If a recipe calls for pounds OF

be about 35 peaches or 6 quarts

Fudge cake and fruit cake are
two good choices among cakes for

wise. These firm textured cakes
can take the jolts and jars of ira

Onions differ in their storage
requirements from other root
crops. They keep well only in a
place that is cool and dry, yet not
as cold as freezing temperature.
Storage pits outdoors or cellar
storage rooms are too damp and
heated Easements too warm. An
attic or unused room generally
makes good winter quarters for
onions. The bedroom that is being
closed off to save fuel this winter
might be occupied by some bas-
kets of onions.
Onions must be mature and tho
roughly dry to keep. Slated crates
or woven baskets are both good
containers, because they permit
ventilation.
Going without breakfast is a bad
start for the day. It's been found
that workers who skip breakfast
get less done in the first working
hour than those who tuck away a
good meal before work. AS the
goes on, the hungry ones
grow less efficient. After lunch,
they do better; then they slow
up again.
Wat happens to these workers
happens to homemakers too, and
to everyone else. It's especially
true for children. A child who eats
a good breakfast has a better
chance to do we'll with studies and
games.

Hints on Storage

False floors and shelves i'm the
home vegetable storage keep the
containers and vegetables from di-
rect contact with moisture in earth
floors and walls. This helps the
vegetables to keep better.
At least so to 80 square inches
of ventilating space should be pro-
vided for each 1000 cubic feet of
storage space in the vegetable
storage room cellar.

dry. To prevent this, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture sug-
gests placing the nuts in boiling
water for few minutes, draining
and adding to the mixture in the
usual way.

POEM
POEM
Written by Mrs. Annie Pierce

Written by Mrs. Annie Pierce
during First World War
The following Red Cross poem
was written by Mrs. Annie E.
Pierce of Smyrna, and was read at
a Red Cross chain party which was
given on July 18th, 1917 by Mrs.
Mary L. Hoffecker and Miss Anna
D. Hough also of Smyrna.
What mean these many gatherings
of faithful hearts and true?
They are reminders of when our
mothers met, to sew for the
boys in blue.
Alas! the boys in blue went forth
to fight with the boys in gray,
But thank God that the blue and
the gray clasp hands in the
light of our today!
But again, the darkening war
clouds come and we would be
at a loss
To know just how, or what to do,
but for our great Red Cross.
We are praying for the dawn of
the day of peace,
When this horrible, noxious, gase-
Gus war shall cease,
And our brave boys, who have an
swered the nations call,
Shall be returned unscathed, and
not in the branches fall.
Remember, boys, in this struggle,
we are standing side by side;
Father, mother, brother, sister and
also the young bride;
Each sacrificing the very best they
have to give,
That the other, may have a fight
ing chance, to live.
We no longer sit supinely by the
hearth stone and weep,
But are always up and doing and
scarce take time to sleep!
For we know the things we are
making shall be needed very
soon,
And we trust that to our brave
ones, these things may prove
a boon.

ENOUGH BEET
LABOR FOUND
Help Needed by
Formers for HdYing.
Irrigdting. Etc.

County Extension Agent
George w. Gustafson said this
week that the outlook for labor
for beet thinning indicates that
there are enough workers for
this operation. The variation in
the time of planting mas helped
a great deal, he added.
The total of outside laborers
brought into Big Horn county
for the summer to date includes
290 Mexican nationals, 27 Ne
groes, 40 japanese and 200 do
meStic Mexican workers.
The greatest labor need at
present, Mr.. Gustafson said, will
be for haying and irrigating. All
farmers requiring help of this
nature are requested to leave
their orders with Dave Moss in
Wyola, Mr.. Clanin in Lodge
Grass or Mr.. Gustafson at the
court house in Hardin.
Meanwhile everyone who
could was urged to enroll for
farm work. It was pointed out
that an additional goal of 49,
oOO,O0O acres had been set for
American farmers.
There are many jobs on farms
which do not require previous
experience, 1t was stated, and
the benefits of out-of-door ex-
erclse and the satisfaction of
having a part in the war effort
were emphasized.
Workers will be accepted for
Week-endS or vacations as well
as full time. Anyone who can
help is asked to see the county
agent at once

PLAN TO DEFER '''-'
COPPER MINERS

Applications for occupational
deferments for workers in the
copper mining industry over 26
years of age may be made on
Form 42-A, Oscar A. Baarson,
WPB district manager, said this
week.
Deeernlents Will be granted
because of the critical shortage
OF copper supply requirements
due to the drafting Of younger
men Tor the armed services un-
DER the revised Selective Ser
vice regulations.
It IS estimated that for the
last half of 1914, the copper
supply will fail to meet the re-
quirements of the armed for
ces and the most essential CIV
ihan needs by 10000 tons, Mr..
Baarson said.

MORE ICE BOXES
FOR HOUSEWIVES

Ice boxes are being produced
at about three times the pre-
war rate and are now available
without purchase permits, says
Oscar A. Baarson, WPB district
manager.
These ice boxes will continue
to make up for the lack of
mechanical refrigerators for
household use this summer, he
states.
Household mechanical refrig-
orators which are in the hands
of manufacturers and distribu-
tors have been frozen since the
beginning of 1912 and can only
be released upon authorization
by the WPB for the most es-
sential military and public
health needs.
