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

the cold water and soak over

hours. When the beans start

add a minced clove of garlic,'

or chili powder and salt to
taste. The cooked juice should

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.
Sincerely yours, __

Information
Concerning the 1948
Assessment . . .
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.
