Cahoot

Turkey

Dinners

Adopted as Latest Fad

"Cahoot turkey dinners." Are you wise? If not get on, because the "cahoot turkey dinner" is as important a fad in Richmond today as the Grizzly Bear was on the dance floor a few years ago. The influence of the ''cahoot" part of the big Turkey day celebration this year in the eating line will be widespread and will descend into hut and ascend to manse. The number of Richmond residents who eat "cahoot" dinners will be large, from current reports. The plan is simple. It all hinges on the word "cahoot," which has found its way into the latest dictionaries as Blang for partnership. This explains the "cahoot turkey dinner" plan. In other words, families will "go in cahoots" (a dictionary phrase) in buying turkey dinners and in consuming

NEW TRIAL GRANTED HOMER HAMMOND

After Instructing attorneys for the defendant to present a motion for a new trial, Judge Fox In circuit court today, overruled a motion to dismiss the suit of the state against Homer Hammond, former president of the board of public works. Mr. Hammond was tried three weeks ago and the jury returned a verdict finding him guilty of failure to support his wife. Shortly before the case went to the Jury, attorney for Mr. Hammond presented a motion asking that the case be dismissed since Mr. Hammond had been a resident of Ripley county for a period of over a year previous to the time suit was brought against him. By granting a new trial, Judge Fox, will make it possible for the state to keep Mr. Hammond under the charge, while if the suit had been dismissed he would go free until suit were brought in the Ripley county circuit court. It will mean that the second trial will have to be tried in the court which jurisdiction over Ripley county, interested attorneys said today. POLICE HOLD LOST HORSE

The police are caring for a horse found straying in the north end of the city several days ago and they are anxious to locate the owner of the animal. Information concerning the horse can be obtained at police headquarters.

STRAYER GETS COMMISSION

Frank Strayer, prosecuting attorneyelect was sworn in by County Clerk Michael Kelly In circuit court today. Strayer received his commission from the governor, yesterday. He furnished $5,000 bond. The commission becomes effective, Jan. 1, 1917.. ,

them Thursday, Nov. 30. The plan works best with two families where the expenses can be met "fifty-fifty" "fifty-fifty" on the expense and "fiftyfifty" on the distribution of food calories to the respective members of the families. . It is another concerted combative effort to thwart the advancing tide of prices for food stuffs and particularly the little odds and ends which go for garnishes with the Thanksgiving dinners. . SEE SMALL RELIEF IN COAL SHORTAGE To secure first hand information relative to the coal situation and to ascertain whether there was prospect of relief from the present shortage in the near future Raymond Mather of the Mather Brothers Coal company went to the West Virginia fields a few day3 ago, returning today far from satisfled with the reports he received. "I found the mines operating only about two days a week because of the car shortage," Mather said. "Another trouble the operators are confronted with is the scarcity of labor. During the summer and fall a number of colored miners from the south were Imported, but many of these are returning to their homes in the south. I do not believe there is much prospect for relief from existing conditions in the near future. With labor as scarce as It is I do not believe the operators would benefit much if they received the normal supply of cars." Local coal dealers state that the coal shortage In Richmond still exists and that they are still experiencing great difficulty in replenishing their supplies. DIPLOMATS TO LEAVE ATHENS TOMORROW

POTATOES SELL S6 A BUSHEL;

ID YOU GET IN YOUR ORDER?

With potatoes quoted at $2.25 a bushel in the local market the word went around today that a man employed at the Richmond Municipal .plant was taking orders for Kentucky potatoes, grown on a farm owned by a member of his family, at a price ranging between 90 cent3 and $1 a bushel. It Is needless to say that this man had a busy time taking orders over the telephone today. The failure of housewives to do their usual amount of canning of early garden produce and fruits is assigned as one of the local wholesale grocery concerns. Explains Fruit Shortage. "In the spring the price of sugar was above normal and there had beeu quite a little Increase In the price of tin cans, consequently many women failed to can early garden - produce and fruits," this buyer stated. "The principal canned staples are corn and tomatoes. It will be remembered what the long period of hot and rainless weather did to the corn crop practically ruined it. There was an excellent prospect for a big tomatoe crop in the summer but along came the early September frost and cut this crop down to about 40 per cent of normal. Export Trade Heavy. In addition to crop failures there has been an unprecedented foreign demand for foodstuffs and the American supply is insufficient to meet domestic demands not to mention the unusual foreign demand. There is a corresponding shortage in practically every other line of canned foodstuffs and at the present time it is almost impossible for jobbers to increase their

stocks. There was a big Michigan crop of navy beans but the shortage In other lines of vegetables has made an exceedingly large demand for beans, pkts the foreign demand for this staple and as a result the consumer Is paying the highest price for beans since the Civil war."
