UNIFORM PROGRAM
ADOPTED FORT RACES
Fairmont Fair to Have 10
Races, Each Calling For
$1,000 Purse.

Uniform racing programs for the an.
nual fairs to be held this year at
Parkersburg, Fairmont and Ciarks-
burg have been adopted by represen
tatives OF the three fair associations
at a meeting Just held in Clarksburg.
Each fair will offer purses OF $1,000
each for 13 races. In addition driv.
ers' purse OF $1,000 is to be awarded,
as follows: $500 to the driver who
wins the most races at the three
fairs with the same horses, $500 to the
second and 5000 to the third. The en-.
trance fee is to be 10 per cent, or $50
horse. In this connection novel
and liveral provision was made,
namely. that all horsemen who are
present with their horses when the
race starts and whose horses are not
distanced III the first heat shall have
their entry fees back along with our
per cent. interest. The entry books
will close April 10 but payments will

Christen Rando Baby
At the County Jail
CEREMONY PERFORMED BY REV.
FATHER scHoENAN-cHILD
MAY DIE SOON.

Little Antonio Rando. aged but two
months. was christened last night in
the Office of the county Jail by the
Rev. Father P. ]. Shoenen, pastor OF
the st. Joseph's Roman Catholic
church, with John Torcha and Mrs
Torcha as sponsors. 1t was pathetic
scene, for the pale and sickly little
youngster is entering life under Sc
rious handicap.
His father is Charles Rando, self
confessed leader in the Famiglia Vaga
honda, who escaped the hangman's
moose or long term in the peniten'
tray by turning states evidence
against his own companions accused
Of murder and conspiracy in connec
ton with the double killing at Kilarm
last Christmas Eve. Torcha, the Spon-
sor, also escaped punishmnt b turn
ing states evidence.
Mrs. Rando, the baby in her arms,
came to the jail last night and asked
the officers to see her husband. who is
still imprisoned. She declared that
the child was in danger of dying. and
that the solemn ceremony Of christen.
ig had not been performed.
Mrs. V. |. Cadara. the kindly court
interpreter, called Father Schooner
on the telephone and arranged for the
Torchas to stand as sponsors and soon
the ceremony was performed and the
mother left the Jail happier than she
has been since the crime was com.
mitted. She is now living in Fair
mont, where she will be joined by her
husband as soon as he Is deceased.

PROPER FOOD FOR LUNCH
BOX FOR THE CHILDREN

Cold lunches at their very best are
not so. very good, and those carried
BY the average school child are far
from being what they ought to be.
either from q hygienic or an aesthetic
standpoint.
At some Of the schools hot dishes
may be bought for a few cents, and
they go a long way toward solving
the problem. Bnt in most OF the
schools the child has to depend on
what can be carried from home.
Breakfasts are eaten all too hurri.
eddy and more titan one child goes to
his morning work insuftlcieutly nour.
sished. All the more reason, then,
that the MONDAY lunch contain just
1.-THE food which will satisfy and nour-
Dish him without overlooking the
4 stomach thus making the child dull
land stupid for the afternoon session.
First Of all, the lunch should be
attractive and clean. Children have
not always the robust appetites that
the story books picture, and 1t is an
astonishing fact, but true, neverthe-
less, that girls and boys who come
from well,to-do homes sometimes
carry lunches that are anything but
sanitary.

Wicker Lunch Hampers.

The house mother should give each
school child little wicker luncn
hamper If they will carry It. This
y Is much better than the leather and
Scomposition ones, as it can be scalded
out and kept sweet and clean. Boys.
4most boys at least, have a deep-rooted
aversion to any outward and visible
sign Of a lunch box, SO cracker and
candy boxes should be saved for their
lunches.
Next should come a drawer where
the lunch things are kept. In 1t
1 should be a roll of parafIne paper,
paper napkins (the cheap ones which
are bought by the hundred). a ball OF
cord, pair of scissors and some white
Wrapping paper. Some quarter.pint
Jelly glasses with the close-ftting tin
covers should be added, and If it is
possible the equipment should be
crowned with one of the one-halr pint
thermos bottles which are made es-
pescially for the lunch box. In it hot
4 soup or cocoa can be carried, or milk
can be kept cold and sweet. A cup
( of hot matted milk at noon would
mean much to a delicate child and

vegetable soup.
