day he was on the job recently. It
seemed, that his girl friend was
calling him on an urgent matter
and finally. through the personnel
office, got his branch phone num-
ber, which phone was answered
in the supervisors office, next door
and o button pressed when the
call was for someone on the other
phone. The girls opening remark
was, els this Mr.. Blanks officer
The supervisor said, "No, this is
Mr.. Double Blanks office" and
then as an after-thought said,
"JuSt a minute, I'll see If Mr..
Blank works in the other ROOM.
While the supervisor was pressing
the required button the girl NUT
tered: "The darn dummy" After
she had been connected with the
boy-friend and had talked with
him for awhile the chief sent for
the latter and gazing sternly in his
eye, said: "Mr. Blank, you tell your

PEPPER POSSIBILITIES

Lately we've discovered ways a'plenty to tighten your Lenten problem. First thing you need to do is branch out and include all sorts of new foods in your main course dishes. You'll soon find that lots of fare you always looked on as side dishes and accompaniments can be enlarged and embellished to make mighty tasty main course eating. For instance, GREEN PEP PIERS STUFFED WITH RICE are a grand garnish around a roast. But they have main course possi- bilities, too, when you step up the flavor with lusty dash of Chili Sauce and half cupful of nut meats. Try platterful this way tonight:
 Cut
 6 medium sized green peppers in
 halves, lengthwise, then remove
 seeds and parboil 3 minutes. Combine and miS thoroughly 2 cupfuls cooked rice, salted 2 tablespoonfuls butter
 14 cupful chopped celery
 14 cupful Chili Sauce
 F cupful chopped nut meats A cupful water.
 Fill pepper cases with this mix ture. Place in shallow baking pan, then pour in water to 14 inch in depth. Bake in a moderate oven (350'F.) about 40 minutes, or until peppers are tender.

Among the reasons for it's popu- larity we can place first its uni versally good taste which may be had in such variety of nice fiavors. Then second is the fact that it is so easily prepared, and can be served at all times. Served plain, gelatin is good to eat, but when it is enhanced with the ad- dition of fruit it becomes delicious. Illustrated here is peach and banana mold that requires very little extra effort to make and it does look and taste so good. The lime mixes nicely with the fruit to give new taste thrill. Try this recipe today:
 Layered Peach and Banana Mold
 1 package lime-f1avored gelatin
 l pint hot water
 F cup canned sliced peaches
 l banana, sliced
 Dissolve gelatin in hot water Arrange sliced peaches on bottom of mold. Pour gelatin, being care ful not to disarrange peaches. Add banana. Chill until firm. Un- mold. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired. Serves six.

whole and dressed simply with melted or brown butter, or with Hollandaise.
 Those are very good methods of preparing them and the simplest ones. But you will also enjoy these foreign recipes which sometimes use the whole artichokes, again only the bottoms.
 Stuffed ArtichOkes BarigOule
 Stuffed artichokes are trimmed and blanched, the center of the chokes removed and the cavity filled with preparation of mixed ccopped ham and herbs. They are then praised in white wine and dressed with a brown sauce made with the cooking liquor and Drowned flour.
 Small artichokes may be trimmed and blanched, the chokeS removed and the centers filled with a mix ture of bread crumbs. chopped mint, garlic, salt and pepper, cook them in butter in frying pan until crisp, adding little water at the last moment.
 The bottoms of small artichokeS may be stuffed with sausage meat, covered with pastry and cooked in the oven for about an hour and a half.
 Or trim and blanch small arti- chokes and cut the tips off so that heads are three-fourths their height. Toss them in hot oil or butter, place new peas, lettuces and butter, season with salt and pepper and cook in their own juice.
 Artichokes Paysanne
 Cut in quarters, blanche, toss in a pan with diced bacon, onions and cooked potatoes sliced or in dice. Cover with white consomme or white stock, add bunch of mixed herbs, and cook quickly un- til the liquid is nearly dry.

Pleasing Man
BY CHLOE JAMESON

So long as they are children we know that boys adore bananas, and see that they have them in many different ways. But once man. hood is reached, ill some mysteri- ous way this favorite fruit prac- tically disappears from the mans daily menus. Bananas are some times served sliced with cream as a beginning for breakfast; but of the countless other good ways in which they can be used we are scarcely conscious.
 Big boys like bananas just as well as they did when they were small. If now they want them in more sophisticated, grown-up reel pes, what matter? There are plen- ty of excellent banana recipes to be had. Among them these two which are rather different and economical, too:
 Baked Bananas au Gratin
 Remove skins from three firm ripe bananas, slice fruit in halves lengthWise; arrange ill a buttered baking pan; sprinkle with two tablespoons grated American cheese mixed with two tablespoons fine buttered bread crumbs; sprinkle with paprika, dot with more but ter. bake in the oven until ba- nanas are done and crumbs nicely Drowned. Serve with grilled ham and fried or grilled fresh tomatoes.
 Sweet Potatoes With Bananas
 Slice four cooked sweet potatoes and two ripe bananas. In a but tered casserole arrange a layer of potatoes; dot with butter, sprinkle very slightly with salt; add layer of bananas, little butter, then more potatoes and bananas until all are used. Pour in milk until it can be seen at the sides of the dish; sprinkle with buttered crumbs and dash of paprika. Bake covered in a hot oven for

 Japanese Artichokes
 The preparation for this variety is more limited and quite differ ent. The artichokes are blanched in water to which a little carbon ate of soda is added, then washed and cooked until tender. They may be dipped in batter and fried in hot deep fat; or tossed in but ter and cream added; or thickened with cream sauce, shaped into croquettes, dipped in egg and crumbs and fried in deep fat.

