Coming Events Cast Their Shadows
 Before Them

Tampa, Fla, Nov. 4th. A reduction of 25 per cent in wages of employees of Georgia and Florida sawmill associations was announced today, thus reducing wages of laborers to $2.50 per day of ten hours
 How does this compare with wage. from $500 to 5000 day made by miners in the Alabama non-union coal fields?
 Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. Employes of manufacturing plants drawing large daily wages discharged all employees and some of them were re-employed at 30 cents per hour.
 Nov. 5th. Substantial decline announced in quotations for pig iron, cotton and wheat.
 Nine furnaces in Alabama and Tennessee out of blast
 How does this general reduction of wages and decline of prices compare with the as- surances which Alabama operators have given their employees that until April lst 1922, the rate of pay shall not be less than that fixed at recommendation of the Bituminous Coal Commission, which became effective on the first day of April, 1920?
 New York, Nov. 8. The stock market was the center of another drastic selling movement today, every branch of the list yielding to the increasing weight of lqui- datlon at extreme recessions of 2 to points,
 There were occasional halts and feeble ral- hes, but these were succeeded by fresh offer- ings in which new low levels were registered. The tone of the market at the close was weak on total sales of 100000 shares Among the stocks that suffered greatest impairment were those comprising the shipping, steel, equipment, oil and motor groups but even the gilt-edge railway issues did not escape the general reversal, all save few of the trans continentals, for 1 to 3 points
 Developments over the weekend played into the hands of the shorts, the operations of that faction falling substantially to the days settlement, especially in the industrial specialties, for which there was very light demand.
 Increased pessinism was engendered by another deficit in clearing house reserves, the lower ratio of reserves reported by the fed eral reserve bank and tightening of local funds, call loans again rising to 10 per cent after opening at per cent.
 These conditions were intensified by the further demoralization of foreign exchange and the statement of prominent fnancier that the country is lon the threshold of period of industrial depression which may justify corrective legislation"
 RaductiOH of wages elsewhere is causing a daily increase in the influx of laborers into the Alsbama feid. The coal output is all most normal The supply now equals the demand.
 In . few days the strilins miners will bs . labor surplus.
 In a short time the Supreme Court of Ala bamA will affirm the hundreds of judgments rendered by judges and juries giving the operators the possession of their houses un- lawfully withheld by the union.

TO DRY VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS FOR WINTER SEASON
Household Expert Gives
Tested Recipes f o r
Preserving Advan-
tages of the Drying
Processes.

Preserving fruits and vegetables by
drying them was formerly as common
a household practice as making jelly or
smoking meat Our grandparents took
good care that winter should not catch
them without a goodly stock of dried
apples peaches, cherries btackberries
and green corn. The new methods of
canning have superseded the old way to
great extent, but at time Ike the
present. when glass jars and tin cans
are expensive and it is difficult to get a
supply sufficient to hold all the foods
that must be preserved, drying comes
into its own again.
If housekeepers will dry such foo@
as can be dried successfully there will
be a larger supply of cans and jars
available for canning foods that cannot
be dried to advantage. Dried foods

young and tender. Remove the stem,
tip end and strings: cut the beans in
lengths OF one or two inches and dry
them in trays. Beets. carrots, turnips,
parsnips and onions should be
washed, peeled and sliced one-eighth
of an inch thick before they are dried.
Green's such as spinach, Swiss chard
or beet tops should be young and
tender, and if the leaves are very
large they should be cut into small
pieces. Remove the peel. seeds and
soft part from pumpkin and squash,
cut the flesh into strips about two
inches long and an eighth of an inch
thick and dry on trays or on strings
When storing dried fruits or vege-
tables the things to guard against
are moisture, insects rats and mice.
Tin cans, such as those in which
coffee or tea come. are excellent con-
tanners; pasteboard boxes with close
hitting covers and stout paper bags
tightly sealed with glue, paste or
paraffin are almost as good
