No Ruffled Dust-Catcher Lamps in
Picture Window in New Pease Home
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Don’t look now but isn’t that a
purple anemone waving in the
breeze along the pasture fence?
You know, some of you call them
daisies. Most of them are white
but some are blue or purple. How
I used to love to gather them
when going to-and-from school
and Bob used to come with a
bunch clasped in a grimy fist.
The meadow out in front of the
old house was always rich in
flowers through May and June.
There is a sloping meadow and a
view for miles in front of our new
home, and our picture window
really frames a lovely picture
view the year around. I have no
ntettionu of ham ming gspniotA
intention of hamming things up
by putting one of those ruffled
dust-catcher lamps in our picture
window, when nature has so
much better views to offer. It
will be a changing panorama ev
ery month.
As a mailer of fad, we have
a good view in every direction.
Our old orchard (we have two
orchards, one new one we
started when we bought our
place several years ago) lies
north of the house, close enough
so I can sneak over and snipe
apple peach, cherry and plum
blossoms for the house.
A lot of different varieties grow
near the house, too.
Our lawn, when we get it start
ed and the yard fixed, will slope
down in front of the house on a
►>
gradual slope so we should have
better drainage. I lost many iris
and various bulbs every year be
cause the old yard was so wet.
The drainage was so poor many
things just naturally died because
of too (much water.
I used a novel idea over my
kitchen stove in our new home. I
used a tier of birch shelves, set
not vertically but on a horizontal
scope. These form small bins for
the clock, hot holders, seasoning
used at the stove and such things.

Newspapers Can
Prevent Earaches!—
Dear Frontier Woman:
Any kind of weather can be ex
pected this month, I suppose. In
Nebraska you can expect to have
rain, snow, sunshine, wind and
freezing temperatures all in the
same day!
This is the time when mothers
have a time getting Johnny and
Mary dressed properly so they
won’t catch cold for when they
start for school in the morning
the sun may be shining and tem
perature normal, but by the time
Miss Jones dismisses them it may
be cloudy, windy and snowing
like mad!
Just a little hint: It might be
old fashioned but it helps like ev
erything if you will see that there
are old newspapers at the school
house so Miss Jones will have one
when the occasion arises. Just
slip two or three hicknesees un
der that thin jacket Johnnie wore.
Maybe Mary even came without
her head scarf. Fold the news
papers two or three sheets length
wise and fasten the towel around
her head. That’s better than
having to cry with an earache.
After what we went through
in his vicinity a few years
ago, it isnt’ a bad idea to know
some of the things that our grand
parents did. Did you ever use
newspapers wrapped around your
feet and then put on your over
shoes. Try it some time when the
mercury is down to around 20 be
low and you have to go do chores.
(Next winter, I’im talking about.)
Another help is to have a
small piece of paper a liille
larger than the rubber heels we
find on most every pair of shoes
nowadays. Place paper over
heel, then put on your over- |
shoe and make the overshoes go
on more easily and also it saves |
ripping out like they do when
too much strain is put on it day
after day.
Do you have to buy a jar of
paste every tiime you go to town
for your children to paste with at
home? Here’s a good library
paste recipe which may help some
teacher as well as some mother.
This recipe makes one pint:
LIBRARY PASTE
Mix Vi cup sugar and % cup
flour thoroughly in a pan and add
one pint of water, stir well and
add lAt teaspon of powdered alum.
Cook until thick, stirring con
stantly. Add about 15 drops of
clove oil. This keeps it from
spoiling.

SANDHILL SAL SAYS
Her health is always better af
ter she gets all the dishes done.
Before they’re done, she feels too
tired to do them.
Life is like olives. Sometimes
you have to learn to like it.
If you didn’t vote in the pri
maries, don’t gripe about the can
' didates.
If you have a man who tells
you you look pretty and helps
with the dishes sometimes, too,
hang on to him. He’s a precious

Nebraska — "Oiling
Up for the Future"’
Do you know that Nebraska
has more acres (8,000,000)
under oil lease than any of the
surrounding states?
Oil was first discovered in Ne
braska only about 12 years ago,
at a well three miles east of
Falls City. Today, Nebraska’s
oil production is well over
1,000,000 barrels a year. Our
growing oil industry is just
one more achievement about
which Nebraskans can boast.
You can be equally proud of
our state’s brewing industry
which, for years, has carried on
an educational campaign with
retailers on the importance of
approved tavern operation.
t
As a result of this program, the
general operation of Nebras
ka’s taverns merits high praise.
