The price of turkeys for .

There are; always a few homegrown turkeys on the market, but this year there will not be as many as usual dealers report. Chickens will be plentiful and if present prices which are under 40 cents a pound for dressed sprping birds prevail chicken will. take the place of turkey on many Thanksgiving menus. ; o " Fresh home-butchered meats especially pork considered by many people as. a more economical purchase wiu he plentiful. : T by BTRAELN 1 AW DT 2 : Capture Rac¢coon Leo Schlotterback and Frank Grahn after quite a struggle early Sunday morning captured a raccoon alive.
