Ward is the superior of any shortstop

concerned.
His next gift will be Charley Hollo-

The Clarksburg baseball team rep
resenting the Clarksburg High has
met defeat for the first time this
year at the hands of the Fairmont High
school with score of s to 8. The
game was played last Saturday, May
5. This day happened to be a bad day
for baseball on account of the rain and
cold wind which distracted the interest
of the crowd and players from the
game to small extent. Nevertheless
a clean game was played, which meant
victory for the Fairmont High.
Paul Hess pitched the game for Fair
mont, and Lewis for Clarksburg' 1t
may be said, if not enacted, that Clarks'
burg needs little more training in
"pegging" Some of the wild throws
saved a score for Fairmont, several
times. The crowd attending was en-
tirely a stag group. The weather man
was to blame for the absence OF the
fair sex.
Fairmont High has been defeated for
the past four years by the Clarksburg
team. Therefore this game makes an
epoch in baseball for F. H. S.

TRY THIS COOKER
DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARATION
 OF KITCHEN UTENSIL.
With Small Expenditure of Money and Time This Most Useful Ap- plianee Is at the Command
 Of Any Housewife.

fireleSs cooker capable of giving satisfactory service can be made in the home at slight expense, if direc- tions prepared by the office of home economics of the department of agri- culture are followed.
 The outside of the cooker may be q tightly built wooden box, an old trunk, n small barrel. large butter or lard tirkin or tin, or a large galvanized iron bucket with close-htting cover. In general, q well-built, conveniently sized box is perhaps most satisfactory, though the cookers entirely encased in metal have the advantage of being ire proof.
 If q box is to be used, its size will depend on the size of the cooking ket tie to be used in it and on whether there are to be one or two compart- ments. It must be large enough to allow for Ut least four inches of pack ing material all around the nest in which the cooking kettle is to be placed. For the sake of cleanliness and convenience the nest should be lined with metal and should be a trifie larger than the cooking utensil, If an extra source of heat. such as q hot brick or plate, is to be used a metallic lining for the nest is imperative. For this purpose d galvaniZed-iron or other metal bucket may be used or, better still, tinsmith can make d lining of galvanized iron or zinc which can be provided with a rim to cover the pack ing material. In case no hot stone or plate is to be used in the cooker. the lining can be made of strong card board.
 For the packing and insulating ma terial variety of substances may be used. Asbestos and mineral wool are good and have the additional adyan- tage that they do not burn. Ground cork (such as is used In packing Malaga grapes). hay, excelsior. Span iSh moss, wool and crumpled paper nay also be used satisfactorily. Of
