A Community “Bake” 
While I am no authority on clambakes 
I will endeavor to tell you something 
about the “bakes” we serve in our com 
munity annually. Church and Grange 
have their annual bakes, and besides fam¬ 
ilies get together for a reunion and feast. 
We figure on feeding 500 usually, aud 
this necessitates planning ahead and ap¬ 
pointing committees. 
The chef attends entirely to the sea¬ 
soning and cooking, assisted by several 
helpers. He has large tin containers in 
which wire baskets fit nicely, and under 
which a brisk fire is kept. Each basket 
contains individual bakes and of the 
following variety ; 
Two Irish and one sweet potato, one 
or two ears of sweet corn, from 10 to 20 
clams, and a portion of chicken, seasoned 
with pepper and salt and tied in a square 
of cheesecloth. Sometimes fish is added 
and is seasoned and. tied in cloth like the 
chicken. Frankforts are heated thorough¬ 
ly and served with the bakes. The rest 
of the menu consists of both white and 
brown bread, pickles, coffee, celery, apple 
and pumpkin pies. Sometimes salads and 
cake are included. 
The bakes do not take many hours to 
cook, perhaps three or four. We ladies 
find lots of work elsewhere than around 
the kettles that day. When the weather 
is favorable all the cooking is done out¬ 
doors ; in fact our community owns an old 
cook stove for the purpose for making 
coffee and heating dishwater. The best 
of coffee is used, as that alone puts the 
finishing touch for many to a perfect 
meal. 
In the forenoon bushels of potatoes are 
prepared by thoroughly scrubbing with 
brushes, thoroughly rinsing and only the 
bad spots cut out. The sweet potatoes 
get like treatment with as little scraping 
or cutting as possible to keep them look¬ 
ing well. They are usually cut in two. 
Sweet corn is prepared by cutting the 
ends off with a cleaver, removing the 
outer husks’ and silks. This reminds me 
not many years back Golden Bantam 
was new in our locality, and many did 
not touch it. thinking they were getting 
field corn. Now everyone picks for those 
sweet yellow ears. 
The chickens, after being picked, are 
split and quartered, and a quarter goes 
in each basket unless the chickens are 
exceptionally small. The giblets are 
cooked and ground and make a delicious 
sandwich filling for “extras.” The clams 
are hard to clean, and the men usually 
attend to that, scrubbing thoroughly with 
brushes and rinsing them well. 
Everything leans to the rustic. The 
tables are made of long boards and the 
seats beside them of plank. Tables seat 
two or three dozen people and are covered 
with white paper, and have bouquets of 
cultivated and wild flowers on them. 
iSometimes an orchestra or band fur¬ 
nishes music during the meal hours. The 
ice cream booth, where homemade ice 
cream is sold, attracts its share of cus¬ 
tomers and sometimes the ladies’ socie¬ 
ties sell fancy articles. 
Only a few years back bakes sold for 
50 cents each, but now, without fish, 
$1.50 is charged. It takes a large group 
of people to see it through, but 10 or 12 
tables can be served at once if each wai¬ 
tress understands her duty. 
City people love such an outing and are 
willing to pay for it, while we country 
folks are ready to earn it to swell the 
fund in our treasury (if there already 
be one there). 
In planning for such an affair a small 
committee first consults with the chef, 
who advises them on quantity of materials 
to purchase, and sometimes the goods are 
purchased through him. And the next 
day—were our feet ever so tired? And 
who wants to eat anyway? All seem to 
have lost that keen edge to a good ap¬ 
petite, but what of that? It surely was 
a merry crowd we served, and all w r ant 
to come again next year. 
If it had rained? Well, it didn’t, and 
for that we are thankful; only once did 
we get a soaking, but we had a large 
building to accommodate the crowd that 
gathered just the same, but it was a 
messy place to clean. As a last word— 
plenty of lights for the “supper” tables— 
plenty and then some more. 
It is pleasant to stand 'back a little 
and watch the tired and hungry faces; 
see their eyes light up as the first bakes 
are passed, hear the busy clatter of 
knives and forks, with only now and then 
spoken word. After the first few 
mouthfuls, when inner man is somewhat 
subdued, then begins the merry chatter 
which rises to a regular hum. 
This is what we inlanders know as a 
clambake, and the flavor is truly delight¬ 
ful. patsy’s wife.

The following amount is the usual allow¬

is required: four quarts long or soft shell

T HERE is no mystery about a 
private water system. Any home 
—anywhere—can nowadays enjoy 
the comfort and convenience of running 
water under pressure — just like city 
water service. 
But there is a difference in water 
systems. And to make it easy for you 
to select the best water system — the 
one that will give you the most service 
for the least money—we have prepared 
this helpful booklet “How to Choose a 
Water System.” Send for it today. 
Water 
Systems 
“Just Like City Water Service** 
are built in many sizes—both electric motor and gasoline engine driven. They are 
compact, powerful they give a lifetime of service with little or no attention. The 
cost of a complete Duro system is small compared to 
time and drudgery that it will save. There is no other 
one thing that will bring you as much comfort for the 
same amount of money. 
Ask the Duro owner. There is a Duro system near you. 
Many thousands of Duro systems are being installed 
this year. Why not investigate ?
