          The News has arranged to publish, weekly, under the head of "The Kitchen Cupboard," a series of home cooking recipes written by Anna Thompson. This week the subject is "Salads;" next week it will be "Bacon;" These articles will be profitable reading for everyone who cooks.



        SALADS YOU WILL LIKE
          SALADS that appeal to the eye and palate are always popular. The appended recipes are for salads that unite these qualities, yet are also quite novel. For luncheon or supper these salads are delicious.

          Cottage Cheese Salad - Mix some cottage cheese with a tablespoonful of finely cut or grated onion. Salt and pepper to taste and a tablespoonful of chopped parsley. Mix well. Line the bowl with lettuce, put the cheese in center and garnish with stuffed olives cut into rings, and finely cut parsley. Pour over one half cupful French dressing.
        NUTRITIOUS FOODS.
          Cheese and Jelly Salad - Wash and drain some crisp white lettuce and lay it in a very cold dish. Prepare some small balls of cream cheese mixed with a little cream and salt and make a little depression like a miniature well on top of each one. In this drop any rich red jelly. Put French dressing on the lettuce in generous quantities and on top arrange the little cream balls.

          Egg Salad - Cut hard boiled eggs in quarters and serve on crisp lettuce, with a boiled dressing. For the dressing mix in the following order: A tablespoonful of sugar, a tablespoonful of salad oil, a teaspoonful of dry mustard, the same of cornstarch. Add salt and pepper. Stir until smooth. Add three-quarters of a cup of salad oil, one-third of a cupful of tarragon vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of common vinegar and the beaten yolks of three eggs. Boil until thick, stirring all the time.
        A POPULAR SALAD.
          Cooked Vegetable Salad. - Take a large pickled beet, cut it into slices and then into strips. Cut three cooked potatoes in a similar manner. Arrange these in layers in a salad bowl containing three tablespoonfuls of best salad oil and one large tablespoonful of vinegar mixed with a hard boiled egg yolk, a little mustard, salt and pepper. Wash and trim half a small bunch of white celery and cut it into fine shreds. Mix these with the other vegetables and place three to four filleted anchovies on top, cut into small strips. Garnish the salad with a few sprigs of watercress and serve.


        SCHOOL BOARD MEETING

          The school board, at its meeting last Wednesday evening, elected Prof. K. M. Haley, of Airlie, as principal, and Miss Ida Mack and Miss Leto Wolverton to the two vacancies in the list of grade teachers. Two high school teachers are yet to be elected. About 40 teachers made application for the 11 positions, which proves that the Falls City school is becoming more popular with the teachers, year by year.

          The school board is to be congratulated for its successful solution of the difficult problem of selecting teachers. As the matter now stands, Falls City will have another year of most successful school work.

          Prof. Barnhart was a most acceptable principal, but he wanted more salary for another term than the board decided they could pay. His excellent record here for two terms will be of decided advantage to him for seeking a new field.

          The public school is coming to be the common center around which the social and entertainment activities of a community will be grouped. Why not help along with the good work by encouraging the erection of a building on our school property for use as a gymnasium, and for manual training and domestic science classes, and also for use for public meetings and conferences relating to community affairs?

This ordinance provides all owners of dogs must pay a license fee of $2.50 per year for each male dog if they are allowed to run at large. If they are tied up or led by a chain or rope no fee is required. However, if the provisions of the ordinance are violated, the owner of the dog is arrested and subject to a fine of not less than $5 and in default thereof, may be subject to imprisonment.

          Someone has truthfully said that "all the forward movements in the world cannot produce the value of a home," be it ever so humble. Neither can the eugenic craze take the place of mother's good-night kiss.
