RECIPES
Cakes not accompanied by any
dainty dessert are sufficient for a
whole course. The most important,
part is the rich filling and elabor-
ate icings. Colored whipped cream
and custard, combined with nuts,
candies, fruits, jam and jellies,
make up the best part of the cake.
There are many uncooked icings
that are delicious. Try a one-piece
dessert next time and see what an
attractive cake you can make it.

5-8 cup sugar
1 egg
% cup stewed prunes
1M cup flour

SHRIMP STRIKE
SETTLED AT GALVESTON
Galveston shrimp dealers and
representatives of the Inland Boat-
men's Division of the CIO National
Maritime Union, which has organ-
ized Texas shrimpers, signed a con-
tract last night ending the strike
of the Galveston shrimpers, K. K.
Owen, joint agent here for the N.
M. U., announced.
Representatives of the dealers
yesterday consented to make the
expiration date of the contract Jan.
1, 1940, as desired by the union,
Mr. Owen said. The shrimpers re-
turned to work Sunday on a tem-
porary basis, pending negotiations,
but Monday night they rejected a
proposed contract which would have
expired on July 1, 1940,
The contract, which Owen said
was the first signed in Texas for
shrimpers, provides payment of 3c
per pound of shrimp to shrimpers,
the former price, and adjusts dif-
ferences growing out of alleged
discrimination against independent
shrimpers.—Galveston News.

SPECIALS ON PERMANENTS
ARE CONTINUED
The Peacock Beauty Salon will
continue special prices on Perma-
nents for one more week. This is
done for the benefit of the many
customers who were unable to take
advantage of these specials this
week due to Mrs, Margerum not
being able to be there every day.
MRS. J. R. WAGNER, Prop.
MEETING AT BLESSING
A public meeting will be held on
June 21st, 1939 at 8 p. m. in the'
Blessing Community House, Bless-1
ing, Texas, for the purpose of or-
ganizing a Cemetery Association!
in order to make the care and
maintenance of old Deming's Bridge]
or Hawley Cemetery on the Tres
Palacios, perpetual.
All descendents, relatives or
friends of anyone who is buried out
therp, are urged to attend this
meeting.
The place has been kept up beau-
tifully the last few years and looks
like a park now—but we do not
want it to grow up' in high weeds
and brambles as it used to be be-
fore Mrs. Smith and a few others
undertook it's care. We can incor-
porate, elect officers, decide on a
manager, decide on dues or sub-
scriptions by the year, and hold an
annual meeting to listen to finan-
cial and work reports. It will be
very simple if we just go ahead and
do it. We want as long a member-
ship list as possible and hope even
the very youngest of the descend-
ents will add their names to the
list.
Few Livestock
Stalls Remain
For Fall Fair
Exhibitors Urged by
Chairman to Make
Reservations Early
Only 16 stalls are left for horses,
colts or mules to be exhibited at the
Wharton-Matagorda County Fair,
it was reported yesterday by II. C.
Copenhaver, secretary-manager of
the fair association.
With available space being taken
up so rapidly, every farmer or
stockman in the county who intends
to exhibit horses, mules or colts is
urged to contact W. T. Orrell of
Ashwood, chairman of the live-
stock committee in Matagorda
County, and make proper reserva-
tions.
A fee of $1 is charged for each
stall, with owners providing feed
and bedding for their animals to be
exhibited. However, there will be
an attendant to take care of the
feeding of the stock if the owners
cannot be present, it was pointed
out.
Matagorda County had some
creditable exhibits in livestock at
the fair last year, Copenhaver stat-
ed, in urging citizens to get their
horses, mules and colts in shape for
exhibiting this fall.
"We must not fail to show the
state what real livestock we have
in this county," Copenhaver con-
cluded.
Persons unable to see Orrell to
make reservations can handle the
matter through the local secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce. One
dollar must, however, accompany
each reservation for a stall.
