Given Part in
Previous Profits

DES MONIES, Ia, Aug

t h e n executive committee
offered today to accept a 10 pei
cent wage cut providing they bt

pany's profits between July l, 1888

old controversy.
Maytag or his son, Frederick II
vice president, were asked to
meet the committee in an open
conference in Des MoineS at p

for settlement.
I'VE are ready to concede in this

SHRIMP SERVED
 IN MANY WAYS
Try Them Sauted, Cream= ed, Deep Fat Fried, and
 En Casserole

Shrimp are just as convenient for women to use in the country or in small towns as for the women liv- ing in the cities because nearly every grocer carries canned shrimp in either the wet or dry pack. Some people like to have them packed with liquid. and each housewife is the final judge of which kind is pur- chased. During the lenten season there are many times when you wish to serve fish, and shrimp are helpful in making everyday foods especially appealing. Try sauteng them in butter and then serving them with some buttered canned hominy and some scalloped toma- toes. To saute the shrimp just add them to plenty of nice butter in frying pan and shake frequently to insure their browning slightly on both sides. Of course, first remove the black line along the outside curve of the shrimp.
 Shrimp take on a festive air if they are dipped in egg and bread crumbs and fried in deep fat. Serve them with little tartar sauce, and casserole of creamed vegetables. Dreamed shrimp served over aspara- gus tips make a fancy dish. Drain the liquid from the canned aspara- gus, either white or green style pack, and arrange them in shallow bak- ing dish. Over the asparagus pour a well seasoned white sauce, to which plenty of shrimp have been added, and heat in the oven until the mixture is thoroughly heated. Serve with mixed green salad, and plenty of ripe olives. A casserole

BACON AND BEANS
 MEAL OF MONTH
Rich Brown Baked Beans and Crisp Bacon Please
 the Appetite
(By MARIE GIFFORD)

Like Cinderella, who's showier sisters kept her relegated to the kitchen, the bacon and bean dinner Cor supper) has had its charms too long hidden from the public. The most recent Meal of the Month gives this unaSSuming combination chance to come out of the kitchen and dress up to its full poSSibili- ties.
 Maybe you've never noticed the perfect flavor blend of rich oven Drowned beans and crisp, sugar cured bacon. And perhaps, too, you've never realized how complete ly satisfying such a meal can be. Best of all, it fills those two require ments of the great American theme song Something Easy to Prepare Something That Doesn't Cost Too Much"
 I can remember when a pot of baked beans took "A hours to pre- pare, what with soaking and long baking. But that was before the ad- vent of these easy canned baked beans that require only relocating. This modern variety of baked beans serve as an excellent hot dish just the way the yare, or as a founda- tion for the most fascinating cas- serole combination.
 The Meal of the Month--Bacon and Baked Bean dinner has all the charm of the old fashioned Satur- day might suppers with the added touch of the newneSs that marks all Meals of the Month.
 The beans are given new flavor and crispness with the addition of crisp green pepper and celery and a wee bit of onion. And they are baked in their own little bean pots or casseroles, gay in color and easy to handle in serving.
 The bacon needs no glorifying eff you buy first quality - branded bacon) except good cooking. Don't spoil it by over cooking it to a brittle, too brown stage. The very choicest way to cook bacon is to broil it under moderate fire until it is just crisp (about to 12 minutes per side). But if you want method that is both satisfactory and easy, try baking it. Just lay the pieces in shallow pan (with a rack under the strips to keep them up out of the fat) and let them bake in a 400 degree oven-until satis- factorily crisp. You don't have to watch this process at all, or even turn the bacon. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes and just little less than the time necessary for baking

GE. l WO Ol ClnCC dinners like this during the month will certainly reduce the meat and vegetable bills.
 A chowder or cream soup often is sufficient as the main course for dinner. But it must be a hearty one or it will not satisfy. Chow ders of all kinds are highly nour- ishing and have that staying quail ity which is necessary when soup is the main dish of the meal. Then to complete the menu, serve a substantial salad, bread of some kind and dessert. It's surprising to see how heartily a meal of this type is welcomed when served oc- caSionally as an alternate for heartier dinners.
 Here are two good winter soup recipes with menus including them:
 Corn Chowder 1-3 cup diced salt pork l small onion, diced 1 1-2 cups diced potatoes ? cups boiling water small can corn
 7 cups Scalded milk tablespoon butter 2 tablespoons green pepper, diced 6 soda crackers
 Salt and pepper.
 Try out the salt pork in a sauce pan. Add onions and cook until golden brown, stirring constantly. Parboil potatoes five minutes and drain. Add to salt pork mixture, then add remaining ingredients. Bring to boiling point, season and when potatoes are tender, thicken with the soda crackers which have been broken in pieces.
