A nice WWII recipe Recipe from Cookery In War Time 1939  

 From Kansas Farmer February 7th 1914

I know it is past Christmas but these recipes from WWII are worth checking out. Also it is interesting to see that “Xmas” was in use long before the digital age.  

 From the Kansas Farmer 1914

 This doll called Princess Tambon is a cloth lithograph doll that was offered in the Kansas Farmer in 1914. Lithograph dolls where popular. I had to do some hunting to find images of the real doll. I found her on  https://www.liveauctioneers.com  I was just curious to see if any still existed and what they looked like. I think I like the lithograph dolls, some are rather nice pieces of art. Kansas Farmer also offered patterns in 1914
