NEW DESIGNS FOR YOUR COOKIE JAR
(See Recipes Below.)
COOKIE SURPRISES
All crisp, crunchy, and some
slightly nutty, all of today's recipes
are so iasmonea
as to send you on
a real cookie-bak
ing spree. Fill
that lovely cookie
Jar of yours until
the sides are fair
k ly bulging with
goodies so you
can have cookies a-plenty to put in
the children's lunch boxes, to serve
as afternoon snacks, and as a pick
up for mealtime.
If you’re doing some baking for a
bazaar, there’s nothing quite like
plates of yummy cookies to put over
the sales. Remember, you can sell
a lot more, if you give out some
samples. These can be set on plates
with white paper doilies, for sam
pling, and those to be sold put in
boxes already fixed. Cookies can
be sold by the dozen if they’re fancy
and somewhat elaborate, by the
pound if they’re small drop cookies
or squares.
Here's an interesting variation of
the filled cookie, both dainty and de
lectable:

LYNN SAYS:
An assortment of cookies,
freshly baked and packed in tins
with waxed paper between layers
makes a delightful present for
•r* youngsters away at school and
for friends you seldom see. When
your own cookie jar has been
filled to bulging, pack a few boxes
from what you have and spread
cheer to others, too.
Careful packing in tins with
waxed paper will keep even small
dainty cookies fresh for a long
time. Some flavors like choco
late improve after they stand for
some time. Chewy, nutty cookies
are the more chewy and deli
cious after several days. Spicy
cookies become moist and well
flavored after standing.

THIS
WEEK
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
NEW YORK.—It has been only in
the last year or two that this
country began to realize that the
Germans had done a vast amount
. . «s/ ot research
Blueprinting Wayt and organi.
And Meant of the zationwork,
u • it over many
Dictatort Hit Job yearii ln
preparing for their world aggres
sion. Devising ways and means to
meet it on many fronts, military and
political, our government belatedly
discovers Dr. Calvin Bryce Hoover,
dean of Duke university, who was
away out in front in studying dicta
torships, trying to understand them
and find out what to do about them.
Dr. Hoover is an important mem
ber of Col. William J. ("Wild BUI”)
Donovan’s new diplomatic brain
trust, which recruits men of spe
cialized knowledge who have dis
closed a timely awareness of the
more or less declared war against
civilization.
Colonel Donovan’s title of co
ordinator of Information does
not reveal the exciting charac
ter of his bureau which is In
reality a somewhat mysterious
Ideological and political Scot
land Yard, studying the origins
and techniques of Nasi power,
evolving plans to meet It in Its
under-surface penetration every
where In the world, recruiting
against the dictators some of the
same psychological forces which
they employed.
So far as the public record shows.
Dr. Hoover scored a clean beat on
our lavishly staffed state depart
ment in trying to understand dicta
torships and to make an accurate
appraisal of their intentions and pos
sible outreach. It was in 1931 that
he wrote “The Economic Life of
Soviet Russia”; in 1933, “Germany
Enters the Third Reich”; and in
1937, “Dictators and Democracies.”
Through the pre-war years of plan
etary complacency, he was writing,
In his books and articles, an out
line of Adolf Hitler as “genius and
fanatic.”
These studies were not phillipics
against Naziism. They were search
ing and studious inquiries into the
origins and inducements of dictator
ships. They now provide invaluable
analyses of the Nazi cultural, eco
nomic, military formula for world
conquest.
Dr. Hoover, born in Berwick,
111., in 1897, was conditioned to
patient, methodical work by
working on farms and railroads
in his youth. He attended Mon
mouth college and received his
Ph.D. degree at Wisconsin uni
versity in 1925. When he was an
undergraduate at the former
school, he Joined the National
Guard and served two years
in France in the World war, tak
ing part In two battles. He
joined the Duke university facul
ty in 1925, becoming a full pro
fessor of economics in 1930.
In the above clinical studies, Dr.
Hoover does not find dictatorships
blue-printed in any patterns of so
cietal evolution. They can be fended
off if we're “up and at ’em” without
losing too much time—but, above
all, they must first be understood.

SWEET POTATO
HARVEST TIME
Growers Cheat ‘Jack Frost’
By Digging Quickly.
« ~
By LEWIS F. WATSON
(Extension Horticulturist.
N. C. State College.)
Shortening days and cooler nights
herald the arrival of fall and har
vest time for sweet potatoes, one
staple in the diet of many farm
people.
Potatoes keep best when they are
allowed to mature before harvesting
and before frost kills the vines. If
the vines are killed by frost, they
should be removed immediately
and the potatoes dug soon.
Use a vine cutter, attached to the
beam of the plow, when vines are
not removed before harvest. This
attachment should be constructed so
as to prevent the blade which cuts
the vine from going deep enough to
injure the potato.
One of the most important rules
at harvest time is not to bruise the
potatoes. They should not be
thrown from one row to another.
Three rows can easily be placed
together without throwing the pota
toes. Bruised yams rot easily
in storage, and dark spots caused
by rough handling lower the market
value of the crop.
As the potatoes are removed from
the soil and piled in the heap row,
they should be graded carefully. All
cut or broken yams should be piled
separately from the No. Is and fed
to stock as soon as possible.
For curing and storing, a regular
storage crate has many advantages
over the bushel tub. Besides con
serving room, the crate allows a bet
ter circulation of air.
Potatoes should be stored and
cured in a thoroughly cleaned and
dry house immediately after har
vesting. Proper temperature and
moisture conditions are essential
factors in keeping the crop.

IN INDUSTRY |
By Florence C. Weed
(This is one of a series of articles show
fng how farm products are Boding an im
portant market in industry.)
CASTOR BEANS
To make American industry less
dependent upon foreign products,
castor bean growing is being revived
to supply a fast-drying oil for paints
and enamels. It is found to be
a good substitute for tung oil, a
product of China which has been
extensively used in the paint indus
try. Since the Japanese invasion,
this foreign oil is both costly and
difficult to get and the domestic sup
ply is not being produced in large
quantities.
Castor bean growing is not new
to this country for it thrived in a
half dozen states around 1850 when
23 oil mills were operating, most of
them located around St. Louis.
After the Civil war, production in
creased until Kansas glutted the
market with a boom crop of 766,113
bushels in 1879. Prices fell and in
terest in the castor bean declined.
Last year test plots were grown
in 33 states from coast to coast, in
the South and as far north as New
York. New seed was imported from
Java, Brazil and India by the Na
tional Farm Chemurgic council in
an efTort to find a new market for
the farmer. It included shatter
resistant varieties which do not re
quire a prohibitive amount of hand
labor, since they are less likely to
eject their seeds as they start to
ripen, and can be harvested in two
or three operations.
One of the first commercial uses
of castor oil is in lacquer for lining
cans in which food is preserved.
By treating it with sulphuric acid,
an oil is obtained which is used for
softening textiles. It is also used
In the manufacture of soap, aniline
inks, and non-brittle tire cement.

“You say, madam,” said the
barrister to the woman in the wit
ness box, “that the defendant is a
sort of relation of yours. Will you
explain what you mean by that—
just how you are related to the
defendant?”
“Well, it’s like this. His first
wife’s cousin and my second hus
band’s first wife’s aunt married
brothers named Jones, and they
were own cousins to my mother’s
own aunt. Then, again, his grand
father’s on my mother’s side, were
second cousins, and his step
mother married my husband’s

and my husband’s brother, Henry,
married twin sisters. I’ve al
