Aletha Mercer, Reporter, i Peach Cake Is Good Come-On A/T AYBE it’s an outing you want next Sunday, or help with the curtains. Whatever you wish from your family, a special Peach Cake for dinner will help win it. For right hand aid on this dessert, try the new self-rising flour now on the market. The new product has lots :of advantages over the old self-rising |flour, because action is slowed so I that by the time your cake is mixed, I the baking powder is only starting To work. Thus, you lose none of I the “risin’ ” power. Here is the recipe to try with the 'new flour: Peach Cake > Cream 7 tablespoons or a scant I % cup fat. Add % cup sugar. Cream until sugar has dissolved. Add 1 I egg and stir in thoroughly (do not beat). Add % cup milk and cups self-rising flour alternately. Add 1 teaspoon extract. Pour into a greased and floured cake pan, and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) about 30 minutes. Whip 1 pint whipping cream and add % cup sug ar. Split the cake. Spread lower half with 1 cup crushed peaches and half the whipping cream. Add top layer, and pile with another cup of crushed peaches and remaining cream. Garnish with peach slices. Hints to Gardeners by Walter Nixon Vegetable Expert Ferry Seed Station I II ■ Beans For A Purpose TO get the most from his beau crop, the gardener should l-e well acquainted with the iaa.-. available varieties- of striuglass beans. Then he should plant those varieties best suited to his partic ular needs. Jf earliness is his principal in terest, he should select either Bouu •tiful (green-podded) or Ferry’s Golden Wax (yellow). Bountiful, besides being about as early as any other bean, is excellent for use when small, in shoe-strain size. Bountiful is also a good choice for the gardener growing for home canning, for it produces abundantly. The gardener interested in yield over a long season should select both a bush bean, like Bountiful or Ferry's Golden Wax, and a pole bean. The pole beans begin produc ing when the yield from the bush beans tapers off. Kentucky Wonder is one of the best all-purpose pole beans. It pro vides good quality snap beans. When past the snap stage the peds may be cut up and cooked southern style. Later, Kentucky Wonder may be used in the green shell stage. In the more mature stage the beans (or seeds) may be used in baking or In soup. For such a wide range of use, the white-seeded Kentucky Wonder (Burger’s Green Pod Stringless), also white-seeded, may preve more satisfactory than the regular brown seeded variety. The dark colored seeds produce less attractive dishes when cooked long or when in soups. Metro Theatre Mount Vernon, Ga. The Friendly Theatre PROGRAM Daily at 8:8C—7:15 tell P. M.

Good Definition “Gamblin' money,” said Uncle Eben, “Is de bait on a hook dat lets a fish get st little sometimes, jes’ to keep him nibblin'.” ” to the People cj Qatfujia February 14,1941, win mark the completion of twelve months of voluntary and effective self-regulation by the Brewers & Beer Distributors Com mittee of Georgia. In organizing the Committee a year ago, its sponsors had in mind these two fundamental objectives: FlßST—Through wholehearted Committee cooperation with state and local law-enforcement agencies, to “clean up or close up” any establishment which abuses the legal privilege of selling beer. SECOND—Through advertising and other forms of edu cational publicity, to acquaint the people of Georgia with the social and economic benefits of orderly and improved operation of retail beer outlets. Beer taxes paid to the State of Georgia in the 1939-1940 fiscal year amounted to $1,187,352. The brewing industry also provides 10,000 jobs for Georgians, who receive annually some $6,000,000 in wages. The Committee expresses sincere thanks to enforce ment officials, the press and citizenry of Georgia, for their support and encouragement that made possible the following results: Retailers Warned ......... 228 Licenses Revoked ...39 Licenses Surrendered . . 2 Outlets Rechecked to Date and Found Corrected . 138 Outlets Investigated by Committee . . 1,910 With the knowledge that the self-regulation program has improved conditions surrounding beer retailing dur ing 1940, the Committee faces its second year of service prepared and determined to bring about a still better record of accomplishment in 1941. You can help us attain that worth-while objective by withholding your patronage from outlets which tol erate unwholesome conditions or practices. When you buy beer, buy it only from a law-abiding retailer. BREWER& BEER DISTRIBUTORS JUDGE JOHN S. WOOD, State Director 529 Hurt Building • Atlanta, Georgia CITY BARBER & BEAUTY SHOP MCRAE. GA.
