COOKING LESSONS
(By Sister Mary) COOKING FOR TWO Sister Mary Tells How to Prepare
 Meats

It is impossible to cook roasts of meat for only two persons. The roast must be cut so small that there is nothing to cook. A leg of lamb is out of the question or a fresh ham roast. A pork roast cut from the ribs is sat isfactory as the roast may be cut any size required and roasted so many minutes per pound,
 Instead of leg of lamb try a piece of the shoulder.
 Roast Lamb
 Two pounds cut from shoulder 1-2 cup cracker crumbs, IA cup soft stale bread crumbs, tablespoon melted butter, Is teaspoon pepper, boiling water ? slices bacon, 1-4 tea spoon salt
 Have the bone removed from the meat. Cut through one side to make a flat piece. Mix crumbs with salt and pepper. Stir in butter and add just enough water to make moist. Spread over the meat Roll and tie. Put in roaster, dredge with four and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the bacon on top of the roast Put in a hot oven until the four browns. Then add 1-4 cup boiling water, cover closely and roast 1 hour l Ham Casserole Three medium sized potatoes, onions, 1 inChe slice ham, salt pepper mustard, ginger.
 | Put ham to soak in fresh cold Wa i ter one hour. Pare potatoes and slice very thin. Put layer in but tered baking dish, cover with a layer of onions. Season slightly with salt and pepper. Cut the slice of ham in half and put one half in dish. Leave the fat on the meat. Sprinkle meat with a very little mustard and ginger
 Add another layer of potatoes and onions, season and cover with ham Sprinkle with mustard and ginger Cover and bake 1 1-2 hours in a moderate oven. Serve with d single salad and steamed fruit pudding.
 Mock Filct Mignon One-half pound round steak, 2 | long slices bacon 1-2 teaspoon salt IS teaspoon pepper, milk.
 Have the meat chopped very fine with a little of the fat. Season with salt and pepper and add just enough milk to make moist enough to hold together. Form in small round cakes about as thick as the bacon is deep Wrap a slice of bacon around each cake and fasten with tooth picks Broil under the flame or pan broil in a hot iron frying pan. Serve garnished with parsely.
 Dreaded Veal Chops Choose chops cut from the loin Roll in bread crumbs dip in cgg slightly beaten, roll again in crumbs and fry quickly on both sides in hot drippings of butter Pour over inilli to cover, season with salt and pepper and cook in q slow oven for forty five minutes.
 Irish Stew for Two One and onc-half pounds of laml cut from the quarter, 3 potatoes ? onions, ? carrots ? tablespoons flour, salt and pepper,
 Cut meat in cubes, Put in kettle cover with betting water, about three cups, and cook slowly until the meat begins to be tender. Add onions sliced. carrots diced and potatoes cut in pieces the size of the meat cubes simmer until the meat and vcEe- tables are tender. Season with salt

The One Suggestion Bcss Dean
 Had to Make.

Pa Cosgroye is naturally the most courteous of men. but his wrath had been stirred so nightly by the action of the tall man at the roadside inn that he "said bad words steadily and methodically to himself for a whole minute after We had made our dramatic rush from the inn grounds, It was as artistic a performance as l ever had heard, and even my Puri- tan training was not proof against it. Despite the stress ol the moment, l could not cavil al Bcss Dean for the appreciative chuckling laugh which paused for breath on particularly picturesque imprecation.
 "Oh, Pa CosgroNc .'' she gurgled. If I could only cuss like that I'd be-"
 "Wha-what :" the big man stam- mered. Say ! clean forgot there were ladies present, I sure beg your pardon, Mrs. Graham-and-Miss Dean."

 No, keep on about quarter of a mile beyond the corner. You can see Jake Kearns' light when you get a few
 
 "Who is the tall gent back there ?' drawled Dicky. The one who ap- peared to be so peeVed at us?'
 "The biggest no-good stiff in all this section" Pa Cosgrove returned emphaticaly. His name-the name he gives up here-is smith, but I'll bet cooly there was sky or a chdt' tackled on before he changed it. He came up here about 1912, brought up nearly q whole mountain, built him a great, big house, He put barbed wire, miles of it, all around his boundaries, and had regular mystery place up there. Of course, there was a lot of talk during the war, bound to be, but either he was o. K. or had an awful Duli: anyway, he was never investigat, and since the war stopped he's got a lot of the men around here on his payroll in some capacity or other, pays big wages, and they don't dare say their souls are their own.
 Take that little restaurant man back there, Kronish, as nice and in offensive little chap as ever lived, But Smith owns his place, and lets him have it at low rent-the fel- lows a good landlord, and liberal to all his help--and, of course, Kronish slides down the pole whenever Smith rings the fire alarm. But Smith don own me, thank the Lord, although he could make it awful unpleasant for us if he keeps up this pose of think ing we had anything to do with that young fellow getting hurt. But I'm not going to cross that bridge until we come to it. There's kearns' light now, Mrs. Graham. Now everybody say your prayers that the docs there and can leave"
 Do Stop Pooling !"
 Bess Dean twisted herself in her seat as I stopped the car in front of the Kearns place, and Mr. Cosgrove leaped to the ground, running up the path like a boy.

Registration Cards.

In view Of the fact that so many
Automobile owners did not preserve
their small Registration Cards which
were sent out with each set of License
Tags last year and which Card was
supposed to be sent in with each ap-
plication this year, it was thought adj
visable to make inquiry from the Sec
retary of States office what would be
the mode Of procedure in case the
said Registration Cards could not be
located and the Register Of Deeds is
in receipt Of the following reply, and
which may of interest to many Of our
readers who have lost their Registra
tion Cards:

Redwood Falls, Minnesota.

