GENERAL DAWES LETS
CAT OUT OF BAG.
(Washington Special.)
In a recent speech, Chas. Q.
Dawos, the running mate with
Coolidge, denounced those men in
Congress who claim th? farmer
ought to get better prices for cat
tle on the hoof, and that the con
sumer ought to got it for less on
nis table. Cattle on the hoof
were selling then from five to
seven cents a pound, and the con
jumer was paying 45 to C 5 cents a
pound for his beef on the table.
This shows how plainly the public
and cattle raiser are both being
gouged by tha Beef Trust; yet
General Dawes says a man is a
hyiy>crit who says that the farmer
should get a better price for the
cattle on the hoof, and at the.-
same time allow the consumer to
get it for less price on the table..
Last year when wheat was sell
iug at such a distressingly low
price a committee of wheat grow
ers called on President Coolidge
and set forth their grievances.
•The election being a long way off,
more than a year at that time, he
forgot the political game tem
porarily, and said, "You should
raiße something else." How can
a farmer who has been in the
wheat raising business all his life,
■with farming equipment for rais
ing the same, drop it instantly
and go into some other business ?
This shows how mnch President
Coolidge really cared for the
farmer, and like all good Repub
licans, his first and foremost duty
is to render obedient services to
the magnates of Wall Street, who
buy the elections for the Republi
cans who then permit Wall Street
to get it back 10 times over out of
the public.
Under Woodrow Wilson, the
farmers of this country enjoyed
the greatest prosperity they have 
ever enjoyed in our history.' „ Not
only was it true during the war j
bat before the war broke out in
Europe, farmer) were getting 
$1.33 per bushel for wheat. The «
Democratic party waß the first to
extend a helping hand to the
farmers, and under President
Wilson, -the credit act went into
effect, whereby the farmers bor
rowed money at a low rate of in
terest aud thus prevented the
forced sale of their crops at a low
, rate.
John W. Davis, who framed the
~ farmers' credit bill, has promised,
if elected, he will give the farm
ers help from the national guvurn
' went whenever it.

GENERAL DEPRESSION;
INCREASING UNEMPLOYMENT.
Higher Living Costs Answer Cool
idge Boast of Prosperity.
Special Correspondence.
■ Washington, Sept. 1G. —In his
speech of acceptance, delivered
August 14, President Coolidge
said:
"A great revival of industry
[daring the Republican adminis
tration] took place, which is now
spreading to agriculture. Com
plaint of unemployment has
ceased, wages have increased.''
Subsequently, Chairman W. M.
Butler of the Republican National
Committee, uttered a boast that
the Republican administration
had put an army of more than four
million unemployed to work.
What is t ie real situation?
At the time these boasts were
made, the tonnage orders on the
books of the United States Sjeel
Corporation had decreased 50 per
cent since January 1. The Bethle
hem Steel Corporation, one of the
largest of the independents, had
passed the dividend on its com
mon stock and was running at
only 30 pr cent capacity, the
lowest figure in more than ten
years. Railroad earnings were
showing a heavy decline every
month. The American Woolen
Company passed its commou divi
dend and reported it was operat
ing only at 40 per cent capacity.
The Illiuois Department of La
bor, in its July statement of the
industrial situation in that State, i
showed that in three months, Illi
nois factories had laid off more
than 7 per cent of their employees,
and these declines, combined with ]
earlier cuts, had reduced employ- i
ment to a point 11.5 per cent be- i
low the level of June, 1024. The 1
statement said: J
"The number of unemployed 1
people in this State at this time
is large. Other factors raise the
number out of work far beyond
the 80,000 who have been laid off j
1 by the factories. Closing mines *
have released large numbers, f
• * * * The drop in' June which \
, amounted to 3.4 per cent, brought i
unemployment to a new peaic. 
♦ * * Free employment service 
reports were the most un favor- 
able of auy time siuce 1Q22." (
The report ot the U. 8. Depart
ment of Labor, covering a survey .
of 8,627 industrial plants, issued
about the same time, showed that ,
they employed fewer wqrker in (
Junethaa iu May by more than
100,000, and that the June pay
rolls of these plants fell nearly
♦5,000,000 uuder those of May.
During ttfe month, for the entire
employment decreased
3.8 per cent, payrolls 6.7 per cent
aud per capita earnings of work
ers 3 per cent.
The Comtne -eial and Financial
Chronicle, New York, an authority
on industrial, commercial and
financial matters, in its issue of
August 23, had almost an entire
page devoted to brief notices of
plant shut-downs, due to indus
trial depression aud wage cuia.
They included:
Ton per cent wage cut by Globe
Cotton Mil's, in Rhode Island. *

Closing down of mines of

anthracite miners laid off because
of "slack demand."
Several Jotton mills in South
Carolina resumed operation* on

Teiror More Warehouses to Open In
Central Carolina Tuesday, Sept.
23.
The sum of was "dis
tributed by the Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association td its
members of the Old Belt of Vir
ginia and North Carolina Monday,
September 15. Every member of
the association who delivered
bright tobacco of the IMS crop
has now received 75 per . cent of
the bankers' valuation on his last
season's offerings, those in South
Carolina having received 87| per
cent.
The association will open ten
more warehouses in Central North
Carolina on Tuesday, September
.23, at Bnrlington, Mebane, Dur
ham, Creedmoor, Oxford, Hender
son, Norlina, Townsville, Louis
burg and Roxboro.
A flood of deliveries is reach
ing the cooperative warehouses
in Eastern North Carolina pud
members of the association there
have already delivered over a
million and a half pounds of this
year's crop since the season open
ed on September 2nd.
Satisfaction is reported as very
general among the associated far
mers of Eastern Carolina, owing
to the fact that the association is
paying the highest cash advances
iu its history. These have in
creased the value of a large ma
jority of the grades and apply
particularly to cutters, lugs and
primings and most of the leaf
grades. The association's first
payments, together with the loiin
value of every load which brings
the receipts of members up to
three-fourths of the estimated
value of their deliveries compares
most favorably with the present
prices throughout Eastern North
Carolina and receipts by the as
sociation warehouses are increas
ing.

