Slice the nion and scald this and the celery with the milk. Take out the onion ml add the milk slowly to the pota- oeit. Melt two tablespoons butter, nto which mix the dry ingredients. lid stir into the boilitiK soup. Lioil tie minute; strain, add the reinaind- r or the butter, and sprinkle wit h he parsley when ready to serve. The parsley improves the looks and adds little to the flavor, but may be omit- ed if this is more convenient. 1 lolled Potatoes Select potatoes of uniform size. Wash, pare, and drop at once Into cold water to prevent them becoming discolored. Cook in boiling salted water until soft, but not until brok- n. For six medium-sized potatoes allow one tables poo u salt and boiling water enough to cover. When the potatoes are done, drain off the wa ter, place the uncovered kettle on the back of the stove, and let them steam until serving time. When potatoes are boiled with their Jackets on, they should be washed and a narrow band of skin cut from the center. This tends to let the steam escape more rapidly nd renders the potato more mealy nd palatable. It also makes it eas ier to remove the skin. Potatoes boiled In this way are palatable for several hours if kept hot on the back of the stove. linked Potatoes Select smooth, medium-sized pota toes. Wash, using a vegetable brush. Dake in a hot oven for about 4 5 min utes, or until soft. Remove from the oven, break the skin slightly to let he steam escape, and serve at once. When potatoes are baked properly hey are commonly said to be espec ially wholesome. However, they are better cooked in boiling water than baked in a slow oven. Stuffed Potatoes A nice way to vary baked potatoes is to cut a slice from the top of each and scrape out the inside. Mash season with salt, peper, chopped. par sley (if liked), and butter, an 1 heat in a little hot milk; add twu well beateu whites of eggs. Refill the skins, sprinkle with grated cheeBe, and bake in a hot oven about six minutes. Mushed Potato- Force five hot boiled potatoes through a potato rlcer or a collander (coarse strainer). Add two table spoons of butter, one teaspoon salt. little pepper and one-third cup of hot milk; beat with a fork until creamy. Ue-heat, ana serve in a hot vegetable dish. This quantity is suf ficient for a family of four. lMced PoiaUH'tt Force hot boiled potatoes through potato rlcer or a coarse strainer in to a hot dish in which they are to be served. Mashed and riced potatoes may be browned by placing the dish in the oven for a few minutes. Scalloped Potatoes Waosh and pare potatoes; let them soak for a half hour; and cut in one- fourth Jnch slices. Butter a baking dish, put in a layer of the sliced po tatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour, and dot over with one-half tablespoon of butter. (A little grated cheese may be sprlnklod over each layer If desired.) Repeat until the baking-dish Is nearly filled, then cover with hot milk. Bake 1U hours in a moderate oven, or place on the back of the stove and cook slowly. Saratoga Oil pa wash and pare the potatoes. Cut in thin slices (using vegetable slicer preferably) and drop at once Into cold water. Let soak two hours, changing water two or three times; drain, drop into boiling water, and boil one or two minutes. Dip out with skimmer and piunge into cold water again. Take from the water. dry between towels, and fry in deep fat until light brown. Drain on brown paper and sprinkle with salt Plunging the potatoes into hot water to swell and boiling them for a min ute or two causes the starch particles to swell and become set. They will therefore, absorb very little fat, and are more crisp and palatable than when dropped at once into deep fat l reumed Potatoes There are several different ways in which creamed potatoes may be pre pared, ti) Freshly boiled or cold boiled potatoes may be cut into small cubes and served heated In cream sauce. (2) Wash. pare, and cut no tatoes into small cubes. Put into frying pan with a few slices of onion cut up very fine, and parboil 10 min utes. Pour off water. Add one ta blespoon butter, seasoning of salt and pepper, and milk enough to cov er. Cook for 15 or 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are well done and the sauce thick and creaniv. It i necessary to stir the potatoes fre quently to prevent sticking. The starch in the potatoes thickens the sauce. French Fried Potatoes Wash, pare, and cut into eighths lengthwise. Soak in cold water one hour; drain, and dry between tow els. Fry in deep fat, which must uot be too hot. Drain on brown pa per and sprinkle with salt. MiocMriitg Potato Potatoes cut hi long, narrow strips and prepared by the above recipe are called Julienne or shoestring pota toes. Panned Potatoes Cut cold boiled potatoes Into quar ter-Inch slices; dredge lightly with flour and fry in pan with a little but ter. When light brown, heap on side of pan; let stand a few minutes, then loosen with a knife and turn out on a platter in much the same way that an oniel- t is taken out. Sprin kle with salt and serve at once. Hashed llrown Potatoes Cut col.l boiled potatoes Into small pieces (2 cupfuls), season with salt and pepper, cook 3 minutes in one- third cup bacon drippings, stirring constantly. Let stand a few seconds o brown underneath; fold like an omelet, and serve on a hot platter. Pail Fried or Nauteed Potatoes Slice cold boiled potatoes in quar ter-Inch pieces; season with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides in well-greased frying pan. Potato Salad Cut cold boiled potatoes into half luli cubes and season with salt and pepper, or a few drops of onion Juice f desired Heap in a mound in a salad dish, garnish around edge with circle of lettuce and hard-boiled eggs, and pour over all a French dressing made as follows: H teaspoon salt. Vs teaspoon cayenne. 2 tablespoons vinegar. 4 tablespoons olive oil. Little onion Juice. Mix the Ingredients in the order named, and stir until well mixed. For variety add to two cupfuls of potato one-half cupful of cold beet dice (cooked) and two tablespoons chop ped parsley or cheese; carrots and a little chopped celery leaf may be used If preferred. TELLS OF CALIFORNIA Judge 1 terry Observed Keenly While on Ills Visit to California and Other Western States County Judge L. A. Berry, who re turned recently from San Francisco where he had attended the Interna tional Irrigation Congress, observed conditions very keenly while in the West and tells many interesting stor ies of his observations. The Judge took the trip up from San Francisco to Portland in the boat, and Bays this was one of the most enjoyable exper iences of the entire trip. "There are thousands and thousands of bushels of fruit going to waste in Oregon," said Judge Berry in conversation with a Herald reporter. "There is absolutely no market for this prod uct," he continued, "and the small amount the fruit growers can get from their crop will not even pay the wages of the fruit pickers. On every I) ! there are signs of a general bi.-i.iess depression, and real estate deals are at a standstill, and will be until the market returns to its nor mal condition, as It must eventually do." "Have you ever seen a 7,000-acre patch of asparugus?" asked the Judge m OME MEN have their shoes made to order We can give you ' 'made-to-measure" fit better style and finish ready to wear right out of our store Just say that you want to be fitted and we'll put on a "Natural Shape" Florsheim that will give you com fort from first to last day's wear and satisfy you in every particular.

Another Interesting sight was a 50.000-arre potato farm, which was planted to capacity this year. This land is leasod Dy a Jap "financier", and be employs only Jap labor on the farm. As the cost of each laborer Is only about twenty cents a day there s plenty of room for profit.

Alliance, Nebraaka leaves them talking to space. Rath' er than lower his price he will let t spuds rot. The Judge says he can't und stand why Clalfornia land Is wort 975 an acre more than Box Butt county land. In other words, says he can't understand why Calif ornia land should sell at $1,000 an acre, and Box Butte county land at 125 and less. The toll is similar In formation and on level stretches fcotb appear to be about the same in top ography. This year the California, crops were not as good as this coun ty's. There Is of course a lot of difference In the climate, but, anya the Judge, It Isn't worth 1975 an aere more than Box Butte county's invig orating air. 1 1 .
