Below is a recipe clipped from a
northern periodical. If followed
exactly, the result is an unusually
good oatmeal cookie. If, however,
you have, figuratively speaking, to
cut the garment according to the
cloth, you may use white sugar
instead of brown; you may use
some other shortening instead of
butter; you may add chopped pe
cans instead of walnut meats; and
you will still have something very
desirable for lunches. You may
also use more raisins than one
half cup, which, I think, is an im
provement. But then I'm a crank
about raisins.
Oatmeal Rocks
Cream thoroughly
1 cup brown sugar
2-3 cup shortening. Add
2 well-beaten eggs. Beat. Add
4 tablespoons milk. Place in flour

1-2 teaspoon allspice
1-2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup chopped walnut meats
1-2 cup soaked raisins. Add flour

Place by teaspoonfuls on
greased cookie sheet. Bake 20
minutes at 400 degrees F., or

AUSTRIA NOW PART OF
GERMANY
With Hitler making a triumphal
entry into Austria that once migh
ty country has become a part of
Germany. A plebiscite announced
April 10 will probably be only for
the purpose of allowing the people
to publicly sanction the step that
has been taken. Mussolini is said .
to be enthusiastic over Germany’s
move. There was no bloodshed
when Austria ceased to be a na
tion. Her president resigned af
ter unsuccessfully opposing the
movement to unite with Germany,
which was a Nazi aim.
