COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The May Teacher Training exami-
nation was held at the Flat River
High School building on the 7th in
slant. Two students, Mary Haney
and Clara Dyle, were prevented by
illness from taking this. examination.
1t will be remembered that the Flat
River Teacher-Training class stood
high among the classes of the State
last year and the class of this year
is expecting to hold its position or
advance.
In a recent circular State Superin-
tendent Of Schools Uel w. Lamkin,
says: "In reply to several inquiries,
and for the benefit of those schools
which are not represented in the re-
cent Superintendents meeting at JEFF
ferson City, | wish to make the fol-
lowing statement regarding my posi-
ton as to the teaching of German in
the schools of Missouri.
/. No foreign language should be
taught in any elementary school in
the State.
The State Superintendent will
cooperate with school authorities in
dropping German from High School
courses. He will give proper credit
for work already done in the sub
ject. While higher institutions re-
quire two units of a language for ad-

POTATOES ARE
GOOD SOLDIERS

Potatoes are good soldiers. They
will make the hoe handle little more
wieldy; they will make the pillow ham
die a little less cumbersome; they
will shorten the afternoon, especially
that period between o'clock and
nightfall, when a fellows dinner be-
gins to give way; and they are a good
friend in the hay field. But, like many
good friends, and like certain brand
of soldier that has been produced in
Europe, they become somewhat tire
some when they are presented in the
same way continuously, The average
potato is usually boiled or fried, and
since frying is not good form now, at
least in the best of families, some in
genious methods of preparation must
be devised to induce the consumption
of potatoes which has been recon-
mended. Miss Essie H. Heyle of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture has suggested that some of
this er-a-camouflage, by which
things become not what they seem,
will help the consumption of potatoes.
In this way the housewife can feed
her family potatoes three times a
day and they will never know it. Miss
Heyle offers the three following reci-
pes to assist housewives in using their
quota of potatoes:
One cup mashed potatoes, l cup
cornmeal, l cup meal, egg, 2 table
spoons vegetable fat, tablespoon
corn syrup, teaspoon salt, A tea
spoons baking powder. Mix salt, bak-
ing powder, cornmeal and potatoes.
Add milk, syrup, melted fat, and beat
en- egg. Put in creased muffin tins
and bake 40 minutes.
Two cups hot mashed potatoes,
prepared with milk and oleo), cups
faxed salmon, salt and pepper,
crumbs, egg. Mix potatoes and sal
mon and season. Form in shape Of
outlets, dip in egg and bread crumbs,
place on well CREASED pan and brown
in the oven.
One-fourth cup oleo or other fat,
1-2 cup sugar, Sd cup dry riced pota-
to, eggs, Ia cup milk, IA teaspoon
salt, ! square chocolate, teaspoons
baking powder, ga cup corn or rice
-four. Melt the fat, add it to the SUI
gar, then add the well beaten eggs,
and warm potatoes. Beat well. Sift
the -four, salt and baking powder, then
add to the first mixture with sufficient
milk to make a cake dough. Bake
about 35 minutes in a moderate oven.

FORM LOCAL ROAD Clubs

Only few persons get what they
wish without working for it. Good
roads cannot be obtained by merely
wishing for them. 1t is necessary to
work for them, and to work continu-
ally and forcefully. This is just as
true of good dirt roads as of the most
expensive types. Furthermore, one or
two men in community can accomp-
fish very little, except to pursuade
others to help actively in the CAM
paign for improvements. Roads are
community affairs, and good roads are
only obtained and maintained by COM
munity energy, expended continuous
ly. 1t is not enough for a man to say
he is interested in good roads; he
must prove his faith by his works.
Hundreds of good-road clubs have
been organized, but few have lived
long or accomplished much because
they did not work continuously along
well-laid plans. Yet, there is hardly
a community where a good roads club
cannot become a strong influence in
improving the local highways and by
ways. The main roads receive the at
tention of the State and county OH
Gals, but the much greater mileage
of roads which are not parts of
through routes must always be Of To-
cal concern only. The Improvement of
through routes by the active, united
effort of numerous persons interested
il touring is one of the most notice
able results of a large part of the
present methods of road propaganda.
me same kind of work in a commun-
ity will bring about equally good re-
suits in the betterment of local roads.
1t is the system of local roads which
means most to large portion of the
rural taxpayers, for it is over the To-
cal roads that they go % market,
their children go to school, and they
take part in the social life Of their
neighborhood. The local club can ac-
complish great deal Of good for
these roads, as has probably been
shown most noticeably by the results

DON'T PLANT SOY
BEANS TOO EARLY

Soybeans should not be planted
while there is danger of cold, damp
weather. In central Missouri plant
ing should not be done before May 10
at the earliest. In the extreme SOU
thern part of the State, plant not ear
lier than May 5, and in the northern
part May 20 or even as late as June
l. When they are planted with corn
it is well to delay corn planting few
days later than normal. Soybeans
are best planted in. rows far enough
apart to cultivate. This is especially
true on land where weeds are plenti-
full. Soybeans are quite easily over
run with weeds. They do not cover
the ground as cowpeas do.
Seeding in 32 to SO inch rows re-
quires from Is to 20 pounds of seed
to the acre. If they are planted with
corn, 8 pounds to the acre will be
enough to give the same number of
beans as kernels of corn planted.
Among the varieties best adapted
for general use are the Morse, Medi-
UNI Yellow, Mikado, Wilson, Picking
and Virginia. While any of these va
rietics will rive satisfaction for gen.
eral uses, the Wilson, Picking and Vir-
ginia are to be preferred for hay or
planting in corn for silage purposes.
Where the crop is to be used for seed
or for hogging down, the Morse, Me-
dunn Yellow or Mikado are preferable.
Avoid the Mammoth Yellow variety.
Except in the extreme southern part
of the State, this variety will not ma
ture seed.

A VALUABLE FOOD

How many of us have heard, over
and over again, Nuts may be used
instead of meat" Nuts should be
used instead of meat. All nuts are
good, valuable as food, because they
are rich in essential oil. Some nuts
are better than other nuts, but "all
nuts are good nuts, as the. Kentucky
gentleman said of whiskey.
In these days of high and exorbitant
prices, the nut should find welcome
place on the tables of those who are
not making high wage or salary. 1t
would also be we'll if those able to af-
ford so-called better things, should
use more nuts.
People are learning these things;
nuts are becoming more and more pop
ular as table food They are good
as we have them from the market,
and they are good in combinations of
food, in salads, in hashes, in a multi
tude of ways.
And not the least valuable among
the nut family is the one-time plebeian
peanut. The peanut enters into most
of the vegetable meat substitutes. 1t
is the joy of the vegetarian. 1t is
wholesome and filling. 1t is nutritious.
1t puts something on the ribs" 1t
ought to be more used than it is. 1t
is good as we have it from the ven
der on the sidewalk, and it is good
boiled, or ground, or mashed and COM
bined with other cereals in the raw
state.
No one can eat peanut butter spread
generously on sandwich and go hun
CRY. Don't turn up your nose at this
simple and satisfying food. Try it
and be glad.-Dayton Journal.
