During the two days' visit of i Mrs. Campbell last week we visited the women of the county doing the ! special canning this summer and j gathered samples of the preserves and jellies. These showed that the women of Sumter county can put up as good product as can be found anywhere. The fig pre serves, haw jelly and grape jelly will be sold through our state mar keting agent, Mrs. Frances Y. Kline. This opens up a new line of industry for the farm women of the state. We are planning to put on at the county fair an exhibit of the available canned goods in the county now with a hope of finding a profitable market for these things another year. Miss Christine South, State Home Dem onstration Agent, stated at the re cent district meeting held here j that the three-fold aim of home j demonstration work for 1922 ,' would be money making: first to J produce everything possible that is } used at home; second, to produce j some for tale to bring in money; third, to spend that money in the wisest way possible. Miss South stated that, as Dr. Knapp once said we follow this order in pro gress, profit comfort, culture, pow er and influence." at this critical j time financially we must direct our energies to the profit side. I hope that the women of the county will be thinking along .'ines of coopera tive undertakings und let's help each other. During fair week I hope that many of the country women will enter their babies in the contest being put on. This is a splendid opportunity to have the babies up to three years examined by spe cialists and suggestions made for remedying any defect that might be found.

DESSERTS FOR THE "IXBE TWEEX SEASOXV In the summer, we have the fresh fruits and frozen desserts which mean no worry about what we shall have sweet for dinner; in the winter, there are pies and bak ed and steamed pudding of variety: but in the fall or the "inbetween | season," comes the question of: what shall we have for dessert? Apple Pandoivdy Mold. s Pare, core and quarter sufficient ' apples to make two quarts. Place in a well greased pudding dish. Meanwhile sift together two and two-thirds cupf?ls of pastry flour, j one-half teaspoonful of salt, and j one and one-third teaspponfuls of i baking powder. Rub in thorough- ! ly one-half cupful of shortening to j make a dough just stiff enough to roil. Roll the dough out to fit the pudding dish and make several gashes in the center. Place the dough on top of the apples and i tuck in around the edges. Bake j in a moderate oven for 2 hours, or until the crust is well browned and ! the apples are soft. Then remove i J from the oven and allow to cool \ j slightly. Take off the crust and I cut it into thin pieces. Then add \ to the apples two-thirds cupful of I brown sugar, one tablespoonful of I butter and one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg. Arrange alternate lay ers of the apple and crust in a deep dish or mold, pressing the layers down carefully, cover, and let stand in a cool place overnight. Unmold, cut in slices, and serve with sweetened cream, plain or whipped. Banana Whip. Press six ripe bananas through the fine sieve of a potato-ricer. Add two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and ! one-half cupful of finely chopped j walnut meats. Chill thoroughly and I serve in sherbet cups, garnished j with whipped cream. To vary the [ flavor, add one teaspoonful of j finely chopped mint to the bananas before chilling them. Cocoa Marshmallow Pie.

I Place in the top of a double boiler ' and cook for thirty minutes. Then j add one teaspoonful of butter and ! one-eighth teaspoonful of salt and remove from the fire.

