Stuffed Tomatoes
Stuffed tomatoes and peppers of
fer other chances for vegetable com
binations that are delicious. Here is
one that is unusual and it calls
for the addition of nuts, so really
doesn't belong here. But is is very
good. Mash potatoes and season
them well. Then add coarsely brok
en pecan meats half the quantity
to the potato. With this mixture
stuff tomatoes from which centers
have been removed. Bake, basting
with butter and hot water, until
tender and brown.
Green peas and rice and celery
diced and boiled, and the peas
should be boiled, too make a good
tomato filling. Or string beans,
bread crumbs, shredded green pep
per and onion.
Tomato, celery, and onion, with
rice or bread crumbs to give con
sistency, make a good filling for
stuffed green peppers. Or you may
use rice, onion, celery and aspara
gus. Fried Tomatoes
Fried tomatoes are a summer del
icacy that almost everybody likes.
They make an admirable accom
paniment to broiled beefsteak or to
any roast meat They give zest to a
vegetable plate. And served with
broiled or fried bacon they become
a mainstay dish of first importance
and great deliciousness.
You can fry them simply by slic
ing them, with skins on, into a skil
let in which there is plenty of hot
butter sizzling. Be careful not to
burn them. Reduce the heat a little
after they first go in and cook them
until they are tender.
They may be dipped in fritter
batter and fried in deep fat
Best of all, perhaps, is this: Dip
sliced, unskinned tomatoes in crack
er crumbs, then in beaten egg, then
in cracker crumbs again. Fry in hot
fat in a frying-pan or skillet, not in
deep fat as the crumbs and egg are
likely to slip off. Fry until brown
and tender. The covering should
be crisp, the inside of the tomato
tender and succulent

