Since that time the station has been completely rebuilt and its tone quality which is measured on a wave quality meter shows a reception of 94 per cent which is equal to most of the large stations of the country and much more superior to the average station of 200 to 500 even though WLBV is but a 50 watt station. In the beginning when Mansfield and the sur anding community listened in, the quality meter showed a reception of less 16 per cent and was not heralded a station of quality. Compliments Received are daily sending compliments People in -11 parts, of the country on quality and programs now.

Turkeys Scarce This Year But Price of Thanksgiving Bird Is No Higher Than it Was in 1926 Although turkeys are scarce thise year, there will be no material in-, crease in the price of the birds Thanksgiving it is claimed by dealers, who are booking orders delivery early this Week. One of the peculiar features of the scarcity is the fact that male birds are not as plentiful as the hens, and consequently it will be necessary in some instances where large parties are to be entertained Thanksgiving dinner, to procure pair of the birds to supply the table with sufficient white meat. It is claimed throughout Richland and Ashland counties that the crop of turkeys this vear will be five per cent shorter than in 1926. and all states east of the Rockies show a smaller production than last year for Thanksgiving trade, with largest decrease in states east of the Mississippi river. The production of turkeys throughout the county has gradually decreased, it is stated by dealers, because they are an unprofitable investment, and become more difficult to raise.

Late springs during which much cold, wet weather predominates has made it impossible to raise the young birds, producers say. Turkeys, in late years have been placed in the luxury class by the American people because of high prices demanded. This season. similar to the past several seasons will see prices ranging from 60 to 65 cents being demanded for first class dressed birds. Last spring was unusually bad for the young birds, and as a consequence the flocks of the farmers who still make an effort to produce them is limited.

Prices for other articles going to make up the Thanksgiving dinner this year will not show any increase, and the annual festival will be observed at about the same cost as last year.
