H<D ^^^''i'^ A^////^ HRONICLES GvcrvdoUrve P. Clctrkc Last week's column wai written !â-  between preparations for feeding tltrcahcrs â€" and with the uncertainty M to whether or not they were com- kg for lupper. However, I took a chance and it worked out all right, laatcad of supper I had them for HmoKt next day. S« BOW that little job is over â€" •ad the wheat turned ont well, con- iMcriaar the drought After the wheat was threshed, my men turned thtir attention to second-crop ha.y â€" •attiiis, coiling and hauling it into 4h* barn. And it was good hay â€" thanks to recent rains. Our oats •ad barley are still out in the field because every time the men talk •bout drawing in, it either rains or there is a threshing to go to. To- day, for instance, the weather is 6ne â€" but Bob is away to a thresh- ing. Tomorrow there will be no threshing â€" so I suppose it will rain. Ah, mel The joys of farming , . . the uncertainty! But we arc iiirc of one thing regarding tomor-. row ^ it's goiag to be HOT. Ninety here yesterday â€" and the probs are the same for today â€" but around Ivloose Jaw it was 107J You have to know the shadclcss prairie to realize what that means. A little while ago I was alone •ne of our fences picking choke- sherries. There was a nice breeze blowing from the west, and of course 1 was on the shady side of the fence. It was really quite pleas- ant and I could not help thinking what a difference it would make «o trairie farm land . . . what a Messed relief ... if there was even as much shade as one gets down here from an ordinary overgrown fence brush. So today every time I feel inclined to grumble about the heat, I am going to remember in- stead how much worse it would be on the treeless scorching prairie. Remembering that maybe I shall feel more inclined to go on with my chokecherry jelly. This is my first attempt at making it Maybe I wouldn't be doing it now but my sister-in-law from Mattawa said, "What I would do if 1 were here with all those chokecherrics arouncL" I hate to think we may be missing out on something so I thought I conld ati^east give the jelly a try â€" using halt apple and half choke- cherry. But £ wish I could trade these chokecherrics for the blue- berries that grow in the Mattawa district. The high cost ol living makes one feel inclined to try any- thing these days if it results in a slight reduction in grocery bills. -And eggs. , . . i am sorry for housewives who have to buy eggs. But yet l)"''eve me, if you were buying the feed for hens to lay those high-priced eggs yon would soon realize tlie protit is not as big as yon probably imagine it to be. Perhaps this little tip may help you ont a bit \i you have an egg with a slight crack in it and you want to boil it try stitking a bit of Scotch taiie over the crack. Then drop the egg into boiling water, into which about a teaspoonful of salt has been added. The crack may spread but your egg-white will never boil out. And that reminds me . . . do you remember il sent out an S.O.S. last year about peeling hard-boiled eggs as I was having so much trouble? Well, I had ever so many letters telling me what to do â€" but I still had trouble until one writer laid â€" "Your eggs are too fresh â€" 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 nH â€" so the shell sticks closer than a brother. Funny what a long time we some- times take to learn the fimplest 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 1 can make an apple pie that everyone enjoys, .\nother of life's mysteries solved. Maybe after a while I'll know how to keep house â€" but that won't be until I've learned how to iron a tablecloth! .\t present I choose the line of least resistance â€" send my best ones out to be laun- dered.

Oolden Taxtiâ€" Justice and judg- ment arc the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall 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 must 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 ex- horts: "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, '§tand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:' are ye not then partial in yourselves, and art become judges of evil thoughts? â€" 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. Furtlier- more, it does not give a priority when one stands bcfoie 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 be- 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. Pickup* From Here and There When the white man discovered this country, the Indians were run- ning it.

According to some of the male members of my family, there's something about home-made ketch- ap that none of the "boughten" kind ean match. CThey 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 making in detail, so that you should find the directions easy to followâ€" I hope. For finest re- sults be .ure and use only red, RIPE tomatoes; and, of course, the vinegar and spices should be the â-¼ery best you can procure. TOMATO KETCHUP 12 pounds ripe tomatoes 2 cups cider vinegar 11/^ tablespoons broken stick cinnamon 1 tablespoon whole cloves 1^4 teaspoons celery seed 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 medium onions, sliced Y^ teaspoon cayenne pepper 1'4 cups sugar 2 teaspoons paprika \Vi tablespoons salt Method â€" U) L)>P the tomatoes into boihng water one minute, then into cold water to loosen the skins. (.Putting them into a cloth or the end of an old pillow-case makes the dipping easier.) Peel. Combine your vinegar and spices; cover; and 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). R«ttn-n to stove and add the sugar. Simmer until the mixture is reduced to half its I 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 antil it is the desired consistency. (5) Pour ketchup while it is boU- ing hot into hot, sterilized jars and seal. When jars are cool, kibcl and store in a cool place. This recipe makes about three pints of rich ketchup â€" and, of course, there's no law against yon "doubling up'' on the quantities If you think the folhs will want more. Next â€" well, do you think yon could stand for a new pic 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 PIB IN CHEESE CRUST S cups green apples, sliced < cups sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice ^ teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon a tablespoons butter 2 cups flour 2/3 cup shortening ^ cup very cold water, (ica water if you have it). 1 . teaspoon salt 54 cup grated cheese Method â€" Si't 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 w.iter over mixture, a little at a time, tossing lightly with a fork. Do not overmix. 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 .10 minutes longer. .\nswer to Crossword Puzzle M 9 9 A \. I A T ^' o w.
