OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Observation-Disclosures
Miller Rhoads
"The Shopping Center
Let Us Face the Issue
With CONFIDENCE
ONFIDENCE not only in ourselves, but
- in our Country and its commercial and
industrial conditions. Before we allow
ourselves to become hysterca over the
fancied happenings of dim and distant
future, let us first consider our Country
itself, and some of it's boundess posi-
blities.
Consider these one hundred millions of
people. better fed, better clothed and better
housed, and with more advantages for bust
ness more resources for agricultural and
industrial progress more educational and
religious opportunities, more to be proud
of and to look forward to than any other
people, in this or any other age, have
known living in the most wonderfully en-
doWed Country on earth; q Country whose
wealth is said to be sixteen times as much
as that Of Japan, five times as much as
that of France, and twice as much as that
of England.
Isn't such d mental inventory of our
selves as this sufficient to inspire us to meet
any issue (even that Of war; with CONFI-
DENCE? Certainly it offers q basis for
some sound thinking. And yet we hear Of
some people who prefer to consider such
matters from an opposite and altogether
mpatr;otic viewpoint.
Rumor has it that many American fam
lies have turned willing ears to some of
the sensational stories going the rounds
concerning coming food shortages and
famine prices, and are laying up large
stocks Of provisions and other necessities,
little thinking Of how Impractical such {;
practice is, or, knowing that-by boarding
up-they are helping to create d food short
age, thus defeating the very object they
seek to gain, viz: lower prices.
CONFIDENCE is the very foundation
Of business. What we need to feel, if the
nation is to have the means wherewith to
live in plenty, is CONFIDENCE that will
keep the wheels Of industry in motion;
CONFIDENCE SO that we will not be in
duced to divert money to any one line Of
trade at the expense Of another; CONFI-
DENCE that will permit us to purchase as
literally as we ought the things we need to
wear and use, Just as it will prevent us in
buying foods we do not need.
The truly patriotic and sensible thing
the only thing, in fact for us, as good
Americans, to do at a time like this is to
look to the future with CONFIDENCE,
and, as business men, to do our utmost
by word and deed-to keep all lines Of
business active, remembering that the
Clothier, the Shoeman, the Halter the
Hardwareman and the Builder are just as
much entitled to share in the Country's
present prosperity as are the Coal-and-
Wood Man, the Dry-Goods Man or the
Grocer.
This done, we are sure that every willing
worker will have work a-plenty, besides the
Wherewithal to purchase all that his
depending family needs.

WOMAN SAVES MONEY

A woman has written into the Wom-
ans Home Companion about her gas
stove and she says in the August
issue:
The idea of telling other women
how | economic time and money in
the use of my gas stove came to me
on hearing a young housekeeper tell
about baking a budding, or just one
thing, IN a gas oven as large as my
own, which struck me as amazingly
e~Xtravagant.
when planning to have a baking
day with the oven, | sit down the day
before, and think out just what is
needed for several meals ahead which
must be cooked. For instance, | place
a roast in a pan just barely large
enough to hold it. thus economizing on
space as well. Then. if possible, |
cover the roast with a pan which can
be made to sit quite level, into which
| put several potatoes; or, if this ar
rangement isn't practicable, | put the
potatoes on the CRATE. Besides the

roast, l place a small pudding dish
containing a bread pudding; on a
small asbestos mat, beside the pud-
ding dish, a small pan of biscuits. A
vegetable may sometimes be baked in
a maple with all these things as we'll.
The following, all of which | have
tested, will be found good combina-
tons for any baking day:
"A meat loaf, covered, in a bread
pan; escalloped tomatoes in a pudding
dish; a pan of corn gems. Time about
an hour. Baked potatoes may be
crowded in almost always.
Roast chicken in small cake tin;
sweet potatoes peeled and sliced, sea
soned, and covered with milk in pud-
ding dish; macaroni and cheese in
bread tin. Time about n and one
half hours, oven moderate"

GIRLS BAKE BREAD

Many South Dakota girls are en-
gagged in the bread making project In
the various clubs of the state under
the direction of Agnes Morton, assis-
tant boys and girls club leader of the
State college extension division. In
this project each girl is required to
bake bread twice every month for
four months and hand in a written re-
port each month: to write a story on
how she learned TO make her bread
to attend club meetir gs, and to take
part in a local contest. Enrolment
closed May l.. A brief bulletin on how
to make bread was distributed free
by Miss Morton among the girl mem
hers.
