With only 13 days left till Christ
mas, the children we know are al
ready getting their letters off to
old Santa Claus. The postman left
three of these letters on my desk
and we are forwarding them to the
North Pole. Two of them look
strangely like the same child’s
writing, on yellow paper. Being
only one of Santa’s most inexperi
enced helpers, I can’t quite de
cipher the heiroglyphics, but San
ta Claus understands all those
things, and will probably bring ex
actly what that child has asked
for.
Another letter neatly printed,
goes like this, “Dear Santa, I want
a piano for Christmas. I do not
want a doll for Christmas. I have
plenty of dolls. Love, too. Gibbs.”
One of my favorite hangouts
around town is the home agent’s
office downstairs at the post of
fice. When I stopped in the oth
er morning, Miss Mary Margaret
Robinson, home agent, had a bas
ket of gifts all wrapped and
probably ready to go under some
•ne’s tree. She won’t mind if we
pass along her secret of making
her gifts look dressed up. It’s a
way of decorating with last
year’s Christmas cards.
First she wraps the gift in
tissue paper, then picks out a j
colored Christmas card, which
will blend with the color of the
paper. She pastes the illustration
on top of the package, and
forms an outline with tinseled
tape. The result is beautiful.
Miss Robinson says that she
and the members of the home
demonstration clubs of the coun
ty are enjoying their Christmas
parties scheduled for this month.
As children are anxious to enter
into the spirit of giving at Christ
mas, this season is a good time for
them to use their hands for mak
ing gifts for those they love. The
materials for, and the gifts
themselves depend to a great ex
tent on the age of the child, but
the value of the present, the sense
of having put something of them
selves into it, comes chiefly from
their planning . . . and then the
carrying out of their plans.
Don’t be critical of the imper
fections of the article made by the
tiny hands, for to them each fin
ished product is a real achieve
ment. The most important thing
to keep in mind is not to let the
younger children tackle something
too hard or too long drawn out
for them. If they grow tired or dis
couraged, then the doing has lost
its charm. About that time you can
tactfully lend a hand, leaving hem

Cheese, one of the most nourish
ing and popular foods known to
man, is again appearing in quan
tities in food stores as supplies in
crease after nearly five years’ ab
sence due to the war.
The exact place of origin of
cheese is unknown. However, it is
the generally accepted belief that
cheese was first discovered by a
shepherd of ancient times while
tending his flock. The shepherd
carried his milk in a gourd made
from the stomach of a calf. Appar-!
ently the hide had not been prop
erly cured, and when he decided
to eat his noon meal, nothing of a
liquid nature remained in the
gourd. Upon opening the container
with a knife, the shepherd found |
a white thick substance which he ;
sampled and found appetizing. And
by accident, cheese was added to !
man’s di°t, and now ranks with
other staples in the world’s menu.

With more people asking for Budweiser
than ever before, you’ll never get your
share if you merely order ‘beer. If you
don’t ask for your Budweiser, somebody
else will. The world’s largest brewery is
working at full capacity to supply
dealers with the most popular brew the

Dear Mr. Anderson:
When properly taken care of the
black walnuts are our finest nuts
and have many more uses than the
nuts we can buy from other states.
The black walnuts grown locally
should be on the market every sea
son, but the reason there is such
little demand for them is because
they are not properly cared for at
the proper time, and when you
open one it is dark, soggy and of
| little or no flavor. Walnuts must
' be looked after daily when they
begin to fall—with gloves to pro
tect the hands—crack the nuts out
while the outer hull is yet green,
dry out the nuts in the sun or in a
cool airy place such as the barn
loft, then store in a cool place.
These nuts will be crisp, light in
i color and very rich and of high
flavor. Try this—farm wives.
—Mrs. J. C. Orr.
