suggestions on me care and con-
Selvation of footwear. Now
that shoe rationing is an accom-
plished fact, we are giving some
additional suggestions and ideas
10 assist you in the important
task of getting the utmost out
of your shoes.
Daily care and repair is the
essence of shoe conservation.
The shoe people say that a good
shoe should have so per cent of
its original cost spent on upkeep
or replacement during its life
time.
When you take off your shoes.
give them a good once-over. If
heels have begun TO run down,
have them Strengthened.
AS soon as the slightest rip
appears IN stitching. have it
mended. AS soon as half-soling
is necessary, don't procraStinate,
but have it done.
Alternating Shoes
BY alternating shoes and
wearing one pair one day. an
other the next, the life of each
pair is thus increased 10 give
the service of three pairs instead
of two. For when shoes are
stretched out OF shape by wear
ing, and the perspiration is alb
Sorbed by them, they should be
allowed 10 rest long enough TO
dry. Then shoe trees do the job
of putting the shoes back in
shape.
The shoe trees should be in
serted in the shoes after they
have been worn. Then the
wrinkles from the vamp will be
removed. the waist will be
stretched back into shape. and
the shoes will be kept looking
well and being comfortable for
a longer time.
Care Of Wet Shoes
When shoes become very wet
from rain or snow they should
be removed directly upon arriv-
ing home, placed on shoe trees
and hung up to dry so that the
air can pass through them.
Dampness is likely 10 cause
shoes TO stretch out Of shape and
10 lose a certain amount of ten
sile strength in the fabric or
leather.
Heat is another enemy, so
never place shoes near a radia-
tor or hot pipe TO dry. And do
not wear the shoes again until
they are thoroughly dry. Suede
and fabric shoes need plenty Of
busting; a firm but not hard
bristle brush, a rubber sponge
or brush or a soft cloth should
be used.
Take care of those cookbook
ing patent leather pumps or
sandals. Patent leather may be
washed with a mild soap,
cleaned with a spot of petroleum
jelly or one of the special prepa-
rations for this type of leather.
Smooth feathers should be
kept well polished with a reli-
able polish, one that inserts oils
into the skins, not one that dries
them Out

Cereals Make
Meat Ration
90 Farther
BY IDA JEAN KAHN

NOW ADAYS, WHEN the
harassed housewife has TO eX-
tend the meat, stretch the but
ter, iuggle the ration points and
exc out the budget, any help is
welcome. These nutrition tips
are purely on the practical side.
You have 10 hand over extra
points for round steak that you
buy TO have groun d - eight
against the five for hamburger.
But after the fat in the ham,
burger has been shrunk through
cooking, you might come out
even in the long run to buy the
round steak. Or you might buy
homeless chuck, which is cheaper
in price and points, and have
it ground.
Cereals Good Exfenders
In preparing the chopped
meat, vary the offenders. In
cooked oatmeal is inexpensive
and excellent. Allow three
fourths cup to a full cup TO a
pound of the ground meat.
Try one of the ready-to-eat
cereals as an eXtender. They
give a delicious flavor. Then,
occasionally, use stale bread,
ground up into crumbs and
moistened, to pad out the ground
meat.
You have to think about the
bone you get along with the
meat. Since a lamb chop con-
tains so much bone. a shoulder
veal chop is a much better buy
and for fewer points.
Whenever your meat ration
points seem skinny, don't forget
that you can use your blue
stamps for dried peas and beans
as main protein dishes.
Macaroni and Cheese
Cheese is a protein that we
were combining with an Eek
tender" before rationing was
ever thought Of. With one-half
pound of cheese, for four points.
you can make a good size dish
of macaroni and cheese.
This makes a nutritious main
dish, for there is protein in the
cheese and milk and even some
in the macaroni. Your family
will like eScalloped potatoes and
cheese-especially If you can
spare the points to put in a bit
of diced ham.
In stretching the butter with
undiluted evaporatcd milk or
with equal parts of whole milk,
water and butter. don't make
the mistake of mixing too much
at time. II doesn't keep longer
than a few days.
The stretched butter makes a
fine spread for bread. but is too
watery to use on vegetables. Be-
sides, the family will appreciate
IL more right on the table where
they can see il.
In cutting up the cubes for
the table. keep them down TO
one quarter inch per pat in
thickness. That gives every one
his quarter pound, two points a
week with a pat for each meal
except three When you serve
a poached egg on toast. leave
off the butter, and use mayon-
naise for sandwiches. Instead of
butter for vegetables, use oleo
for only five points per pound.

Food Value
Depends on
Preparation

WHEN A housewife goes TO
market. her selections, TO a
large extent, determine her
family's health. Formerly, her
shopping habits were much in
fluenced by the family's likes
with special attention TO indl-
vidual tastes. In wartime, other
considerations, such as tn
number of points in her ration
book, come first.
Some rationed foods will go
so much further than others
that their point cost is quite de-
ceptive. Canned tomatoes, for
example, will do a great deal to-
wards stretching other foods.
They are a flavorful held in us
ing up leftover meat, beans and
for use in chilli and soups.
Most expensive from a point
standpoint. are such luxury
foods as asparagus, artichokeS
and okra. They do not lend
themselves well TO incorporation
as leftoverS.