White Cars Enhance
Traffic Cop Service
Immediate and repeated evidence
of the effectiveness of the "white
fleet" of the state traffic division
is shown in comments reaching the
secretary of state, Hal E. Hoss,
since the advent of white automo
biles. While not all of the cars and
motorcycles have been painted as
yet, the value of the plan has been
conclusively demonstrated, accord
ing to a survey made among motor
ists and traffic officers by the secre
tary of state.
One of the outstanding achieve
ments of the change in equipment
One of the features of the 20th j
Pacific International Livestock Ex
position, Portland, Oregon, Oct. 25
Nov. 1, will be the Rotary Lunch
eon sponsored annually by the Port
land Club for the "entertainment of
visiting members from all parts of
the country. Last year the gover
nors of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho were honor guests at the
luncheon held in the new Hall do
nated by J. C. Penney to be used
for Boys and Girls Club Work and
Smith-Hughes Vocational activities.
The yearly meeting of these Ju
nior Agriculturalists recognized
by the U. S. Government under the
name of "Camp Plummer" in
charge of H. C. Seymour, Oregon
State Club leader, assisted by U. S.
Dept of Agriculture officials and
other State Club leaders is one of
the most constructive activities in
which the Exposition is engaged.
On Sunday morning, Oct. 26, at
11 o'clock, Memorial Services will
be held for late Governor Patter
son of Oregon and a bronze tablet
unveiled.
Exhibited this year under the
11-acre roof will be seen millions
of dollars worth of America's fin
est pure-bred Beef and Dairy Cattle,
Heavy Draft Horses, Sheep, Hogs,
Goats, Foxes, Mink, Marten, Poul
try and Rabbits.
Other exhibits Include 2-acre In
dustrial Exposition; complete Dairy
Show, featuring milk, cream, ice
cream, butter and cheese of all
kinds; Wool and Mohair Show
staged with assistance of U. S.
Dept of Agriculture and Pacific
Co-operative Wool Growers Asso
ciation; Manufacturers' and Land
Products Show; "Truth-in-Meats"
Exhibit an educational feature
of immeasurable value to growers,
retailers and consumers; Wild Life
Exhibit by Oregon Fish and Game
Commission; and world-renowned
Horse Show.
Special low round trip fares to
the Exposition will be in effect on
all leading transportation lines.
has been the manner in which traf
fic officers have been made avail
able for more emergency calls.
Members of the state traffic force
have many concrete instances to
show that the fact that they may
be readily seen and recognized as
officers has been of great assist
ance to motorists who were exper
iencing difficulty or wished to re
port accidents or law violations
quickly. That this is speeding up
the apprehension of violators
through the placing of reports in a
more direct manner than hereto
fore is the belief of those who have
been watching the operation of the
white-painted cars.
The psychological effect of the
distinctively marked car when traf
fic is congested has been proved on
numerous occasions. In one sec
tion where heretofore necessary ar
rests following a dance in an out
lying community were a weekly oc
currence in the line of traffic leav
ing the dance hall, and accidents
were many, the mere presence of a
traffic car, easily visible, has
brought the motorists back into
their home towns without any acci
dents to themselves or others and
without any violations of the motor
vehicle laws. On other occasions
when long lines of cars have caused
hazards by too many motorists try
ing to pass without the necessary
clearance, a white car in sight im
mediately reduces this hazard to
practically nil.
"I believe that those interested
in traffic enforcement in the state.
and who isn't, whether he be a
motorist or a pedestrian, will come
more and more to appreciate the
efficiency of the white equipment,"
states Mr. Hoss, who adds, "Contin
ued observance of the work of the
easily identified motor vehicles will
be made to keep a close check on
the accomplishments of the new pol
icy." "And what did your poet do when
you turned him down?"
"Oh, the poor dear threw himself
into the waste-paper basket"
Forest Circular On
Wood-Painting Out
Paint coatings have been found to
last nearly twice as long on some
kinds of wood surfaces as on others,
under otherwise comparable condi
tions. This difference can not be
overcome or even materially reduc
ed by changing the proportions of
paint oil, and thinner in the prim
ing-coat mixture for different
woods. These are some of the con
clusions of a 5-year study of the
painting of softwoods by Dr. F. L.
Browne, chemist In charge of the
nvestigation, of the U. S. Forest
Products laboratory. This paint
study, based on some 2,000 painted
panels throughout t he United
States, is summarized in Leaflet
62-L, of the U. S. department of ag
riculture, copies of which have been
received at the regional forester's
office, Portland, Oregon.
The difference in paint behavior
on different woods is largely a mat
ter or the proportion of summer
wood and spring wood in their dis
tribution in the boards, the invest!
gation showed. The Importance of
summer wood in the problem is ex
plained as follows:
"The painting characteristics of
a board depend primarily upon the
amount and distribution of summer
wood in it Summer wood is the
dense, horny, dark-colored portion
of the annual growth ring formed in
the tree late in the growing season.
It Is made up of wood cells with
very thick walls and small cavities
and Is In this sense much less por
ous than the spring wood, which is
composed of cells with thin walls
and correspondingly large cavities.
All native softwoods contain both
summer wood and spring wood, but
the proportions vary in different
woods and in different boards of
the same wood. There is, in fact
a greater variation in painting char
acteristics between the spring wood
and summer wood in a single board
than there is between average
boards of different woods.
"The density, or weight per unit
volume, of a softwood board mea
sures roughly its ability to hold
paint coatings, because boards are
heavy or light according as they
contain much or little summer
wood. Paintability therefore de
pends chiefly upon density and tex
ture considered together. Light
boards and boards of fine texture
hold paint better than heavy boards
and boards of coarse texture."
Select grades of lumber, because
of absence of knots, etc., are more
satisfactory to paint than common
grades. Boards painted on the
"pith" side (surface grown nearer
heart of tree) sometimes tend to
break up the paint coating by "shell
ing out" of the grain, but boards
painted on the "bark" side rarely
do so, Dr. Browne concludes.

Leaflet 62-L, "Why Some Wood Sur
faces Hold Paint Longer than Oth
ers," may be obtained without

"How is your husband's lawsuit

"He thinks he will either get two
months in prison or two months in
Palm Beach from it"
"Be careful, Junior. See that you
don't hit your fingers with the ham
mer." "I shan't, mother. Daddy's going
to hold the nail for me!"

REJECT POWER BILL
THIS is no time for dangerous exDeri-
ments in public ownership that invari
ably increase taxes and bonded indebtedness
against real property," say scores of level
headed farmers and other citizens who have
studied the proposals for putting politics into
the power business. This measure would take
the lid completely off tax limitations. It con
stitutes the most dangerous tax-increasing
scheme ever submitted to the voters. Vote it
down for your own protection!
