The first taste often makes a lasting impression, so new dishes, especially those prepared with unfamiliar foods, have a much better chance of becoming favorites if they are tasty and appealing. When an unfamiliar food is to be presented, try serving it in small quantities along with an old favorite or two. Very often a taste for it will be formed rapidly and portions can be increased as time goes by.

She made it herself, as a 4-H Club project. I was mighty proud* ilk! told her so." ** 'Do you know what this represents?' she asked with, a twinkle in her eye. 'It represents $18.75 I didn't have to pay out of my egg money, and therefore it means another War Bond toward going to school.' " ; r^She taught me a lesson, all righr. Guess I'd beenthinking too much about the things that can't be doflie today, instead of all the things that can." It's our part in this fight to keep the home front going with as little spending as possible, so that most of the country's money and productive strength can g<*into planes, ships and guns to win the war. For instance, you can invest in War Bonds the money you would normally be paying out for new machinery--machinery you can't get today. Then you'll be ready for the day when new equipment will be on the market again. War Bonds thus serve a double purpose. Today they buy "fighting tools" for our boys. Tomorrow they vill help to "re-tool" the farm. Thousands of owners and tenants on farms and ranches all over the country are already salting down their money in War Bonds against their future needs. Join them. Put every dollar you qui spare into your future. Do it with War Bonds! YOU NEVER GET LESS THAN YOU LEND! And you can get more than you invest. When held 10 years, Series E War Bonds yield ' 2.9% interest compounded semi-annually. : You get back $4 for every <3. Of course, no one should cash a Bond unless he has to; but if an emergency comes along, Uncle Sam will redeem them in cash-- at full purchase price--any time after you've held them 60 days.