Drifting Toward Big Strike - Railroad Executives and La? tor Union Officials Far j From Agreement Chicago, Oct. 14. (By the Asso ciated Press).?Representatives of j the nation's railroads today, after j announcing that they can not re- ; duce freight rates at present with- j out going into bankruptcy, and that they would immediately seek a further reduction in the em- j ployee's wages from the railroad labor board, went into a futile con- j ference with union leaders in an \ effort to reach an amicable settle ment of wage differences which at j times have threatened to tie up i the transportation system of the j country. At the conference union lead- | ers asked reconsideration of their request of last July that a 12 1-2 per cent wage reduction granted by the labor board be not, put into j effect immediately, that no fur- i ther wage reductions be sought at present and that no change be J made in the overtime pay rates. This request was refused and the railroad heads presented their statements announcing the propos al to seek new reductions and not j to reduce rates until further re ductions were granted. The labor leaders left the con ference immediately and few of them, would discuss its proceed ings or predict the results. "I am no prophet," said War ren S. Stone, president of the' 'Brotherhood of Locomitve Engi neers. "What will happen is more j than I can say." J Sees Trouble Ahead. W. G. Lee, president of the Bro therhood Trainmen, refused to dis cuss the situation after the meet ing, but previous to it had said that "the roads must be crazy to seek a new reduction when the men have just authorized a strike over an old wage cut." Later tonight Mr. Lee said that the district chairmen of the unions would receive their final instructions tomorrow as to wheth er there would be a strike. Asked point blank if a strike would ? be ordered, lie said: "I will not say definitely, but were I a betting man I would place j my money that there will be a strike. "Regardless of what action is j taken, the final decision is only a matter of the rising and setting of I a few suns. The district chair- j men will receive their final orders i tomorrow and they will go home. Many chairmen already have peen I sent home and will receive their 'orders by mail." R. S. Binker of the Association ! of Railway Executives said that j the transportation system was fac- j ing one of its greatest crises, but also refused to make predictions. Union leaders freely admitted. | however, that there had been little j harmony between the committee I in the conference. The executives,' had previously announced that the ; proposals to pass further wage re- j ductions on to the public by ap- j plying to the interstate commerce j commission for a reduction in ] freight and passenger rates had. been accepted and that all future j wage reductions would be met by j corresponding rate reductions, j The conference was begun at j I the' suggestion of the union lead ers, their invitation for a meeting j j being accepted by . the railroad j I heads following the announcement ; ! concerning freight rates. As the j j meeting started, the committee ap- j { pointeo by the Association of j I Railway Executives declared they j believed it would settle most of the immediate differences between { the carriers and their employees, j 3Icmbcrs of Committee The labor committee was com- | j posed of Mr. Lee, Warren S. Stone, I president of the Brotherhood of j : Locomitve Engineers; L. E. Shep- j j pard, president of the Order of | j Railway Conductors; W. S. Carter. I ! president of the Brotherhood of 1 Locomotive Firemen and Engine- \ men. and P. C. Cashen. president } of the Switchmen's Union of North j America. The railroad executives' com- j j mittee was as follows: C. H. Mark ; ham, president of the Illinois 'Cen tral; W. W. Atterbury. vice pres- j j ident of the Pennsylvania; J. E. j j Gorman, president of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific; Carl R. j ! Gray president of the Union Pa- j j cific, and Ralph Budd, president of j the Great Northern. The executives, it was announc j ed wish the wages of train sex-vice I m<?n returned to the same basis as pre "ions tc the increase uraut^d I in the labor board decision of July | I 1920. This will necessitate a 10 j ' per cent, reduction, it was said. The decision of the executives, : reached in a meeting of the asso- ; I ciation of railway executives, fol- j [ lowed consideration of numerous I plans and proposals regarding wages and rates. One proposal j was for an immediate reduction ; in freight rates on agricultural : commodities, the reduction to be j j effective for SO or 90 days as a test. | I This plan met with opposition from j a majority of -the roads, most of them maintaining they could not I exist with lower rates. The announcement, which was embodied in a statement of some: I 1,500 words reviewing the tinan | cial conditions of the roads, made hthe transportation situation even! : more tense than it had been through a day in which one rumor I after another of strikes, wage and! ' rato cuts had been prevalent. An announcement from the la bor board that the piece rat*- sys tem of pay had been restored add \ ed to the excitement and brought reports of dissatisfa< tier, from the ' ; unions. Union chiefs were dubious I as to how their men. SO per cent. ! of whom have authorized a strike j rather than accept the recent 12 ; 1-2 per cent. wage reduction, j would take the various announce , merits of the day. The roads declared their rotion was being taken with the view! of lowering freight and passenger rates in the future. "It was determined by tho rail roads of the United States to seek to bring about a reduction in rates," the statement said, "and as a means to that end to seek a reduction in present railway wages which compel maintenance of present rates. "An application will be made immediately to the United States railroad labor board for a reduc tion in wages of train employees sufficient to remove the remainder of the increase made by the la bor board decision of July 20. 