CHRISTMAS TURKEY MARKET
NOW OPEN
Turkeys are coming in daily and our dressing plant is
running on schedule time.
Some complaint is being made about the price now
being paid for turkeys. Our only explanation is it
would suit us far better were we able to pay 30 and
35 cents for your birds than to be forced to offer the
present market price, which when compared to the
Thanksgiving market looks like something is v/rong.
We venture this suggestion, that the visible supply is
far greater this year than last, at least the Northern
market men say so.
WE PAY HIGHEST MARKET PRICES—SEE US

fifty basis. The seniors lost, the
score being 14-6, but the juniors
went “over the top,” the score be-
ing 7 to 0. There was good play-
ing on both sides. Our team will
match Thurber on the Huckaby
court Friday, We still feel lucky.

are extended to all. Admission 15

pils of the grades.
Examinations are disturbing the

pils this week.
