our products in the most pleasing and attractive
manner possible because we know that such
an approach is definitely helpful to the shop

ever prepared, you may rest assured that the
whole affair was purely intentional.

Sour-dough
Biscuits
Rona Morris Workman
Vetnonia, Ore.
Please, can someone tell me
how to make sour-dough biscuits?
My menfolks speak of 'them with
longing. I gather from their
words that once having eaten
sour-dough biscuits you pine away
and die if you can no longer get
them. (This, I think, must be a
purely masculine desire, since I
have never heard a woman yearn
ing to feed upon the things.)
I have looked through my cook
books in vain. Evidently 'the Emi
ly Post of the cooking world
doesn’t consider sour-dough bis
cuits a food which any civilized
person would consider eating,
but maybe nien aren’t really
civilized. I have heard that only
women keep them from reverting
to whiskers and a war-club, and
at times I am prone ito believe
it. Finally, in a magazine I found
a sort of recipe. It began: “First
find a sheep-herder—’’. I ask you,
where in this section of the coun
try does one look for a sheep
herder? Besides, if I did find one,
the cattle-men’s association would
probably black-list me.
I gathered from his recipe that
a sheep-herder was necessary for
a “starter”, although I did find
some “starter” .several years ago.
We' were fishing at a mountain
lake and I saw a forester’s de
serted cabin. Woman-like, I had
to investigate. On the table was
a covered jar. I lifted 'the lid—
and my hair lifted with it.
“What on earth is it?”, I
gasped to the Big Boss.
“Smells like sour-dough start
er”, he answered casually, “but
it’s a bit old.”
“Only old”, I snorted, “well,
"it smells like the unburied dead
to me.”
I wanted that jar, though, so,
holding my nose with one hand,
I carried the malodorous thing to
the lake and put it ta soak. I felt
sorry for the fish, but not too
sorry, because all the morning
they had scorned my most se
ductive flies. I learned a year or
so later that a wealthy concern
had made that lake into a health
resort. The waters, they claimed,
had a strange potent quality war
ranted to cure anything from ad
vanced arthritis to a case of
blighted affections.
That jar started sour-dough
'trouble in my family. The odor
seemed to arouse a strange yearn
ing in the Big Boss and he insis
ted that I make some sour-dough
biscuits. I followed his sketchy
instructions and made some. As
projectiles from an 8-inch gun
they would have been excellent. I
tried again. These gave the im
pression 'that they were suffering
from a malignant case of spotted
fever complicated by a touch of
yellow jaundice. I tried yet again.
These I put out on a stump for
the chipmunks. Later I heard an
uproar. One chipmunk, braver
than the rewt, had attacked a bis
cuit, managed to tear off a piece,
and was apparantly choking to
death to the consternation of his
fellows. That was too much. If
even a chipmunk couldn't eat
’em-.
Last month our Marine came
home. On Tulagi he had remem
bered some sour-dough biscuits
eaten long ago at a friend’s
house. Now he wanted me to try
things once more to make the de
licious things. We mothers will

do anything for our returning
sons. I tried. I tried again. And
yet again. They say the Marines
never give up. No job is too
hard for them to craek. But this
Marine broke that sacred rule.
Those biscuits did what the Japs
couldn’t do. They made a Mar
ine acknowledge defeat.
Now I am desperate. To keep
my standing in this family I am
going to have to learn to mak.e
good sour-dough biscuits. If it
takes a sheep-herder for a “start
er”, then I’ll pocket my cattle
man’s pride and find me a sheep
herder. Does anybody know a
sheep-herder, or know a man who
has heard of a sheep-herder in
this country. I just gotta get me
some “starter”. Help!
