Old Woman’s Dream Can Give
Comfort to Mothers of Small Boys
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hope you got all those glad
iolus planted in late April and
through May. If you want to
have some special glads, hope
you didn’t think you can relax
now!
You should keep cultivating
around glads from the start
when they come up. If you still
plan to plant some this week,
they shouia be large bulbs if
you expect them to bloom before
frost.
June is the time to spray and
feed the gladiolus. When two
inches high, start spraying for
thrips. The rotenone sprays are
usually fine and it should be
•done every week or two. When
there are three or four leaves on
the glads, it’s time to start to
feed.
One good way to,do this is
by making a shallow trench
along one side of the row.
About four inches from the
plants and scattering in bal
anced plant food (half a cupful
for each 10 feet).
Cover with two inches of soil
and water. Feed all the rows
again when spikes begin to ap
pear.
Our glads, about two hundred
of them, all went into the gar
den this year. They do better
there as they get better cultiva
tion than if they were in the
border. Our early garden is close
enough to the house that it can
be watered.
Nothing likes rich soil quite so
I -i
much as pansies. They like a
good spongy soil and they’re
delighted if it has peat moss in
it. Add a rounding tablespoon of
complete plant food for each
square foot of pansy bed, when
you set them out, and water
daily so they quickly utilize the
plant food. They’ll reward you
with whoppers of blooms, bigger
than you thought possible.

Boyless Town
Dreariest on Earth—
Mrs. Victor Frickel of Atkin
son wins our three-months’ sub
scription to The Frontier:
Atkinson, Nebr.
Dear Blanche;
I wonder how many of your
readers dote on Ann Batcheld
er’s recipes in the Ladies Home
Journal like I do?
Here is one I have been using
for quite a few years now. It’s
grand for a hot meal in the win
ter, a quickie for washday, a
dish-washing saver for Sunday
noon meal, perfect for company
dinner, good for your own fam
ily dinner, a grand one-dish meal
for any day, any season.
BEEF GOULASH WITH
NOODLES
Have four pounds beef cut as
you do for any stew. A goulash
is stew with a slight disguise.
Season the pieces with salt and
pepper. Dredge with flour.
Brown the beef on all sides in
hot shortening. Add two cloves
garlic (minced), two cups chop
ped onions and five tablespoons
paprika. Add one quart water,
y4 cup tomato paste, cover tight
ly and simmer about two hours
or until the meat is very tender.
Lift out the meat, skim off the
fat, add a can of beef broth to
the gravy, if there doesn’t seem
to be enough. Cook lVfe packages
wide noodles in boiling, salted
water until tender. Drain. Rinse
with boiling water. Add the
noodles to the beef and gravy,
mix well. Put into a casserole.
Serve when it’s ready or keep
it hot in a moderate oven 350 F.
for a few minutes.
I would like to add a word of
comfort (?), to mothers of boys,
especially small boys.
THE BOYLESS TOWN
A cross old woman of long
ago declared she hated noise.
“The town would be so pleasant,
you know, if only there were no
boys!”
She scolded and fretted about
it ’til her eyes grew heavy as
lead, and then of a sudden the
! town grew still for all the boys
had fled! And all through the
long and dusty street there was
n’t a boy in view! The baseball
lot where they used to meet was
a sight to make one blue.
The grass was growing on
every base, and the paths that
the runners made, for there
wasn't a soul in all the place,
who knew how the game was
played!
The dogs were sleeping the
live-long day. Why should they
bark and leap? There wasn’t a
whistle or call to play, and so
they would only sleep. The pony
neighed from his lonely stall,
and longed for his saddle and
rein, and even the birds on the
garden wall chirped only a dull
refrain.
The cherries rattled and went
to waste—there was no one to
climb the trees. And nobody had
a single taste, save only the birds
and bees. There wasn’t a mes
senger boy, not one, to speed
such messengers can. If people
wanted their errands done, they
sent for a messenger man.
There was little, I guess, of
frolic and noise.
There was less of cheer and
mirth. The sad old town, since it
lacked the boys, was the dreari
est place on earth!
The poor old woman began to
weep, then woke with a sudden
scream! “Dear me!” she cried,
“I’ve been asleep—and, oh, what
a horrible dream”
