PICNIC FAVORITES


Two favorites on any picnic, ct
the bali game, or in the home are
the hot dog and the hamburger.
These two sandwiches alone have
many fascinating stories concern.
ing their origin and development.
Take the hot dog. for instance.
It's ancestor, an elongated sau-
sage was invented BY butchers in
Frankfurt, Germany about 1852.
Here We got the name franlfurter.
IA form Of frankfurter was intro
.duced IN this country about 1883.
but it wasn't unfil some 10 years
later that it gained its present
form and real popularity. Il was
at the Chicago Worlds Fair that
the wiener and the bun got to-
gether. The piping hot wieners
were a great favorite with the
efewds. but they were too hot tO
hold. The vendor at first provided
Wiite gloves for the hot-dog lovers
to use while eating the ''red hots. =
This didn't prove too profitable as
the gloves had a way Of disap-
pearing. It was then that the idea
I Of placing the hot wieners between
pieces Of bread. A special, long
lbun was the obvious development
and so we got the hot-dog as we
know it today. Americans each
year consume six million wieners
But whether it is the round ham
burger, or the elongated hot-dog
square-shaped or pear-shaped, the
sandwich is still the picnicker'
lbest friend.

History Of the Sandwich
Always q Picnic FoKorite

There are almost as many diff
ferent theories about the origin Of
the sandwich as there are varie-
ties Of this great American favor
ite. Despite the numerous legends
and stories. however. there is stin
much doubt about the actual be-
ginning Of the sandwich - but ii
has been around a long time.
Earl Of Sandwich
One Of the most popular and
colorful Of these stories concerns
a romantic figure Of 18th century
England. He was the Earl Of Sand
wich, whose, name at least, the
food combination bears. The Earl
who twice was First Lord Of the
Admiralty, was a man Of many
parts and one passion-gambling.
He would sit at the gaming table
for "A hours at a time. refusing
even to take time out to eat.
During one Of these prolonged
iset-to's with Lady Luck, this Brit
Iish nobleman thought Of a way to
satisfy his growing hunger and at
the same time not miss a hand.
He ordered his servants to pre-
lpare pieces Of meat between two
pieces Of bread. In this way. he
could eat with one hand and con-
tiHue his playing.
Other gamblers we're quick to
copy the Earl and it became quite
common for them to order the
same as Sandwich. The short
aned version, sandwich, gained
in popularity and the practice oi
Ieating two pieces Of bread with q
filling, soon spread throughout the
world.
Other Theories
!, Other stories 60 back even fur
ther. Some say sandwiches in on,
form or another were common
with the ancient Babylonians, anC
that the Greeks and Romans en-
ljoyed this type food at their fabu
lous banquets.
Milford chronicle., 1954-07-30

Another theory is that the sand
wich was invented by priests Of
the pre-christian era who ate
sacred waters spread with honey.
stil another is the belief that the
sandwich was invented in 50 AID.
and was used as part Of the Pass
over observance by a Jewish teach
er named Rabbi Hillel.
Today sandwiches play a big
part in the food habits Of almost
al Americans and people else
where in the world. They are used
jas the main item on the family
monday table or at supper. Sand
witches are an integral part Of
every lunch box, and Of course
they are the most important part
Of any picnic.
No outdoor meal is complete
without a variety Of Sweetheart
sandwiches. They can be made
with cheese. meat OF any type Of
spread to suit the individual taste
OF each member Of the family.
When combined with lettuce, toma-
toes, pickles and other condiments,
they make complete meal which
win satisfy the appetite Of the
most ravenous boy or girl or adult,
The variety runs all the way
from the simple bread and a filling
sandwich to the elaborate open.

continuing trend toward cooking

WAY BACK

Picnics may seem strictly Amer
ican but actually they aren't. In
a sense. the first meal man ever
ate was a picnic-that is because
Of necessity. He had not yet
learned to seek shelter in a cave or
tent and consequently ate his meals
outdoors against a background Of
natural scenery. AND, because he
still lived in the wilderness, it was
usually no picnic.