1020 (which would involve a fur ther reduction of approximately 10 per cent) and for a reduction in the wages of all other classes of railroad labor to the going rate for such labor in the several ter ritories where the carriers oper ate. "The foregoing action is upon the understanding, that concurrent ly with such reduction in wages, the benefit of the reduction thus obtained shall, with the concur rence of the interstate commerce commission, be passed on to the public in the reduction of existing rail rates except insofar as such reduction shall have been made in the meantime. "The roads have decided upon this course in view of their real ization of the fact that the wheels of industrial activity have been slowed down to point which brings depression and distress to the en tire public and that something must be done to start them again in operation." The statement then gave a lengthy review of railroad finances and declares that "it is manifest that the recent reduction of wages authorized by the labor board in no sense meets or solves the prob lem of labor costs and in no way makes it possible for the railroads to afford a reduction in thei:- reve nues." The statement points out that many roads voluntarily have made freight rate reductions and adds that the rate of return earned by the roads in 1920 on the basis of investmentw as only .32 per cent. ? , ? ? ? Olanta Bank Cashier Arrested Another Chapter in the Big Robbrey of Sam Young's House Near Olanta Florence, Oct. 14.?With the ar rest of J. Hugh Truluck, assistant cashier of the First National bank of Olanta, this afternoon, and his signed confession to the part he playeu in the robbery of the home of Sam W. Young, Florence coun ty farmer, of an iron safe contain ing Liberty bonds, war saving stamps and mortgages and other securities amounting to between $80,000 and $90,000, events today followed thick and fast in a rob bery that has created no little in terest in this section of the state. In the absence of Mr. Young, the safe was removed, from the house and was found later in Lynches river rifled of its rich contents. Arrest was made in Sumter yes terday of two brothers, M. A. Tru luck and A. H. Truluck and they were brought here today and ques tioned closely by Mr. Whitfield, a representative of the Burns' De tective agency, who has worked up the case and caused the arrest of the two men in Sumter. One Gets Release. When the third Truluck boy, a cousin of the two men arrested in Sumter. was arrested while in the Bank a* Olanta this morning, a sensation was created. It was found later that M. A. -Truluck had noth ing to do with the actual theft of the safe and he was released. It was established that the other Tru luck, however, had made a confi dante of him, and he knew all about the business from beginning to end. As a result of the work of the detectives. S2G.O0O worth of bonds, war savings stamps and securities have been recovered so far and the officers believe they will get the rest of the stolen loot. When they walked into the sheriff's office here they entered at once into con tinuation of their confession to Mr. Whitfield, a Burns agency de tective who pKt the clichers on the information he had previously re ceived by having one of the Tru luck boys sign the same name to a check he had signed on a check drawn on tho First National bank of Florence for $10,000. This check bore the signature of Fred A. Joner. which the boy confessed was the assumed name he had adopted to carry out in Florence the disposal of the stolen Liberty bonds. Followed Clues Far. With the confession from Hugh Truluck the master mind who engi neered the sale of the stolen secur ities, and a confession from the two Truluck cousins, who com mitted the actual theft, Mr. Whit field believes that he has closed a case upon which he has been working for several months and one that has led him from Florida to .Maryland and on to New York, for it was in a Xew York bank that he found the first trace of one of the stolen bonds, through a check signed for its purchase. It was stated in the confession of M. A. Truluck, that the only registered bond in the list had been burned. It was a bond for $1.000. It was slated today by Mr. Whit field that following the confession of the Truluck boys, he visited the Presbyterian church tit Olanta, and found stored under the steps the war saving certificates which they declared had been hidden there. It was stated today that Mr. Young some time ago withdrew his funds ami securities from the Firs* National bank of Olanta. be cause of some disagreement. This facl is believed to strengthen the evidence against the assistant j cashier, who officers believe eon- j c?eted the plot io take possession! of '.he bonds.
