BROADCASTS
Business is Business
By LORA KELLY

"I was baking my daughters
birthday cake"
II was having my hair bobbed."
81 was busy playing golf"
These are some of the excuses
which several California women
gave for not appearing in the court
room for jury duty.
The judge reprimanded them Tor
presenting such trivial reasons, and
threatened to lock them up il they
didn't come when they were called
hereafter.
The women were at least honest
about it. Birthday cakes and treat
ments have been essentially femi-
nine concerns for a long time and
nobody questioned them as suitable
occupations. Wasn't woman's place
in the home, or even on the golI
links. il she could afford it?
But what does the triumphant
male do when he wishes to evade
jury duty?
Tell the judge he had to play a
round of golf with an out-of-town
customer? Say that he needed a
shave and a hair cut and therefore
couldn't report?
Does he plead off because he has
some crooks of home brew in the
cellar which he cannot leave?
Not a bit of it. He informs the
Court impressively that urgent
business prevents him from serv-
ing his country. Being a true pa
triot, he is lamentably sorry he can
not oblige.
He packs a real wallop into it, SO
that the Judge is thoroughly con-
WINGED he is right and therefore ex-
cuses him.
Going too thoroughly into detail
was what got Eve into trouble.

can never even visualize a time when
he will need anything stronger than
himself to lean on.
Rebellious Youth
This is the supreme egotism of
youth, and it is useless to argue
against it. Every youth of twenty
has solved all the problems of life
to his utmost satisfaction. It is only
when he reaches the middle years
that he wonders if he knows any
thing at all, about anything in the
world.
Church going if insisted upon by
parents in the early years may not
meet with approval of the children
then, but it is certain that IL we are
to have any religions at all in the
future children must be taught
church going as a habit. Thus they
can pass through the rebellious years
and arrive at maturity with an in
stinct that makes Sunday a day of
something more than copious eating
and limitless rest.

I asty Ways to
Prepare Dried Beef
49, By Sister Mary


What do you keep on your emer-
gency shelf? Tuna fish, salmon.
dried beef and bacon?
There are more expensive meats
that IAN be included in the array
but dried beef is a good old standby
that is not expensive and can be
used in a variety of ways.
Whenever dried beef is used it Is
seldom necessary to add salt to the
dish. The beef salts it sufficiently.
If the beef is too salty it should be
freshened carefully. Let stand in
cold water for an hour. Drain and
dry between towels.
Home cured dried beef makes a
delicious supper meat without any
fussing. Slice very thin and serve
like any cold meat
The dried beef on the market in
glass jars is very good and there are
many brands from which to choose.
This sort is more expensive than the
meat in the bulk but so very con-
~venient to have in the house that the
extra expense is warranted.
Scrambled eggs with dried beef is
an appetizing breakfast dish. The
beef adds piquancy to an otherwise
mild concoction.
Dried Beer with Eggs
One-fourth pound dried beef, 4
eggs, . tablespoons butter, u cup
milk, Is teaspoon pepper.
Melt butter in frying pan, add
beef, pulled INTO bits, cover and let
cook three minutes. Add milk and
eggs, unbeaten. Season with pepper.
Cook over a slow fire, lifting and
mixing with a fork. When the mix
&c.. 4. l.,, ,rJ ra+ha- fluffy GapNa
Immediately as longer cooking will
make the milk and eggs separate.
Macaroni with dried beef Is a
nourishing dish.
Macaroni with Dried Beef
One cup broken macaroni, l cup
Clipped dried beef. 2 cups canned
tomatoes, Il teaspoon pepper, coarse
bread crumbs, butter.
Cook macaroni in boiling sailed
water for 20 minutes. Drain and
rinse in cold water. Put half the
macaroni in a buttered baking dish,
add beef and cover with remaining
macaroni. Pour over tomatoes.
| Cover with bread crumbs, dot with
bits of butter and bake half ar hour
In a moderate oven. The macaroni
will absorb the tomato juice and the
dried beef adds a delicious favor.
This dish is almost a full meal in
itself. The macaroni provides starch,
the beef protein and the tomatoes
mineral salts.
Dreamed Dried Beef
One-fourth pound dried beef, 3
tablespoons butter, . tablespoons
flour, IS teaspoon pepper. 2 cups
milk.
Remove any stringy portions from
meat. Melt butter in frying pan, add
beef and cook until the edges curl.
Sift over flour and stir until well
blended. Add milk slowly. stirring
constantly. Cook until thick and
smooth. Serve on triangles of toast
or with baked potatoes.
Dried Beef with Potatoes
One cup chipT ID dried beef, 2 cups
mashed potatoes, . eggs.
Beat yolks of eggs until lemon
colored. Beat in potatoes and beef
Beat whites of eggs until stiff ami
dry. Fold in first mixture. Turn
into a buttered baking dish and bake
IS minutes in a moderate oven.
One or two hard boiled eggs car
! added to creamed dried beef. o.
an unbeaten egg can be stirred int
the sauce when removed from tn,
fire.

had to shoulder the burden of his familys support when his
father died, and go to work when he was little more than a
child, to feed and cothe his little brothers and sisters, and to
give them the education that he never had. But are they
grateful? They are not. Do they try to make it up to him?
They do not. They continue to make incessant calls on him.
They only see in poor, old A the family goat.

The Kadoka press and Kadoka reporter. [volume] (Kadoka, S.D.) 1910-1923, 1923-04-13

Chairman c. A. Craven and Otto
c. Sharon of the Board of Trustees
of the Town of kadoka, returned
Monday from Mitchell where they
had spent several days in conferen-
&c with the Ellerman e. Mclean
Construction Company of Yankton,
and the Dakota Engineering Com
pany, of Mitchell, in reference to
the general contract work on the
kadoka waterworks system, and
returned home with the report
that all differences between the
town and contractors had been
satisfactorily ironed out and that
Ellerman & Mclean will proceed
with the work of the general ms
tallation of the system.
The delay that was occasioned in
the placing of the bonds issued for
the water system caused delay in
the notification to the contracting
company that the money was avail
able for the building of the water
system, and in the meantime the
price of steel had taken sharp
advance over the figures submitted
with the Ellerman e. Mclean con-
tract, and that company desired
that the town stand the raise in
the price Of steel over that quoted
in the contract between them. The
Board of Trustees refused to do
this and the matter had been dead
locked for some time, with several
conferences being had between the
interested parties in an endeavor
to get the matter ironed out sattis-
factorily to both parties, and the
members of the Town Board stand
ing firm in the attitude of seeing
that the interests Of the town were
fully, protected in the matter and
that the system be installed within
the original figures. With the
work on the tower and tank being
rapidly rushed to completion, ac-
tive work on the building of the
rest OF the system was desired, and
the conference at Mitchell arrang-
ed with the result above stated
that the contractors will proceed
with the work, and at the contract
price made last fall The Ellcrman
& Mclean people are now working
at Colome, and they estimate that
it will take about thirty days to
complete their contract at that
place, and hen will Immediately
