Die Frontier Woman — Potted Plant Makes Ideal Smallfry Gift for Their Mother on Her Day By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you nice people! What goes on at your house this week? Here’s April practi cally gone down the rain spout and May breathing down the Blanch* Spann P*as« back of our necks. Where does the time go? Is it be cause we’re getting o 1 d so fast, or what, As the saying goes “W h a Hop pen?" S o o n be Mother’s day. A nice idea for the small fry gift to mother is a potted plant. A pansy makes a nice goft. Then mom can either set it out, or if she has no yard, as is often the case, she can keep it in the house as a potted plant. The florists have ruffled pe iunias. They are very beautiful *nd make nice mother’s day gifts, too, not to mention geran iums and more expensive pot ted plants that the smallfry may not be able to afford. —tfw— Lynch, Watertown Readers Win— Mrs. L. H. Hoy, of Lynch wins a 3-months’ subscription, and the other goes to Mrs. J. T. Thompson, 1213 Second ave., SE, Watertown, S. D. Dear Blanche: This isn’t getting my ironing done, but, like most women, I enjoy a friendly chat so will silently do so with you and other Frontier readers. Yesterday was such a beauti ful day that I took time out to roll snow men, a mama and a daddy, for my 4 - year - old One might have accomplished greater tasks but too many youngsters have never enjoyed frolics with mom. My house is- j n’t filthy but probably not as elick as Mrs. Too Busy’s. After all, the precious memories of that little child, will live while done or undone work will be forgotten. I’m quite a hand to bake so will pass a good refrigerator roll recipe on to you. Usually I double when I want a couple large pans full. REFRIGERATOR ROLLS Combine 1 cup milk, Ms cup butter (I use lard, tiny bit less than butter measurement), Ms cup sugar, Mt teaspoon salt. Cool to lukewarm and add I cake yeast and 2 beaten eggs, add two cups flour and beat well. Blend in 2 more cups sifted flour. Cover and chill. Several hours or overnight. Roll out on floured board to 1-3 inch thick ness. Brush with melted butter, fold in half for park house style or leave plain circle for ham burger buns. Let rise till doubl ed in bulk. Bake 15 to 20 min utes in a 425 F. oven. (This dough will keep severftl days and may be used for coffee cake, sweet rolls or tearings. j Makes 2*£ to 3 dozen butter rolls when I use a 2 inch cutter. In closing, may I add, it takes a beautiful inward life to make a beautiful outward life? MRS. L. H. HOY, Lynch, Nebr. —tfw— Dear Mrs. Pease: Will write you again? We sure like The Frontier Woman with all the recipes. We enjoy the entire paper because my husband and I were both born and raised near O’Neill. My parents, (Mr. and Mrs. Joe Go kie) now live in O'Neill and my husband’s mother lives in Inman. We have 2 sons. Dickie, 2l/a and Bobbie, was born in June. I am kept busy with sewing, cooking and taking care of the babies, but we do enjoy them so much. Am sending some household " helps and a good cake recipe Here are the household hints: Rubbing alcohol will remove white rings on varnished ta bles. A metal pot scratcher saved back vegetables is often quick er and cleaner than a brush for carrots and potatoes. A dampened sponge is very handy when ironing, use it to dampen spots that dry out. PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CAKE One and three-fourths cup cake flour, 3-4 teaspoons bak ing powder, 3-4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons short ening, 3 tablespoons peanut but ter, 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted, 1 cup nrrilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Procedure: sift flour, baking soda, salt and sugar together three times. Cream together shortening and peanut butter, add melted cho colate. Blend thoroughly. Grad ually add dry ingredients. Add milk, beating well. Bake in moderate oven of 350 F. for n bout 40 minutes. MRS. J T- THOMPSON, 1213 Second Ave. SE, Watertown, S. D. SANDHILL SAL - I Heaven is the only place left that you can lay up treasures safe from the tax collectors. Fewer people would need to hope* for the best if only more people would work for it. It is pretty risky for a man to j kick up his heels if he has 1 foot in the grave. Intelligence tests are silly. You simply will not bite, but when you find your score is high, those tests are a bit all right! — 84 Hours from India to Holt ATKINSON — Miss Laura MacLaehlan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert MacLaehlan, of Atkinson, arrived home re cently from Karachi, India.

Atkinson Hospital Tract Being Bought ATKINSON — A 10-acrt* tract in the southwest portion of At kinson, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ottmar Poessnecker, appears to be the site for the proposed 25 thousand-dollar Atkinson Mem orial hospital. Until Wednesday afternoon no transfer of real estate had gone on record at the Holt court house, but E. C. Weller, Atkin son auctioneer, said he had made available funds for the purchase of the property through a gift of j town lots and cash. The 10-acre tract was report ed to have been sold for $150 per-acre. The Atkinson hospital move has been stymied because of in decision over a site. Frank Mc Nett, architect, told interested persons that Memorial hall was "not suitable” for conversion to a hospital; others opposed a city-owned site near the rail road depot. The Atkinson Veterans’ Wives club has spearheaded the hospi tal move. O'NEILL LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Pound, of Blair, were weekend visitors at the home of Mr and Mrs Sumner Downey.
