War-HeIping Housewife Is Constantly
on Lookout for New Recipes for
Bread and Cakes Requiring

Every war-helping housewife, now
that greater efforts must be made to
save wheat, Is on the lookout for new
recipes for breads and cakes that re-

Perhaps these recipes will help her
solve the problem of the wheatless
meals. Many good quick breads can be
made from other fiours or meals and,
IL used often, constitute a great saving

be planted between the rows Of late
beans and will grow long after frost
has killed the beans.
Storage in the Home
BY utilizing every square foot Of
space in the garden a considerable
quantity of vegetables may be grown
for storage for winter use. If no stor-
age facilities exist in the home all the
crops suitable for keeping may be
stored in outdoor banks or pits. How
ever, it is not at all difficult to provide
storage facilities in most homes, 1t
being only necessary to make use of
the cellar, the attic, large closet, or
other parts of the dwelling, depending
upon the character of the product to
be stored.
Beans. including the Limas, may be
stored dry, and it is advisable to grow
them to as great an extent as possible
for winter use. Limas and other pole
beans may be planted around the fence
it being possible in this way to pro-
duce considerable quantities of dried
beans for winter use. The pods should
be allowed to remain on the vines until

Every family having sufficient land

second line of defense, and by doing

helping to win the war If you cannot
be in the trenches or doing other war
work, you can help out on food pro-
duction. Even though you grow only

Every pound of food produced and

food from national sources that can

food in time when food is going to

that the shortage Of food throughout

We are in this war and We have to

dislikes don't matter much just now.
It is not what you think or what we
think, that counts right now. The
facts are too big for overmuch in
dividualism; it is your war and my
war, but most of all it is OUR war

escape it or should want to. We must
win, or take licking, or bring about

Work Garden All Season
1t is possible in nearly all sections
of the country to grow late beets,
late cabbage, late potatoes and turnips
on ground that has already produced
a crop of lettuce, radishes, early peas,
early potatoes, or some crop requiring
a relatively shore period for it's ma
turity Gardeners are inclined to
neglect the opportunities for crop pro-
duction in the garden after the first
part of the season has passed and
frequently space is allowed to lie idle
that should be producing a crop OF late
potatoes, cabbage or turnips. In sec
tions where the season is short it is
possible to plant the late crops be-
tween the rows of early crops before
the early crops are removed, thus gain
ing two or three weeks time.
Late potatoes may be planted on
ground from which early peas or string
beans have been removed.
Late cabbage may be planted be-
tween the rows of early potatoes be-
fore this crop is mature. Turnips may
be sown between the rows of late corn

A half-acre garden, if cared for prop
erly, will produce far more vegetables
than the average family can consume
during the maturing period of the
crops. Only small portion of a gar
den of this size should be devoted to
those vegetables that must be used
as soon as they reach maturity. 1t is
advisable to devote the major portion
Of the space to those crops which if
not needed at once may be kept for
winter use. In fact, if the space is
availa BILE the garden should be planned

crops for winter use

BIG BASEBALL
DEAL WAS kept
UNDER The COVER

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 10
There seems to have oeen "a big deal
swung in the American Association
last fall of which the fans aren't gen
orally cognizant, despite the fact that
most OF the deal has been publicly
announced. The import of it hasn't
filtered in, that's all, because there
was no announcement from headquar'
tiers. The details are known, but the
general swap hasn't gained general
recognition.
The deal was engineered by the
Kansas City and Louisville clubs, or
rather Bill Clymer and John Camel
cooked it up last November in Louis
Vile during the meeting OF the minor
leagues. One day all OF the club own
ers took a trip to see how the Louis
Vile Slugger bats were made. AT
luncheon served there, Clymer and
Camel in a corner with sandwiches
and cold bottle and concocted the
following:
Pitcher Middleton, first baseman
Brief outfelders Platte and Compton
TO Kansas City for pitcher HUMPHREYS,
infelder Wagner and first baseman
Jack Lelivelt. All Of the deal has gone
through except the signing of Comp,
ton, who says he may quit the game.
Single Announcements
From time to time it had been an
nounced that one of the clubs had
bought a single player, but there was
never any statement made of the deal,
one of the biggest in minor league his
tory. The Louisville club has never
committed itself on the general swap,
but has contented itself by announcing
the individual player deals from time
10 time. Platte and Compton, two OF
the players involved, did not finish the
season here, but were shipped to the
Southern League. 1t is believed. how
ever. that the Colonies retained strings
on these men and paid part OF their
salaries in the Southern League. Can
gel, however, was in position to dellv-
er all OF the men he had contracted to-.
1t will be interesting to note which
manager gets the best of the big trade,
The Colonies are counting heavily on
Jack Lelivelt to supplement Jay klrke
as the heavy artillery for Clymer If
Jack delivers with the same regularity
that characterizes Jays wallops, the
deal will be regarded as a win for
Clymer, irrespective of the perform
ance of Wagner and HUMPHREYS. Jay
and Jack, batting fourth and fifth in
the Colonies attack this season, are
expected to break up many a ball
game.
