No Fear of Trouble.

BISBEE, Ariz., July l6.-While
armed civilian guards stood watch over
the roads approaching this copper min
ing district to prevent any more OF the
LOO men exilcd from here last Thurs
day, from returning, the mine operators
today prepared for operating their
properties on larger scale than any
time since the strike call issued by
the Industrial Workers Of the World
went into effect nearly three weeks
ago.
Peace officers and leaders of the citi-
zens' association which conducted the
deportation last week reported that they
had no fear OF further trouble as men
who wished to work would be well
coined in Bisbec but that they would
not tolerate the return OF those they
termed "agitators" unless they were
compelled to admit them by the federal
government.

Directions Given.

Fruit for use in pie or salads or
as stcwcd fruit can be put up or
canned without the use Of any sugar
at all, according to the canning Spe-
cialiStS or the experts OF the Depart
mcnt of Agriculture. They. therefore.
advise those who. because OF the high
price OF sugar. have been thinking Of
reducing the amount of fruit they put
up, TO can as much Of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar strip is beyond their
means, Any fruit. they say, may be
successfully stcrilizcd and retained in

fruits when canned in water alone do
not retain their natural flavor. tex.

The experts give some Interesting
directions for canning fruits without

the fruit by placing it in a Strainer
and pouring water over il until il is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
in glass jars or tin cans until they
are full; use the handle OF tablespoon.

ing purposes. Pour over the fruit

plctely If using tin cans. Place the
containers In sterlizng vat. such as
wash boiler with false bottom, or
other receptacle improvised for tho
purpose. If using a hot water bath
outht process for thirty minutes;
count time after the water has reached
the boiling point; the water must
cover the highest Jar in container.
After stcrilzinG. remove packs, seal
glass Jars. wrap in paper to prevent
bleaching and store in a dry, cool
place.
lf you arc canning in tin cans. IL
VIII improve the product to plunge
the cans quickly into cold water inn

using steam-pressurc Gamer instead
OF the hot water bath. stcrilize for
ten minutes with five pounds OF steam
pressure. Never allow the pressure to
go over ten pounds.

Using the figures from the internal

shown that the growth In the produc-
ton and consumption OF cigarettes is
something. wonderful. and this is Of
Importance to the tobacco growers of
Virginia and the Carolinas for In these
States the bulk OF the leaf tobacco that
goes into the making OF cigarettes Is
srown. The sales OF the little smokers
In this country alone during the month
OF May show an increase OF about so
per cent over the same month OF last
year. About 2.ooo.oo0.0o0 more cigar
cites were sold during the first quar-
ter OF this year than for the same
period OF last year. maihta aiming OF
this rate OF gain through the whole
year would bring the total American
production and sale to more than
$500 o.o0o.o00. In the fiscal year end
Ing June 30, 1915. a little less than
$4,000. 100000 cigarettes were made and
sold The next fiscal year they jumped
to over 2l.000,oo0,00o. and the produc-
ton Is stu increasing at "A rapid rate.
inc manufacturers and dealers do not
believe the doubling OF the tax which
Is proposed by the government will
decrease the consumption in the least.
On the contrary. they look for increased
consumption in these war times. And
all OF this makes things look well for
the growers of the Virginia and Caro-
lima bright leaf. from which the cigar
cite Is made.
