However, S took a chance and it 'worked out all right, Instead of :sapper I had them for dinner next, day. So now that little job is over— and the wheat'turned 'out well, con- sidering the drought. After the wheat was threshed, any men turned their attention to'.eecon1-camp hay— tatting, coiling and hauling it into the barn Anti it was 'good hay — thanks to recent gains. Our oats and barley ,are still out in the field because every time ^.the men talk about drawing in, ;it .either rains or there is a 'threshing to go to. To- day, for instance, the weather is fine—but Bob is away to a thresh- ing. Tomorrow there will he .no threshing—so 11 suppose it will rain. Ah, mei The joys of farming . the uncertainty) But we :are sure of one thing regarding tomor- row—it's going to be HOT.. Ninety here .yesterday --and the probe are the same for today—hut around Moose Jaw it was 107a 'You have to know ,the shadeless ;prairie to realize what that means. A little while .agq I was :alone one of our fences picking .choke- cherries. There was .a nice 'breeze blowing from the west, and of course 1 was .on the shady side of the fence. It wee really quite ;pleas- ant and I could stat help thimking what a difference it would make to prairie farm laatd . what a blessed relief ... if there was even • as much shade as one gets Bowe here from an ordinary overgrown -w7 es fence brush. So today every time I feel inclined to grumble about the heat, I ant going to remember in- stead ]tow niucla worse it would be on the treeless scorching prairie. Remembering that maybe I shall feel more inclined to go on with any chokecherry jelly. This is my first attempt at making it. Maybe I wouldn't be doing it now but my sister-in-law front Mattawa said, 'What I would do if 1 were here with. all those ,chokecherries around." S }tate to think we may be missing ,out on something so I thought I could at least give the jelly a try— using half apple and half choke- cherry. But 1 wish I could trade these chokecherries for the blue- berries that :grow in the Mattawa district. The high roost of living makes one keel inclined to try any- thiag these days if it results in a slight reduction in grocery bills. And eggs.., .. S am sorry for housewives who have to buy •eggs. Bet yet, believe me, if you were buying the feed for hens to lay those high-priced eggs you would soon realize the profit is not as big as .you probably imagine it to be. Perhaps this little ,tip may help you out a bit, If you have .an egg with a slight cradk in it, and you want to hail it, try sticking .a bit .of Scotch tape over .the oracle. Then .drop the egg into boiling water, into which :about .a teaspoonful of salt has been .added., The .oracle may spread but yotrr:egg-white will never boli out.

Well, I had ever so many letters telling me what to do -but I still had trouble until one writer laid — "Your eggs are too fresh -- they they should be at least 3 or 4 days old.” That was just it . . . and the reason is so obvious when I began to think of it. The air space of an egg increases with age. In fresh eggs the air space is practi- cally nil—so the shell sticks closer than a brother. Funny what a long time we some- times take to learn the simplest things. For instance, after 30 years I have just found out how to make a good apple pie. Raisin, yes . . but apple,, no. Then one' of my friends who makes an apple pie that just about melts in your mouth told me she always used brown sugar . . and 'I had never used anything but white. Now I can make an apple pie that everyone enjoys. Another of life's mysteries solved. Maybe after a while I'll know how to keep house—but that won't be until I've,learned how to iron a tablecloth! At present 1 choose the line of least resistance— send my best ones out to be laun- dered. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Is it proper to ask a married man to serve as best man at a wed- dang? A.

Golden Toxtt—Justice and judg- ment are the habitation of thy throne:. mercy and truthshall go before thy face. Psalm 89:14, It has been said that if the wealth of the world were equally divided among all the people, in three years it would be back where it is now. Allowing for the exageration that accompanies such generalizations, the truth of the suggestion trust be admitted. Jesus said, "Ye have the poor with you always." Mk. 14:7. If no economic system can completely abolish poverty, at least we can have justice. The apostle James esc- heats: "My brethren, nave not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of per- sons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, 'Sit thou here in a good place' and say to the poor, 'Stand thou there, or sit !Jere under my footstool:' are ye not then partial in yourselves, and art become judges of evil thoughts?—If ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors." 2:1-9. Money is power. But money cannot redeem from sin. Further- more, it does not give a priority when one stands before the Judge. Indeed it involves serious responsi- bility. He with the others must de- fend the poor and fatherless and do justice to the affilicted and needy. He must rid the poor and needy out of the hand of the wicked. The love of money is the root of every kind of evil. In getting money, let us he - war lest it get us. God will judge all men. If we would head His "Well done," then we must be faith- ful stewards over all that He has given us. We must practise the kind of justice that He will execute upon all men. How prayerfully and carefully we ought to live. Pickups From Here and There When the white man discovered this country, the Indians were run- ning it.

TAKE AWHILE FOR ME.TO TAKE OFF MY... TABLE TALKS alaus According to some of the male members of my family, there's something about home-made ketch- up that none of the "boughten" kind can snatch. (They always make such a comment about this time of year, when they hear me remark that for once I'm not going to make any.) Anyway, here's a really grand re cipe, and I'm going to describe each step in the malting in detail, so that you should find' the directions easy to follow—I hope; For finest re- sults be awe and use only red, RIPE tomatoes; and, of .course, the vinegar and spices should be the very best you can procure. TOMATO KETCHUP 12 pounds ripe tomatoes 2 cups cider vinegar 11 tablespoons broken stick cinnamon 1 tablespoon whole cloves 1% teaspoons celery seed 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 medium onions, sliced r/q teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/ cups sugar 2 teaspoons paprika 15,4 tablespoons salt Method—(1) Dip the tomatoes into boiling water one minute, then into cold water to loosen the skins. (Putting them into a cloth or the end of an old pillow -case snakes the dipping easier.) Peel. Combine your vinegar and spices; cover; snd cook for half an hour. Remove from heat and let stand. (2) While the spices and vinegar simmering, place the peeled to- matoes in a kettle and mash with a potato masher. Add onions and pepper. Heat to boiling point, then let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often. (3) Run the mixture through a sieve (or food -mill). Return to stove and add the sugar. Simmer until the mixture is reduced to half its a riginal volume. (4) Strain the spices and vinegar and discard the spices, Now add this liquid to your tomato mixture; • add paprika and salt. Simmer until it is the desired consistency. (5) Pour ketchup while it is boil- ing hot into hot, sterilized jars and seal. When jars are cool, label and store in a cool place. This recipe makes about three pints of rich ketchup—and, of course, there's no law against you "doubling up" on the quantities if you think the folks will want more. Next—well, do you think you could stand for a new pie recipe? That is to say, it was new to me up to about a month ago; but since I "tri ' it out" on the folks I had several requests for repeats. It's GREEN APPLE PIE IN CHEESE CRUST 3 cups: green apples, sliced 2 cups sugar. 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 54 teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon 3 tablespoons butter 2 cups flour 2/3 cup shortening 54 cup very cold water, (ice water if you have it). 1,teaspoon salt 54 cup grated cheese Method—Sift and measure flour and resift with salt, Add grated cheese. Cut fat into flour and rub it in with the fingers, working very quickly, Sprinkle iced water over mixture, a little at a time, tossing lightly with a fork, Do not ovcrmix.' Chill dough before using. Line pie - plate with crust, Sprinkle one-third of sugar and spice mixture over the pastry, spread with apples which have been pared, cored and sliced, and cover with remaining sugar, lemon and dots of butter. Cover with top crust. Bake in a 450- degree oven 10 minutes, reduce to 350 degrees and bake 30 minutes longer. Answer to Crossword Puzzle ono: '91111 mints i�0©®©© ®®i .
