TURKEYS FOR THANKSGIVING
Six Weeks In November and Decern

(Prepared by the United Btatea Department
of Agriculture )
The American public demands tur
key for Thanksgiving, nnd gets It
usually If It Is huinnnly possible. On
no other i'ostlvul of the year do the
people of this country feel It neces
sary to have any ono kind of rucnt,
but Thanksgiving without turkey Is
like Ifrmrlct without the ghoat to most
Americana. Many serve turkey at
OhriHlmas and New Year's also, but
after the holiday svason Is post the
demand for turkeys Is usually ninnll.
TJih? makes the marketing season for
turkeys very short, running as It docs
trorn the middle of November to the
latter part of December.

turkey raisers sell to these dealers,
who often send buyers out Into the
country to gather up a drove of several
hundred birds by stopping nt each
farm ns they pnss, weighing whatever
turkeys tho farmer may linvo to sell,
and adding them to those already col
lected. Turkeys to bo killed nnd dressed on
the l'arm should first be deprived of
feed for 24 hours, but given plenty of
fresh, clean wutcr In order to clean
the crop uud Intestines of all feed.
When ready to kill, the bird should be

the mouth on the right sido of tho
throat, at tho hnse of the skull. After
making this cut nnd bleeding begins,

In dry-plcklng, the feathers should
be plucked Immediately, and It tho
bird has been properly stuck they
come out very easily. The tall nnd
Jarge wing feathers are removed first,
Iter which the body feathers are
pulled out. When the turkoys are to
be Marketed locally or nre to be
hipped but a short distance, they nre
cooled to a temperature of about 05
degrees Fahrenheit by hanging in the
open air, provided the weather is eolrt
enough, otherwise they aro plunged
into ice wntcr and kept there until

After cooling they are packed tin

ANN AniJOR, MICH. Prof. Fran
cis V. Kelsey, head of the de
partment of Lntln In the Univer
sity of Michigan, has Just returned
from a two years leave of absence
with one of the most Important collec
tions of ancient documents yet discov
ered. It consists of more than 120 le
fal papers dating from the reigns of
the Iloninn emnornrn Atitnminn fi.
berlus, Caligula and Claudius, and
uierciore in tho lifetime of Christ or
of the Apostles.
They represent a part of tho flies of

moro thnn a year, Mrs. Elvira
Mlllspnugh Dewey, for years
prominent In Chicago society, 1ms
started suit for divorce In the Superior
court against Cluiuncey Dewey, mil
lionaire ranchman. Mrs. Dewey ac
cuses her husband of cruelty. She Is
living quietly at a Michigan avenue ho
tel. Her husband is on his bin ranch
'In Knnsns.
The couplo were married on April
20. 1008, In Topekn, Knn by tho
bride's father, Rt. Rev. Frank It. Mills
paugli, who was the Episcopal bishop
of Kansas.
Five years before there had been
another girl In Chaunccy Dewey's life.
It wns n dramatic love story. It re
sulted In tho death of the girl's father
and two brothers nnd four others, tho
attempted lynching of Dewey by 250
cowboys and tho dispatching of state
troops 'in a special train to rescue
Dewey, barricaded In his ranch house.
That was when young Dewey, n
college graduate, went out to the north
west corner of Kansas to manage tho
great ranch extending over most of
four counties which had been accumu
lated'at tax sales by his father, C. P.
Dewey, Chicago millionaire. The young
Chicago society man fell In love with

being a friend of John Burroughs. A
breakdown of his health about ten
years ngo caused him to lose his grip
and in 1015 ho became an Inmate of
the city home.
Proctor, when seventeen years old,
was a clerk In tho War department
and had u room In the lodging house
opposite Fordls theater, whero Lincoln
was shot, according to the story told
by him and corroborated with some do
tall iy his friends.

