Two Of the Powers Girls walked
into my office looking like the first
hint Of . robin. Pondering their
spring look for q second or two,
and pleased at my quick discern
ment, I commented. "Hmmm
new hats! Goodlooking ones, too!'
"Uh-uh, just foolers!" quipped
one.

the other.
"Retrim jobs" explained the
first. Cant you see that this is

into something new by replacing
the cord with lighter-grey gros-

side with ends clipped slant wise
At inch or so intervals on the
ribbon. the clever gal had sewed
very small grey beads about the
color of the hat. An eye-catching
combination Of srnartness and
femininity!
II you could have seen those

Corn Cheese Strjps

Corn cheese strips make a de-
lightful variation in the usual
bread lineup. They are especially
popular in the South, where cooks
make them to perfection.
Cook 11a cups of white corn
meal with ~ cups of sour milk,
2 tablespoons Of shortening, and
/ teaspoon Of salt in the top part
OF a double boiler. About 20 min
utes will do. Take off the heat,
let cool slightly and then add 2
eggs, well beaten. Also add "a
teaspoon Of soda which has been
dissolved in / tablespoon Of cold
water. Mix all well. Stir in u
cup Of adry grated cheese, and
spread mixture thin on oiled
baking sheets. Bake for 20 min
utes in a moderately hot oven
just until the edges start to brown.
Remove from the oven, cut into
inch-wide strips and cut these
g. inches long. Take from pan,
let cool and brush with butter.
Then toast brown before serving.

If you lucky enough to find
real old-fashioned ham instead
of all these modern pre-cooked,
tenderized, etc.. ones, I suggest
you pounce upon it. prepare it this
way, with mustard sauce, and
enjoy q taste treat impossible
with the processed variety. This
is dish that will endear you to
any man-it is old-time enough
to be reminiscent of the dishes
mother used to make"
Soak the ham m cold water
over night, and next morning
drain it, put it in boiling water to
cover, and toss in onions, a
couple Of carrots. a couple of bay
leaves, some celery, and Glove
of garlic. Bring to boil, then
simmer for 20 minutes to the
pound. Use the pot liquor as the
basis for a swell pea or bean soup.
For the sauce, chop up 2 tea
spoons of fresh tarragon-you can
get the little plants at an herb hot
house-and put it in the saucepan
with 2 tablespoons Of white vine
gar and a bottle of very dry white
wine. Cook until the wine is re-
duced to one half, and then add
l quart of chicken broth and cook
until that is reduced to one half,
too. You should now have about
3 cups of the liquid. Then finish
off the sauce with l tablespoon
of capers, l tablespoon Of finely
chopped gherkins, and l teaspoon
each of chopped chervil and
thyme. Blend in smoothly l table,
spoon or a little more of butter,
plus l lavish teaspoon of very hot
French mustard.
Meantime, the ham has been
cooling in its liquor. Skin it, and
if the fat is very thick pare off
some of it. Put it on rack in a
roasting pan in moderately hot
oven for u hour, basting it with
the sauce to glaze it prettily.
When done, serve on a hot platter
garnished with small rosy baked
apples stuffed with mincemeat.
A menu which would feature
such a ham might start with oys-
ter on the half shell, followed by
a clear consomme with balls of
chilled avocado floating in its
amber depths. The vegetables
accompanying the ham would be
green peas, puree of chestnuts,
and perhaps braised celery.

Verocity
By Angelo Potri

There are few hard and fast
laws that apply to child rearing,
but there are a few. These are
based on principles Of behavior
that have been unquestioned down
the centuries. One of them is
concerned with children telling
the truth about their misdeeds.
We want children to learn to
tell the truth no matter what
comes Of it. That is the ideal
we all profess to follow. But
children are not born brave and
truthful under stress. That takes
lifetime of trying and they
have lived but a few years and
can have none Of the seasoned
strength of spirit that unfailing
truthfulness demands. We must
be gentle and lead them to that
height of power.
With that in mind we are
careful to set the stage for truth
telling by winning the children's
confidence. If we threaten them,
if they are in fear of us. they will,
in self-defense, try to cover their
misdeed with a lie. We must try
to prevent that by avoiding any
thing that might provoke it. No
harsh tone, no threatening
scowls, no anger must show in
our manner Of tone. Fear is the
father and the mother of all lies.
When a child does what he
should not do. never ask, Did
you do that?" You know he did
it. Start from there. Let him
see you know he did it and that
it was a mistake, but don't scare
him. Let your attitude be sad
but not threatening. "It's too bad
you did this. What made you
feel that 1t was right? Tell me
about It," Be sympathetic and
understanding.
Misdeeds cannot be reasoned
away. If children had the power
to reason they would make fewer
mistakes. Don't talk and talk.
Let him talk and II he cannot,
let him be silent. Don't put him
in a position where he must lie
to defend himself.
Isn't he to be punished for
misdeeds? OF course. Every
misdeed carries its own punish
ment. Disapproval is punish
ment enough for some children.
In any case the punishment that
teaches child must grow out of
the mistake. If he plays in for
hidden mud, he should take the
consequences Of the mud, If at
all possible, by cleaning his
clothes. Being deprived Of al
promised visit to grandmother
will not serve. The two ideas are
not related and will not be in
the child's mind. The 1nconven-
ience Of having to clean rubbers,
or shoes. wash hands and face,
maybe rinse play clothes, will be
associated with mud and act as
a check for next time. Maybe.
Experiences have to be repeated
to register permanently.
But when he does wrong, don't
ask him. Tell him.

