Suggestions CROWNING EVENT OF THE YEAR The Allied Excess Offerings at Roseburg Break Market. ' from PIRDS ARE UNUSUALLY FINE 10 TURKEYS 28C For $5 Jlealcrs Pay 3 0 Cents Thursday and Friday, So With Hlgli Prices or Grain, Growers Flood Market and Quotation Drops ROSEBURG. Or., Nov. 21. (Special.) Today practically closed the Thanksgiving- market for turkeys in this Since Thursday approximately 4000 Mrds were shipped to outside .markets. Those who held their-birds for market ing until today met a slump in prices over yesterday, of from 2 to 5 cents. Prime birds brought 28 cents today, while the-culls sold for 25. Two of the largest local buyers paid 30 cents a pound Friday for all the birds they could get, where the quality was good, and 28 cents for culled turkeys. The record price of 30 cents was paid for turkeys yesterday. Friday the mar ket started off at 27 cents early In the day, then It went to 28 cents and finally all the large buyers set a fixed price of 30 cents for prime birds. Turkeys delivered yesterday aggregated approx imately 60,000 pounds, and there were few to be culled, the output being of excellent quality and size. Today, however, witnessed the cli max for marketing this product and showed a considerable increase In birds over that of yesterday. Owing to the high cost of feed, few farmers are holding their turkeys over for the holi days and the prevailing price of 30 cents was such a strong incentive to sell that the market was flooded and the price dropped. TURKEYS WOX'T BE OVER 3 0C Wholesale Price Expected to Bo Ap proximately 30 Cents. Thanksgiving turkeys are not likely to roost so high as- was expected a few lays ago. From the best Information, that eould be obtained' yesterday, prices at retail for the best turkeys will not be more than. 35 cents. Just where the Thanksgiving- market of last year stood. If anything, it Is said, the market Is likely t,o be a little lower, rather than higher than this quotation, so that many likely birds may probably be picked up at less- than the 35-cent per pound quotation. The committee named by Acting Food Administrator Newell to confer on tur key prices with the view to stabilizing quotations has not yet suggested what a fair price would be for Thanksgiving fowls, so a9 yet forecasts are unoffi cial. The committee will meet tomor row at ISO, when, it is likely definite prices will be reported. It is known, however, that whole salers are expecting to handle prime turkeys for Thanksgiving at 30 cents a pound andi the retail price is 5 cents above the wholesale figure. Dealers yesterday forecast 35 cents as the top price for turkeys this week. i y , : i : sS&y - -' ' ' "'y '" ' y I r -. -' r "? f J ! X I v - . ' . 1 1 tv" . ' .-"; ' - 'If '" -' " r j t v i ; MRS.

Chris topher Brown walked Into the local recruiting station, of the United States JIarine Corps today and, after an nouncing the fact that he was from Braintree. said he wanted to enlist. ; "The idea of enlisting is a good one," eaid the recruiting sergeant, "but what Is Braintree a breakfast food or an educational Institution?" "It is a town in Massachusetts the only town in the United States that . ever produced two Presidents," proudly replied Brown. "John Adams was born " there and so was John Quincy Adams. John Hancock was born there, too, as was Colonel Charles G. Long, chief of staff of the Marine Corps. If you take me into the Marine Corps I may be running the thing in a year or two." But Christopher Brown had flat feet and so can't be a United States marine, although he finds comfort in the thought that he may some day be President. MANN ACT HOLDS BUCKAROO Dyke Hill, Round-XJp Star, to Be Tried Tomorrow. Xyke Hill, a buckaroo. who starred Jn riding wild horses at the Wild West show in Portland last July and later at the Pendleton Roundup, will be brought into Federal Court tomorrow to answer to a charge of having vio lated the Mann act. It is charged that lie made the acquaintance of an 18-year-old girl in Portland at the time of his appearance here and induced her to go to Centralia, Wash., with him. Hill is said to have left Centralis directing the girl to follow to Aber deen, but she was arrested and held for debts of Hill's. Then her story came out. William Harris, another rider, will face a perjury charge at the conclu nion of the Hill case, as he is said to have handled the truth with reckless abandon while trying to shield Hill before the grand Jury. RAILROAD PLANS CANAL O.-AV. K. & X. Slakes Test of Soil Near Cascade Locks. Preliminary work has been under. taken by engineers of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. to test the character of the soil underlying the surface near the right of way just west of Cascade Locks preliminary to constructing a $100,000 drainage system for the protection of the main line tracks. As yet only preliminary work is authorized and test pits are being dug. An appropriation of $5000 has been made for the purpose. It i3 likely that an underground drainage canal will be built that will provide an outlet for underground , streams that have in the past caused slides and shifting of the surface ground over a considerable area. Re alignment of tracks has been neces eary at times. Po Ell Light Plant Knocked Out PB ELL, Wash,, Nov. 24. (Special.) Pe Ell is again without lights.

The "Little Grand" in General and One in Particular There are solid reasons for the steadily increasing popularity of the little grand piano. It gives the action and tone of the grand in a space very little greater than that occupied by an up right, and, in the case of the Harrington Little Grand, at very little greater cost. The Harrington is built under the supervision and guarantee of Hardman, Peck & Co. and shows the character and quality which have made that firm famous. Priced at $593 and sold on very easy terms. To see it and hear it are to admire and lqve it. To Play to Play- -Or Not Yourself Some men buy a player-piano In order to operate it personally and put their own ideas into the performance. Others prefer a piano which operates automatic ally, giving the interpretation of some great pianist. The Euphona Electric fills both requirements. You can play it yourself or it will play for you. In either case it gives the greatest degree of musical and per sonal satisfaction that its price has ever secured in a player-piano. It is a truly wonderful instru ment and we are proud to have it on our floors. Come in and try it for yourself. t A 11 ci nibfil . w., run. i u.
