We'v* got to get those of Wondrosoap back before ROMANCE the damage gets too great. May- be that ad will bring them in." Kay read it slowly. ''What did the advertising manager at the paper 'sav when you told him?" "He raised almighty He was a bit perturbed," Ted amended. "Said that the paper took our advertising in good faith that the cleaner had been thoroughly test- ed and was entirely harmless and was all that we said it was. When Flynn assured him that we would make good ail damages he agreed to run this ad. But Wondrosoap U dead, killed. It committed sui- cide." Kay nodded. "I know it. Some- thing went wrong. Do you lup- pose Dad never tested it? Those labels on the can " "I don't know. We're in for a bit of trouble from the federal government, too, Flynn tells me. But that's his worry. I've, got plenty of my own." "I don't know where we'r go- ing to get enough money," Kay aid. "Refund on 2500 cans of Wondrosoap at 50 cents a can is $1250. Each dealer will keep the profit he made for goodwill. We're out just $500 and that's not counting anything for da- mages." As it happened, the damages were not as great as they had been expected. Ted's plan to have each person who received a free can gign for it made it easy to check up on 1500 purchasers if sitting patiently at th tele- phone for eight hours a day, driv- ing all over town and listening to complaints can be called easy. The dealers were glad to co- operate when Kay and Mary CHAMPION PLOWMEN TAKE TRIP BY PLANE The. Salada Tea Company's Championship class at the International Plowing; Match held near Peterborough last Fall brought together top rank horse plowmen from all parts of the Province. Elmer Armstrong of St. Pauls (right), Gold Medallist, laid Marshall Deans, Paris (left), Silver Medallist, accompanied by VV. C. Baa-rie of Gait, are eon ready to board, a plane commencing the valuable trip that was offered as first and second prizes. Tune peing an important factor to apiculturists, they elected to travel by air and within nine days they visited such points as Winnipeg, Portage La Prairie, Retina, Van- couver and Lethbridge, One of the highlights of their journey was the stop off at Portage La Prairie where they participated in the Manitoba Provincial Flowing Match, June 24th. At experimental stations they visited and at meetings they attended, they were afforded the opportunity of exchanjrm and fudying new ideas, particularly labour-saving devices and other aids *o irreater efficiency on the farm. The trip was arranged by Mr. J. A. Carroll, Manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Association. Plowing Matches which are conducted by local branches through- cut the country, play an important part in the production of food for war, for they encourage the better plowing and cultivation of th land so essential for maximum production. SUMMER DAYS ARE PICNIC DAYS Bj BARBARA B. BROOKS NVith the open road calling to hikers and cyclisu, meandering tneals are the order of the day, and that means picnics. The soldier home on furlough will enjoy a picnic home-packed tyle, as a change from camp rations. Picnic lunches fall into two groups, the kind that is cooked on the spot over an open fire, and the kind that's packaged at home all ready t eat. For the packed lunch, sandwiches are the primary consideration. But for health's and variety's sake that's just the beginning. Home-canned tomato juice is wonderful for just such occasions. Deviled eggs also perk up the shoebox lunch. For dessert, nothing hits the spot quite as well as fresh frnit juicy oranges; ripe cher- ries; sweet, juice-filled pears and apples. There must be a home- made cookie or two to go with it, too for nibbling along the way. Everyone adores the crisp, crunchy cereal kind, especially when it is rich with peanut butter, as in this new recipe for peanut butter squares. Sandwich fillings are seldom made from written recipes. They are a blend of the cook's ingenuity and whatever her refrigerator holds. If roast beef was the piece de resistance the night before, take the left-over beef, chop it fine, season it with Worcestershire sauce and a dash of horse-radish, and spread between two pieces of bread. Do the same with tongue. Lamb, on the other hand, calls for less spicy treatment. Merely slice it, chop some of the mint that went with it the day before, and add a thinly sliced piece of onion and a sprig of water cress. Should there be pork in the icebox, spread chopped sweet pickle over it, and add salad dressing and lettuce. A change in bread does magic tricks with sandwiches, too. If the bread is homemade, butter aione is almost enough filling. Here is a recipe for an unusual tea bread made with corn flakes. Spread with cream cheese, it makes a super, super sandwich: Corn Flake Tea Bread 2 cups corn flakes 1 tablespoon sugar Ss cake compressed yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk m tablespoons incited shortening 2S cups (about) flour Roll corn flakes into ery fine crumbs. Crumble yeast into a bowl. Scald milk and cool to lukewarm temperature; add to yeast, stirring until yeast is dissolved. Add sugar, salt, shortening and half the flour; beat until smooth. Combine corn llake crumbs with remaining flour and add to dough, mixing we'.!. Turn onto floured board and knead until smooth. Place dough in greased bowl, brush with melted fat, cover, set in a warm place and let rise until double in bulk. Punch down and shape into loaf. Place in greased loaf pan and brush with melted fat. Cover and let rise again until double in bulk. Bake in moderately hot oven (42oF. I 15 minutes, reduce heat to 375T. and bake about 45 minutes longer. Yield: 1 loaf (4 1 * x 8-inch pan). Peanut Butter Square* 'a cup butter " cup peanut butter S pound marshmailows 1 package oven-popped rice (about 2 1 * dozen) cereal (54 oz. ) Cook butter and marshmailows in double boiler. Add peanut butter; beat thoroughly to blend. Put oven-popped rice cereal in large buttered bowl and pour on marshmallow mixture, stirring briskly. Press into shallow buttered pens. Cut into squares when cool. Yield: 32 squares I 2 8 x 8-inch pans). sought their help. The girls ex- plained in detail how Kay had inherited the business, how they had taken it for granted that Tim Donovan would never have made Wondrosoap without testing it fully, and how each dealer would ba allowed to keep his profit pro- vided the Wondrosoap was re- turned The dealers were nice about it all. It was two weeks before tht warehouse had its full quota of a million cans of Wondrosoap again. Flynn came out to see Kay and Ted. "I'm buying into this company, if you'll let me." he said. "I'll take care of all the costs and damages for a fourth interest." Kay refused. "I won't let you give me this money. I'll sell the factory, sell the land. We'll pay out. And we'll dump the Won- drosoap in the river. You're aw- fully sweet. Mike, but I can't let you do this for me." "It's not myself alone," Flynn told her. "MacLeod and Goldberg are in on this, too. The firm is buying in. "Listen to me, child. I knew your dad, better than anyone else. Tim Donovan may have made a lot of mistakes, but he would never have made one like this. I'm sure of that. