Do you ever, take an Inventory, so
to speak, of your kitchen utensils
and weed out the old and worthless
to make way for the new and neces-
sary? Things weaO out, fashions and
methods and Improvements are con-
stantly being made in the manufac-
ture of kitchen wares. For the sake
of economy and efficiency, it's quite
aS imiwrtant for* the housekeeper to
have a full set of good tools as it Is
for the carpenter or plumber.
Sharp knives, brad blunt knives,
stiff knives, limber knives, one long
two-tincd fork, one short thrcn-tln-
cd fork, assorted spoons and a pair
of scissors are as necessary in the
kitchen as the bits of chisels and
saws and hammers In the carpen-
ter's tool chest. More than this, the
housekeeijcr uses her (tools three
times a day. 365 days in the year,
rain or shine, Sunday or holiday.
A nickel or bent-edged paring
knife is worthless in the kitchen and
should be replaced by a good steel
knife that! will stand sharpening. A
paring knife is a delicate tool and
should not be used for scraping pots
and pans nor for prying off refrac-
tory lids. If a good price is paid for
a stainless steel paring knife with
a sharp, easily turned edge design-
ed especially for paring, the money

is poorly invested unless intelligent
carc is given to the knife. Don't cut
down on a hard surfacc with a par-
ing knife. Fo instance, when minc-
ing parsley, put the parsley on a
small board rather than on an old
plate or saucer. A sharp knife is an
economical device In that thinner
wrings can be taken in less time,
hereby saving both time and food.
A long, thin, case knife with a
round end is valuable for cutting
butter, spreading sandwiches or
toast, putting on some kinds of cake
frostings, and cleaning vegetables.
Very often the stiffness of a case
knife makes It possible to loosen
some tiny corner which has stuck
in cooking. After gently prying
loose with the case knife, the spat-
ula can be slipped under and the
article turned or removed without
breaking.
It would be almost impossible for
me to keep house without one of
these long, broad, limber spatula.*.
They arc used if or turning pancakes
and any vegetable or meat that is
browned on top of the stove. The
flexibility of the blade makes it pos-
sible to slip it under a cake to the
pan to remove it without breaking.
It also Ls convenient to run around
and under the contents of a mold.
When baking cookies, the spatula
will be used to remove them from
the molding board and again to re-
move them from the baking sheet.
A light, fluffy cake frosting Is
spread with the spatula and the last
trace of the frosting ls removed
from the platter or mixing bowl j
with the same tool. A spatula will j
save many tlmas its cost Just by I
being the means of using every bit!
of batter, frosting, pudding, omelet I
or anything that must bd mixed in
a bowl.
A sharp, thin bladed knife for cut-
ting bread and cakes should be kept
for these purposes only. This knife
should not be put with other kitch-
en knives and forks but placed
where It will not bo nicked or nib-
bed to dull its edge.
With reasonable care, good knives
will last for years and add much to
the pleasure of cooking.

By ARCHER FULL1NGIM
Find me a man or a woman —ex-
cept J. S. Wynne or J. L. Stroope—
who has been a resident of this .ac-
tion of the Panhandle for 49 years.
I'd like to see the color of his eyes
—and talk to him an hour or two.
They're pretty hard to find.
Take Mr. Stroope. Six months' af-
ter Mr. Wynne showed up on the
pampaf, M*. Stroope followed a
herd of D. B. L. cattle from Shack-
leford county to the Panhandle in
1881 and he's been in this "neck of
the woods" ever since.
"Mr. Strope, I'll admit before I
ask the question thai. It's a trite
question, but I'd .lust like to know
what's the most, thrilling event or
experience in your life?"
"Well. I'll tell you. Slim, I reckon
that I've never liked anything better
than just ruiuilng cattle . . . ridln'
and ropln' and tying them."
And come to think about it, who'd
want anything more thrilling than
that? "But wc can't all be cowboys,"
answered the office rat. Mr. Stroope
can't remember when he learned to
ride a horse. He remained a cowboy
until he was 36 years old. It has been
five years since he rode a how
last , . . but he has plans for the
future despite his 09 years. He no
longer pounds leather but he still
has one cowboy habit. Mtrs. Stroope
thinks he never will give it up; He
still likes to roll his own. "Why, I
bet I've smoked this room full of
bull durliaml" he declared yester-
day. "I can't get the taste I want In
these ready-mades."
Here Since 1919
Mr. Stroope has been living in
Pampa since 1919. He has been liv-
ing at his residence at 102 West
Browning sincc 1022. He and Mrs.
Strocpc moved to town to send their
daughter, Miss Donnic L. Stroope,
to school, he explained. Next year.
Mr. Stroope declared, he is going
back to Ills farm and raise wheat.
'Onc-tliird of a crop doesn't go
very ;far on 50-cent, wheat," he said.
Mr. StrooiM? formerly owned the lots
on which the First Methodist church
is now locatcd. His farm is 14 miles
cast of Pampa.
