COWPEAs AS FOOD (By Lucille Smith)

Cowpeas, or southern field peas, which, despite their name, are really a kind of bean, are, like other dry beans, comparable with meat in the klnd of nourishmeht contained in them. and can well be used more extensively as human food.
 They are commonly used in the South, where they are extensively grown, but are practically unknown in the North and Northwest, where other, often more expensive, beans are consumed in large quantities. There are many varities of eowpeas. ef which the white and black-eye sorts are considered particularly de sirable for the table.
 In palatahiiity, digestibility and na- tritive value they compare favorably with other beans, while their delicate ana pleasing flavor lead many tn CO., sider them equal, if not superior to the latter.
 three forms-in the pod, shelled green and shelled dry, corresponding, re- spectively, to string beAls, shelled green beans, and dried beans, and call 1 ing for much the same methods of i pI Pstl dllUIl lUI lHe ldDlc. HG QfY cowpeas are by far the most common. Like dry navy or lima beans, cowpeas may be boiled with bit of fat meat or baked and served in place of lean meat or other food rich in nitrogen. Boiled and mashed through colander, the beans form a foundation for num- erous dishes. A delicious combination dish, called Hopping John," may be made as follows: Boil quart of cow peas and a scant pint of rice separate ly and mix together when done. The rice should be seasoned after it is cooked. Bacon or a beef bone boiled with the cowpeas adds desirable flavor to the dish. Another good rec | ipe is Baked Cowpeas and Cheese" :" tablespoon butter. P 1 table spoon finely chopped onion.
 l tablespoon finely chopped sweet green pepper or celery.
 ? cups cooked cowpeas.
 l 1-2 cup grated cheese.
 Press the peas through sieve to remove the skins, and mix with the cheese. Cook the onion and pepper or celery in the butter or other fat, be- ling @ ceful not to brown, and add them to the peas and cheese. Form the mixture into roll, place in but tered pan and cook in moderate oven until brown. basting occasionally with butter or fat and water. Serve hot or cold like meat.

LEE BAKER FOR
 SHERIFF AND COLLECTOR

A glance at our announcement col umn today will find the name of MT. Lee Baker as a candidate for the office Iof Sheriff and Collector for Hot Spring County.
 Mr Baker is native of this coun- ty and has been resident of Renter township for the greater part of his life and is therefore personally ac- quainted with great majority of the citizenship and needs little or no in- troduetion at the hands of the editor His life among the people here has won for him scores of strong friends who will read with pleasure his an- office and will, no doubt, rally to his support.
 He was raised on a farm in Saline township, where he moved with his father when quite young and his life's occupation has been that of farmer MT. Baker served several years as Constable of Renter Township and in this office he made fine record
 There is probably no man in the county who is liked more by his many friends and acquaintances than is Lee Baker. He is genial, whole-souled man who is willing toaget up in the nlghto for a friend at any stage of the game.
 He is honest, capable and, in the e. vent of his election, will make the county an efficient officer
 1t Is needless to say that he is a good democrat and that he has always been party worker.

SEEK ASSISTANCE FOR
 NEEDY FAMILIES

There are some needy families in Malvern and vicinity, and as the sea- son of "good cheer" is approaching, it is needful that we think of these families. We are requested to ask all who have discarde clothing, such as underwear, wraps, shoes and stock, ings, in fact, wearing apparel of any kind whatsoever, to please telephone Mrs. Fred Lehman, or Mrs. Jimmie Rowan, and these ladies will call for the donations. Last year a number of families were given assistance in this way and it is hoped the ladies will re- ceive generous response to this ap- peal. The distribution of clothing will not be confined to any one denomina- tion, and only needy ones will receive aid Those knowing of needy ones, please give their names to these la dies.
