WINTER STILL
HAPPENS HERE

A temperature drop to Is
degrees below zero early this
morning followed Mondays
storm to pile up proof that
winter can happen here.
Redwood county residents
are paying for the mild
weather enjoyed up to this
week. but a rising barometer
here indicates that no more
billiards., at least, are immi-
nent. The forecast for Friday is
fair and colder.
Saturday seven inches of snow
fell. Sunday was a fair white
Christmas with temperature re-
cordings of "a degrees above zero
for the high and five above for
low.
In Mondays blizzard slightly
less than an inch of snow fell, but
great sheets of white, containing
considerable black grit swept
through the air.
Tuesdays high, recorded by N.
B. Andersen, weather man, was
10 degrees above and the mer-
curry plunked to IL below that
day. Wednesdays high was %
above; low, six below.
Caution Saves Life
Extreme caution in driving and
avoiding exposure probably ac-
counted for the fact that no major
accidents or other tragedies grew
out of the blizzard which whirled
over Redwood county Monday.
A thick curtain of sharply driv-
en- snow swirled over highways,
forcing many residents, returning
from holiday trips, to take shelf,

hotels in other communities.

Entered With Ease
By Two Small BOYS

San Francisco-(P = The new
armor plated and heavily guard
ed United States mint was raided
last night by two l5-year- boys
who got in by scaling a wall and
raising an unlocked window.
There was nothing to it," poll
ice quoted the two orphans, "We
found the windows nearest the
ground barred SO we climbed to
the second story and crept around
a ledge until we found window
partly open and went in. 1t was
easy. We didn't mean any harm.
1t was all in fun"
Bedlam broke out in the huge
fortress of granite and steel, lights
went on, bells sounded and angry
voiced men with machine guns
appeared. The place was believ-
ed impenetrable.

But Work Goes On

boom of expanding, cracking ice
on Lake of the Woods sounded
like presidential salute today
as the temperature skidded to As
degrees below zero in this Cana

very excited. A lot of folks got
very busy. Woodsmen, needing
bitter cold to tighten swamps to
begin hauling products. were out
at the break of day. Dick Willes,
state forest ranger, took snow4
shoe crew out on routine winter

where sub-zero temperatures in

Eggs are one of our favorite and most important foods and an ex- cellent economizer and energizer as well. Here are few hints about how to cook some simple egg dishes.
 Before cooking them, however, the smart housewife should be reminded of the wonderful values in Grade B eggs Ca parallel to Grade B milk in quality), of the abundance of good edible eggs on the market and of the importance of using eggs H. berally in the daily menu.
 An important thing to remember in handling eggs is that they must be kept in a refrigerator and should not be subjected for long periods to room temperature. It's wise, how ever, to take eggs out of the refrl- gerator a few minutes before using so that they reach room tempera- ture before cooking, and the yolk thus remains intact.
 In simple egg cookery there are few basic laws that must be ob- served if the sensitive egg is not to be too hard boiled, or underdone, or watery, or a flat, fallen and leaden omlette.
 Eggs must not be cooked at too high temperature or for too long time. Tn boiling eggs, the best method is to allow the water to simmer and to put the egg in gent ly so that it does not crack. Boiling water will not produce firm, tender egg meat.

Your Table
 Manners

When salad is served without be- ing mixed with dressing, and the mayonnaise or French dressing is passed separately for the individual to help himself mayonnalse should be placed on the center of the salad, as though it were gar- nish, not pitched onto all parts of the salad in little dabs shaken at intervals from the spoon. Take parts of the top dressing with the fork, when taking up portions of the salad, much as you would take bits of tartar sauce with each bite of fillet of sole.
 French dressing that is served separately should be stirred with the spoon, if necessary, and dipped or poured carefully over the salad, as nearly as possible giving the greens an even coating and using only enough for this purpose. Too much French dressing appears to drown a nice crisp salad, rAakes it unappetizing and difficult to eat without dripping and spattering of the tablecloth.

A typical method of frying eggs is to drop them in pan and leave them there. Not infrequently 8 minor surgical operation is then required to scrape them loose. Fried eggs need attention every moment of their cooking and the pan should be so well buttered that the eggs, when cooked, will slide off easily.
 It is as easy to scramble eggs as it is hard to unscramble them. The art is knowing what not to do. First, do not overcook. Second, do not add much liquid. If you like scrambled eggs with milk or cream, be care full not to add so much as to make the dish watery.
 The secret of omlette is also not to overcook. Before the top of the open omelette has, set roll the omelette and remove it from the heat. The inside will jell from the
