Li In part, for bis mito the West and South«lfe * JIMI® of the tarttey winptadtistry lm the nearby territory which formerly supplied the great eastern markets is doutbless due to the appearance and spread of a peculiar disease which poul try men know as blackhead. When the disease gets establish^! in a flock It is almost impossible to grow turkeys to maturity. , This disorder seems to be due to the action of a micro-organism, but the facts regarding the specflc organism, the methods of infection and how the trouble may be prevented or controlled, are still to be worked out Another limiting factor In turkey raising is range. The turkey Is essentially a bird of the open spaces and' has nev er been domesticated to anything like the same degree as chickens. To do well it needs unrestricted freedom, full liberty to wander at will over fields and through woodland, where it finds its natural food. &x: IL •ft. tfa*; /¥?oto 4>y -rrwrA foumtar*- ,-r -V 5 SWEET PICKLES S^LAD PRESSING ^CATSUP Oklahoma Senate Votes Unanimously to Oust the Staffs Executive.

The decision of the senate automatically advances Lieut. Gov. M. E. Trapp to the governorship. The formal verdict ordering the removal of Governor Walton from office followed nfter he had been found guilty of 11 Of 16 charges presented. Six of the original 22 charges constituting the impeachment bill were dropped by order of the court. The vote ejecting the governor from office was 41 to 0. One senator was not present. By a standing vote the court denied a new trial, which was asked by defense counsel when the verdict was rendered. Articles of impeachment against Governor Walton were filed almost - two months ago following the warfare between the chief executive and the Ku Klux Klan, which the governor tried to drfve from the state. Since the charges were filed, counsel for Governor Walton has tried numerous plans Qf .stopping the proceedings, bat they all failed. Governor Walton was not In the Senate chamber when the court of Impeachment handed down its verdict.

The peo- ^ pie of the United States of America should celebrate this truly American . holiday with heartfelt enthusiasm. For even the most casual comparison of things here and abroad should make us thankful that we are Americans and at home in America. This is not a preachment, but really the churches should be quite as crowded on the last Thursday ip November as are the places of amusements, to, say the least. Certainly we have much for which to be thankful as a nation, /f I jtind as a Christian people we should make public .v *""i|hank8gjving as "the outward and visible sign of : ^|bn Inward and spiritual grace." The man who * (Cannot see the hand of Divine Providence In oar American history is lpdeed blind. Suppose the American people went In mass to y "their churches Thanksgiving morning and made public return of thanks to Divine Providence, they .v^ v4<t>ould 111 P®1*®** truth words to this effect: . * - Almighty God, we thank Thee on this Thankaglv- ' V ^ng Day That we are at peace with ourselves and with ^••;/^pdl the world-; », That oar land Is still the United States of Amerf" ",--v4ca; That Old Glory flies in greater grandeur than ever; That we are still freemen, as to the beginning; That our homes are our own and Inviolate; That no foreign Overlord orders our destinies; /"V t That still our* Is "life, Itoerty and ^liappiness"; • That no pauper's dole 1* our portion; That prosperity beyond our proportion Is ours; That it is our hand that is stretched forth to starving of other lands; That the Bed Death is held at bay; * \'Jra That Thy hand, as ever, still guides this nation;- fri * . Jf^ And as for the rest of the day, the Thanksgiving 1 ~<41nner is the main thing--tk>t entirely for the sake I'xjot the feast itself, but largely because the feast is '.^f^jthe crowning touch of a day that Is peculiarly a ^ Jday of the home and the family. A man with iiSfnoney In his pocket can buy a turkey dinner on '4 '.^Thanksgiving Day Almost anywhere from Plymouth - " -jRoek to Cabrlllo and from Peskan to Tuniacacori, « ^i)ut if he has a home and isn't there he's apt to l>e mighty lonesome. True it i^--and rnore's the ;J)lty--that a good many Americans in these latter ijt- -".^days live in upartments and off the delicatessen ' nA^Bhops, but Just the same there Is many an oldfashioned home left where an old-fashioned fam- * * * ;'.riHy will eat an old-fashioned Thanksgiving Day jdinner of turkey and fixin's and "punkin" pie-- |^;«.'i ^vhich is one of the many things for which we ~'S"\ i^iould give thanks.

