The Frontier Woman — Bit of Ocean Water Dropped Off by Touring Kin Closest Woman Has Been to Ocean By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you nice people! Now is the time of year when the wild plum blossoms drip their finery on the wild plum trees and the apple blossoms come out to make their prom i s e s for a fruitful fall. I hope you have gobs of them so that you won’t have to leave all the blos soms on the trees but can take some in to the house _ where they Blanche Spann can sh«»d their P»at« fragrance and their fragile, dresden beauty for all to enjoy. This, too, is the season when we’re glad we planted all those tulips last fall, and are men tally deciding to plant gobs more this coming fall, though where we’re going to find the money, we simply don’t know. Grin. The daffodils toss their gay yellow heads in the wind and we go out and lok at the swel ling iris buds with delight for the season of spring blossom fruition is gladly at hand. I simply must have some Red Emperor tulips come another year, Their brilliant flash of color is a joy to see and you can spot it from a long way off. Takes a dozen, though, in a clump to make you feel you’ve got enough of them in a bunch and it would take 12 dozen to satisfy the spring hungry urge for color that most of us long for. Does your old spring hat need something to bring it in to the spirit of 1950 or the new one seem to need a note of color? Fasten on a clip or jeweled lapel pin. In the big shops, such decorations are found on the better hats and such a hat is sold for about five dollars more than it br ings without the decoration! Artificial flowers arc very smart this year, as a shoulder corsage, tucked in at the neck line or at the belt—or possibly at the wrist—so don’t hesitate to be the first one in your set to wear them. —tf w— Subscription Winners— ‘‘A busy mother,” of Middle branch, and Mrs. Herman Mc Daniels, of Atkinson, are the winners this week of 3-months’ subscriptions each. Dear Mrs. Pease: Hen> goes for that letter I’ve been telling myself I should write. Wish I could say that I’ve tried every recipe that is printed in The Frontier Wom an’s corner. However, I have found many that we like. We like your Apple Brown Betty just fine. Sometimes it isn’t handy to toast bread crumbs, so we substitute crush ed graham crackers. I think a bout 2 dozen crackers more would be just as good or better. We think it is delicious. Did you ever use green to mato mince meat for filling in filled cookies? If you have rath er sweet mincemeat, they are better. We never have trouble getting rid of these cookies. I believe it was in your col umn that I found the suggestion of using ground fresh apples in stead of apple sauce in apple sauce cake. We like it much better. Also, I have substi tuted green tomato mince meat instead of apple sauce and raisins. It is good, but the bat ter is thicker and more inclin ed to be sticky. When I am extra busy, but want tp bake a cake, I like Busy Day Cake. Our oldest son likes it as well as Angel Food. BUSY DAY CAKE Sift together: 1 2-3 cups sif ted flour, 1 cup sugar, Vi tea .. ■ "■» UK— ! spoon salt, 2 Vi teaspoons bak ing powder. Add 2-3 cup milk, ! 1-3 cup shortening. 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon flavoring. Put all in at once and beat 3 minutes (150 ■strokes). Bake in 350 F. oven for 35 minutes. I have used water instead of milk. It makes a cake which is ■ losft* moist. I’ve also used one cup of cream instead of milk i and shortening but like the rec | ipe best the way it is. Does anyone have a good rec ipe for beets besides Harverd beets, buttered beets or pickled beets? We do use beets in salad combinations such as beets, hard boiled eggs and a little onion or beets, green beans, eggs, chetse and lettuce. But I would like a hot dish recipe, if any one has one. It won’t be long until we will be planting gardens I hope I don’t forget to try to start some early tomato plants. I’ve been trying to think about what I want to plant but haven’t de cided yet. Well, I must get busy and de cide what kinds of cookies to bake today—probably oatmeal and maybe peanut butter cook ies. “JUST ANOTHER BUSY MOTHER” —tfw— Mrs. McDaniel's Letter Dear Mrs. Pease: I’ve many times thought of writing you a letter but never have put those thoughts into words. Could I express myself j as well as you, I no d o u b t would often write a letter. I en joy your writing very much. I suppose many are thinking that spring is never going to come. In late February my hus band's niece and her husband stopped in for a hurry up vis it enroute to their home in Elliot, N. D. Leaving their home in January, they visit ed points of interest in 11 states including the states a long the coast. As a souvenir they brought a container of the ocean water. It is so salty and clear as crystal, the near est to the ocean I've got so far. At the port of entry before going into New Mexico, then car was checked- Among some of the things they had were or anges, which the farmers prued as real fruit. The officer looked them over and with a broad smile and laugh said, better take those marbles back to North Dakota. In their trip they cov ered 7.000 miles, their next point of interest was home and they were sure anxious to get there, altho they said their trip was perfect. I want to add my favorite never fail recipe for chocolate cake. RED DEVILS FOOD One and one-half cups sugar, 2 eggs, 6 teaspoons coca, 2 cups flour, 1 cup sour milk or butter milk, a pinch of salt, % cup shortening, any kind. Put all in the mixing bowl and mix 5 minutes. Then add 1 level tea spoon of soda, dissolved in boil ing water, 1 teaspoon vanilla, beat until smooth. Bake 350 F for 30 minutes or until caxe mixture falls from side of pan. This can also be a layer cake MRS.

Try splitting it and serving it while warm with a whipped cream or a marsh mallow whip filling. Top the cream or whip with a candied red cherry holding a blanched almond. MMMMM! Or have you tried sprinkling moist packed coconut on a whipped cream top? Good on gingerbread or any short cake concoction of that type. Ever tried pouring hot caramel or chocolate sauce over squares of ginger bread? It’s a deluxe des sert and that’s the honest truth! Want something stirictly far different? Scoop out the center of a square of gingerbread and fill it with apple sauce. Shake a bit of cinnamon on the apple sauce. If the hips can take it— add the whipped cream top ping—brrrottther! Ever try cutting gingerbread center and spreading with a in squares, split through the center and spreading with a cream cheese and nut mixture This’ idea is for free—and he’ll think you’re pretty smart Bake gingerbread and cut it in squares. Make molasses cho colate cream by adding 1 table spoon molasses and two table spoons shaved unsweetened chocolate to one half cup of cream, whipped. Try these — I'll betcha the man of the house will declare that’s he’s your gingerbread man. REDBIRD NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Otto Ruzicka, of Dorsey, were in Redbird Sat urday, April 22 Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

LEIDY — O'Neill — i SANDHILL SAL I froze all winter long, told folks each chance I got, but pretty soon my friends will hear “I’m getting sunstroke it’s so hot!” I have never been able to de cide whether people with very loud voices are trying to make up for weak minds or what. Never be snooty to the peo ple you pass as you go up the ladder, you are very apt to meet them again on your way down. Do not expect gratefulness from those you give help. Be content with the glow that comes from within. It is a good thing to remem ber that if you are continually slinging mud some is bound to spatter on yourself.
