MEDFORD MAIL TRIE UN E, MEDFOKL), OREGON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 1933. PAGE SEVEN TO L Will Rogers loved hia chili, but bar becued Iamb or kid wre his pet ftver alou5. Billy McKinnon, veteran Hous ton restaurant man recalls. McKinnon. at whose restaurant Rogers ate more than 20 years ago, considered Will the only notable who was "one of the family." "On one occasion when Will was in town." McKinnon relates. "I had some fine barbecued lamb and I was sim ply proud of It. I urged Will to try some. 'No. sir, Billy,' Will replied, 'and I'll tell you why." "Then he went on to tell me about an old cow hand who took nn eastern tenderfoot to an Indian settlement for a barbecue. " 'After the feed was over.' Will continued, 'the easterner went to thank the chief for the line barbe cue. " "That was a great barbecue, chief,' he said. 'What was It. kid or lamb?' " 'Do you know what the chief an swered?' Will chuckled. " 'Heap fine dog. that, huh.' he grunted.' " WARM SPRINGS. Ga., Nov. 22. (AP) President Roosevelt talked I little of the forthcoming London na. val conference today but his chief interest was Georgia's warm sunshine and the mail from Washington. It was his first day of the annual Thanksgiving vacation at his retreat on Pine mountain. In regard to the London naval con ference, he said navy personnel for the coming year necessarily would be Increased to the ultimate 100.000 to tal provided by congress. He explained this was necessary be cause of replacement of ships requir ing more man power. . Construction of the new battleship allowed under existing treaty, he said, would be held up temporarily. No callers were listed today. Fewer but Fatter Turkeys This Year Awaiting Descent of Thanksgiving Ax PUGH HELD FOR PROBE Kyle Pugh, 49, miner, under a state prison sentence for conviction of criminal syndicalism, was held to the Multnomah county grand Jury at Portland on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon with bonds fixed at $3,000 on the new. charge. Pugh Is at liberty on bonds on an appeal to the supreme court from the -Jackson county conviction. Photographs and fingerprints of Pugh were sent to Portland yesterday by the district attorney's office. WASHINGTON (AP) Thanksgiv ing day's ancient concomitant the turkey is fatter, for the annual national sacrifice, than last year, but his numbers are sharply smaller. Government estimates put turkey production for this year at about 15,000,000 against 17,250,000 for last year and 18.740,000 for 1933. Not withstanding these melancholy sta tistics, the agriculture department offers encouragement that there'll be enough, of both white and dark meat to go around. Namely, that gobblers and "hens waiting for the 1935 ax, average considerably heav ier than they did last year. The reascn Is that In 1934 the drouth. with Its shortage of feeds, com pelled farmers to market some pret-, ty skinny specimens, neither 80 mature nor so rounded as might have been wished. Where Production Slipped The sharpest production decrease this year was reported for the lead ing producing area, the south cen tral states, whero numbers are down, nays the department, abcut 25 per cent, due principally to a short crop In Texas. In the east north central states the reduction is put at 9 per cent: in the west north central states at 14 per cent: in the far western states about five per cent. The north Atlantic divi sion about held Us own; and only the south Atlantic division stands out with an increase, and that is little enough about two per cent. The two biggest producing states. Texas and North Dakota, are esti mated to be 33 per cent below last year In turkey turnout. Long time records indicate some 80 per cent of all Uncle Sams' tur keys are raised west of the Missis sippi river a long way from their earliest home In New England, a home made precarious ,by the blun derbusses of the early settlers seek ing Thanksgiving fare two centuries ago. Today this formerly wild bird is raised In some sections on a gigantic scale, some western farms having flocks numbering more than 5.000. The south central states lead all the rest In production, followed closely by the far western and west north central areas. Prices Hlpher Government officials decline to make estimates as to percentage production by sections, but unof ficial computations from ofriciai figures give the south central area about 28 per cent of all production, roughly -26 per cent apiece to the far west and north central sections, and the other 20 per cent well scat tered over the country. Along with the relative shortage this year in supply, came higher turkey prices. Farm prices for Octo ber, the latest available, were about 16 cents a pound, against 12.7 cents at the same time In 1934. Not even chickens the usual Thanksgiving substitute In many a family un able to buy the traditional bird are plentiful. Mnrketlngs have been unusually low. Feldmann Leaves Edward C.

' NEW YORK DAY BY DAY Ry O. O. Mclntyre decide the fate of what was mirrored and chromlumed into New York's smartest restaurant. Too smart, toe expensive for the times. To profit, the enterprise on the old Embassy site had to gross 91,000 dally. The first night's Intake was $1,600, but never more than $500 after that. That strange residential looking cafe with high Iron fence, grass plot and signless, known merely as "No. 31," continues the current gold mine In caviar catering. It Is cramped, awkwardly arranged and often drafty. a hold-over from the tacky speakctisy era, yet It turns "people who matter" sway almost daily. Indeed, a half dozen places In the crowded block of cafes were opened solely to catch the overflow from "No, 31." Among regu lars dining are John O'Hara, the novelist, Robert C. Benehley, Joseph Bryan III, Libby Holman and Hcy wood Broun. to return to nevspapera a'tr an absence of two years. Mr. Charles Weschcke. president of the Adlerlka company.

Newspapers are the backbone of our advertising olans because of the influential part they play in the everyday life of the average American family."

Por realism in writing my choice is , Conan Doyle. The way he could make 1 the drab rooms of Sherlock Holmes mellow and Inviting was sheer writ ing drama. When in London I have a feeling I could stroll down Baker street, turn almost without looking into No. 321, walk up the stairs and meet. If not the great sleuth himself, at least the capable-Mrs. Hudson, his housekeeper, or perhaps Watson warming himself with a whiskey and I soda while nwaltlng the return of his cedebrated friend. Too. no one could make an open fireplace giow so en tranclngly In print as Doyle. One could almost hear the crackle and hiss of logs and behold the shooting embers.
