GIANNINI EMOTIONAL IN
BIG SANTUZZA ARIA

Dusolina Giannini of the opulent
mezzo soprano voice, returned to us
for a recital last Saturday evening
as the third artist in Mrs. Wilson
Greene's evening course of concerts,
singing before rather small
audience at Continental Memorial
Hail.
She brought US a tempestuous. and
finely dramatic Santuzzis aria from
"Cavalleria Rusticana" as her final
encore, that reveals the many rea-
sons for her opera successes abroad.
But what has happened to Clan
mini? She has taken on most UNI

WILL GROW MORE
STRAWBERRIES

NTRAWBERRY culture is to take
- on a substantial growth in the
Bitter Root valley this year. 1t
is expected that $50 acres more of
land will be growing berries this year
owing to the campaign to increase the
berry acreage. Now there are only
about 200 acr Of strawberry lands
in the valley. Most of this acreage is
south of Hamilton. It is reported
that one grower alone will plant 35
acres of plants in the spring.
According to a final check up of the fig
ures for last years strawberry business,
30 carloads were shipped by express or in
less than car lots to the nearby markets.
Growers of berries anticipate more favor
able shipping conditions this year than
last. The increased acreage, it is said,
viii permit the carloads of fruit to be
handled with regularity. It is also believed
that returns on the fruit will be more sat
isfactOry than if there was delay in load.
ing, on account of shortage Of berries fol-
filling the car. 1t will also permit the
loading Of cars with the maximum tonnage
Of crates and will relieve the situation Of
sending some cars with less than the maxi
mum Of tonnage.
1t is understood that the fruit this yeal
will probably be marketed thrOu&h one
agency instead of two which were func
tiOning a year ago.

RABBITS
KILLED in DRIVE

DHILLIPS county jack rabbits
were indeed out of luck when
word was broadcast through the
county agents office last December
that the bunny skins were in big de-
mand and prices ranging from fifteen
to twenty-five cents each would be
paid for them.
Immediate action was taken by sports
men in all parts of the county to round up,
shoot, poison or trap the twenty-cent values
winch were running at large everywhere.
Since then collecting rabbit skins has be-
come q winter occupation with a large num-
Der OF people throughout the county and
many are reporting daily incomes ranging
from So to $40, depending on their good
fortune in finding a supply of fairly gentle
rabbits and the steadiness Of their nerves
in plugging" them.
Walter Westermann, Phillips county rep
r~esentative Of the Stephens Fur company
OF Denver, reports that he has shipped out
over 1000 pounds Of rabbit skins to date
for which the hunters have received over
$500. Considering the skins other dealers
nave purchased, quantities which were
shipped direct to fur company, and the
number not yet marketed, it can safely be
estimated that more than $4,000 rabbits
nave been killed as a direct result Of being
able to market the skins. However, the
biggest benefit will be secured by saving
the grain and feed crops these rabbits
would have destroyed the coming season.
Carl Gjersing, who lives south Of Bow
dom, claims he produced the banner crOu
of jack rabbits in Phillips county and
proved it when three hunters killed 1,20C
rabbits in four days in and near a three
acre corn patch which had not been har-
vested.
Judging by the checks, it is not surDris.
ing that rabbit hunting has changed from
? a winter pastime to a winter occupation
Bernal Southwick and Ray HOverson, two
young men living south of Malta, have solo
$252.10 worth Of skins locally and have
shipped almost an equal amount direct t
fur dealers. Wade Mcneil, living near Re
gina in the southern part of Phillips cOun
ty, received a check for $173.1O for hi
= catch. Earl Shores, Of the same cOmmun
ity, received S139.SO for the skins he ha.
4 sold to date. Numerous other ambition
and determined hunters have secured from
$50 to 800 for the rabbit skins they hav
marketed the past month.
So far, five rabbit drives have been con

my thrifty friend could make tough cuts
tender and luscious. She follows the prin-
ciple-"One, two. If it is a pot roast, the
juices are scared or sealed in over a hot
fire, water added, the kettle covered, and
the meat allowed to simmer gently al
most under the boiling point, for two or
three hours or until the connective It's
sue is SOftened and the meat tender and
juicy. She follows the same rule with her
stews, putting the meat into boiling water,
very often browning the meat over a hot
fire to develop flavor as well as to retain
juice and then simmering it slowly for a
long time.
If my intelligent friend we're to boil the
meat vigorously as she bOils potatoes, it
would become decidedly tough n leath-
cry.
OF course, should you prefer to have the
flavor Of the meat in the liquid, as we do
for soup, the meat shOuld be put into cold
water and brought to a boil. adding salt
at the beginning. Since salt draws out
the juice, it should not be added until the
surface Of meat is well scared.
Practice
Since the cheaper tough cuts of meat
contain just as much nutrient as the ex-
pensive cuts, and since with knowledge
they may be prepared to rival lido l dare
say) even the renowned POrterhOuse, the
wOuld-be thrifty housewife should give
them attention and practice.
Tough cuts can also be made tende by
pounding, then break up the long fbers by
grinding, and by cooking with acid such as
vinegar and lemon juice. Tomatoes, which
add distinction to any meat dish, contain
acid and thereby make the connective It's
sue Of meat easily sOftened.
Following are a few meat recipes you
will want in your file:
Spanish Meat Loaf
Two lbs. raw ground meat, 2 cups rolled
oats, 2 cups canned tomato, y cup diced
celery, IL tsp. salt, f. G. pepper, f. G.

Industry Is Growing
At still another angle, the industry is
linked with the commercial production OF
Great Northern beans, which has grown
rapidly in the last few years into a major
industry i'm this locality. Growers and
dealers have also made considerable prog
ress in growing and marketing other varie'
ties Of beans, especially Mexican Reds, 8
variety used in making chilli and similar
dishes.
The companies which have contracted
peas are the Great Western Seed company
with local headquarters at Bridger, thu
Roach Seed company whose local business
is centered at Belfry, and the BeartOOtl
Seed company, a Billings concern, which
has branches at Belfry and Red Lodge.
