the ball to France's three-
i yard line. The light players of the
aiiies team sppmpd tn bp nn mntcTT

grandstands were already preparing
to leave the field when the allies
braced and held the Kaiser's huskies
around right end for a 15-yard gain
The period ended with the ball on J
France's 18-yard line. Score. 0-0. In j
this period both teams used the old
style offensive and defensive game.
Kluck's one pass, 27 yards, being tlu
only example of the open style. The
Kaiser rushed 280 yards, was lild
once for downs and was penalizetT 10
yards. The allies rushed 15 yards
foward, but most of their rushing
backward was purely tactical, bring-,
ing their grand total to 295 yards, j
Rheims and Louvain were badly hurt i
in two of the rougher plays and -had
to retire.