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for Tim. "The damages won't be as big as you thought they would be. My car was the only one hurt. thank heaven, and we'll write that off. The rest is principally cloth- ing. We've got a signed release from every person who bought a can of the stuff they sijriiod it when they got their money back and anyone who ha.l a claim has been paid in full. It cost us about $2000. We got off e:i.y." "But, Mike "We're not finished. We're in- corporating this company You. Kay, as president and principal stockholder, will keep 51 shares. Ted will hold 23, and MacLeod, Goldberg and Flynn will get 21." "But we'll never be able to sell the stuff now," Ted put in, gloom- ily. "The market has folded. The product is no good. We're whipped. Kay's got the right idea. Sell the plant, ilinup the stuff in the drink." Flynn waited until Ted was finished. He could see that Kay agreed with the boy. "All vitfht," Mike began, "you've all had your say now. You're ready to t|uit without a battle. "Listen to me for just a min- ute. This stuff will clean metal. You've proved that. It will take the paint off metal clean as a whistle. You can look jit my car if you doubt that. "So what? If you haven't got an all-purpose cleaner, you have got a cleaner for metal. Sell it on that basis. There still is a market 1'or a cleaner like that!" Ted's grin returned. "Say! You're ri;:ht! 1 never thought of that angle." Kay brightened moii'cntarily, then her gloom rtti'.nu-i'. "It mi;:ht work," she a.'riitt. .i. "But how can \vc be ;:io I'.ut it won't eat right through the metal? We don't even know what's in it." Flynn had thought of that, too. "You'll have to hire a chemist, let him try it out, thoroughly, this time," he advised. "When we know all there is to know about this cleaner Tim invented, we'll sell it again under a differ- ent name." He turned to Ted. "That will be your job, young man. "Meanwhile we'il pay the bills and the chemist's salary until we get on a paying basis. That's jost part payment for our interest." * Kay shook her head. "You're all being grand to me, but I can't take it," she said. "Ted is giving all his time to this job when he might be drawing good pay with a business that is not doomed before it starts. You and Mr. MacLeod and Mr. Gold- berg are doing this, not because you have any hope of saving Wondrosoap, but because you fee! sorry for me. "I'm licked, and I know when to quit. I can't ask you to go in on a losing proposition. I'll mort- gage this factory and site, hire the chemist as you say, Mike, but I'll do it alone. Then, if it fails again, I'll be the only one to take a loss." "I'm sticking with you, Kay." Ted sounded determined. "Thanks. Ted, but I can't let you. I'll pay you $1000, salary and goodwill, for your quarter interest in Wondrosoap. I'll pay tile other bills, too. Mike. Will Jim arrange the mortgage?" They ar>, :d for hours. Flynn *a a w.sard in a courtroom, hjt it took all his mastery to con- vince this sii.ii girl that he was not being charitable, that it was a sound business proposition bas- ed on his faith in Tim Donovan's* ability. Ted used all his salesmanship trying to seii her on the idea. They finally compromised. Kay gave in, with limitations. L'nder the new arrangement they were to hire the chemist as Mike had suggested, find out all they could about Wondrosoap. Then, at the end of a month all expenses would be totaled, ami if the product was still a failure the factory would be sold. Any profits that re- mained would be ilivide.i after Teds salary was paid. "The governmtM.t is looking for a new site for a powder plant," Flynn said. "We could sell them this one, and we'll >r,et more than the JfoOOO we promised you at first. The building alone is worth more than that. We'll come out on top, child, if you'll ju*t give us a little time." Ted lingered behind after Flynn had gone to start his car. He held Kay's hands tightly. "I'll stay with you just s long as you'll let me, Kay," he whis- pered. "This is more than just a business proposition with me. Uon't you imuiTstand. honey'."' Kay smiled up at him. "1 un- iK-r*tand, Ted. t!ut it's still strict- ly business." iCwntinued Next Week) The house-*!-;. ot att the "Housoldicrs' die kitchens the "Home Front".

CHAMBERS Honey Recipes I have many requests thvs week for recipes for honey as a substi- tute for sugar. And why not? Never in our lifetime have we ever heard such discussions on sugar rationing and now, that you all have your ration cards, you will be trying to use them to the best advantage. Do not be dis- couraged nor anxious for with careful cooking and no waste I believe you will find little change. After all we have been promised ugar for canning. Most of us eai far too many carbohydrates anyway. We are told that, along with our neigh- bors to the South of U. we are "a starch poisoned race'' and sugar being :he other carbohy- drate we may be able to say much about it too. Certainly those who find they must have sugar, and several lumps of it, in tea and coffee and heaps on their cereals and "what not'' are going to find they will feel much better in health and more able to perform the many tasks Mr "King and Country" which we are al. going to t>e called upon to do. 1 hope you will find these re- cipes some help: they come from the Depart: lunt of Agriculture laboratory at Ottawa.
