The Blue Ribbon of Cooking
Sam H. Thompson, president of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, has awarded the title of "Culinary C hampion of all
Farm Women Cooks in America" to Mrs. M. L. Friese of Red-
wood Fall, Minnesota. Mrs. Friese won the first prize offered
by the Federation for the best Thanksgiving Dinner menu, in
competition with some 500 other farm women in every part of
the United States.
Mrs. Friese, we salute you! We've never met you. but we
admire you. We admire anybody who can think up, let alone
cook, such a dinner as the one for which you won the Farm
Bureau prize. We like your dinner. That is to say, we like to
read about it. We are sorry we couldn't have been at your house
on Thanksgiving Day to eat it. Not that we didn"t have a good
Thanksgiving Day dinner at our house; we did. In fact, one of
the things we like about your dinner is that it was just such a
typically American Thanksgiving dinner as nine-tenths of the
country folks of America sat down to last Thursday—and a big
percentage of city folks as well.
We are not prepared to admit that there are no cooks in our
town who could have given Mrs. Friese a run for her money if
they had entered the Farm Bureau contest. In fact, we know
several ladies who, in our humble judgment, can make a cook-
stove perform more miracles than Edison ever dreamed of. And
we fell that Mrs. Friese won this contest because she stuck to
tradition and got up precisely the same kind of a Thanksgiving
dinner that our own folks had.
There was turkey, of course. Can't have a real Thanksgiving
dinner without turkey—with parsley dressing and giblet sauce.
And cranberry ice and glazed sweet potatoes and mince pie and
pumpkin pie, besides all the other vegetables and "fixings" that
go to make up a genuine old-fashioned Thanksgiving donner. We
just arn't going to put them all down here. We'd starve to death
waiting to get home to dinner if we didn't stop writing about good
things to eat right now.
What we were starting out to say is that with all the new-
fangled notions about balanced meals and reducing diets and
vitamins and calories and such-like, we had been wondering
whether the art of cooking wasn't becoming a lost ai c, outside of
the homes of those ladies we spoke about a little way back. It's
not, praise be! The country is safe. There are still good cooks
left in the land, and they know what a dinner ought to consist
of, and Mrs. Friese and the five hundred others who competed
for the Farm Bureau are not all of them, by a long way.
" MY BEST GIRL"
That i* the appealing title of our next great serial
story.
Kathleen Norris wrote it. That in itself is a guarantee
that it is a human, appealing, intensely interesting story
about people -if the kind you know.
"Maggie Johnson," the "Best Girl" of the story,
works in the "Five-and-Ten." Her father is a letter-
carrier. Her mother feels that she has married beneath
her. Her older sister, "Liz," works in a^ beauty parlor.
Not much romance in Maggie Johnson's life, you
would say. But Maggie finds it—finds it right in the
"Five-and-Ten." You'll love Maggie, and you'll like "Joe,"
the boy who brings romance into the little shopgirl's
drab existence.
Don't Miss the First Installment of this
Great New Serial It Will Begin
Soon in this Paper.
Farm Boys and Girls
There is only one thing about the annual gathering of 4-H
Club boys and girls at the National Livestock Exposition that
ought to be different. That is the fact that all of the city folks
in the United States can't go ta Chicago this week and see the
kind of young folks the farms of America are bringing up today.
If we had our way about running this 4-H Club affair, we'd
arrange to pull off and exhibit of city youngsters at the same
time and place and invite all of the cocktail-drinking city smart-
Alecs, cigarette-smoking "society" women and snooty "modern"
critics of everything that is sound and wholesome in America to
come and compare the two groups.
We know which group would win. Our money would be
down on the 4-H boys and girls.
Seriously, we feel that there is nothing whatever to worry
about concerning the future of the United States, much less the
future of American rural life, so long as the farms of the nation
continue to produce young men and young women of the types;
which make up the 4-H clubs. They call this annual show in
Chicago a Livestock Exposition. It is that, of course, but it seems
to us that by far the most important exhibit there is these'
healthy, industrious, energetic, enthusiastic, wholesome young
people who are sent from every part of the country because they
bave won outstanding success in farming and home-making.
The country districts of the United States can challenge the
cities to show their equal. We know of no comparable movement,
in the cities looking toward development of the qualities of Hand,
Heart, Head and Health which are the four "H's" of the 4-H clubs.
City youngsters may average "smarter" in dress and manners,
though we question the latter. But the important things in life
are not those which appear in the surface. It is character alone
that counts, in the long run; and we know of no finer builder of
fine character than the 4-H cl :'os.
lot of things I did not like to do," he said. "When I became head
of all the stores my unpleasant duties increased. Now I get to
the office before nine o'clock every morning, and a large part of
my day is consumed in duties that are more or less distasteful.
The only man who can do as he pleases is the failure. Every step
up that you take means that you belong less to yourself and more
to other people."
As he spoke I thought of some examples that have come un-
der my own observation.
The partners of Morgan & Co. are the princes of the modem
business world. If you stand outside their building on almost any
winter's evening you will see the lights burning in at least a part
of the private offices. The lo\gpr floors may be dark. The clerks
and accountants have gone home. But almost always some of the
partners are still on the job.
I spent a day with Coolidge while he was still President. He
was supposed to be on vacation. He fished a little in the morning,
but it was the least relaxing job of fishing that I have ever wit-
nessed. A secret service man stood at his elbow and another kept
watch from behind the bushes on the bank.
Once, for a week, I traveled in a private car with the president
of a great corporation. Every morning we left the car at eight
o'clock and called on dealers i# their stores. We lunched with a
group of them at noon, and had another group with us until mid-
night. At midnight we went to bed. to wake up the next morning
in another city and do the whole thing all over again.
It was a tougher week than any laborer ever spent.
The big jobs look attractive from a distance, but when you
get closer to them you find a large price tag pinned on each one.
Some of us who have been close enough to read the figures
on the tags find it quite easy to reconcile ourselves to remaining
quietly and contentedly below.

Tunney, told me what occured after the final Dempsey
fight.

FEAR
Fear lays down the bars for the energy to come on. Pitiful
indeed is the man or woman who lives in fear of something which
exists only in the imagination. A state of mind like that will, in
time, reduce the body to a state of confirmed invalidism.
The scared man invariably bestirs himself to find a means
of keeping out of harm's way. He will bite at every fake—every
nostrum that is heralded as a preventive or cure of disease. He
will dig up his last cent to pay for something that is daily dinned
into his ears by radio, or spread before his eyes in the blatant
advertisement ... He keeps himself in a state of mental unrest,
which in time will lead to real illness.
If a shrewd commercialist invente a fad these days, and re-
sorts to high-power advertising, he reaps a harvest of shekels
from the gullible masses; and there are many shrewd commercial-
ists these days. A million lies have been circulated about meats;
more about good, wholesome bread; as many more about the
honest old coffee-berry; a million harmful—positively damaging
fads have been set afloat by the promoters of "health foods," to
supplant the countryman's honest square meal of hog-jowl and
greens.
Americans have a way of carrying everything too far—
especially if they get scared into a "health diet," Listen: there
is no better "health food" than a contented mind, a good country
table and a sourd appetite. If I were giving boiled-down advice,
after many years of experience, I would embody it in a few words
—don't eat too much£ Eat what you like, and that means what
"agrees" with you; it means the food that you never hear of any
more after you swallow it. So long as you live along that way,
you are using the best preventive of disease known.
Fear of disease will bring disease, or about the same, it keeps
one unhappy. Courage and confidence lead to better digesting,
and make fc~ a better citizenship and a fatter purse.