Mr. Stroope was born in Lafayette
county, Arkansas, Sept. 4, 1861.
Wli-n four years old he moved with
his mother to Meridian, Texas, in
Bosque comity. He attonded his first
school there in a building made of
lime rocks. His mother later moved
to StephonviUe and bought a farm
three miles from that town. In 1870
he moved with Ills parents to the
Chickasaw nation in the Indian ter-
ritory Some of Mr. Stroope's most
lasting Impressions concern the
Chickasaw*. Comanchcs, Kiowas
and Seminole Indians.
In 1879, Mr> Stroope came back to
Erath county, Texas, where his
brother. Oliver, lived. In 1880 he
went to work for the M. H. A. out-
fit on the Clear Fork of the Brazos
river j In Shackle lord county, hording
horses and helping with the cattle.
In 1881. he want to work for Turner
Titus and hdi>ed bring a herd of
D. B .L. cattle to the Panhandle.
He furnished Ills own horse and got
$25 a month. Cow-punchers in the
'eighties seldom drew more than; $30
or $30 a month. In 1882 he made hh
first and only trip over the trail
with a herd of cattle to Dodgo City.
In 1883, Mr. Stroope began riding
for the LX ranch. The next year he
went to New Mexico, near Red Rlv-
or Springs and worked for Lackey
and McLainar at a salary of $30 a
month. In 1886 he cain? back to the
Panhandle and worked for the LX
people until 1888. During the sum-
mer months, he was an "outside
man"; that is, he rode from place
to place to "work" the cattle on
outside ranges. In '88, he came back
to Bin th county but the next year
saw him in the Panhandle again;
this time on the T-Anchor ranch.
In '91 and '92 he worked on Uie
Quarter Circle Heart ranch near
Clarendon, and in '93 for old J. M.
Shclton down south of Mobeetie.
Soon afterward. Mr. Stroope ac-
quired a small bunch of cattle and
grazed them down on McClellan
creek in Gray comity. In '95, he
punchcd cattlei for old man Minor.
At the beginning of the century,
Mr. Stroope sold his cattle and
bought a livery stable In Miami. He
0|>cratcd this almost two years and
then traded it for his farm in the
Farrington community. Thereafter,
Mr. Stroop© kept away from the
ranges and s'uck to farming. In
1906, at tho age of 46. Mr. Stroope
married Miss Donnic Stone of Ivan,
Texas. Their only child, Miss Donnic
Leo strooiK, is a graduate of Pampa
high school, and;has attended Sim-
mons university and West Texas
State Teachers college.
After coming to the Panhandle
ranches, Mr. Stroope specialized in
SCIIOOI, FlINM READY
AUSTIN, March 3. (/ ')—bupt. S.
M. N. Ma its announced today lie
was ordering the payment ol an ad-
ditional $4 of the per capita appor-
tienmnnt. to public schools between
now and March 10.
The amount to be paid Is $6,252,-
000. After this payment, the state
will Mtill owe $8 of this year's per
rapita apportionment. The total Is
$17.50. The state is $1 behind 1U
standing at the fame .line a year
ago.
roping, and many an old timer here
will tell you he was pretty good at
it. Mr. Stroope hasn't got much use
for rodeos. Tho best thing, he de-
clared. at the rodeo here in the
summer of 1929 was when the rodeo
performers milked wild cow —which
of course has nothing to do with
duplicating ranch life of the otd
west, "Whoever heard of bull-dof-
ging on the ranches here back in
the 'eighties?" he asks sarcastical-
ly. "Bulldogglng steers was nem
heard cf until the rodeos invented
It. The boys did bulldog a calf
sometlnucs; they roped the steers
and tied them down."
The buffalo herds were gone when
Mr. Stroope beean riding the Texas
pampas, but a stray would be seen
now and then. He shot a buffalo
calf just west of Panhandle after
some of the boys working with him
had run it about 12 miles.
Mr. Stroope says tills winter ha*
been tlie warmest he has evef seen
licrc. Mrs. Strooiio says she has not
seen such a fine winter since she
cam here In 1906. Both agree that
the winters! of '06 and 'U wen the
hardestv ever known in the Panhan-
dle.
One of the things Mr. Stroope has
definite ideas about is prohibition.
Like Mr. Wynne, Mi*. Lovett and
other old timers, Mr. Stroope be-
lieves that prohibition, under pres-
ent enforcement methods, is a fail-
ure. What Mr. Stroope objects to
most in the present system is that
boys can buy all the whiskey they
want from the bootleggers. "In the
old days," lie pointed out, "no hoy
could enter a saloon, and IT he did
lie was chucked out mighty quick."
That procession of colorful per-
sonalities — Temple Houston, CoL
Goodnight and others—who made
the Panhandle an interesting and
delightful place to live in the 'eigh-
ties were all known to Mr. Stroope
Of Temple Houston, son of Sam
Houston, Mr. stroope said, "you
talk about your lawyers—he was one
that could make your hair stand
on end."
