County Judge No. 1442 Jan. 22, 29; Feb. 4. 1951 NEB SKA by JANES C. CLSON, Superintendent STATS HISTOBICAL COCIZTT. A frequent told tale out of old Nebraska is the story of "The Doughnut Squaw." I'll not vouch for its accuracy, but its a good yard, and m this last column of me uia ycai iui mc mot ji the new, depending on when your paper is published, I'd like to pass on the latest ver sion to come to my attention. I got it from Arthur L. and Har ry .6. Palmer, veteran Omaha lawyers now living in California. As they tell it, their grand mother. Matilda Lundin Peter son, was the original "Doughnut Sauaw." With her husband. i 1 , , , . Bvon .TnVisn shp nan come to v; V" Hph . , n h doushnut recipe such as could have origi nated only in that Scandinavian home-land of so many pioneer Nfbraskans. It wasn't long before the Pe terson home was a favorite stop ping place, for Indians as well as whites. Among the former, the comely Matilda's doughnuts became a legend, and slie be came known as "The Doughnut Squaw." One day, so the story goes, a visiting chief, completely charm ed by the lady of the household and her cookery, offered to trade Sven three squaws for the Doughnut Squaw. The amused husband jokingly agreed and promptly forgot about it. Not so the Indian. A few days later he appeared at the door with three squaws in tow, all set to demand performance, fimrpd and anerv. Mrs. Peter son loosed Viking thunder and lightning on her penitent and panicky spouse before she ran for help. Even though Sven was well and favorably known among the Indians, he now was in a des perate situation. The Indians were in no mood to have the bargain cancelled and it was only after much consideration that they agreed to call it off. The grandsons, who knew Ma tilda in later years as a domi nant and vigorous figure in an aggressive business community, venture the explanation that the Chief decided to call the deal oil lest he and his tribe be ruled by "The Doughnut Squaw." As they wrote me, ne nau wui fiacv, porip and reeal and he was bargaining for decility and doughnuts." It's a good story.

RA CAPITOL NEWS LINCOLN The Nebraska leg islature started its third week here Monday with a full sched ule of committee hearings, elev- I en bills ready for second read ing, and two of the most con troversial measures of the young session started through the mill. When the lawmakers adjourn ed for the week end, 116 meas ures had been introduced. This compared to 199 at the same point a year ago. The strange thing was that Bill Drafter Jack Wilson had received requests for, and had drafted, 336 bills. The question everyone here was ask ing was, "Why are the legisla tors sitting on those bills?" There were any number of an swers. One was that the mera- a eroun iprt v cpV. rhnrW changes of the grading terms, Tv,L pnf ZaZ Zn nf Vh'Prof. Wm. J. Loeffel. chairman of bills and for an early adjourn- "U4l"QI , l. Uie . verity ment. Another suggestion islof Nebraska in explaining the that sentiment in the legisla-i ptfe revlslon says it is essen ture hasn't quite "Jellied yet ffi adm ?the $ and manv nf thp Wk a .nr?"1LUC1'" "ll-al . bv want to do some more pulse pet projects. nmiontr i The two controversial bills are those of Sen. Hugh Carson of Ord which would put the state liquor control commission in the wholesale hard liquor business, with the revenue earmarked for highways, and a proposal by Senators Earl J. Lee of Fremont. C. C. Lillibridee of Crete and nitn PmHc hcrina tr roctrro flunked the committee test in the past several sessions. But he says, "This thing has never been pushed before and I'm going to push it." Senator Lee, spokesman for the trio offered the license plate bill, said he had the support of 15 other senators who will go along with him and was on the: prowl for more when the ses sions started this week. The Carson bill would make the three-man liquor commis sion "the sole wholesale distrib utor" of hard liquor. The Ord senator has released several statements attacking what he calls the Omaha liquor monopoly of eight wholesalers. He has also directed criticism at the ! liquor lobby as an "evil and sin ister thing. The proposal would give the ;c0mrmssion power to buy liquor ,.from such SOUrces as it may- deem desirable" and charge "such profit on resales as will defray the expense and such ad ditional profit as may seem right and proper." The measure calls for a half million dollar appropriation to set up a revolving fund which would launch the commission into the wholesale, industry. The squabble over license i x lie ouuauuic uti m,viij- I , . -ij :Pe Prenxes siariea fi y when the Scottsbluff chamber of commerce learned the state highway department planned to add a letter as the last thing on the plate. This would have en abled the motor vehicle division to make uniform size plates, be cause as soon as one serial of numbers was used up. the letter would be changed and the same set of figures could be used again. Gene Haylett, secretary of the Scottsbluff chamber, proposed that if some juggling was to be done, Scotts Bluff county should get No. 3 instead of No. 21 because it had gained in popu lation since the prefixes were first assigned. The battle reached such pro portions that the governor and State Engineer Fred H. Klietsch stepped in and "solved" it by changing the prefixes to aDDre- viations of the county names. Senator Lee said law enforce ment officers, particularly had protested the change.

