The Frontier Woman j By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE ■* Hi there, all you nice peo ple! What’s new at your house this week? New baby? Virus X influ enza? New racipa? Maybe a brand new bouse or a new address? Things happen uml we'd like to hear about what is happening at yours. Tell us bout it, won't you? .... in a letter. —tfw— Here is a recipe for a dish that tastes pretty good this time of year, and combines potatoes, meat and a vegeta ble: BAKED POTATOES WITH SAUCE OF PEAS & DRIED BEEF Three tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons flour, 2-3 cup li quid drained from canned peas, % cup rich milk or thin cream, 1 cup shredded dried beef, cups peas, drained, 6 baked potatoes. Melt butter, add flour and blend. Add pea liquid and milk, cook until thick, stirring constantly. Add dried beef and peas. Insert tines of fork to form a deep cross in hot baked potatoes, press firmly at end. Pour beef and potatoes. Serves 6. SAVORY BEAN STEW Thig is a low-cosi dish j ■which is full of flavor. If you're watching the budget this i« * good dish to serve to save the pennies. Select beans of almost any kind, or if you like, dry peas. Soak and cook 1 Vz cups of the dry beans or peas in water in the usual way. In another pan fry Vz cup of diced salt pork until crisp. Then brown % cup chopped onion in the salt pork fat, add Vz lb. lean meat, stir and cook slowly for 5 minutes. Combine meat, on ion, salt pork and 3 cups of canned tomatoes with the cooked beans. Add salt and pepper to taste, and simmer until the meat is tender and the flavor is well blended. Serve a once. • BEAN CHOWDER Bean chowder is a different sort of dish, which we rather think you’ll like. With a des sert and salad, it’s a complete meal. I cup dry beans, 1% quarts cold water, 1 cup diced carrots, 1 cup tomatoes, Vz cup shredded green pepper. 1 on ion, chopped fine, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons uncooked cracked wheat or 1 tablespoon flour, 2 cups milk, few grains pepper. Wash the beans, add the cold water and soak over ROYAL THEATER O'NEILL FRIDAY - SATURDAY MARCH 5-6 Big Double Bill For the Love of Rusty with Ted Donaldson, Tom Powers, Ann Dor an, Aubrey Mather, Sid Tomack. —also— Tim Holt in Avenging Rider Adm. 42c. plus tax 8c, to tal 50c — Children 10c, plus lax 2c, total 12c.

When the beans start to simmer, add a few bacon rinds. At the end of 2 hours, add a minced clove of garlic,' 1 large dried red chili pepper or chili powder and salt to taste. The cooked juice should be thick. If desired, mash the beans and add grated cheese. —tfw— Prize-Winning Letter— “Busy Mother,” Inman, wins today’s three-months’ subscrip tion to The Frontier. Dear Blanche: I’ve followed your column for so long in the Sunday pa per that I almost feel you’re an old friend of mine and needless to say I was delight ed when you started a column in The Frontier. What with holding down a job and keeping house for a husband and two small sons, it's very little time I have for reading, but I do always manage to get the daily paper and The Fron tier read. I’d like to pass along an idea that we have used for several years, and it never fails. lit seems most oppor tune at this time of year, too. Did you know that if you go over the windshield and windows of your car inside and out with a cloth dipped in stovefuel or kerosene that frost won’t accumulate on them and even when you’re driving in snow, the snow doesn’t stick to the wind shield? This does’nt have to be done very often during the winter, either. It’s surprising how long one application will last and just think how many winter accidents are <due to poor vision. I only hope this will prevent a few accidents. BUSY MOTHER —tfw— I hope it will prevent an accident, too, “Busy Mother,” and I was glad to have your letter. Maybe some of the rest of our readers have ideas to offer particularly to make the home and family more safe. It won’t be long until greens will be available, asparagus will be on the markets and in the fields. Eggs are plentiful now, why not have some good reader recipes for serving these things? Do you have a good cake recipe, a good cas serole or oven baked dish you’d share with us? Do you have good luck sewing? Oi housecleaning.? Then shart your recipes and ideas with us. We need letters and for those we can use, we will give a three-months’ subscription to The Frontier. Why not send us one? Just write it right now ar^l send it to Mrs. Blanche Pease, The Frontier Woman, Atkinson, Nebraska. —tfw— Slick Tricks— Next time you bake apples, add a few raisins to the cen ters of the baked apples. Don’t throw away that left over cooked cereal. Mold it in a small bowl, chill it and slice and fry it in hot grease for a luncheon dish. Some folks like it served with hon ey or syrup. I’m fond of it just salted. It’s filling and economical. Uncooked breakfast food in ready-to-eat style, such as corn or wheat flakes, can be crushed and used instead of bread crumbs to lop cas serole dishes or to roll meats in as a coaling. Flakes may also be used instead of oat meal in cookie recipes. Baking sugar cookies for the children’s school lunch? Use two raisins for eyes, turn a candy kernel of corn point side down for a nose and put raisins on to form a mouth. They’ll taste twice as good to the small fry, and probably Pop will like them, too. That’s all for this week. See you next week.

The new assessment date is March 10th. The assessment date closes April 20th. Assistant County Assessors will per form the duties of the former Precinct As sessors and they will aid the taxpayers in correctly listing his property on the tax schedule. An Assistant Assessor will be assigned to your precinct for the purpose of making your assessment. Beginning March 10th he will start calling on the taxpayers of his precincts and make their assessment when he calls if it is at all possible. Should you not make your return then, he will leave a schedule for you, and you will be required to appear before him or the County Assess or and make your assessment on or before April 20th. Failure on your part to either make the assessment when he calls, or on or before April 20th, will necessitate the County As sessor making the assessment and a penalty of 50 percent of the assessed value may be applied, as a penalty for not having made it prior to April 20th. Many items on the individual schedule used in the rural section of the County, as well as in the city, town or village do not take a specific value, and they should be valued at a fair and reasonable value for es sessment purposes; specific values applica ble to certain items will be applied by the Assistant or County Assessor when you make your assessment. A return for any property in your pos session or under your control, belonging to others must be made in their name, by you; this includes intangible “A” held for invest ment and intangible “B” (securities belong ing to them.) An intangible return must be made by every one, though they do not possess any tangible property, therefore a return must be made showing whether or not you pos sess any intangible “A” or “B”; if the re turns shows no intangible “A” or “B” and it later develops there should have been some listed, it will be listed and taxed as tangible property and not as intangible property. After making your assessment, it de velops that property has been omitted or undervalued it can-be added to the assess ment any time up to the close of the assess ment without penalty; subsequent to that date a penalty may be applied. Any taxpayer is at liberty to come to the County Assessor’s office and make his return, and if you pursue this course do it as soon as possible. If you do not contact the County Assessor, contact your Assistant Assessor as soon as possible. Property brought into the county after March 10th to July 1st is assessable to the owner unless it is shown that it has been listed elsewhere or that property or money given in exchange has been listed for assess ment.
