K Partial to Parties
MODERN parties are taking a '
new slant. The guests do the
cooking. Erstwhile parties were 1
notable for guests being guests
and hosts being hosts. In fact so '
* busy was the hostess for days be
* fore the party, in order that the
' guests might be served without |
lifting a finger, that it was not
unusual to be entertained by a j
weary hostess.
It's Different Today
l|' Perish the thought. Today the '
guests do the work —and like it. ]
]
l
Try giving a party where every
guest prepares at least one dish. 
It's really good sport, and good
eating. Be sure that you have
plenty of canned peas on hand, for
you'll be surprised how many :
people will say that their own
particular crackerjack culinary
performance calls (or peas. Peas
are partial to parties.
. If you have some patty shells i
or pastry cases on hand and would
t, like to supply a recipe for a guest
who Is racking his brains for
something to make, here is a good
•nggestion:
Party Peas in Pastry Cases:
Make a white sauce of two table
spoons butter, two tablespoons
flour, three-fourths cup evajwrated |
?mllk and all of the liquor from
t one No. 2 can of peas and one 2-
. ounce can of mushrooms. Season
with salt and pepper. Add the
peas and the mushrooms and also
one-fourth cap of shredded pimi- 
ento. Reheat and serve in pastry j
case*, or In aokill patty sheila. 1
This serves six j^reona.*
Francisco News
Francisco. What a welcome
rain we farmers and farmerettes
are receiving. It will soften the
clods and make beans and corn
burst through the land. The to-!
baccco plants will soon be push
ing the cloths off, demanding
more sunshine and attention. We
are already pinching "sallet" and
lettuce and pulling the rosy
radish and yellow carrots that
we slipped under the cloth long
side the poles that surround the
tobacco beds. Oh! isn't it good to
be alive in the springtime? I
can hardly do duty to my cook
ing and house cleaning, every
thing is so lovely and fresh out
side on a spring morning. It is
so beautiful, even if your are
poor in the country, you don't
mind it so much as you- do la
the towns and cities. I hear of
drinking and drunken driving but
I rarely see it. I used to long for
a house by the side of the road
but I don't anymore.
i
Farmers are signing up pretty
fast. They have begun to realize
they are strong standing to
gether but weak by themselves.
They should sign and demand re
cognition. I believ e that is why
_ farm commodities have been
kept down so long now when
we raise too many beans or any
[ other vegetable, we don't know
. what we can get for it. We take
them to market and ask "what
will you give me. Well when we
buy we give another man's prico.
We don't tell him what we will
I give. And that's the way tobacc
. has always sold. It's what I can
, set when I soil and what will
I you take when you buy.

WINE AND SLOT
MACHINES BARRED
COUNTY /COMMISSIONERS.
HOWEVER, DECIDE TO
LEAVE REER ALONE FOR
AWHILE AT LEAST PRE
SENT LICENSES EXPIRE
THIS MONTH.
Wine and slot machines were
outlawed by the county com
missioners here Monday, the
board being in regular session
with J. A. Joyce, chairman; H.
H. Brown and Howard Gibson
present.
Slot machines have been in
operation at several points in
the county, while wine and beer
have been on sale at various
cafes. All these produced con
siderable revenue for the county.
But the commissioners after
hearing complaint from numerous
nitizens, especially as to the
operation of the slot machines
and the sale of wine, decided to
renew no more license for these
two evils. As to beer, it was de
cided to let this beverage alone
for the present, it being consider
ed less intoxicating than wine.
It is understood that the wine
and slot machine licenses expire
the last of this month.

FOOLS and
BEANS
FOOLS rush in, so they toll us,
where angels fear to tread.
Hut if it weren't for fools we'd
he treading the same old paths
much too often.
Much has been said of flying
fools, those daring aviators who
blaze the airways for us. but per- .
haps too little note has been given ' j
to cooking-fools. They are euiin- I
ary pioneers who dure to do
things different witli usually an '
unerring instinct for little nice- |
ties of flavor.
Combinations You'll Approve j
llaked beans, for example Just I
plain baked b'-ans- -are hard to |
beat when properly baked. Ilm j
if it weren't for some cookim; fool '
we'd be satisfied to go on just li.ik i
ijig our beans the rest of our days.
Who. but a fool, would ever
have thought to combine baked
beans with cheese and nuts in a
casserole dish; «f making then,
into sandwiches in company with !
ham and pickle; or of cooking j
ihem with corned beef, carrots an>! i
tomatoes? These are some of the !
delicious dishes that we must
thank fools for because they had
imagination and initiative.
Which one will you have? Thij
casserole dish is the easiest, an ,
it's good.
