Give Program
The children of the Shanghai
school, with their teacher, Mrs. Ward
Miller, held a Hallowe'en party yes
terday afternoon at the school. There
were all the Interesting games of the
particular season and the pupils fur
nished the cookies and the teacher
the cider, for the lunch which, fin
ished the happy affair.
The Lone Star school, of which
Miss Gladys Billings is the teacher,
had their party last evening and we
hope for a full account of It, also.
Has Birthday
Bobby Chenault, of the Iowa dis
trict was nine years old Sunday. We
were about to say that he spent the
day quietly, but no, he had for his
guest, Glfford Hulse, of the Lone Star
neighborhood and those who are fa
miliar with these two lads, know that
no celebration In which they figured
could be exactly "quiet." But they
had a happy day together and their
mothers are still alive, perhaps even
without any more gray hairs, and so
everything 1b lovely.-
The Fisher Sale
The public Bale of tho property of
the late Julius Fisher, of Lower Cove,
held last Tuesday was probably one
of the largest sales ever held In the
county. The nearest estimate of the
attendance, we think should be quite
accurate. The women who served the
lunch had secured 1000 plates and
these had to be supplemented by
others before the company had been
served. While practically all of the
things were sold, the prices were In
variably low. It Is reported. The Fish
er dairy herd was one of the best in
Eastern Oregon and we are told the
highest price any of the animals
brought was around $45, running as
low as in the teens. The lunch at
noon consisted of baked beans, po
tato salad, sandwiches and coffee,

HEALTHFUL, INEXPENSIVE FOOD

Whole wheat products which aro
milled at-home or under homo super
vision, contain tho entire- grain. Tho
germ has been romovod from much
commercial whole wheat. The germ
contains considerable fat and there
fore wheat containing tho germ does
not keep for many weeks. Prepare
cracked wheat and home ground flour
only ln quantities sufficient for early
consumption.
Hard wheat flour contains more
gluten than soft wheat flour and is
suitable for bread making; soft wheat
flour contains more starch than hard
wheat and is sultablo for cakes and
pastries. .
In order to obtain a balanced diet,
wheat products must bo supplement
ed by an adequate supply of milk,
vegetables, fruit, and eggs, meat, or
fish. Those foods that may be re
placed by whole wheat products are
commercially propared breakfast
foods, rice, macaroni, spaghetti, white
flour, and products made from it
such as white bread and crackers.
Cleaning Whole Wheat dm hi
To clean wheat at home, place ln
a broad pan, add considerable water
and stir. Most of the oats, chaff and
other impurities will rise to the top.
Pour these off Into a elevo or strainer,
not directly Into tho sink. Repeat
washing. Look over romalnlng grain,
a handful at a time, and remove utiv
dcslrablo korncls or othor impurities,

Cracked wheat can bo purchased a
such at feed stores or mills, xr li
can bo mad0 at homo by grinding
cleaned soaked wheat in a food chop-

wheat cooks to a more mushy, atili
consistency than does the whole
grain. Whole and cracked wheat may
bo uflcd Interchangeably In most of
the recipes given below,
Cooking Whole Wheat
To one cup of washed whole wheat,
add 2 cups of hot water and 1 -:ovci
teaspoon of salt. Boll over direct neat
ln top of double boiler or similar
utensil 5 minutes.
Placo covered saucepan of wheat
In pan of boiling water and let stand
over night or for several hours. Heat
can bo retained longer by use of fire
less cooker or other insulation, or by
placing double boilor In oven over
night. Next morning, add 1 more cup
of hot water or milk to each cup of
dry wheat UBed, and cook In double
boiler until tondor, usually about an
hour.
If cracked wheat is desired rather
than whol0 grains, proceed as do-
scribed above up to point or secona
cooking. Then put tho partly cooked
wheat through tho food choppor in
tho morning beforo finishing tho
cooking.
Wheat can be cooked without tho
over-night process by placing 1 cup
lof wheat, 3 cups of hot water, and 1
j teaspoon of salt in double boiler and
cooking without stirring 3 to 4 hours.
Wheat can bo cooked ln a steam
pressure cooker by placing In a pan
1 cup wheat, 1 cupa of hot water,
and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cooxlng
at 15 pounds pressure for l'fc hours.
Allow pressure to return to aero be

used, add 1 teaspoon or soda to I
