TIIE SUNDAY OR EG ONI AX. PORTLAND. NOTE3IRER 2fi. 1916. 11 THANKSGIVING TO BE OLD-FASHIONED KIND Grouch to Have No Place in Innumerable Gatherings in i. Homes and Institutions. POOR ARE NOT FORGOTTEN Tot of Prisoners to Be Lightened by Feast of Turkey and Provision Is Made for Homeless FT)lk. Bird to Cost More. Portland Is laying plans for an old fashioned Thanksgiving. It's a far cry from th elaborate menus of next Thursday to the few grains of corn as the entree, roast, des Bert and all the other courses for the Fturdy old Pilgrim Fathers on that long-fro but always memorable first ThanKselvtng. but. Just the same, the holiday will be of the old-fashioned sort, w,Jh all the traditions and moth eaten and cobwebby customs so inti mately connected -with this great American feyst day. Even the mince pies will have brandy In them In full accord with due and established custom. This is more than can be said for the mince pies of next year's vintage, alack the day! Thousands of Tnrkrya Main. From soup to the printer's name, .which is below nuts, the menus of next Thursday -will have the time-honored Thanksgiving viands In generous quan tities. Far and -wide that great Amer ican bird, the turkey, is giving up his collective life by the many thousands to grace the dinner tables of Thanks giving day. It is a prime essential, of course, that everyone shall be of the greatest pos sible degree of thankfulness when he sits down to the feast. A great big Thanksgiving dinner spread before a grouch is. perhaps, the saddest of all Had things at this season of the year. Rut anyone, no matter who he may be, must beam with satisfaction if be finds himself blessed with a Uirkey for din ner next Thursday, for the bird is high in pi ice more so, probably, than in the history of recent Thanksgivings in I'ortland. r.5 Cents Is Kiprrlcd Price. The turkey market, locally, will not be made beforo .omorrow, when it is expected prices that the Portland house holder will have to pay will be estab lished. It cannot be told, exactly, what tiie price will be, but shrewd Kuessers surmise the market will open strong and that .15 cents per pound for fine; fat turkeys will prevail. I'oor !ot to Be Korgotten. T5ui the day will also have signifi cance loca.lly as one which will be ob served collectively. Churches, lodges. Institutions, homes, societies, clubs and ever so many kinds of social groups will have something special on hand for Turkey day. Charitable institutions will not fall to gladden the hearts of those placed in their care with special cheer. The unfortunate, the sick and the unhappy will not be forgotten by others more blessed. The hospitals will have special ob ervances to mark the occasion and patients will be made happier by the (lay's gaieties. . The observances of the day in Portland will run the entire gamut of humanity, leaving out neither young nor old. Even the jails will have some special menus and observ ances to celebrate Thanksgiving. Churches to Vnite in Services. The First Baptist, the First Metho dist, the First Christian and First Con gregational churrhes, of the West Side, will hold a union Thanksgiving serv ice at the White Temple Thursday morning at 11 o'clock.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted on castor oil. calomel, cathartics. How you hated them. how you fought agatns-t taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's j-evolt Is well founded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take It: that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful driven today saves a sick child tomor row. Ask your druggist, for a 50-cent bot tle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that It Is made by . "California Fig Syrup Company." Re ' fus any other kind with contempt. Adv. Several Wholesalers and Hetailers Assert Packers Agree Scarcity Is Serious and Goods Can Only Be Apportioned. The reported crop shortages, which are said to be responsible for the un usual prices on all canned foods this year, have aroused considerable dis cussion among local merchants as to the actual Quantity of goods in the market. One local buyer yesterday ex pressed his confidence that lower prices would prevail within a short time, and that the decline in wheat prices would be a signal for a general decline. Opposed to this belief are the state ments of several retail and wholesale grocers, who assert that reports from all packers agree in showing serious shortages. A letter from one large manufacturer of canned goods has been received here with a schedule showing the proportion of all orders, that can be delivered. From a comparison of orders received with the amount of canned foodstuffs on hand, the manu facturer announces that on some orders quantities as low as 10 per cent can be delivered on orders. Canned corn is scheduled for deliveries as follows: Oolden Bantam, 55 . per cent; Country Gentleman, 50 per cent; fancy grade. 50 per cent; extra standard grade, per cent. Tomatoes can be delivered in the following proportions:- Lily or the Valley, from 32 to 100 per cent; fancy grade, from 32 to 50 per cent; extra standard grade, from 30 to 4a per cent. Other Article Scarce. Succotash. lima beans, refugee beans, golden wax beans, pumpkin and squash are also quoted as short, and the same scale of percentages will have to be I observed In filling orders. The reasons for the shortages are given in the letter, which says: "The whole season of 1916, from the early Spring preparation to the final harvest, has been subject to unprece dented bad weather conditions. All planting was hindered and delayed by continuous rains extending over a period of more than two months. "During this period there were dis astrous floods which washed away in all more than 1000 acres of planted crops. Hundreds of acres were planted twice and many helds were replanted the third time. There was much land J that could not be replanted on account or tne lateness or rne season. "Then followed a period of severe and prolonged drought which stunted the growth of all crops and dried up a ; great deal of acreage that was Just maturing. Field after field of the late variety of peas was totally destroyed, and the growth of corn, beans, beets tomatoes, pumpkin, etc., was held back to such an extent that their harvest became a matter of doubt. Frost Also Does Damage. "Following this drought ' conditions improved somewhat. There were abun dant rain and rapid growth. Had the damaging frosts not come until the usual time, we would have harvested hundreds of acres which have been totally, destros'ed. "We fully appreciate the loss and disappointment which this calamity means to our trade, but we feel that the burden which has been placed upon us has been a greater one. We have secured no returns from our rents, seed, fertilizer, etc. We have lost completely the great amount of labor used in plowing, fitting, planting and culti vating. "These losses, borne by us as the farmer, have added greatly to the heavy burdens which the packer must bear when bis factories lie idle and his profits are absorbed in short de liveries." . Speculation It PoxKible. That an anomalous condition of the market has resulted from such hap penings in certain localities is pointed out by several local buyers. Oppor tunities for speculation, they say, are opened up by the uncertainty of most Duyf rs as to tne actual quantity ui goods in the market. Dealers, when advised to stock up in certain lines, are sometimes likely to buy heavily without ascertaining the actua extent of a supply. Shortages reported, it is said, are often used as a lever to raise prices. That actual scarcities exist In many commodities, particularly certain kinds of canned goods, is generally accepted, but for the benefit of buyers a careful scrutiny of the entire market has been deemed advisable.
