HOW THE SUGARY PLUM
f"EVOLUTES" INTO A PRUNE

Prunes are plums which may be
dried without the removed of the
stones in climates where they can
rlpeh fully on the trees. Practically
the only varieties in which fermenta-
ton around the stone does not occur
when the fruits are dried entire are
the Italian, the French or Petite, the
Imperial, the Golden Drop, and the
Silver. Some of these varieties may
be grown as a plum in Michigan, New
York and New England, but they can
not be cured into prunes, because they
do not develop sugar enough before
they rot heavily on the trees. The
method for drying prunes is applica-
BILE to only the above named varieties.
Other plums should be dried by The
method for drying plums.
Only fully ripe prunes, in which
the maximum sugar content has de-
vcloped, should be used for drying.
Gather the fruit carefully, placing 20
more than bushel in any one crate,
as ripe fruit brushes easily and fer
ments when allowed to stand in large
quantities. Prepare for drying with
in a few hours after the prunes are
picked from the tree.
In an enameled or galvanized YES
sci heat to boiling a solution of one
pound of concentrated I've in 10 gal
Ions of water. Place the fruit in a
colander, an old tin bucket punched
full of holes, or a wire basket, and
lower into the boiling lye. Move
from side to side to bring I've i'm
mediately into contact with all the
fruit. Remove and allow to drain
for minute, then plunge the basket
! into clean, cold water and wash the
fruit thoroughly.
Thirty to As seconds are required
for dipping. When the skin shows
very fine cracks or checks, the dip
ping in the I've is completed. Do not
continue dipping until thes kin begins
to peel, or the fruit will drip badly in
the drying.
After rinsing the fruit, spread in Y
single layer on drying trays. Start
the drier at 100 degrees until the
fruit has lost enough water to begin
wrinkling. Then increase to from
165 degrees to IT'S degrees. When
the fruit has an elastic rubbery-like
feeling but no longer yields moisture
wheh" turned and pressed between
the fingers, it, is sufficiently dry.
Pour the dried fruit into a large,
clean, wooden or pasteboard box and
cover with muslin to exclude insects
Thoroughly mix each lot as it comes
from the drier with that previously
dried. Allow the prunes to aftercure
for from 10 days to 2 weeks before
storing.-United States Department

Essay on Geese.

The following composition on geese
was written, according to Cappers
Weekly, by a schoolboy in st. Louis ::
"Gcese is a heavy-set bird with a head
Oh one side and tail on the other.
His feet is set so far back on his run
ming gear that they nearly miss his
body. Some geese is gandcrs and has
a curl in his tail. Gamblers don't lay
or set. They just eat, loaf and so
swimming. If l had to be a geese, 1
would rather be a gander. Geese do
not give milk, but give eggs, but for
me, give me liberty or give me death"

Reply To American Fedora ation Of Labor Is To The Point-Laws Of Nation Are All Powerful H e Tells Labor Leaders Awaits Union Action

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-Reiterat- ing that the strike of bituminous coal miners is in violation of the law Att torney General Palmer, in statement tonight, declared in emphatic terms that the law would be enforced.
 The attorney general declared that those who conceive that the resolu- tions of a convention or the orders to the officers of any organization in the country, whether labor organizations or any other, are superior in authority to the government of the land, will find themselves mistaken
 Is Reply To A. F. Of L.
 The statement of the attorney gen. eral, which was construed as a reply to the position of organized labor as set forth last night by the American Federation of Labor's executive coun- cil, follows:
 "The coal strike is plain violation of a federal statute. This has been the governments position from the start The president declared it to be unlaw- full and the court, after hearing has now declared 1t to be unlawful.
 "All I can say is that the law will be enforced. This same law has been en- forced many times and the department of justice has other cases now pending Continued on Page Seven)

PROPOSE ADJUSTMENT
 BONDS FUR All WHO SERVED DURING WiR

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 1o.- War service adjustment bonds amounting to $1 for each day in the federal service, were proposed tonight to an American legion committee by Henry D. Lindsey of Texas, chairman of the convention which opened here today, as the solution of the problem of compensating service men and wom- en for their physical and financial sac rifices. A favorable committee report on the report is expected.
 Minneapolis won over Washington b. C., by one vote on the sixth ballot for permanent national headquarters and will be recommended to the con vention tomorrow by the headquarters committee.
 The committee on next convention decided to recommend both Cleveland and San Francisco to the next conven- ton.
 Universal military training was en- dorsed by slight majority of the com mittee considering that subject, though strong opposition from the national guard representatives among the dele gates continued throughout a protract- ed night session.
 Chairman Lindsley's war service adjustment suggestions would involve long term bond issue of approximate ly s2,000,000,000 it was said, drawing high rate of interest and subject tc

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Mexico Will pay no ransom for foreigners kid naped by Mexican bandits. This posi- ton of the Carranza government was announced in note from Hilario Me dina, sub-secretary of state for for eign affairs, to the American charge at Mexico City, in reply to the recent demand of the state department that Mexico omit no effort to effect the release of William o. Jenkins, even though it be necessary for the Mexican government to pa ythe ransom to the bandits who captured the American consular agent.
 The text of Medina's note, as pub lished in Mexico City, was received to- day in Washington. It was under date of November 8.
 ''If it should be claimed in this, or any other case" the note saidi that the Mexican government should pay any sum by way of ransom, the gov ernment would be In the painful ne ceSsfty of not accepting such a de- mand, declaring categorically that il will not pay any ransom for MT.

