The Most Popular
Thanksgiving Bird
With apologies to the bald eagle,
It is appropriate to refer to the tur-
key as the great American bird The
association of this species of fowl
with the Thanksgiving day festivi-
ties places It upon the highest pinna-
cle of fame. The few specimens tak-
en back to Spain by Christopher Col-
umbus aroused the greatest curiosity
and Interest in that country, and
subsequent Imports of the bird with-
in fifty years stirred Europe to its
center. The turkey*—pavo or pea-
cock In Spain, dindon in France,
trutkahn in Germany, and kalkun in
Scandinavian countries—was found
by millions in the forests of North
America, Central America and Mex-
ico when the white men came to the
western shores.
The name given to the turkey is a
little obscure, but it seems to have
arisen in London from an almost
trivial circumstance. It appears that
about the time of the birth of Queen
Elizabeth a hardy navigator brought
a consignment of these birds from

America to the London market. Pur-
veyors of the aristocratic houses of
London found them, bought them,
tried them, and then wanted more.
London tradesmen were asked the
name of the fowl, and, because ev-
erything .then was brought from
Turkey, those asking for the infor-
mation were told that they came
from Turkey* and the London mar-
kets as those "Turkey birds." This
is one of many tales told to account
for the Btrange naming of the Amer-
ican bird, and is probably as good
as any. The turkey has been domes-
ticated, as far as it is possible, and
long ago became a large factor in
domestic commerce.
Once Turkey State.
Rhode Island for many years held
chief prominence as the turkey-rais-
ing state.
Now Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa,
Nebraska and Kentucky dispute su
preme and literally send millions of
these birds annually to market to be
consumed largely at Thanksgiving
and Christmas feasts.
The scientific name given the tur
key is Meleagrldae. Meleager, in an
ancient Greek legend, was leader of
the Calydonian hunt, who saved the
beautiful Princess Atlanta from the
savage attack of a wild boar, and
thereby gained fame. This scientific
name seems just about as applicable
to the great American bird as tur-
key, but it has the approval of sci-
ence, and that is enough. Three vari-
eties made up the original stock of
wild turkeys on this continent. They

the birds takon to *111111 by I'ulim-

the course of 400 years, six varieties
have been evolved, known as the
bronze , Narragansett, butt", slate,
white and black. The while and
black birds are "freaks" from the
three original species.
The turkey has never been more
than half domesticated. It is still es-
sentially a wild bird. It roams (he
fields in flocks, feeds upon insects
and stray grains during the late sum

when Cardul, the woman's tonic,
was first brought to her attention.
After she had taken Cardui a while,

the shelter of the barnyard when the
food supply fails. Young turkeys
seem to distrust man and all his
works, and each generation of tur-
keys has to be tamed. The birds do
become quite docllp under careful
management, but the hen turky for-
ever seeks the wild in which to steal
her nest and rear her young. Testi-
mony is not lacking that it costs less
to raise a turkey than any other
fowl, and to the ultimate consumer
In the Thunksgiving and Christmas
period they cost more than any
other fowl, so that somebody makes
a good profit on the anual product.
One of the Oldest Birds.
The turkey is doubtless one of the
oldest birds in America and always
occupied an Important place in the
domestic life of the Indians. The Pil-
grims at Plymouth learned the value
of the turkey from the Massasoit In-
dians. Columbus found it in the
West Indies. Cortez was feasted up-
on turkey in Mexico and Peru. The
Maya people embodied the turkey
in their oldest hieroglyphics and the
scientists of the Smithsonian, delv-
ing among the ruins of Arizona,
found a mumified turkey, and the
remains of nearly $11 the cliff dwel-
lers in the Southwest give up the
bones of the turkey. It is a staple
food among the red men from the
earliest times, as it has come to be
in civilized lands around the globe.
Benjamiu Franklin desired lo
make the turkey the national bird,
but was outvoted by others, who
seemed to find a truer connection
between the bald eagle and the In-
domitable spirit of the American re-
public. It may.be the screaming ea-
gle better suits the ways of war and
poets' dreams, but the turkey occu-
pies a specially warm place in the
affections of the American people.

HOME BENEFIT
IS GROWING FAST
The Homo Benefit, a Local Mutu-
al Aid Asociation, of Paris, Texas,
has fully demonstrated its ability to
furnish dependable life insurance to
the people of Northeast Texas at a
lower cost fhan any other Company
or Association. Their Group No. 1
policy is worth a full $1,000 and
only cost last year $6.30 and up to
the present time this year $5.20
They can issue three policies .on
people from 20 to 55 years • old
which will give the insured ultl
mately $5,000 of life Insurance
which, according to their present
cost should be carried for something
like $45.00 per year.
The Home Benefit is serving, the
older people, up to 68 years 'old,
with two policies which ultimately
will be worth a $1,000 and these
policies are as great a saving as our
other policies. They, also, are fur-
nishing 'children's life insurance at
remarkably low cost. The Home
Benefit had made a reputation of
paying their death claims before
burial and thereby, in every instance
rendering first financial assistatic to
the family of the deceased.
There are quite a number of Red
River County people who carry
these low cost policies and those
who are in good health should com
munlcate with Mr. C. H. Humph-
reys, Special Representative, at the

LIGHTS HIS PIPE;
GAS EXPLODES
Texarkana, Texas,—An explosion
believed to have been caused by an
accumulation of sewer gas blew out
a wall of a rest room on the first
floor of the new 375,000 Municipal
Building here, setting fire to the
room. The flames were quickly ex-
tinguished. A wall on the top floor
also was cracked and a gust of up-
rushing air halted an elevator. Other
parts of the building were not dam-
aged.
The explosion is believed to have
occurred when an assistant engin-
eer, who was in the rest room,
struck a match to light his pipe. The
man was painfully burned about the
face aud Ivands.
LOGIC
Bobbie was reading history, and
looking up suddenly, he asked:
"What is beheaded, mother?"
"Having one's head cut off. dar-
liug," she replied.
After a thoughtful moment Bob-
bie remarked: "I suppose defeated
is having one's feet cut off?"

MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT
BRINGS QUICKEST RELIEF.
Sufferers from such conditions as
those mentioned above can get quick
er relief than they have dreamed
was possible. No matter how severe
the pain, you can get rid of the ago-
ny without dosing and without tak-
ing powerful drugs into your sys-
tem. |
In those sections of the country'
where Mexican Mustang Liniment is
known, it has been used for years—
in many places families have used it
for more than fifty years and al-
ways have it ready for emergency
uses. It is just as successful for heal-
ing cuts, bruises and sores as it is
for rheumatic aches and pains. It
possesses almost magical penetrat-
ing power—going immediately to
the sore spot and taking away the
pain. This is the secret of its won-
derful healing powers. All druggists
and wholesalers sell Mustang Lini-
ment or they can get It for you.

da, had a population of 20,000 dur-
ing the Klondike rush 25 years utjo.
Today it has 1,200.
