(County Court Seal) 33-6 Across The Kitchen Table with Blanche Pease Howdy folks! Accarding to the associated press New York’s farm ers have found a way to eliminate the elbow grease required for the old hand churn, and at the same time get double duty from the washing machine, it is disclosed. A dairy farmer’s union repre sentative says lots of farmers are using their washing machines for churns. The representative adds that it works swell. Well, it’s an idea anyway, tho I don’t know as I’d care t „ry it. Do you have one of those cook book leafers ? This species thumbs thru the cook books, reads aloud all sorts of enticing recipes and makes remarks which smell of broad hints. A cook book leafer of the male type is apt to look at magazines and most especially at food adver tisements, and they are known to groan as if in the last stages of hunger, and to rub their stomachs, meanwhile looking into space. These sufferers do this only two or three hours after they have eaten a meal which would choke a cow. There is also a type known as the pantry pirate. This species looks in pantries, eats the half a pie you have saved for lunch, samples a couple of pieces of cake and does away with half a cold chicken. There are cures and cures. You can give the cook book leafer a dose of his own medicine, lead him to the kitchen and tie an apron around his bay window. The trouble is that this medicine may be just his dish. He may just love twiddl ing over an egg beater, stirring up this and that and popping it into oven and kettle. He might even be a success which is something you hadn’t counted on. So think, before you lead him out of the parlor and into the realm of the frying pan. Take into considera tion, also, the little matter of ac cumulated dishes, dish towels and the kitchen floor. It is a good plan to have a signed agreement as to the washing up afterwards. Pantry pirates are sometimes curbed, but never cured, if atten tion is called to their waistline when some old flame is around and about. But such remarks are worth while only for the moment and their effects vanish into thin air, when you bring on the pumpkin pie and whipped cream. Do those dainty little pink ears of yours burn with embarrassment when the man of the house tugs at a dresser drawer and finding it balky makes some highly colored remarks ? Weep no more my lady, for ’tis opportunity knocking at your door. It is your chance to show what a real home maker you are. There are several treatments which may be given drawers which sulk, stick and wron’t slide. If you have some floor wax in the house, rub some along the bottom sliding parts of the drawer, and upon the props into which the drawer slides. Paraffin may also be used to aid the situa tion. If you have neither paraffin or floor wax in the house, you can fall back on the remedy w’hich grandmother used, and that is plain old fashioned laundry soap. It really works. If your bedroom suite is done in pastel enamel, as many smart bed rooms are, why not enamel the in terior of the drawers to harmonize with the bedroom color scheme? If the room is newly papered, you might like to line the bottom of the bureau drawers with left over wall paper. There is also a pastel paper on the market for that very purpose. Many women like to keep sachet bags in the drawers with their lingerie. It’s a dainty idea. If you’d like to give your nice things the scent of your favorite perfume, drop a little of the perfume on a blotter and put the blotter among your silk undies. I have a friend who keeps her lavendar scented soap among her sheets, thus im parting a delici&te fragrance to the linens. Line your much used kitchen drawers with oilcloth to match your kitchen color scheme. You’ll find it looks so cheery, is easily kept clean, and it sets off the color scheme very nicely.

Public School Notes During the Christmas vacation the members of the faculty of the high shcool spent their vacations in various parts of the country and in various ways. Mr. Carroll, the superintendent, spent Christmas and New Years days with Mrs. Carrol’s parents at Spencer, Nebr. During the week he took a short business trip to Lincoln, visiting at the University Teachers’ college while there. Mr. and Mrs. Grill, spent several days in Herndon, Kansas, which is Mr. Grill’s former home. The bal ance of their vacation was spent with Mr. Grill’s parents at Grain ton, Nebr. Mr. Thompson spent his vacation at his home in Dorchester, Nebr., commuting between there and Lin coln where he attended several of the social events of the winter season. Miss Ruth Kraemer spent her entire holiday season at the home of her parents at Newcastle, Nebr. Miss Wind spent her vacation at Aurora, Nebr., with her people. Miss Eileen Duffy likewise visit ed during vacation at her home in Petersburg, and Miss Collins vacationed with her parents at Wayne. Lyle Durham, the band leader, visited at his home in Elgin, Nebr., for a while. During the remainder of his vacation he enjoyed driving his new car to various parts of the state and to Sioux City, Iowa, where he attended several out standing attractions of the stage and screen, and purchaed materials for his shop and music classes. Elmer Stolte spent his vacation in Dallas, San Antonio and Galves ton, Texas, with friends, stopping on the way to visit friends at Dur ant Okla. He reports a swim in the Gulf of Mexico, a visit to the historic Alamo in San Antonio, and a visit to the famous Cotton Bowl in Dallas, where he met Byron “Whizzer'’ White, all-American halfback from Colorado university who recently was elected to a Rhodes scholarship. Mr. Morton rode with Mr. Stolte as far as Kingfisher, Okla., where he attended the funeral of a sister, and spent the remainder of his vacation there visiting with rela tives whom he had not seen for many years. The student body all reported back with very good percentage of attendance Monday morning. The entire group seems to have utilized the vacation to relax from their school duties and have begun the last half of the year with great zest. Mr. Grill reports that the first semester will end Jan. 14. Se mester examinations will be given Jan. 17 and 18. * * Over the Back Yard Fence Theme songs of the week: Mybelle Osenbaugh, “I’ve Got My Heart Set On You."

