For Better. Pies

Good pie-makers seem to be born,
not made-at least this appears to
be the case, as I have never been
able to receive any definite infor-
nation from the maker of an ex-
ceptionally fine pie as to how she
attained this perfection. There are
certain fundamentals in pie-making
however, which will assure a fine
products. So If you would like to
improve the quality of your pies,
here they are:
The secret" of making good,
flaky pastry appears to be in not
over-mixing the ingredients. When
the fat is added to the flour, there
is danger of over-mixing, especial
ly if the fingers are used. What
we want is particles of fat coated
with flour-not mixed so thorough
ly that they will not take up wa
ter. If cold fat is used and it is
cut in with knives or a pastry
mixer, there is little danger of do
ing this. If you do use your fingers.
do it very quickly for not more than
a minute to combine the fat and
flour for one pie.

Mans Life Saved by
AnOther's Curiosity

overwhelmingly once kill
ed cat" but this time it saved
a mans life. John Reese, driver
of bus which runs from Min
neapolis to Glenwood via Bel
grade, owes his life to the fact
that Oliver Medalen, clerk in the
Belgrade postoffice, was curious
to know where the bus driver was
when he saw a bus on Belgrade's
street. That curiosity prompted
him to look inside the bus, where
he saw Mr.. Reese on an improvis-
ed bed, his eyes wide open, but
unable to speak. He had been
overcome by monoxide gas, hav-
ing gone to sleep on a pile of
cushions while the motor was
running. Six hours later rescuers
found him and they applied artl-
fetal respiration until physician
arrived. Because Mr.. Reese had
been unable to get through to go
to Glenwood from Belgrade, he
had returned to Belgrade, the
only place where a garage had a
large enough door to permit the
bus to enter. Arriving at two in
the morning, he found no one up.
so decided to go to sleep. He will
not sleep again in the bus-at
least without first turning off. the
motor.

The man, aged 70, appeared to re-

they had received $1,000 for the

FairmOnt Raped
by Iowa Group

An ultimatum to the Iowa legiS-
lature that if the present Iowa
sales tax is continued merchants
of northern and western Iowa
will refuse to act as tax collector
was adopted last week at a meet
ing of 222 retail merchants from
80 towns in seven Iowa counties.
Fairmont businessmen and the
Fairmont Sentinel came in for a
verbal flashing because their adj
vertising attracts trade from
northern Iowa to Fairmont.
The Sentinel and Fairmont
merchants were accused of trying
to wean business from Iowa on
the strength of the sales tax.
Speakers at the meeting declared
there was sign posted near
Farimont reading Trade in Min
nesota and Save the Iowa Sales
Tax" ...... &.
More craftsmanship between
the merchants of southern Min
nesota and northern Iowa COM
munitieS was requested. 1t was
felt that the communities on the
two sides of the border should
work together better and not try
to "cut each others threats" be-
cause of petty differences arising
over the sales tax.
The ultimatum to the state gov
eminent stated that if the present
sales tax, which expires April l,
is re-enacted the merchants will
refuse to collect it and they will
try to get other merchants in cit
les and towns to do the same. The
remark was made that "Iowa
merchants will refuse to become
tax collectors and drive business
to Minnesota"
Iowa merchants said they were
already too well saturated with
taxes and they are disguised with
the whole thing.
Speaking in favor of the sales
tax was Phil Jacobsen of Mason
City, Iowa, who argued that if it
weren't for the sales tax, taxes in
Iowa would be higher. He said
it provided source of revenue
from tourists and that Iowa was
losing bet if it did not keep the
sales tax.
