The Frontier Woman By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you nice people! Got the house cleaning all done? Do you have those Gladiolius planted yet? Oh! Oh! you haven’t. Lady bustle right out and get some of them plan ted, you can plant some each week until June 1 and you 11 have glads until late in the Fall that way. Are any of you lucky people having fried chicken on the menu as yet? A fitting ending for a menu of fried chicken, new creamed potatoes and green peas is strawberry short cake, now at the peak of its seasonial popularity. Give it a new twist by making an en riched flour scone batter and pouring into a greased 9-inch ring mold. When baked, un mold and fill the center with sugared crushed strawberries. Garnish the top and sides with whole be it i os for a May day feast. —tfw— In making yeast breads of all types, use a lightly floured board. All of the flour needed for making a batch of dough is added when the dough is made. Flour added after this stage, coming from excess e* a floured board, makes dark streaks in bread and pro duces a coarse texture. Kneading on a pastry cloth, canvas or coarse linen towel makes a moderately soft dough easy to handle. —tfw— Sweet topping for coffee cakes and rolls is provided by a confectioners sugar icing. Add enough top milk, cream or fruit juice to confectioners sugar to give it the thickness of whipping cream.

For heartier appetites, make double deckers, with vegetable filling in the other layer. —tfw— Mrs. Harold Milnar Wins Prize Subscription — Mrs. Harold Milnar, of At kinson, wins a 3 months’ sub scription to The Frontier with the following letter. Dear Mrs. Pease: Was surprised, but very pleased when we receive^ some late editions of The Fron tier and noticed your column. Have enjoyed your articles for many years in other papers and envy your talent at writing. Oh, it such a lovJly Spring day, makes one feel like mo ving out the heating stove and cleaning all those dusty corners. Why am I sitting writing then? Really I can accomplish more after a short rest after lunch and don’t you believe every mother and homemaker should take off her shoes and rest too while the baby rests. Never sleep myself but after reading a short story and writing a few lines to a friend, the rest of the household tasks seem much easier. New PROPANE TANKS 100-Gal. to 1,000-Gal. BOB TOMLINSON —Star— Phone: 48F02, Page Exch. f ♦., that YOU mac/e/wssi6/e/ 100 years of service! We of the Northwestern are proud of this record; pleased to point to our growth from a few miles of strap-rail line with a single locomotive, to a 9,600 mile rail network servirp' nine states. But we know well that the real credit for our progress must go to you, the traveler, the shipper, the farmer ... to the generations in your family and community who had faith in this railroad, who stood with us through hard times and good in the realization that community de velopment and good transportation go hand in hand. So in marking our 100th birthday, our thanks are to you— whose vision and assistance have made this event possible. R. L. Williams, president CHICAGO and NORTH WESTERN SYSTEM PIONEER RAILROAD OF CHICAGO AND THE WEST—SINCE 1848 __. FULL DRESS RECEPTION COMMITTEE . . . In just about every city whenever a visiting dignitary comes to town, the mayor and his distinguished civic cohorts feel it necessary to bedeck themselves in full dress and silk toppers to meet their guest. This quaint custom, generally involving many hot collars and perspiring foreheads, becomes much sim pler in the Antarctic where there are only penguins to do the receiving. Like this committee of well-dressed penguins which rushed out to greet a U.S. navy Sikorsky helicopter, part of Task Force 39, when it landed somewhere in the Antarctic. QUICK ONE EGG CAKE One and a half cups cake flour, Vi teaspoon salt, 2 tea spoons baking powder, two thirds cup sugar, 11 cup melted shortening or salad oil, 1 egg, cup milk, l - teaspoon van illa extract. Sift dry ingred ients, add cooled shortening. Add egg beaten with milk and vanilla, beat well by hand 1 minute. Bake in waxed paper lined 8 inch square pan in mod erate oven of 350 F. 25 to 30 minutes. It is good frosted or served with your favorite lem on filling or sauce. We like it for short cake, it is much richer. Here's a little houseclean ing hint, perhaps you've heard many times, but be lieve it's worth mentioning. When cleaning walls with a duster, use up motion, lift ing the dust off. rather than a down ward motion. The downward motion tends to settle the dust into the wall paper or painted walls. My rest period is over and my 22-months-old daughter is 1 thinking up something new tu | do so she can spend the re_ mainder of her afternoon “out side”. Yesterday when brought in for lunch she wanted to ! bring in her sand pail and shovel with "gravey” (gravel and sand) in the house. Keep up your swell column. A reader, MRS. HAROLD MILNAR, Box 21, Atkinson. —tfw— Mrs. Milnar. I'm just ever so glad you wrote a letter to The Frontier, and I know your letter has brought plea sure and help to the many others who read it in this issue. I do indeed think every mother should rest when she can. —tfw— Here’s a tip on glads. Dip all glads before planting. One well known Glad grower pre fers one ounce of New Impro ved Ceresan, three teaspoons of Dreft, three gallons of wa ter. Soak ten to fefteen min utes but no longer. Stir sev eral times. Soak bulblets thir ty minutes if in shell, if sprot ed or peeled, just ten to fifteen minutes. Drain and plant at I once. Lysol dip is also good ] but not as effective as New Improved Ceresan. Use I Vi tea spoon lysol per gallon of water. Soak for 3 hours. Drain and plant at once. Cultivate frequently enough to keep soil loose and free from weeds, 2 inches is deep enough and will not disturb j the roots. After the fourth or fifth leaf shows, it is necessary to keep the soil moist to de velop good blooms. A heavy watering every week or ten days is better than frequent light sprinklings. —tfw— Send Us a Letter For The Frontier Woman — Send us a letter for The Frontier Woman, won’t you?