CONGRESS r* ai aid by KARL STEFAN Leviathan Junked for Metal The government confiscated the German ocean liner, since known as the “Leviathan” when our country entered the World War. It did not pay Germany anything for it, but it did spend a few millions taking out its elaborate furniture and fixtures that the vessel might be used as a troop ship to carry our armies over seas. When the war ended, it spent another ten million to put back the fancy interior which had been re moved, and put the vessel in opera tion across the Atlantic. More millions were thrown away in an endeavor to make it profitable and without effect. Last week, the Le viathan was sold to England, to be broken up for its metal. The price received was less than would have been the cost of shipping an equal weight of new metal across the ocean. England will thus gain thousands of tons of metal for its new war program at a very nom inal cost. Government Employees Study Night Clubs Thousands of government em ployees here have never seen Con gress in session. Probably not five per cent of them have ever seen the President except perhaps on Inaugral Day. Thousands of them have never been to the top of the Washington monument to get a real view of this beautiful city. In fact thousands of these employees when questioned, admit they know very little about the real historic places around Washington. Many are quick to give information about the location of the town’s liveliest night clubs. Pessimism The other day at the Press Club here, a group of newspaper men were discussing the present “busi ness recession,” to give it the polite name one is supposed to use in Washington. One of the newspaper men took from his pocket a list of quotations, which follow, and asked us to guess who said them, and when. There they are: 1. There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and despair. 2. I dare not marry, the future is so dark and unsettled. 3. Everything is tending toward a convulsion. 4. Thank God. I shall be spared from seeing the consummation of ruin that is gathering about us. 5. In industry, commerce and agriculture, there is no hope. 6. Nothing can save the British empire from shipwreck. The above were said by the fol lowing on these dates: (1) Wil liam Pitt, at the end of the 18th century, (2) Wilberforce, in the early 1800’s; (3) Lord Gray, 1819; (4) Duke of W'ellington, on his deathbed, in 1851; (5) Disraeli, 1849; (6) Lord Shaftesburgy, 1868. There is seemingly nothing new under the sun. Try To Raise Refinance Bill The Frazier-Lemke farm mora toium expires March 2, 1938. Last year the Senate passed a bill mak ing the moratorium permanent. The Housl did not complete the action then. A sub-committee of the House Judiciary committee, while not acting during the appcial session, has agreed to a hearing in January. A glance at the petition on the clerk's desk shows there are only 138 names on the Lemke re finance petition. A determined effort will be made early in the | regular session to complete the signing of this petition and get the legislation before the membership at an early date. Government Agents Push Down And Pull Up On Same Farmer There is much inconsistency be tween two government farm ag encies. On one hand a branch of j the Farm Credit administration is ! forcing collections of feed and seed I loans from farmers who have not raised a crop while on the other hand the Farm Security adminis tration is endeavoring to aid these same farmers with rehabilitation loans and other work. Governor Meyers of the FCA is going to be asked to get together with the FSA in order that the farmer who is told by one agency that he will be helped and by another agency to “pay up or get out,” can know just what it is all about. East Still Thinks Farmer In Clover The Prairie States group com mittee which is endeavoring to secure admission from the powers that be, that in Nebraska and some other drouth states a real emer gency exists and special attention should be given to these drouth sections, already has a resolution to that effect ready to be introduced as soon as the regular session of congress opens on Jan. .3. Because of the so-called “recession” in busi ness a lot of the relief money which is needed so badly in the drouth areas is starting to go into the big industrial cities. As a result the drouth areas are being forgotten. Members still tell farm members from these drouth areas that the “farmer is better off than ever be fore.” They can’t realize that while good crops have been raised in Illi nois, Iowa and some other states, there are many counties in Nebras ka where farmers have again suf fered a complete crop failure. BRIEFLY STATED Walter Warner was up from Ansley for the holidays, spending the holiday season with his family here. There will be Lutheran services at the Episcopal church in this city at 7:30 p. m., Wednesday, Jan. 12, conducted by Rev. Wm. G. Vahle of Atkinson. A1 Pearson of Neligh drove to this city last Sunday morning and took Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Harnish to Neligh where they spent the day visiting at the Pearson home. Mr. Pearson is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Harnish. They returned to O’Neill Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Morris of Benkleman, Nebr., were in the city last Sunday visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Moore. Mr. Morris is superintendent of the public schools of Bcnkleman, a position he has filled for many years and which he held when Mr. and Mrs. Moore were residents of that city. Californians have had nothing on Nebraska residents the past ten days. The weather has been balmy, real Indian summer, although our almanac tells us it should be winter. It clouded up last night and is spitting a little snow this morning, but it is not cold and ac cording to the weather bureau we are not due for a real snow storm. The various county officials are busy these days trying to compile their budget needs for the year, according to the budget law passed by the last session of the legisla ture. There seems to be some question in the minds of some of the officials as to the meaning of portions of the law and some of the officials have spent many hours in intent study of the law trying to get impressed in their minds the exact meaning of it. A party of friends treated Mr. and Mrs. Vic Halva to a surprise pa,rty on New Years night. Not withstanding it was a real sur prise the guests were welcomed and made to feel right at home. Cards were enjoyed all evening and shortly after midnight Mrs. Halva served a delicious lunch. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Dave Loy. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Daily, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jensen, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cook and Mr. and Mrs. James Oppen. It is very dry in the southeast corner of the state, in the counties of Cass, Otoe and Johnson. These counties raised an immense wheat crop last year but the prospects for a winter wheat crop the coming summer are not very bright. While in these counties last week we noticed thousands of acres of win ter wheat, with only one green field among the hundreds seen. Lack of moisture in the fall is given as the reason for the poor appear ance of the crop and farmers are of the opinion that most of the winter wheat will have to be plowed under and the ground planted to corn if they are to get a crop from the land this year.