Many Of the foods for these meals
appeal to feminine guests as wen
as men with hearty appetites.
centuries-old traditions Of cook
cry have been revived. Metal skew
ers for grilled meats and vegeta-
bles are the modern version Of the
shepherds sticks on which they
roasted their food. Crusade-bound
warriors stabbed chunks Of meats
onto their swords. Today, business
lmen and farmers, too, turn cru
saders for the outdoor meal. AS
lgourmets, they roast their shish-
kabobs squares Of prime beef and
pork-over their own cook fires.
Taste appealing combinations are
cubes Of lamb, beef or smoked
lham, served with tiny new pota-
toes, slices of tomato, or dill
pickles. Slide the meats into but
tered frankfurter buns. A pot Of
baked beans can be heated over

cooking the corn. Iced watermelon

cakes from Sweetheart Bakers are
popular desserts.
Patio Parties
More elaborate menus can be
planned for patio parties or ter
race dining, which combine both
the delight Of outdoor eating and
the charm Of a more formal meal.
Sweetheart sandwich loaves spread

the same tank for both cars and trucks
and machinery using refundable gaso-
line Many farmers estimate the fuel
consumption per acre or per hour and
the hours run or acres covered and
arrive at the approximate number of
gallons on which to claim refunds.
Just to be on the safe side most of
them subtract a few gallons, for there
is little actual proof of the gallons used
if the claim is investigated These
farmers or rancherS have a legitimate
worry over their refunds.
Meters Save Money
A gravity operated gasoline meter is
a simple remedy and more inexpensive
than one would believe The meter on
the tank measures all the gasoline
taken out but only part of it need be
accounted for. Either the highway
use gasoline or the refundable gasoline
must be measured. Simply meter
whichever is the smaller amount, book
it as to date, machine, use of the ma
chine and number of gallons. This
makes neat and permanent record of
the fuel which may be referred to at
any time. A record book is kept in a
convenient spot at the tank site. A tool
box from a discarded binder makes a
handy, weather-resiStant place.
The meter itself is simple thing.
1t costs little and once installed needs
little care. Two pipe wrenches and
a bit of thread Sealer is all it takes to
put it in. 1t is gravity driven by the
gasoline flowing through it and needs
no power other than that. The meter
has large enough capacity to feed
quickly so it doesn't slow down the task
of filling a large tractor tank. Any
bulk dealer should be able to furnish
either the meters or the name of
good meter distributing firm.
The gasoline meter allows a farmer
or rancher to get the full gallonage he
is entitled to claim refund on, without
worrying about what he would do for
a record to support his claim. He can
use it to check the fuel consumption
and efficiency of various tractors and
the implements they pull.

Gas Tax Refund
Works for You
By FRANK HAGEN
Fergus County

trouble? The only one I can recall at
this time is the gasoline or motor fuels
tax refund.
The State has a department to take
care of the collecting, but the man who
pays the tax too often let's the refund
ing slide slide right out of his
pocket. He may excuse his neglect by
thinking it is only a nickel or cents
a gallon, but the average claimant in
Montana uses us gallons of gasoline,
cents per gallon refundable, for
total refund Of SAT. In South Dakota
the average claim is $500 on over
thousand gallons. with scent per gal
lon refund
Not many of the farmers or ranc!lers
in the Northern Rocky Mountain area
can afford to toss away gasoline re-
ceipts worth around $4,000 just because
they are too old or it is hard to arrive
at an accurate number of gallons to
claim a refund on.
Refunds Are Big Business
Gasoline tax refunds are big bust
ness in these states. Take a look at
Montana in 1858. 1t collected SIS, $780,
355 in taxes on motor fuels, refunded
1913 per cent or $2,2 1000 and the
farmer got 76 per cent or 81, ZAP, AGO. "a.
The other refunds were distributed
among Is other industries, etc. In South
Dakota 80 per cent of the $14, 669, 1O4.16
collected, or $4,41O, 81 was refunded
in 1858.
The refunds have ranged up as high
as 81 per cent in 1944-45 in South Da-
kota. Idaho collected $13, 799 1897. 90 in
1858 and has refund percentage in
proportion to the other two states.
Wyoming has no gasoline tax refund
law at all, so Wyoming state official
informed me.
Laws governing the refunding of mo-
tor fuels taxes are strict about ac-
curacy and clear as to penalties for
errors due to carelessness or dishonesty
but vague about how to arrive at an
accurate number of gallons used in
refundable operations.
The inherent honesty of the Ameri-
can Farmer is evident in the figures
offered herein. In Montana for 1858
only 300, or less than per cent of the
48,746 claims had to be investigated
and only $92688 was disallowed out
of $2,250,OOO. While do not have the
figures for South Dakota or the total
refunds in Idaho, the latter state dis
allowed only $43, 972.74 in 1858.
Penalties and Fines
Montana will recognize an honest
mistake in filing a claim and request
that an amended claim be filed. If the
claim is deemed fraudulent it is re
jected in its entirety and the permit is
suspended for year. The person who
filed the claim is also liable to prose
cution.
South Dakota docks late or incorrect
claim one half and a fraudulent claim
will lose the claimant his permit fol
three years. Idaho will not honor late
permit and dishonest one will cos
the claimant his permit number fol
two years. All these states provide jai
sentences and/or fines for major of
lenses in refund cases.
All this penalty business for lateness
