The Frontier Woman —
‘A Devoted Reader’ Threshes White Beans
by Tromping and Flaying with Pitchforks
Bv BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi, there, all you nice pco
pie. Don't look now but it it
* going to be Thanksgiving next
week. Don’t be afraid to buy
a large turkey because we
will have a couple of good re
cipes for using le t-overs in
our next week’s column.
You know what I think
might be an idea for your
Thanksgiving dinner? Golden
yarn uraugc
baskels.
u Yams or
sweet pota
toes — it’s
all the same
to you. Any
way it will
take four
medium siz
ed boiled
yams o r
*> i sweet poia
Blanche toes, three
Spann Paas* large orang
es, 1/3 cup
top milk, teaspoon nutmeg,
two tablespoons grated orange
rind, and one teaspoon salt,
butter or margarine.
Cut the oranges in half
crosswise, carefully remove
pulp, saving peel for orange
cups. Chop orange pulp, flute
edges of. orange cups with a
scissors. Peel and mash yams,,
add grated rind, nutmeg, milk
and 1/3 cup orange pulp. Beat
fluffy. Pile lightly into or
ange cups. Dot with butter
and brown in broiler or hot
oven. Serves six.
You know there are a lot of
things you can do beforehand
to make the job of getting
Thanksgiving dinner easier on
that day. Do your baking a
head of time, whether it be
pie or cake. If you are going
to serve a gelatin salad it can
be made up the night before
and refrigerated.
The cranberry sauce — if
you plan lo serve it—can be
cooked and put where cool.
The fowl may be stuffed
and that big task, which
takes so much time Thanks
giving morning. will b a
done.
Celery can be washed and
wrapped in waxed paper and
put where cool. It will keep
very well and be crisp and
food.
If you’d like to serve some
thing just a little bit differ
•ent to your guests have you
lever tried coring the center of
a dill pickle? Stuff with pi
mento cheese and chill. Cut in
i slices.
Have you ever tried .filling
I two-inch celery pieces with
I cream cheese and drained,
I crushed pineapple? Or try
1 filling with pimento cheese
and chopped ripe olives.
Or maybe you’d like to
serve celery pinwheels to your
guests. Get a nice bunch of
celery and wash and separate
stalks from bunch. Fill each
stalk with nippy spreading
cheese. Put the stalks back
together, tie firmly and chill.
Slice crosswise one-fourth to
one-half inch thick.
When I roast chicken or
turkey I always dip a clean
cloth in melted lard until it is
thoroughly saturated. I put
this over the bird, covering it
well. You can use cheesecloth
for this if you wish. Keep this
cloth moistened as the bird
roasts. You will find the skin
of the fowl will have a lovely
golden brown finish that is
mouth watering to look at and
just as good to eat.

Prize-Winning Letter—

bird, is one of the winners of
a three - months’ subscription
this week and “An Emmet
Friend” is the other.
Dear Blanche:
I have finally decided that
now is the time to get that
letter to The Frontier Wom
an written. Perhaps I should
have written earlier, assuming
the competition would have
been less keen when canning
was in full swing. Now that
1948 canning is mosty ‘‘water
under the bridge," I expect the
Fall sewing will be getting the
attention it deserves about
now. I hope to get started
sewing soon. I want to get
an extra quilt or two made,
too, for we all know those
cold Winter nights in Nebras
ka are inevitable.
How I have enjoyed read
ing the letters about the dif
ferent vacation trips? I wish
more would write of their
travel experiences. But since
my vacation this year was
by way of the imagination

Funny thing about us peo
ple. The prices we kick about
are the buying prices; selling
prices, you understand, are an
entirely different matter.
Heard a man say the other
day that his wife laughed ai
his' jokes. You must have a
lot of. good jokes, his neighbor
said. 1 wondered if maybe he
j didn’t have a good wife! Grin.
There is absolutely no need
to worry about the world be
coming overpopulated. N o t
| with the automobiles people
1 are fighting for the privilege
of buying these days.
route, I will write of some
thing more matter of fact—
work.
This Summer’s work has
been very enjoyable—if work
can be socalled. What with
plenty of Vegetables and fruits
to can, and an unlimited sup
ply of sugar, the shelves are
loaded to capacity. And the
family anticipates a Winter’s
meals of the “yum yum vari
ety.”
We raised a nice patch of
white beans this year and got
them threshed recently. We
pulled them and hauled them
to the drive way (where the
cement floor had been swept
clean) and tromped them and
flayed them with pitchforks
to thresh them. Rather a
primitive way of doing it (so
it seemed to me) but we were
rewarded by two bushels of
lovely beans. There were no
rains this Fall to mould them
before they were pulled, as is
so often the case. I believe
that’s one job you haven't
written of doing, or did I miss
it?
We tried the combine once,
and because of lack of right
concaves, etc., had only flour
when threshed.
Corn picking is in full swing
and we are thankful for a
better crop than last year’s.
That job means working early
and late and being ever so
glad when it’s done, but hav
ing a mechanical picker makes
it a much shorter job than us
ed to be the case.
Now is the season when
those pesky colds start both
ering. Did you know that a
drop of camphor on each han
ky lesssens tne chance of one’s
having a severely sore nose?
I’ve tried it. It works!
Also, did you know that
a tablespoon of vinegar add
ed to the water one washes
windows and mirrors in
gives them that desireable
shine?
Have you tried using the
decorative type (narrow)
scotch tape for putting pic
tures in albums? I like to use
it better than the art corners.
I see my letter is getting too
long, so I will close. Keep up
your good work. The Frontier
Woman is tops! All The Fron
tier for that matter. I espe
cially like the Jack and Jill
corner, don’t you?

Emmet Reader Wins—
Hi there, Mrs. Pease:
It is nice to see your friend
ly face in the paper every
week. You want some letters,
so I thought I would write to
you again. I do enjoy the
other people’s letters that 1
read in The Frontier every
week.
My seven-year-old son, Bob
by, is out digging a vegetable
pit to put my carrots and tur
nips in. When the boss can
find time to get me some nice
dry straw or hay to put on
top of the vegetables when
we put them in the pit.
I dug up some small dill
plants and put them in a can
and brought it in so I will
have some green dill this Win
ter to use for seasoning, you
can do the same with parsley.
The other day when ii
rained and the wind blew so
chilly. I thought sure it was
going to snow but instead it
warmed up a little. I put
glass cloth on the screen
doors yesterday so let the
cold wind blow and the
snow come.
My hobbies are reading and
sewing, but I sure hate to
write letters. Here is a hint
that maybe some one can use.
I use empty bread wrappers
That way I can throw it away
to roll my pie dough out on.
aCter I use it once and don l
have a mess to clean up.
When the weather starts
getting cool everybody wants
soup Here is the way I make
my vegetable beef soup: One
cup beef cut in small pieces,
one cup shredded cabbage, one
cup diced carrots, one CUP
diced potatoes, three medium
onions, one cup tomatoes, salt
nnri runner to taste. Then add
write again. FR,END

Striving tor
Even Higher
Beer-Selling
Standards
The privilege of selling fyeer
carries the duty of conducting
the business within the law and
the rules of good conduct.
The state and not the brewing
industry selects the beer retail
ers. The industry is as keenly
interested as the state in having
good, competent beer retailers.
That is why the beer industry
in Nebraska cooperates with
the state to insure that beer re
tailers know the legal require
ments for clean lawful opera
tion.
During 10 years of this pro
gram of “Self-Regulation”
and cooperation by the industry
and the state, it has been prov
en that the Nebraska law is
adequate and sufficient for sat
isfactory beer retailing.
The brewing industry will
ever strive for high retailing
standards.