Replying to your letter of the 18th:

partment in making applications in

Farmers Win in
Rail Rate Fight
ROADS DEFEATED IN ATTEMPT
TO BLOCK REDUCTION
FREIGHT CHARGES.

Organized farmers won another vic
tory in their fight for lower freight
rates on agricultural products, when
the Interstate Commerce Commission
refused to reopen hearings on grain
and hay tariffs, according to farm bu-
reau officials.
The railroads, after offering to re-
duce rates on all farm products ten
percent for six months, objected to the
commissions previous order, which
directed the roads to cut rates on
wheat, hay and coarse grain by Dec.
27.
The commission has re-affirmed its
order, and only an appeal to the courts,
it is said, can prevent enforcement of
the rate reductions. The order directs
that rates on wheat and hay be cut
half as much as they were increased in
August, 1921, and that rates on coarse
grain be set 10 percent lower than the
new rates on wheat. In the north
west it is estimated that this reduction
amounts to approximately 17R per-
cent.
Rate experts predict that this re-
duction will mean an actual saving OF
$50,OOO,OOO to American farmers in
the next IL months. The Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation presented
evidence in the hearings before the
commission, and vigorously demanded
the reductions which have just been
ordered.

Empty Dwellings.

"Take or leave" has been the haugh-
ty decree handed down to helpless
renters since the beginning of the
stringency in rentable dwellings. A
police housing survey shows that there
are 796 dwellings or possible dwellings
in the city without tenants and that
in the leading apartment house district
the landlord has issued his doom of ex-
tortion in just ZIG too many instances.
The renters, either through resource
fulness or necessity, have exercised
the option which the landlords assum-
ed did not exist and have handed their
supposed masters the cold consolation
of empty apartments, with the Incl
dental items of taxes, insurance, janit-
or service, interest and depreciation to
be deducted from the profits extracted
Of others who had to stay and pay.
Supply and demand" has been the
golden text Of the rent profteer. Now
let him have it, and let us observe
whether he is as enthusiastic about it
when demand tends to disappear as he
was when supply was out of sight.
The wages of too much extortion is
loss, and this is as true of one class in
the housing business as of another.
The building material monopoly also
has overhogged the trough, and arbitr-
ary labor has reaped idleness and loss
from its demands. "Take or leave" is
business attitude which is likely to
outgrow its seasonableness.- Louis

Meets Next Month
COMMISSIONERS ASKED TO
SELECT DELEGATES FOR
MEETING.

The sixth annual meeting of the
Minnesota Tax Conference will be held
in Minneapolis on January 18 and 10,
1922. The conference was organized
six years ago and meets annually for
the purpose Of discussing state and
local taxation.

gates. The county auditor and the
chairman Of the county board of each
county are ex-officio delegates, the
other three being named by the county
board Any interested citizen, how
ever, may attend the conference and
participate in its discussions.
County Auditor L. P. Larson is in
receipt Of letter from Roy G. Blakey
of the University of Minnesota, presi-
dent of the conference, asking that the
selection of delegates be brought to
the attention of the county board at its
January meeting. In order that the
agricultural interests of the state may
be fully represented at the conference,
the president suggests that one or
more of the delegates to be named by
the board be selected from the farm
ing community Of the county.
The program this year will be very
largely devoted to a consideration of
the excessive tax burdens now being
borne by business and property and
the urgent necessity for some measure
of relief before business conditions will
be restored to normalcy. Governor
Preus and other prominent speakers
will address the conference.

CA Lection on
Tues, January
MAYOR SMITH AGAIN INDUCED
TO HEAD THE TICKET FOR
REELECTION.

Local politics was considerably en-
livend last Thursday evening when a
large delegation of prominent Red
wood Falls citizens convened with his
honor and persuaded him to again be-
come candidate for reelection. At
first Mr.. Smith seriously objected to
the use of his name, informing the de-
legation that he thought someone else
should run for the office, as he had
served long enough. He finally con-
sented. Mr.. Smith has made most
excellent mayor and the people are
loath to lose his services to the COM
munity.
At this meeting Alderman John
Knudson of the 1st ward withdrew
his name and announced that he would
not be candidate. Mr.. Knudson has
served the best interest Of the city
most Loyalty and faithfully for the
past eight years, and is deserving OF
the hearty commentator of the citi-
zens Of this community. His with
drawal is to be regretted, but he leaves
the aldermanic body with keen sense
of duty well performed, and the best
wishes of his loyal supporters.
The entire ticket, which was ar
ranged at this meeting, is most ex-
cellent one and deserving of hearty
support by the voters on January 3rd.

Community Christmas
Tree a Success.

The community Christmas tree held
last Saturday evening in front of the
courthouse was well attended, notwith-
standing the fact that the weather
was extremely cold. The tree was
about twenty feet high and beautifully
Illuminated with colored electric light
globes, and was donated by Mayor
Smith. The committees in charge had
all arrangements perfected for an Ella
borate program, but the weather in
terfered somewhat in carrying out the
full plan. It is expected that the
community tree will be an annual fea-
ture of the Christmas spirit in REQ
wood Falls from now on.
The electricity for the tree was
furnished by A. C. Burmeister, who
is always willing to help boost along
anything pertaining to the public wei
fare.