Dishes For Tiny Tots

When baby learns to walk, moth CTS must reconcile themselves to extra hours of vigilant watching but fortunately modern science has halved the burden of toddler care by emancipating mothers from daily bouts with the food chopper. For youngsters between one and four, doctors usually prescribe a menu change from strained foods to chopped foods as the intermediate step toward adult diet. This prog ress used to mean endless drudgery for conscientious parents, but today, uniform chopped foods are available in cans just as strained baby foods are.
 Among the chopped foods in cans which are being featured for tod- dlerS' diet are carrots, spinach, beets, green beans, prunes and ap- pie sauce. A vegetable soup with a wheat embryo content as well as chopped vegetables and liver soup are now toddler favorites that come in cans.
 With the classic baked potato and the addition of certain strained baby foods such as peas, tomatoes and apricots which do not adapt them selves to the intermediary chopped form, the young citizens between one and four are assured of wide ly varied menu and emancipated mothers have extra hours to catch up on beauty treatments or read ing.
 Toddler's Baked Potato
 Scrub the potato with brush. Cut the ends to allow the escape of steam when baking. Bake in a hot oven (45O degrees FD about forty-five minutes, or until mealy, or else bake in a covered baker on top of the stove. When done squeeze the potato in a cloth until it bursts open to allow steam to escape.
 Toddler's Custard
 3-4 cup sweetened condensed milk
 21-4 cups hot water.
 3 eggs.
 IA teaspoon salt
 Blend sweetened condensed milk with hot water, and pour gradually over slightly beaten eggs. Add salt. Pour in a baking pan or in custard cups. Sprinkle with nutmeg, place in a pan filled with hot water to depth of custard. Bake in a slow oven (325 degrees F) about 40 min utes or until custard is set. A knife blade inserted will come out cleQn when custard is done. Serve G.

ing dish to set before a famished family. Or, if you'd like to try serving them new way, blend your Beans New Orleans style with crisp slivers of onion and pepper and cupful of tart tomatoes. A little leftover whole kernel corn could be tucked in, too, if you have some on hand. Then add season. ings for savor and pop in the oven. It's simple-and what's more-it's thrifty. Here's how it's done: Fry
 1 medium sized green pepper, fne-
 ly chopped
 1 medium sized onion, finely
 chopped
 In-
 2 tablespoonfuls fat until tender. Place c layer of- 1 25-oz. can Oven-Baked Beans,
 Vegetarian Style, in a greased
 casserole, then sprinkle with the
 green pepper and onion. Repeat layers, then pour 1 cupful canned or leftover stewed
 tomatoes over all, sprinkling
 lightly with salt and sugar.
 Bake in a hot oven (425oF.) about 30 minutes or until the to- matoes thicken.

Mormon rickets
Already Moving
Formers Warned of EarlY
Danger. Help Offered BY
County And State

The cricket situation in Big
Horn County as yet cannot be
fully estimated. However, in a
number of localities, crickets
are showing up in larger num-
bers than ever before. The
rangelands and hilly sections
seem to have the greatest am
cunt of infestation, according
to H. C.. Heckenlively, county
supervisor of cricket control
work.
Farmers in the dry land as
we'll as the irrigated crop areas
should not be misled into be-
lieving that they will, not be
bothered with crickets, accord
ing to Mr. Heckenlively, fo-
with range lands infested SO
heavily, and the crickets reach
ing the stage where they have
begun to travel, it would be well
to keep a sharp lookout for
bands which will move into the
crop lands.
The crickets at this time and
for the next month are so small
that control is a comparatively
small item. Where the migrat-
ing bands are formed, they
can be wiped out with little eff
fort. It would. therefore, be
to each farmers advantage to
get busy now.
With the help of farmers in
the oiling of the Big Horn can
al, county and state men have
eradicated a band of millions
of small cricketS. busting in
this area has also had excellent
results. If this band had been
left to reach maturity, the
ranchers up and down the
Big Horn would have undoubt-
edly suffered great losses.
Big Horn county has a sup
ply of dust on hand free to
anyone who needs it. Plenty of
hand busters are available, and
tin will be given out at an early
date for use where the infes-
tation is heavy enough to JUS
tify it's use in two or three mile
lengths. A number of power
busters have been sold. How
ever, there are a few left for
sale at the county fair grounds.
With everything to gain and
nothing to lose other than the
effort required to spread the
dust, it would seem that every
farmer who has a crop in one
of the infested areas would feel
justified in helping to save his
own crops and those of his
neighhorS from these pests, &C
cording to those in charge OF
insect control.
Any help that can be given
to any individual or community
by Big Horn county and the
state of Montana can be had
for the asking.
