BUZZARD OR TURKEY, WHICH

That is the (Jue-tion to be Determined Before Thanksgiving Bay— The Whole Bunch Will Itoubtletts Prefer Turkey if the l»riee is Within Reach.

THE PRICES LESS THAN IN 1907

Have you thought about that turkey yet? The day of all days for the king of the barnyard is now only a few days off and according to the dealers the wise housewives are getting their orders in early in order to obtain a choice bird to grace the Thanksgiving day table. Failure to do so may result In dining on buzzard. Thanksgiving day and turkey have become so inseparately linked in tbe habits of the American people that “What is home without a mother” strikes a no more popular chord than “What is Thanksgiving without a turkey?” On I hi' whole the prospect of a banner crop of turkeys this year is reported to lie bright and there is little doubt lint that every resident of Greencastle, who is in the habit of eating this delicious fowl on the last Thursday of ea h November, will be able to appease his appetite as usual this year. The poultry dealers report that turkeys and other fowl for the Thanksgiving trade will be the same price as last year, or a little less.

FISH, GAME AND BIRDS

, Tic biennial report of the Commissioner of Fisheries and Game of Indiana has been received at the office of the Governor from Z. T. Sweeney, and is said to be the best report of the kind ever issued. The report will be printed and bound in a book containing about sOo pages ami will be distributed, as usual, through the membei of the Legislature. The department of li dieriea contains new pictures and descriptions of the principal li lie. of Indiana; description of Indiana waters; location of the different kinds of fish in the state and nio-t curything that would be of interest to angler: It also contain many interesting articles and pictures of birds and other game of tlie state. The commUtdaner lias in flic last two years reared and deposited in Indiana waters nearly 5,000,000 black bass, which if purchased by the fate from a Ush hatchery would represent a value of $500,000.

Adams ('entity and flood Roads, Until the enactment of the “threemile law” Adams County was practically devoid of good roads. Now the people of that county are solving the problem entirely satisfactory to themselves, and furnishing hints for some other counties. The county is without gravel beds and the supply of tone is liniited v All roads are made uniform in construction: a grade of twenty-six feet in width; on one : ide crushed stone ten feet wide and eight inches deep in the center, is placed. This spreads to twelve feet when rolled over. The remaining fourteen feet are left to form a clay or dirt roadway preferably for use In dry weather. This plan is being followed and found to cost about $3,000 per mile.

W. C. T. U. MEETING

The recent meeting of the W. C. T. U. was an expeciallj good one. Miss Elizabeth Ames who represented tlie Putnam County .Boards of Associated Charities and Children’s Guardians at the state convention of Associated Charities in South Bend, gave an excellent account of the new ideas plans and work for the decrease of crime and for consequent better living. She said in part: The old plan In dealing with criminals was to remove them from among other people. This was not successful. If imprisoned, they were soon released worse than ever. If executed, ilie notoriety attending the execution made more and worse criminals. The next plan was to reform the individual criminal. That has been partially successful but has the disadvantages nf the crime already committed and the hardened and degraded nature of the person who committed it. The new plan is to prevent crime by taking care of tbe children. Careful studies of peo- . and their liv. how that a bad disposition can lie . oii ected by good training, while the best disposition may be ruined by bad associated. Reports of tbe work of the various county boards of children’s guardians showed many adopted children doing well In the various homes that had taken them and very few doing badly. The great help of the juvenile courts which correct unruly children by the strong hand of the law and yet do not disgrace them or send them to live with criminals, merits high praise. Another good feature of modern work is the case exercised in looking after children when they are placed in homes. They are not abandoned to the mercy of those who take them. The Board of Children's Guardians is still responsible for them and must know exactly hbw they are faring. The new temperance law was spoken of as the greatest aid against crime and the greatest security for useful lives in the next generation. Nearly all the stories of crime and sorrow begin with intoxicating liquors. The Board of Associated Charities has for its duty tlie visiting of charitable and penal institutions and the making of recommendations for their better conduct. One recommendation that was strongly made was for district work houses for those who are able to labor yet do not support themselves and are a burden to the community. This would relieve both the poor farms and the jails and would not be oppressive when several counties Joined together in the work according to their population. Description of tlie most useful and economical public institutions were given and various suggestions as to improvements were made. The Board of Associated Charities and the Board of Children’s Guardians are appointed by the Judge of the Circuit Court and serve without remuneration. It is a high honor to be a member of one of these boards for It means that the state trusts much of Its future to the benevolence, good sen sip and fidelity of those chosen. At next Tuesday afternoon’s meeting in the court house assembly room. Prof. Woody will address the W. C. T. U. and friends on “Practicable Temperance Education.” AH are invited and parents will be especially interested.
