TURKEYS PLENTIFUL
If the turkey price is lower than
it should be this year it is likely
due to the increase in numbers,
thinks R. B. Rice, who returned Sat
urday from an extended visit in the
middle west. Rice was in town Tu
esday marketing some of his birds
and related that in all the farming
districts visited in Kansas and ad
joining states turkeys were in evi
dence everywhere. Undressed birds
sold for 21 cents a pound prior to
Thanksgiving and the price fell to 12
cents immediately after the tradi
tional turkey day. Christmas birds
brought prices ranging from 20 cents
the pound in Heppner this week.
Our Christmas would not be complete
unless we expressed our deep apprecia
tion for your patronage, and wished
you every success the coming year.