Is n perfect example of an ancient book
or scroll of tho kind referred to in tho
Bible. It dates from the year 42 A. D.
Professor Kelsey brought also a
number of papyri written In Coptic In
the early Christian centuries. The most
Important Is a pnpyrus book consisting
of 12 leaves, in which are written out
the Incantations and formulas used by
a master magician. There nre charms
and curses for various occasions, one
being a love charm. In the prayers
God and the nngcls are invoked ns
well as Isls and Osiris, pngnn divinities

Cowboy in Kansas" i
cF
Bessie Berry, daughter of a rancher,
Daniel Berry.
Embittered by the nggresslons of the
Deweys, Berry opposed the attentions
of Dewey, who was called the "hand
somest cowboy In Kansas." When
Dewey and his cowpuncheis, on June
3, 1003, called at the Berry ranch for
a borrowed cattle trough, the Berrys
opened fire.
Dewey and his men dropped behind
a sod foil co and emptied their six guns.
Berry and his two sons were killed,
A mob of ranchers, attempting to lynch
the Clncagoan, were driven off by
mllltlnmen. The subsequent murder
trials and suits cost Dewey $100,000,
Ho was acquitted. Tho elder Dewey
dropped deud of apoplexy two year?
later. .

ber of men crossed Tenth street, car
rying Lincoln, ulready unconscious
from a bullet In the brain. Proctor
directed .riic party to his room, where
tho Piesldent wns laid upon Ills bed.
According to his story, which Is said
to bo corroborated by a contompornrj
wood cut of tho deathbed scene, Proc

following morning, when the President
breathed his' last.
Proctor is thus probably one of tin
two surviving witnesses of the dentt
of Abraham Lincoln, the other being
his son, Robert T. Lincoln.
Well known histories of Abrahan
Lincoln are blank on the subject of tin
occupant of the room In which Llncolr
died and are contradictory in their do
scrlptlon of the rootnttsclf.
The memory of Proctor Is faint or

of a conversation for only a few sen
tenccs nt a time.
When Proctor wns asked wlyther he
remembered the death of Lincoln lit

agreed to protect his vote until hl3 successor was nppolnted.
Politically Harding nnd Underwood are as for apart as the poles on many
great questions. But Underwood always fights In the open nnd always fights
fair. Underwood, the Republican senators will tell you, 13 one of the ablest
men In public life, and generally the senator who Is talking to you about the
lender of the minority will odd that he Is the fairest fighter In congress, and
for thot reason the hardest to defeat.
Stillman Fight
The Stillman divorce case Is ngnln
to the front and the most Interesting
development seems to be that Miss
Anne Stillman, who espoused the cause
of her father, became reconciled to her
mother during the summer months.
Although Miss StUImnn never definite
ly broke with her mother, she sided
with her father, and It wns through
her that an effort was made to com
promise the case last spring. Miss
Stillman now occupies a unique posi
tion In the family, as she is on friend
ly terms botli with her mother nnd
father. II has been learned that Mrs.
Stillman, "Bud," Anne, Alexander, und
Guy took part in a so-called "family
reunion" In Cnnnda during the sum
mer. Another equally Interesting devel
opment Is tie report thnt Mr. Stlll
mnn hopes for a reconciliation with
Mrs. Stlllmnn. n this connection It
wns reported that Mrs. Stlllmnn would
entertain no overtures for reconciliation until her husband admitted the father
hood of Guy.
That Mr. Stillman seriously hopes, however, to adjust the "divorce mess"
was Indicated when he showed his daughter, Anne, through his new apartment
at Madison avenue and Forty-second street before she sailed for Europe. Ac
cording to a friend of Mrs. Stillman, her husband pointed to one room nftci'
another, snylng :
"This Is mother's room; thnt Is Bud's; that is Alexander's."

Wilson's Health Is Improved
Woodrow Wilson fell a sick man
two years ago. Since then ho has
passed under the shadow of death and
out of the White House. He will be
sixty-five years old next December and
has pussed through an ordeal which
few men survive. Ills normal weight
(n health while he was president wns
160 pounds. He shows little departure
from that figure. Uls eyesight Is as
good although ho has discarded his
favorite nose glasses for Bpestacles.
His hair has turned snow white.
The motor nerves nnd muscles of
his left side huvo given more response
to treatment than wus hoped for. He
still walks with a cune most of the
time, but frequently hangs tho crook
over hU arm and "goes It alone with
out my third leg,"
Mr. WlUon is far from a well man
But during tho last two years there
have been times when his voice was
Inaudible nnd when he could not sup
port himself nlone. His condition today ahowH more Improvement thnn his fam

Mr. WIIhou brought with him to the White House the iminll savings of i