Don't Wash EGGS

Eggs need 10 be kept in
cool place but do not require as
low temperatures as meat or
milk. They may be wiped be-
fore they are put away but
should not be washed. Water
destroys the protective film that
keeps out air and odors.
Keeping fresh fruit fresh re-
quires a gentle hand. The firm
apple and thick-skinned orange
require the light touch just as
do soft berries and peaches.
When the skin is bruised, rot
comes in.
Apples must be kept at a
cool temperature or they will
soften easily.
BananaS-when you can get
them-are best kept at warmer

VICTORY GARDENERS ARE URGED
TO SPREAD HOPPER POISON HERE
Will Not Enforce
Weed Ordinance
AT Present Time

Local victory gardeners are
being urged this week to spread
graSShopper poison bait in order
to save their gardens from the
pests.
Indications are that the hop
pers are very numerous in the
city limits and action should be
taken before they reach matur-
ity.
In cooperation with this eff
fort the city council has decided
not to enforce the city weed or
dinance at the present time, II
at all, which provides for the
cutting, raking and removal OF
weeds from vacant lots within
the city.
It was stated that the weed
patches were"alive" with little
hoppers, and if the weeds we're
cut it would drive the hoppers
into the gardens to feed and
serious damage would result.
Mayor Carl Rankin has con-
suited with George w. GUSTAV
son, county extension agent, L.
R. Cool, Holly Sugar corporation
official and other individuals,
and it was agreed that the best
plan was to spread poison bait
and not to NOW the weeds.
Owners Of vacant lots are ask
ed not to complain if others
trespass On their property to
spread hopper bait.
Mr.. Gustafson stated that
poison bait can be had for the
asking.A mixing plant has been
established at the fairgrounds.
Mayor Rankin explained that
the spreading of hopper poison
was not a responsibility of the
city, but officials would cooper
ate in any way possible.

Use Tdx Stdmps
Are Due on July !

Collector of internal revenue
Lewis Penwell announced today
that auto use tax stamps in the
denomination of $500 were
placed on sale in all postoffices
of collectors of internal revenue
on Thursday, June 10. The
stamps will evidence payment OF
the tax for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /, 1913, serially
numbered, will be gummed on
the face, and will have provision
on the back for entry of the
make, model, serial number and
state license number of the We
hicle.
Mr.. Penwell said that, to
guard against loss or theft, it
has been suggested that, when
affixing the stamps, the vehicle
owner should dampen the wind
shield rather than the adhesive
side of the stamp. This method
has been recommended to keep
the stamp intact upon the wind
shield. AS an additional pre-
caution, it has been suggested
also that each motor vehicle
owner should make a record of
the serial number which ap-
pears or the use tax stamp in
the event the stamp should be-
come lost.
Every owner of a motor We
hicle which is used upon the
highways should call at his loo
al poStoffice or at the office OF
the internal revenue collector
and secure a $500 use tax stamp
and affix it to his vehicle on or
before July l., 1913, the collector
said.
1t is the desire of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue that the
use tax stamp shall be placed
on the windshield in a location
that will not be in conflict with
state requirements. MI. Penwell
stresses the fact that the use
tax law has not been repealed
and cautions motor vehicle own
ers that failure to purchase and
display the new use tax stamps
on vehicles using the pubic
highways after July /, 1943, will
subject the violators to severe
penalties imposed by law.

TELLS HOW TO
81 EGGS

Material on the preservation
of eggs has been prepared re-
Gently by Miss Harriet E. Cush-
man, state poultry specialist,
and is available through the Of
flee of the county extension SER
vice.
Now is the time to preserve
eggs, when they are plentiful
and comparatively low in price,
it was pointed out.
The two methods recommend
ed by Miss Cushman are the
water glass method and the
grease method. The former
makes use of sodium silicate.
This compound gradually fills
the pores of egg shells with a
glasslike substance. preventing
mouldino and spoiling. The Sec
ond method makes use of a spe-
ciallv prepared egg grease.
which also fills the pores of the
shell. preventing evaporation
and keeping out bacteria and
molds.
A homemade egg preservative
can take the place of a COM
mercial grease if the latter is
not available. Miss Cushman
states. The formula for the
preparation of this compound
may be secured through the ex-
tension office. A complete
pamphlet may be had on re-
n11eSt

LABOR SHORTAGE
DEVELOPS HERE

With the opening of the hay
ing season simultaneously with
the heaviest of the beet thin
ming work, a shortage of farm
labor has developed in Big Horn
county, according to a report
from the office of County Agent
George w. Gustafson.
Farmers need competent hav
help he said, but can use men
of less experience. Anyone look
ing for work should report to
the u. S. Employment office or
the county agents office. A
large number of orders for la
Dor are on file at both places.
Mr.. Gustafson pointed out
that there is not much excuse
for anyone not being employed
at present. The need for farm
help is urgent.
The farm labor campaign be-
ing conducted throughout the
nation was explained. The U. S.
Crop corps includes boys, girls,
men and women among its vol
unteer workers. Young people
are called Victory Farm Volun-
teers. The women's group is
known as the Women's Land
army and others who do not
come under either of these
headings are simply U. S. Crop
corps workers.
Anyone who wishes informa-
ton regarding these groups of
labor may consult the U. S. EN-
ployment service, Ashley Rob-
erts, supervisor. or the county
extension agent.