Williams withdrew nis Dills requiring loyalty oatns ! of teachers, college faculty members and public employees and substituted a bill requiring Communists to register with the secretary of state. The budget committee spent the week end visiting Board of Control institutions at York, Grand Island, Kearney and Hastings. They earlier had toured the Orthopedic hospital here and the home for depend ent children. This is all part of the get-acquainted process be fore submission of the Boards budget. Cass County Extension Notes Change in Meat Grading System The change in federal meat grading of beef has caused some confusion to the homemaker at the meat counters. Since the new beef grading system went into effect, meat purchasers have been confronted with the the department of animal meat grades. The change was made to make room for a new bracketing of some of the meat wjuch under the old terminology was known as "Commercial." Professor Loeffel states ma ture animals, the hardbone or beef now makes up the com mercial grade while the soft bone or the lightly fleshed young cattle has been shifted to the good category. Beef previously sold as good now becomes choice, while the latter is now known as prime along with beef pre viously classified as prime. The revised grades are prime, choice, good, commercial, utili ty, cutter and canner in that order of quality. The choice grade is recommended for the homemaker who wants top qual ity. The choice grade is rec ommended for the homemaker j who wants top quality disre-i garding cost. The choice grade comes from corn-fed steers and heifers. It's tasty, tender and juicy. Tender cuts such as sir loin, porterhouse and club stpak make excellent broilers. Rib and rump are recommended for oven roasts and the steaks for broiling while the other cuts of the choice grade are suitable for braising and pan-broiling. At the present time from the nutritional standpoint there is no correlation between grade and nutritive value. Meat is bought for the protein content as a source of energy. For this reason the homemaker should not overlook the more econom ical cuts or the lower grades. Lower grades of meat and less tender cuts requires slow cook ing in moist heat such as brais ing, simmering or stewing. Prof. Loeffel warns that meat should never be "boiled." Such treat ment hardens the fibers and lowers its tenderness. In changing the grades, the homemaker should not confuse the inspecting and the grading. The inspection is for wholesome- ness and is done by the Bureau of Animal Industry of the USDA. Meat grading is under the Pro duction Marketing Administra tion and is only a means of des ignating quality. 4-II Leaders Banquet February 1 The annual Cass County 4-H Leaders Recogntion Banquet and Leader Training meeting will be held Thursday evening.

Rogers dunked 31 points in set ting the new school record. His feat was accomplished i despite a handicap of having to; wear a special face mask, after ' he was injured playing volley j ball. The Union cagers, with Rog- j ers pacing the attack, were held I to a slim one-point lead at the intermission, leaving the floor ; with the score 21-20 in their favor. But a second half rally gave the Cass county crew a com manding lead as they won going away. Howery, Bartlett high scorer, hit 18 points to trail Rogers in thP srnrina rin9rtmpnt the scoring department.

LIMITS ON TROUT LINCOLN Nebraska anglers received another boost as the State Game Commission an nounced that effective Feb. 15. the trout season will open on a year-around basis. Last year the season ran from April 1 through October 31. By bringing the trout season on a 365-day basis, there is now a continuous season throughout the year on all species of fish found in the state. The bag and possession limit on trout was cut slightly to par tially offset the longer season. The bag and possession limits are now 5 and 5 as compared to 20 pounds plus one trout but not more than 10 trout in 1950. As an indication that Nebras ka's introduction of white bass is doing exceptionally well, the Game Commissioners doubled the bag and possession limits to 10 and 10. The white bass is rapidly becoming popular at the state's numerous reservoirs. The dailv bae and possession limits on craDDie were cut to 10 and 10 from 15 and 15. A 25-bag and nossession limit was placed on perch. COLD CASH MELTS JEFFERSON, Ore.
