HOOKED RUGS?
fFrom Mrs. J. M. M, Falls


Church,
First. may I add my vote OF
approval for RICH. have en-
joyed it since coming to this area
several years ago.
And now for my first request.
Can some person experienced in
making hooked rugs give me the
approximated number of pounds
of 100 per cent wool mill ends
needed for a rug size feet by 4
feet, also 3 feet by 5 feet. I've
never made a hooked rug before,
so any information would be help
full and appreciated. I secured
samples of mill ends from ad-
dresses sent to RICH by another
reader recently, and was delighted
with them. Now, I'm anxious to
start a rug as soon as I know
how much material to order.

CHOCOLATE CAKE.
(Fron Mrs. C. s., WashingtonJ
have been reading the RICH
for years now, clipping recipes to
put on 3x5 cards in my recipe file
box, trying many of them, sue
|cessfully most of the time. And
now my husband insists that I
send in a chocolate cake recipe
which I made a few days ago. 1t
was so delicious, stayed moist and
good. and was so appealing that
none could resist it. My mother
in-law said that it should be
called Temptation" 1t requires
~ cups sifted cake flour, l tea
spoon soda, u teaspoon salt, "a
cup sour cream, "a cup water, l
teaspoon vanilla, p cup vegetable
shortening, l cup brown sugar
firmly packed, 2 eggs unbeaten,
2 squares of unsWeetened choco-
late, melted. Stir shortening to
soften. Sift in dry ingredients.
Add brown sugar (force through
sieve if necessary to remove
lumps). Add u of liquid and the
eggs. Mix until all flour is damp
ened; then beat l minute. Add
liquid and melted
chocolate; blend, and beat min
utes longer Counting only actual
beating time). Bake in pan that
has center funnel-shaped tube.
Pan should be creased and Toured
first. Bake 40 minutes at 400 de-
grees.
For this I used a confectioner's
sugar frosting: tablespoons of
margarine; cream and gradually
add l cup of Ak sugar and few
grains of salt Add enough cream
to make mixture right consistency
for spreading CASUALLY between 112
and 2l2 tablespoons. Lastly add
u teaspoon vanilla. Generally,
so that I don't forget it, add the
vanilla before the cream goes in)
This icing also is creamy and
good. A perfect topping for this
particular cake.
When I bake a cake, start the
oven going while I assemble the
ingredients and when 1t reaches
the desired temperature I turn 1t
low just to maintain that. I find
the preheated oven gives better
results. I use an old but efficient
oven.

Damage Result
Of Fire AT School

The Hardin Volunteer fire
department was called at ap-
proximately z p. m. Monday to
a blaze in the manuel training
room at the Hardin Junior high
school building.
Little fire damage, but con-
siderable damage from smoke
resulted from the fire which
started in a cabinet containing
manuel training supplies. Cause
of the fire was unknown, &C
cording to the class instructor.
The blaze was discovered by
a group of students who were
practicing for the coming jun
ior play on another floor of the
building. The students reported
that faint smoke odor was de-
tected when they entered the
building but an investigation
failed TO reveal the source. La
ter when the smoke grew worse,
the students went to the base
ment and discovered the blaze.
Bobby Bylund, Don Collier and
Tommy Zelka, each armed with
a fire extinguisher, brought the
flame under control but 1t had
started anew when the firemen
arrived and had to be reex-
tinguiShed.

Southern Division Football Championship
Won by Hardin High School Squad
With 1875 Victory Over Central Saturday
Win Gives Bulldogs
Division Title
Third Successive Yeur

The Hardin high school
football team COPIED the south
ern divisional title for the third
successive year last Friday
night by defeating the Rams of
Central high school in Billings
by a score of IL to g..
In a hard-fought game, Coach
Luke Dyche's charges pushed
over touchdowns in the first
and last quarters while their
opponents tailed their lone
counter in the second period.
Both teams went into the final
game indicated in seasons
play this year.
Jim Haug, Hardin fullback,
tailed both counters for the
Bulldogs. while Ralph Studer,
also in the fullback slot, did
the scoring for Central.
The Rams made most of their
yardage in the first half while
the bulk of the Bulldog gains
were registered late in the con-
test.
After taking the Hardin kick
off, Studer romped to a first
down for Central and then
Tommy Altmaier. carried the
leather Is yards. However, on
the next play the Rams suffer-
ed the first of four costly pen
alties when the officials detect
ed clipping.
Haug promptly showed the
crowd his class after a Central
punt by galloping As yards, but
his efforts were nullified when
his teammates fumbled and the
Rams recovered.
Central returned the favor by
fumbling and the Bulldogs re-
covered on the Rams 10. Har-
din moved for a first down and
in two plays Haug punched
across a touchdown. The con-
version attempt failed.
After receipt of the Hardin
| kick, Central suffered an off
side penalty, but Bob Glennen,
Altmaier and Studer collaborat-
ed to pick up a first down. The
trio duplicated the feat as the
first period ended.
Upon resumption of play
Colstad, Hardin quarterback,
intercepted a Central pass and
from that point onward for
most Of the quarter, the two
teams banged away at each
| other in midfieId.
With less than a minute to
go in the period, Studer dashed
off 40 yards to the Hardin
three and with 20 seconds re-
naming crossed the goal line
for Central's lone counter, The
try for point failed.
The third period was a see
saw affair, the Bulldogs hold
ing a slight edge in yardage.
As the final period drew to
a close, Hardin backs, princi-
pally Haug and Holland, oper-
ating from a T formation
knitted through the Ram line
for consistent gains. Haug fin
ally packed the ball over from
the two despite several gallant
stands by the Central forwards
Again the conversion attempt
failed.
Regaining possession of thu
ball Central filled the air with
passes and several of Studer'i
heaves looked good for either
stable gains or tbs but hi
receivers could not hold on tx
the ball.

RppAng
OF the Rivers

Another Halloween party for
young people of Hardin is his
tory and from all indications
the affair was successful in en-
pertaining the students as well
as minimizing the occurance of
high blood pressure of citizens
brought about by the normal
disappearance of gates, garbage
cans and what have you.
We said last week we didn't
know who originated the idea
Of conducting the parties in
Hardin for the purpose of aid
ing and abetting the cause of a
sane Halloween. We have since
been enlightened.
The first party was held in
1910 when Carl Rankin was
mayor of Hardin. The initial
get-together, which was for
grade school pupils only, was so
successful that in following
years high school students were
added to the list of invited
guests. Unless someone wishes
to contest same, it appears Mr..
Rankin can claim the credit
for originating the project.
Several instances of vandal-
ism in Hardin have been re-
ported to the local police dur
ing the past few weeks, wherein
store windows and car wind
shields have been damaged.
Believed to be the work OF
Youngsters with air rifles, a
number of store windows and
automobiles have been damag-
ed, necessitating the replacing
of glass.
The police department. is
cautioning parents of children
who own air rifles that they
are responsible for their chill
dren's actions and ask their
cooperation in bringing the
yadalism to a halt.
The act may seem innocent
enough to youngsters, but the
cost of replacing windows GER
tainly isn't to be shifted at.
