"HUMORGRAPHS"
(By Thomas L. Pickerill)

Just heard of the Oklahoma hus-
band who wrote a birthday card to
his wife thanking her for life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
The next time we want to draw all
of our money out of the bank we're
going to wait until the Governor and
the legislature go off on fishing
trip or something.
An optimist is a fellow who still
believes we will have beer by Christ
mas, but he doesn't say what Christ
mas.
The "old deal" might have been
better if somebody hadn't put his
foot OH the rung of our chair.
And then there's the Ohio girl who
thought bank holiday was when
the bankers went ON u picnic.

WHEN THERE'S ROAST LAMB
LEFT OVER

There isn't any reason why the
thrifty housewife should hesitate tC
serve lamb roast frequently, even il
her family is small and there is apt
to be a substantial amount of the
/ roast left. lnez S. Wilson, home
economist, points out that there are
so many delicious ways of serving
left over lamb that it's second ap-
pearance upon the table may be
even more welcome than the first.
Serve the leftover meat in indi-
vidual lamb pies for next days
dinner. Or they may appear at lun-
cheon, to the. delight of youngsters
with healthy appeties. Who wouldn't
like a pie all his own?
Individual Lamb Pies
2 cups chopped or diced lamb
cup diced potatoes
4 cup diced carrots
Salt
2 cups lamb stock or gravy
/ small onion
2 tablespoons catsup or chill
sauce
Pepper
Cube and brown the leftover
lamb with the onion in 2 table
spoons of fat. Add the vegetables
which have either been left over or
cooked first, then ,thickened stock or
gravy aud seasonings. Cook 10 min
utes or until thoroughly heated
through. Pour into individual baking
dishes or casseroles. Cover the tops
with pastry or biscuit dough and
bake i'm hot oven until the dough |
is well baked and light brown. This
will take about 10 minutes at 45O0

PERPETUAL QUESTIONS
\ Mrs. NestOr Noel

The normal child is always asking
questions unless he has been snub-
bed, time after time, for asking
! them. He comes into a wonderful
+ world. Everything about him is
new. Naturally he wants to know
what is happening and why. He
wants to "see the wheels go round.

tiOns," says tired mother. Perhaps

Wheat Allotment
Plan In County
Going Over Well
Farmers Who Retail Produce
To Get Permits From
POstOffice

Rapid strides are being made in the
organization of Montgomery county
farmers under the administration
wheat allotment plan. According to
o. W. Anderson, county agent, over
two-thirds of the county's wheat acre
age has been signed up. Montgomery
county has a total of about 10000
acres devoted to the growing of
wheat.
Mr.. Anderson expressed himself as
well pleased with the results of ths
first drive to bring county farmers
into line. So far he has met with very
few refusals in getting signatures for
the reduction of wheat acreage this
Fall. In the majority of cases he has
met with hearty cooperation in
working out the plan for the benefit
of wheat growers.
The county agent said yesterday
that those who balk at signing up and
carrying out the government con-
tract are but inviting trouble. He
pointed out the fact that America and
other, nations have agreed on reduc-
tion of wheat acreage and expressed
himself as being confident that those
who hang back will eventually be
compelled to come into line.
A second series of meetings will be
held in the various election districts
of Montgomery county shortly.
County Agent Anderson announced
this morning that those farmers who
retail produce on the nearby city
markets will be allowed under a
recent NRA ruling to continue the
practice providing a permit blank
is obtained from the nearest post
office and properly signed. These
blanks are said to be available now.
1t is understood that some of the
excess acreage not to be devoted to
the raising of wheat in the county
may be used for growing truck to
be retailed on nearby city markets,
but permit must be obtained under
the Department of Agriculture's rul-
ing. The ruling will be more fully
explained in next weeks issue of
THE SENTINEL when the details are
learned.
