Day.
ds of
to 1;
iursclay is ihaiiKSgivmg—
On that day hundreds of
Gobblers will go to the
id on the tables of the na-
tion. No other bird takes the place of
the turkey for this occasion, and the de-
mand has grown so great the last few
years that it is greater than the supply,
consequently the price is high and Tex-
as benefits greatly by this as Texas is
the greatest turkey producing state in
the Union. In New York turkeys are__
selling for fifty cents a pound, and In this state
producers are being paid 80 to 35 cq'nts a pound,
in some sections these birds are driven to mar-
ket in great droves like cattle, and is becoming
an industry of considerable proportions.

Credit is the most valuable thing a person
can have. Money may be had by various means,
but credit comes from years of honesty and
promptness in meeting bills when due. When

And the plank is tilted in this way; the

So, no man employed by a successful con-
