1.-TWO Minute Talks"
BY
MISS AUBYN CHM
What to Eat at the Picnic.

To many, a picnic is real rest and
diversion while to others, it means
hours of preparation and "stewing"
in hot weather.
Whether the picnic is held in the
city park or some beautiful spot along
a creek were the air is fresh and the
children may wade, the main idea of
picnic is the food. In planning for
| a picnic, however, it is always impor-
tant to remember that it ought to be
a vacation for the housewife as well
as the family, and everything should
be planned as simply as possible, using
paper plates and napkins, so that
when the fun of eating is over there
will be no drudgery of cleaning up.
This is the time when the fathers
and the brothers have their turn at
ter where the picnic is held, all good
picnickers burn the papers and other
refuse left from the meal.
A very simple and delightful family
picnic may be planned by preparing
a substantial hot dish at home and
carrying it in the back of the auto
mobile, either wrapped to keep it
warm or in a portable fireless cooker.
Doesn't this sound like nice meal:
Scalloped ham and potatoes for the
hot dish, lettuce sandwiches, olives, a
basket of fruit, firecracker cookies
and ice cream, with a fresh, cool
milkshake to drink.
| CnononoI Han, onI Dn&o<noc
Into a well buttered pan put slices
of raw peeled potatoes and a little
pepper; then layer of thinly sliced
uncooked ham; add another layer of
potatoes and ham, and pour over them
thin cream sauce made by mixing
one tablespoon of flour in one table
spoon of melted butter, to which a cup
of milk has been added and the whole
cooked until thickened. Sprinkle the
top with bread crumbs and bake in a
moderate oven until brown and the
potatoes are we'll done.
Sandwiches. -
Cut whole grain or graham bread
into slices; spread each slice with
butter and on one side place lettuce
| leaf; on the other, any other kind of
sandwich filling you desire.
Firecracker Cookies.
Use your favorite cookie recipe, cut
dough in long oblong forms like fire.
cracker, use a shred of cocoanut for
the fuse and before baking sprinkle
each with tiny red candies.
Strawberry Milkshake.
Use two tablespoons of strawberry
syrup to each cup of chilled milk. To
make the strawberry syrup use one
half as much sugar as there are of
washed and prepared strawberries,
with one-fourth as much water as

wiser than it's elders, but it knows
more.
They had to guess whether south
ern Minnesota could produce wheat
and there was no corn then procur-
able which would mature in Mime
sofa.
They had to guess whether pine
stumpage, which was going begging,
would ever have market value. Small
stuff was worth nothing and there
was no such thing as pulpwood.
They had to guess whether the soft
Mesaba ores could ever be used in
blast furnaces. The best furnacemen
said they couldn't, or only in mixture
with other ores.
We know lot of things they didn't.
In the light of their knowledge and
their necessities, they sold the school
lands in the southeastern counties for
about two million dollars and gave
away what swamp lands were found
there.
In the eastern counties as far north
as Pine, the school lands fetched a
like amount, and likewise in the
southwest and in the middle western
section. The fat praire lands in the
Red River Valley brought higher
average price and larger total. Last
of all when the state began selling
agricultural land in the cutover coun-
try, it got still better average prices.
And as it turned out, some of that
land was sold on guess-a poor
guess at that.
