Now Arkansas, what are you
going to do abut this son of the
soil who has paid in full price;
who has prepared himself from an
educational standpoint, heard the
call of God in youth, and needed
it, like Samuel of old?
DR.. Blakely accepted it like

in Gods Divinity School, and on

The Chef
Says

Assuredly you will be having wa
termelon at one time or another
over the holiday-try to save the
rind to make into pickles, for there
lis nothing better on the preserve
shelf than a watermelon pickle.
Here's my Grandma's recipe-and
lit was always a blue-ribbon winner
Iat any church fair! It requires
soaking overnight, which means you
can prepare the rind as soon as the
melon has been eaten and still not
have to work on it really until the
next day.
Remove all the pink meat and the
green skin from the rind.
Cut in 1-inch squares and mea-
sure, From / good-sized melon you
should get about 1 quarts. Make a
brine by adding u cup of salt to
3 quarts Of cold water and pour it
over the prepared rind. Let stand
overnight, then drain and rinse
with fresh cold water.
Cover with more fresh cold water
and bring to q boil. Let cook for 10
minutes and then drain.
Combine ~ quarts Of boiling wa
ter with 3 cups vinegar, 6 cups su-
gar, 8 tablespoons whole allspice, a
few whole cloves, 5 sticks Of CHINA
mon and the peel Of a lemon, cut
in strips. Bring this mixture to a
boil and then add the cubes of
melon. Boil very gently-almost
simmer-until the melon cubes are
clear and transparent. This should
take about three-quarters of an
hour. Turn into hot, sterilized jars
and seal Immediately.

MILDEW FROM FLOORS.
From Mrs. r. T. McC,
Report to the Housewife

that as beans mature in the garden
vitamin content begins to fall. So
pick and use as soon as the beans
are ripe. &. Did you know that meat
packers have been walking arm
in-arm" with doctors since before
the turn of the century? It's fact;
those small bottles of medicine you
buy on a doctors prescription are,
in many instances, product OF
meat industry research. In 1886 a
large meat packer began making
pepsin; in 1892 the usefulness Of
thyroid was discovered; the medic
inal property Of liver extract was
discovered In 1927. A cocktail

blend of sharp, aged cheddar cheese
with bits Of crisp, broiled bacon. Try
it with the new whole wheat "thins'
for your next snack tray. You
know how pesky those egg stains are
on freshly polished silver. Here's q
tip to keep the spoons and forks
discolored by the breakfast eggs
bright and shining: Have an alu-
minum cup Of hot water containing
soda beside the dishpan when doing
the breakfast dishes. Drop the tar
rished silver into it. BY the time
the dishes are done the silver is all
bright and clean again. Treat
your refrigerator kindly, watch the
frost line carefully during hot, hu-
mid days and defrost before the &C
cumulation is = quarter Of IN inch
thick. Thick frost slows down the
cooling Of foods and may send the
temperature Of the food-storage
compartment up even though the
refrigerating system Is working
harder than 1t does normally.

find, too, that cervelat keeps longer

garlic: bologna is big brother OF

tint on it. The set have Is No. 1905,
eight different co1ors and extra
bottles for mixing paints and direc-
tionS on how to use. I have several
different size stiff brushes and soft
brushes for tiny lines. I make up
my own designs or stencils. I use
small butter dishes to mix the colorS
in, but I use these small dishes for
other paints, too. If you don't want
to buy them just take any fiat
bottom plate or dish, turn upside
down, and mix your colors on that.
After you finish, clean with turpen-
tine and wash with soap and water.
Doesn't hurt the dishes, besides it's
on the underneath side anyway.
I'd try painting on something else
until you get the feel Of the paints
before tried it on a blouse. Curtains,
table or luncheon cloths, pillows,
scarfs of all kinds, touching up faded
spots on draperies, hats, clothing
and other articles. Chair covers,
pictures, etc. I've used crayon and
oil paints, but textile paints are
permanent and the most satisfactory.
May make a suggestion to par
ents who can't get out very much?
A hobby worked together Is lot
Of fun and never a dull moment.
Talking pictures is one which we
do together. We have baby sitter
every so often or swap a night with
a neighbor. On week ends If there's
picture we think OUR small son
would enjoy we drive to the open-air
theater. We take q thermos jug or
bottle with something to drink, a
box Of candy, potato chips, or box
of cookies, etc.
We try to take In all outdoor
sports-boat, aeroplane, motorcycle,
auto races or anything else. We
always take something to eat and
drink when we go out. This keeps
your youngsters satisfied and gives
them food that doesn't hurt them.
On bad days or cold weather we
have all kinds of hobbies we work
at. When I was small, starting at
the age of 8, had four years OF
fine arts. Since then I've picked
up hobbies on my own and with
help from books at the library,
among my interests how to wood
burn and paint the wood, carving,
leather work, textile painting, photo
tinting. (My husband taught me
how to take, develop and print
photos.) I love to paint miniatures