Commercial Journal Declares
Tariff is Menacing Prosperity.
Attacks on the Republican
tariff are to be found with in
creasing frequency in the edi
torial columns of the New York
Journal of Commerce, a news
paper which concerns itself pri
marily and almost wholly with
finance and business. This paper
declares that the Republican tarffi
is menacing . commercial and
industrial prosperity.
"It takes only moderate inquiry
among wholesalers and manu
factures to discover at the present
moment that there is a strong
movement in favor of early revi
sion of the tariff." says the
Journal of Commerce. "It does
not require very much more ex
tended investigation to reach the
conclusion that such a revision is
expected. Action does not
depend upon the outcome of the
Presidential election. Whether
the Coolidge managers have pri
vately promised ( moderate tariff
revision or not, as some think
they have, conditions are such as
to make it imperative and this
fact the business coinmuunity
recognizes.
"It can be stated with au
thority and with confidence on
the basis of first-hand informa
tion thkt influential enterprises in
a large way of business are already
making preparations with a view
to such a development. This
state of things has been recog
nized for some time, but undoubt
edly there has been a hope that
it would not become known until
after the elections."
This statement of the Journal
of Commerce, based, as the paper
claims it is, on first-hand infor
mation, would indicate that the
Republican managers are public
ly promising a continuance of the
present high protection while
they privately pledge themselves
to a downward revision. This
has provoked the comment that
the leaders are trying to get fi
nancial and direct political sup
port from both the advocates and
the opponents of a lower tariff.
"And the consumer knows per
fectly well that the present tariff
law has enormously advanced his
actual living cost," continues this
editorial.
"The law in question hurt the
farmer, damaged the manufact
urer, and was like a knife in the
vitals of the cousumer."
The writer of the editorial con
cludes with the statement that "it
is plain enough to every eye that
some kind of relief from the pres
ent evils is absolutely indispen
sable if our business prosperity
is to be recovered."

Hew to Make Tasty Grape Dishes
Raleigh, N. C. Sept. 15—Home
demonstration workers Tf the
State College Extension Division
rtte receiving many inquiries at
this time of the year as to how 10
use grapes to the best advantage.
Since wine is uot allowed to be
manufactured according to a ml
ing of the people backed by the
supreme law of the land, graoe
juice has become a very popular
drink. Many home demonstration
club women make grape juice that
is sold with success to drug stores
and grocery stores for fancy trade.
recipe followed by these
growers is one prepared and re
commended by Mrs. Cornelia C.
Morris, district home demonstra
tion agent. Mrs Morris has also
prepared £wo other recipes for
grape products that may be used
to advautage by the housekeeper
having a good vineyard.
The recipes used by Mrs. Mor
ris are as follows:
Cold Pressed Grape Juice.
Crush grapes (do not cook)
strain through cheese cloth and,
let stand ono hour. Strain or
filter through a flannel bag, being
■ careful to keep back the sedi
ment. Pour juice into quart
jars that have been sterilized,
adjnst new rubbers that
have been washed in hot soda
water (1 teaspoonfnl soda to
1 quart, water) place tops on jars
and adjust clamp, but do not
seal tight. Place jars in ster
ilizer (a tin wash-boiler with
wooden rack in bottom may be
nsed) and surround with col«-
water, allowing the water to
come to the shoulder of the jar.
When ihe water reaches the
boiling point, 212 degrees F. (a
hard, jumping boil) keep that
temperature for 2 minutes, re
move jaid and KI»HI immediately.
The juice tubide the jars x will
be only about 185 edgrees F. A
higher temperature or longer
cooking impairs the flavor. No
sugar will be required as the cold
pressed juice contains a high
percentage of fruit sugar.
The following well-known va
rieties ot muscadines are especi
ally good for this cold-pressed
juice: Hcuppernong, Thomas,
Mish, Eden, Memory, Smith,
Flowers, James, and Luola. The
Thomas is peihaps the best..
Grape Paste.
After grapes have been crusheil
for cold pressed grape juice the
remaining pulp can be made into
a delicious confection. Pick out
the hulls and cook the pulp until
the seeds separate. Press
through a licer er colander to
remove seed. Measure pulp and
for every cupful, use one-half
cupful sugar. Use a large flat
pan and wooden spoon or paddle.
Cook carefully,stirring constantly
until mass will hold its shape.
When finished the paste should
be of the consistency of fudge.
Pour out on a large platter pr on
a marble slab to dry. When cold
cut in small squares and roll in
granulated sugar.
Grape Jelly.
Efght pounds grapes (one-half
undet ripe). Two [pounds water
(one quart).
Crash grapes and boil with the
water twenty minutes. Strain
through cheese-cloth and pour
juice through a flannel jelly bag.
Measure and add from one-half to
three-fourths as much sugar as
juice. Cook to 223 degrees F.
Grapes require less sugar than
apples as they oontain less pectin
which is the jelly-making sub
stanoe.