COLO. ANTI-STRIKE.
 LAW DEFEATED IN
 FIRST TEST CASE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

COLORADO SPRINGS, Cole, Nov. 10-Charges of melting strike in violating of the state in dustrial law were dismissed against Luke Brennan and Thomas Howells in preliminary hearing. today which is the first test to be made of the Colorado anti strike statute. Brennan is national representative for District 15, composed of Colo rado, Wyoming and New Mexico, and Howells is secretary of the local union.
 Justice J. p. Barnes, before whom the hearing was held, took under advisement until Thursday morn ing the cases against F. M. Mc- AIister, president of the local union, Nicholas Fontencchio, na tional organizer, F. E. Campbell and Henry Jones.
 The basis of the prosecution is the utterances of the defendants at miners meeting held at Papeton, coal camp two miles north of Colorado Springs, on October 31. Brennan and HoweIls did not at tend. The defense strove to prove that the strike order emanated from national headquarters and that local men had nothing to do with it. The state contended that the employees of the klondike mine were undecided whether or not to obey the strike order until advised to do so by Fontencchio, McAIister and the other defendants.

Law Is All High Is Palmer ri" !"
 To Coal Miners
[RepublIean A. p. Leased wlrel


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Warning was given the United Af'ne Workers of America tonight by Attorney Cen eral Palmer that resolutions of con- Ventions and orders of officers or or ganiza tions are not above the law.
 Final declaration of the govern ments policy of dealing with the coal strike was announced by the attorney general while officers of the miners organization at Indianapolis were struggling with the question of how to answer the courts command to re- scind the strike order.
 Describing the strike as violation Of a federal statute. MT. Palmer, speaking with full authority of the government. announced that all the power of the United States would be exerted to enforce the mandate of the court.
 Although no reference was made in the attorney generals statement to the pronouncement of organized labor sup porting the miners and demanding withdrawal of injunction proceedings, 1t was evident that MT. Palmer had that document in mind, and official Washington accepted his declaration to mean that refusal of the miners to cancel their strike order would mean a fight to the end.
 There was no attempt in official or labor circles tonight to conceal the feeling that the situation was grave and getting beyond the question of a coal strike. This was due to the be- lief that the miners apparently were not of one mind on the question of making quick reply to the court.
 All day word from the Indianapolis meeting was awaited with anxiety. Some labor leaders had predicted that the mandatory order would not be complied with and that the strike order would stand until passed upon Continued on Page Seven)

.S0L0NS PROMISE
 ID OVERRIDE THE .ADM|N|STRAT AT|ON .0N ARTICLE TEN
Vote On Reservation, Said To Be Unacceptable To w 0nian Democrats, Expected Today
TRepubIic;N, A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. = The fight over article 10 of the league of nations neared a conclusion today in the senate, with developments prom ising adoption of a reservation wholly unacceptable to the administration.
 During the day the reservation drafted by the foreign relations com mittee almost identical with one which President Wilson has announced he would regard as rejection of the treaty, weathered all attempts to aI- ter it, and rallied a support which seemed to Assure its final acceptance. A vote is expected tomorrow.
 Congress to Have Say.
 The reservation provides that under the article, which pledges member states to preserve, as against external aggression, the territorial integrity and political independence of all other members, the United States shall as sume no obligation to use its naval or military force except on express authorization of congress in every specific case.
 The debate, which summed up six months of senate discussion of the subject, reached a high pitch of bit terness several times during the day. It developed another spirited clash on the question of Ireland's status under the article, Senator Williams, demo- crat of Mississippi, assailing Irish Americans who oppose the league, and Senator Walsh, democrat of Massa- chusetts. replying in a speech charg- ing that the administration had un- dertaken to deprive him of all federal patronage because he did not support the treaty without qualification.
 JuSt before adjournment the united republican forces backing the reserva- ton almost were split by a demo- cratic proposal to make the qualifi- cation even more sweeping in its terms But the republican leaders soon recovered their hold on the sit uation and declared that danger of amending the committee draft had passed.
 Walsh Change Causes Division.
 The amendment on which the re- publicans momentarily divided was in troduced by Senator Walsh of Mon tana, a staunch administration sup porter, and would have added to the revervation a proviso that the United States release all members of the league from any obligations to 1t under article 10 and declines to participate in any proceedings by the council authorized thereby"
 The vote on the mild reservationists substitute was AS to 36, the mild reser- vationists joining with the other re- publicans by agreement. In addition to the republicans, Senators Walsh of Massachusetts, Reed of Missouri Smith of Georgia and Gore of Okla homa voted for the Borah substitute 6S senators voting against it.