245,000 board feet of timber

Agricultural Achievement Day.

Holmes Family Wins
Live-At-Home
Contest In Memphis
Lef|ores, MiIeston
Negro Couple
Are Awarded Prize

Caesar and Martha Leflore, well
known negro family near Miles
ton, were declared winners for the
state of Mississippi in the Live
At-Home Contest recently spon-
sored by the Commercial Appeal.
Announcement was m a d e
at a rally held in the Shelby Coun-
ty Fair building in Memphis, Ten
nessee. The contest was open to
all negro farmers in Mississippi,
Arkansas, Missouri and Tennes-
see.
The Leflores, a family of six, re-
port that they spent only $4,000
for food that could not be grown
on the farm during 1850. They
firmly believe that if they can
grow the food there is no need
to spend money for the food.
Along with the growing of food
the Leflores grew three cash
crops. They received 81, 1890
from II bales of cotton; $4,000
from 290 bushels of soybeans;
500 from surplus corn that was
not needed for feeding his l mule
(most of his farming is done by
tractors), % cows, 8 hogs and 143
hens, turkeys, and geese. Their
income was also supplemented

Contributions Sought
To Restore Church

A project for the restoration of
the Franklin Presbyterian Church
has been undertaken and contri-
buttons are being sought for this
purpose. The Franklin church has
only a few members, but it is felt
that it should be preserved for its
historical interest.
Located seven miles out on the
Pickens road, this church is prob
ably 100 years old. 1t was stand
ing during the Civil War and still
has bullet holes in its walls. Near
by, it is said that II Yankee SOL
diers are buried who came over
from Vicksburg during the war
on a raiding trip. The Franklin
church is probably the oldest
standing church in Holmes coun-
ty.
Contributions for the restoration
and preservation of the church
should be directed to Rev. Hayes
Clark, 101 Church St., Lexington
1t is estimated that $1,000 will be
needed. $3.50 has already been
contributed and more money has
been promised.

with 1897 7 received from sale of
cows, hogs, geese, turkeys and
chickens and eggs.
The prize for winning the state
contest was $4,000.
Nine years ago the Leflores were
share troopers in Yazoo county.
Through the F. H. A. they ac-
quired a farm a mile south of
Mileston so they could farm and
also be near a good school for
their four children.

VETERANS

Veterans organizations are con-
tinually raising money to assist
disabled veterans and their de-
pendents and to carry on many
other worthy enterprises. One of
the most unusual methods of
raising money has been adopted
for many years by the Disabled
American Veterans. Each year
this organization sends to thirty
million motorists a miniature Ii
cense tag for use on key rings.
The tags are manufactured by
disabled veterans. The motorists
return donations to the ID. A. v.
This money is used to maintain
free rehabilitation services for
disabled veterans and their de-
pendents.
The organization has the larg-
est staff of national service Of
ficers of any veterans organiza-
ton.
If a motorist loses his keys,
they are mailed collect to the
d. A. V. national headquarters in
Cincinnati. More than five thou
sand keys are returned to their
owners each month.

and wages by voluntary agree
ment; by selective controls on
certain items down to the retail
level: or by general price and
wage controls on all items. He
could use any or all of these
methods at any time. The bill
also authorizes the rationing of
consumer items. There is a pro-
vision against boarding and black
market operations.
The bill goes considerably
further than the president re-
quested, but there was almost a
unanimous feeling that standby
powers should be available. The
house bin would give the presi-
dent control over credit in the
building and purchasing of new
construction, but would not give
him control over property al
ready built.
There was section in the bill
which was voted out in the
house. This section would give
control over commodity market
speculation and, in my opinion,
should have remained in the bill.
Under the terms of this section,
legitimate hedging on the grain
market would have been allowed
as this is very essential to the
maintenance of stable prices.
However, it seems very unfair to
me that young men are drafted
and others held in the service
after their terms of enlistment
have expired, while at the same
time we place no controls over
those who gamble and speculate
in the grain market.
