Tom Sharkey decided on a turkey
one day and figured he'd attend to
the purchase himself.
"What's that big bi-rr-ud worth up
there?" said Tom. pointing to tine,
large turkey.
The deal ended with Tom ordering
the bir sent to his place. He had
(.cen it weighed at IS pounds and got
a price of thirty cents a pound. To ill
received the turkey and a bill tor
I;3 Ttj.-be sure hi.-f turk weighed the
-0Btx 18 pounds, Tom took It out and
?ound. a pair oC scale?:. It only
xt e^hed 16 pounds.
: "AK20 cents the pound I'll never
pay $^40 for that turkey," said Tom.
- Sure, and this is thirty-three and a
third per cent worse than the Jarrieboys."
- Hte rang up O'Brien, who owned tie
njarket where he had purchased the
bird. O'Brien explained that clear.ir.'-'
the turkey and so on had caused the
two pounds to disappear.
s "Uhuh! Uhnh! I get ye." Tom
yelled at him. But let me tell you
this. Mr. O'Brien. You can't slip
any three o'clock in the afternoon
stuff over on me. Not bin' hut ringside

hardest basketball games on Friday
s*d ?>itorday of this week. On Friday
the local team will meet Huntington
at Huntington and on the following
day they will meet the Park-!
en>Larg five at Parkers burg. They {
will return home on Saturday and on
the following Tuesday will meet
Buckhannon high at Buckhannon.
The trip this week will be the only
trip that the team will take to the
southern part of the state this year.
The two teams that will be met oni
the southern trip are the hardest
games the team will have this year
with the exception of the games at
the annual tournament.
The Parkersburg team is not near
as strong this year as in the past.
Little is known concerning Huntington
as that city has not centered
much affort on basketball in past j
years. The game one week from to-[
day -with Suckhannon will be another j
hard game and will be a big factori
in 'gathering dope for the Buckhannon
tournament.
