Picnic Eats

A primitive picnic meal is COM
posed of potatoes and meat, cook
ed without utensils, at the picnic
fire. Build fire and let it burn
to Goals. Place scrubbed potatoes
on the Goals and cover with two
inches of moist earth. Build an
other fire. on top of this and let
the potatoes cook under it for an
hour.
Cut your meat which may be
flank steak, pork chops, mutton,
lamb, liver or bacon into individ-
ual servings. Get a green stick
about as big around as your little
finger and eighteen inches long.
Run this through the center of the
pieces of meat arranging them
close together if you wish the
meat cooked lean, or farther apart
if you prefer it more rare. When
you have bed of Goals, jab one
end of the stick into the ground at
an angle to the fire and let the
meat sizzle until it is brown, turn
ing occasionally that it may cook
evenly. With the meat and pota-
toes, balanced meal might de-
mand fresh fruit, green onions,
milk or cocoa.

Aid the Needy

ira cans of each variety to give to
destitute families next winter.

do not deserve this help, but we
cannot let the children go under

Lime in Kettles

The deposit of lime on the in
side of your teakettle is caused by
the heating Of hard water, which
separates the lime and makes ii
collect on the kettle. It does no
harm, but slows up the process of
heating the water in your kettle.
It may be removed by two differ
ent methods.
If the kettle is aluminium or iron
heat it cautiously when empty. The
expanding of the metal of the ket-
tie will crack the lime deposit,
which may then be removed.
The deposit may also be removed
by dissolving it with acids. A
light deposit may be dissolved by
allowing vinegar to stand in the
kettle. A little salt added will has
ten the trick.
A heavy deposit requires the
use of a stronger acid, such as
muriatic, but one must use it very
weak, and handle it with care or
it will dissolve the metal of the
kettle as well as the lime deposit.
Buy thirty-three percent solu-
ton of muriatic acid and dilute
with four to nine times as much
water. Pour about two cupfuls of
this solution into the kettle and
shake it around. When a spot of
metal appears, showing that the
lime covering has been dissolved,
try to keep the acid away from
this spot.

RURAL POPULATION

Conditions have been HARD
IN farming for years. But
the farmers do not quit. Some
take jobs in cities and towns
If they can get them, but as
a whole, the farming popula-
ton stays put. Comments
the Milford Chronicle:
eff a business man makes
no money, he has a way of
cutting down on his opera
tions or quitting. But if the
farmer makes no money here
IN Delaware he just tightens
up his belt, and lives more on
the products of his land. Mil
lions of American farmers
never see much cash. But
somehow they manage to ex-
ist, and usually look healthier
than the city folks.
$50 now they are getting
ready for the coming spring
time, mending up the broken
tools and planning the crops
to be trusted to natures haz-
ards. Farmers may be growl-
ers, but they are not quit {
ters. They cling to their I
acres with a tenacity worthy t
Of our rugged ancestors, and !
some day the sun is going to
shine brighter for them"

MEETING OF TOWN COUNCIL.
Delegation of Fishermen Wait on
Council Advocating Paying License


Council Advocating Paying License
Fish dealers, having established
stands in Smyrna, awaited upon
Smyrna Town Council FRIDAY
night advocating the payment of a
license for the right to sell fish in
the corporate limits of Smyrna.
The town dealers were perfectly
willing to pay a tax for the right
10 do business in Smyrna and
rather welcome the protection to
shut off outside competition unless
said outsiders who peddle from
wagons are willing to pay a license
also. Smyrna Town Council took
it under advisement but were not
ready to pass upon it until the cit
lzens Of Smyrna were given the
right to be heard. Some members
Of Council felt it might be a hard
ship to local fishermen, especially
those living at Smyrna Landing
who liked to have a market for
their catch when opportunity pre-
sented itself. The passing of
resolution establishing a tax was
held over for another meeting.
Following the Fish License discus
sion, there was talk Of the PROPOSE
tion to run the town water main
out to the new State Welfare
Home site. The street committee, /
George w. Turner, chairman, re-
ported they had had a conference |
with State Highway Department |
officials and went over two pro-
posed routes, one over the meadow
from the water works to and under
the DUPONT Boulevard and the 9TH
er, main run out Mill street to
Main Street and out Main Street
on the west side Of the Boulevard
to the Welfare Home site. No
definite discussion was arrived at
until matters could be worked out
to the satisfaction of all concern
ed. 1t was hoped to begin work
soon so as to have the water avail
able when the building of roads to
and within the grounds was ready
to be started as well as the build
ing of foundations
