hearty dish to serve and you

loped potatoes and bake it at
the same time, so it’s an oven
dinner.

V\ cups sugar, one teaspoon

In a greased baking dish pl
ace alternate layers of crumbs

FOODEAS — (
Have you ever tried adding *
some cinnamon red hots to the 1
centers of apples before baking ^
them or try a stick of pepper
mint candy placed inside the \
| apple before baking? It gives ,
j it a delicious flavor.
Next time you make a cho- ■
colate pie, try substituting left 5
over coffee for half the milk i
and get a new, rich flavor. And ■
try using coffee for part of
milk in butterscotch pudding.
Add a small quanity of or
ange juice to cream cheese for
aa delicious topping for ginger
bread.

Dear Mrs. Pease:
We were driving home from
town last evening and it star
ted to snow and the wind
raised. We turned on the radio
and someone was singing, “Let
It Snow, Let It Snow. My hus
band turned it off in a hurry;
with a disgusted attitude.
We were nervous anyway a
bout getting home through
these roads with so much snow
piled up on each side. So we
didn’t appreciate the song too
much at that particular time.
We will all be so glad to

Hitting it off. I wanted to

ieen home.
The folks found out they
had pretty peppy grandsons.
On our way out they were
all eyes. We had taken them
to see Western picture shows
here several times and they
would ask if they had cow
boys at grand dad's. Of course,
trains and stage coaches
were held up by the bandits

NEBRASKA
CELEBRATES
ARBOR DAY
THIS MONTH
54 years ago this month
Nebraska was proclaimed
the Tree Planter state. This
resulted from the state’s
unusual interest in tree

our famed April 22d Arbor

Another thing for which
Nebraska is noted is the
unusually high percentage
of tavern license renewals
—about 99% last year.

If wishes were fishes, we’d
have a house full of frying
pans.
If you itch for things awful
ly hard, the best way to get
out and get things you itch for
is to get out and scratch for
them. Everything may come to
he who w'aits, but they usual
ly come to those who get out
and work for them.
The guy who said everything
would come out in the wash
never had a four-year-old boy
who greased his fathers wagon
wheels with axle grease!
The guy who watches the
clock for quitting time is us
ually the one who doesn’t wat
ch it in the morning to see
that he gets to work on time.
pictures would bounce back
at me.
But when we were leaving
Omaha for Atkinson, I told my
oldest son we were in Nebr
aska and the train was packed
Lo and behold, he shoqts, "I
wonder when they will hold
up the train”? And I guess he
was disappointed.
Since I returned home, wu
moved to a larger house hav
ing an extra room. We decided
to use it for a recreation room.
After trying to fix up some old
curtains I came to a conclusion
which is odd. I took mending
tape cut in different sizes and
I shapes of leaves and pressed
them on here and there on the
holes' and snags in the curtains.
Of course, I used different col
ors of tape and the curtain does
look attractive. Of course one
could use other patterns than
leaves for patches.
Also, I had some trouble
with my windows getting fros
ted over. Then of course, when
it melted, the water ran down
on the window sill. Rubbing
! alcohol rubbed over the win
dow prevents this.
My boys love pictures, as all
1 children do, so I let them cut
out pictures and put them on
the walls in their bedroom. A
little bit of tape on each cor
ner holds them up and they
are easily taken off without
marks on the painted walls.
Well, Mrs. Pease, I will close
by saying I certainly enjoy
