THIN TURKEYS.
Clearfield Township Man Prophesies Tough
Birds for Thanksgiving.
“Unless the weather changes con-
siderably we will have thin turkeys for
Thanksgiving,’’ said a Clearfield town-
ship farmer Thursday. ‘‘Ever stop to
think of the effect that weather has
upon turkeys? No! Well I’11 tell you
about it. In a fall like this, when the
country is free from frost, the ground
remains soft, the yegetation hangs oh
fall of bugs and worms and the tur-
keys on the farm run their legs off
chasing the worms and bugs aforesaid
and turning their soft flesh into tough,
stringy muscle. Now, if we had a cold
fall, with plenty of frost to harden the
ground, kill off vegetation, bugs and
worms, the turkey would have no in-
ducement to wander from his own
barnyard and would stay at home,
fattening up on grain. Yes, sir, unless
the weather changes we’re going to
have some of the toughest and thinnest
turkeys you ever saw for this Thanks-
giving. Mark my words!”
Could Load a Thousand als.
The soft coal mines having an outlet
over the Beech Creek district of the
New York Central and its branches
could load 1,000 daily, if the cars were
there to load. The demand for soft
coal is enormous and the markets de-
moralized because of a lack of cars
with which to transport the product.
Prices quoted one day are cancelled
and higher figures named the next day.
Operators are besieging transportation
offices begging for more cars. New
York Central operators are faring
much better than those who ship over
other roads, but they could use many
more cars.

UNDER HEAVY BAIL.
Italian Accused of Serious Crime WilljAn-
swer at Court,
Peter DeFazio, a well-known Barnes-
boro Italian, has been held in $1,000
bail for December court on a charge of
attempted assault upon Mrs. Joseph
Dumont. DeFazio owns three or four
properties, doesn’t do much of any-
thing for a living and went on his own
bond with Joseph Keneeley, also of
Barnesboro. The woman was unable
to appear at the hearing and was rep-
resented by her husband, who told his
wife’s version of the alleged episode.
Dumont lives in Susquehanna town-
ship and is employed at the Allport
mines, two miles from Barnesboro.
The story of the Dumontsis that the
Italian visited the Dumont place while
the woman was alone, offered her
money with an insulting proposal, and
when refused attacked her. De Fazio
is said to have kicked Mrs. Dumond
and to have abused her in other ways.
She is in a delicate condition fand as a

Public Approval
Is a great thing to have. When everyone in the com-
munity is unaminously of the opinion that your stock is the
very best, you've got a great force working for your interest.
This explains the popularity of Duqhesne and Piel beer—
everyone who tastes either ot these brands knows that they
are the best, and those who haven't tasted them know it from
hearsay.
A little drop of “the crayture” is what you ought to