Incidentally he was a good friend and ally of the Pilgrims, but he deserves the statue if only for the fket that he Introduced them to the wild turkey. and the pumpkin. It seems to be taken for granted that roast turkey, cranberry sauce, succotash and pumpkin pie were served at that first Thanksgiving dinner in 1621 when the Pilgrims celebrnted the gathering of their first harvest. Probably they Were. Anyway, the woods were full of turkeys and the Indians had evolved an agricultural schema that was as simple as It was efficient. They planted corn In rows and beans in the same hills to climb up the cornstalks and pumpkins between the rows to shade the ground and keep down tte weeds--and all cultivated with one hoelnftl f • • • . • • • The wild turkey, alas! has traveled far'on the way of the great buffalo herds that once covered the plains and of the vast fiocks of passenger pigeons that once darkened the skies. Bat the tame turkey has come to take his place and haa marched across the continent with the American people. He has done that In more senses than one, Inasmuch as he has practically abandoned New England and the Middle states for the West, and the Southwest. Why our Thanksgiving bird should be called turkey Is one of the mysteries. He originated here. America gave him to the world. He Is oar own bird--"made In America." And of all the domestic birds about our farms and poultry yards the turkey is the only one that is strictly our own. When the European reached the Western Hemisphere he found turkeys plentiful In Central America, Mexico, the United States and Canada. The southern birds were smaller and darker than those of the north. In Mexico there were both W8d and tame turkeys, the natives raising the lat- -tvt for food on an extensive scale. ^ Record of the date of the appearance of the first < turkeys in Europe is missing, but the early Spanish explorers took back birds to Spain. From there they qnlckly spread to France and Englaad. The American turkey was a good thing and Europe was quick to recognize It. By the end of the Seventeenth century they were very generally bred throughout Europe. The wild turkey of the United States is a taaf» nlficent bird. Originally he was as numerous as the beaver or the deer--literally uncountable. For a long time they were plentiful. They learned the way of the hunter early and developed a cunning often more than a match for that of the man with a gun. Within the experience of living men Michigan, for instance, was so full of them that a man walking through the forests from Detroit to St. Joe was never out of sight of the flocks hurrying off through the trees. Then they seemed to disappear all at once all over the country. Civilisation and settlement probably had as much to do jrtth it as the shotgun and rifle. Civilization Inevitably drives out wild life, even where wild life It protected by law. Clearance of tlmberland, draintag of swamps, cultivation of open country de- ^ prlved the turkey of his natural habitat. Now a place wild enough to afford reiu#a ***** It a wilderness Indeed. 1 . • • * • • " The tame turkey of the United States IS an Individual sort of bird, with ways and notions of bis Oirn.. This makes him a hard bird to raise sad Obviously, a slsable flock of tur- E|teya will do much damage to growing crops, where farms are ' Relatively small. <3 Anyway, In comparatively recent years one could find nice flocks of these meaty birds on n large proportion of the farms of * New England > and the Middle states, but now such flocks are so rare as to be almost a curiosity In this territory. It Is estimated that Illinois does not produce enough birds to supply more than one-tenth of the state's demand, Including Chicago. This means that outside territories must supply tui" keys for Chicago consumers. Whether it is In the blizzard sections of the Dakotas and Wyoming or under the scorching sun of the Southwest, gobblers seem to thrive If given plenty of range where they can fill their crops with grasshoppers and bugs. But they must have this, and poultry men east of the Missouri river therefore cannot compete favorably. In the comparatively new territory of the West, turkey raising Is being taken up by many on a large scale. Texas, New Mexico, Pacific coast states, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska and the Dakotas are raising more and more turkeys for eastern and central west markets every year. The Black Hills district of South Dakota nnd Wyoming contribute largely, too. The largest turkey ranch In the country is thougKt to be in Nevada. The new home of the turkey Is apparently to be the American Southwest. Hits does not mean that the business will stop In the central west. It does mean, however, that competition in the west will hate to be dealt with and that .noVe intensive breeding methods must be resorted to, with the Idea of producing a highclass strain of turkeya that will be needed by west* ern poultrymen. If mldwesterners will devote more time to breeding stock, to sell at a fancy price, and pay less attention to turkeys for meat purposes, the competitive angle probably will not be serious. ~~ How the prices have soared! In 1880 the prices were these: The ifiMet terluya spld atlteeatp and fair at 7^ cents. • • •« . * . -iU* A resolve that every good American shouM*matte Is to have as good a time every Thanksgiving Day as Is possible and make the Thanksgiving dinner the crowning feature of the day. For the chemists, you know, will get us before long, If we don't watch out. They are threatening synthetic food, balanced rations of It, and all that sort of thing. And then what will become of our Thanksgiving dinner? Here's the way one of them--his name la suppressed out of consideration for his family --talks of the way the chemists will get us--not yet, but soon: "Synthetic chemistry must face the problem of making synthetic food. A mountain of limestone and a waterfall supply the chemical raw materials and energy required to make sugars and starches. A balanced ration will be evolved, possibly largely synthetic, which will eliminate all digestive disturbances and at the same time make onr minds and bodies more efficient to an extent almost beyond belief. At that time humanity will look back on the eating of promiscuous viands in very much the way that we look back the drunKen debauches of the Middle ages." % « • • • •* Some of these days an American tnnsftfan will earn everlasting fame and the gratitude (,t his countrymen by writing Just the right kind of a Thanksgiving Song--one that expresses in both words and music the real spirit of Thanksjdvlng Day. Christmas, JBaster, Independence Day nnd many of our other national holidays are well off a% to appropriate musical expression. \ But what is there for Thanksgiving Day? To be sure, we might sing "Home, Sweet Home," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Swanee Bibber," or even the "Dox ology." But none of these famous airs Is quite adequate to the occasion. Yes, immortal fame Is the sure reward of anyone who shall.write a song that voices the spirit of Thanksgiving Day in a way to awaken a response In the hearts and minds of the American people.

From the financial standpoint the canal netted a profit of $12,063,880 from all sources, excluding the Panama Railway Steamship line, as compared with $9,201,013 In the fiscal year 1922, and traffic operations Increased on a scale that has brought the waterway to a point of "rapidly overhauling the Suez canal."

In the last year. 40,000 um- . ^Ipbrellas have been left lri public con- E;v ^Hwyancea--double the prewar number. JXiearly 25,000 pocketbooks have been returned, whereas the average number before the war was about 10,600. More than 20,000 wrist watches are turned In annually, and about as many hand bags. The amount of lost and found Jewelry has increased enormously. The officials believe that this Increase in the business of the lost property otuce is not at all due to the greater honesty of finders In turning in what they discover, but that It la rauaed by the excitement and sutler ings of the war days and the strain of the years that have followed the conflict. The average mind and the average nerves of today ore not what they were ten years ago. Some curious requests are received at the lost property office.
