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.

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

could almost hear the crackle and
hiss of logs and behold the shooting
embers.
A great open fire always recalls
Grandpa's hired man. Ed. I remem
ber him last on one of those falllsh
mornings, rubbing his hands before
the blaze and sighing "This makes a

summer wages."
