s.. * High School Notes *. t.

Friday night Dec. 9Th, the High
School basket ball team met and
defeated the Lancaster Academy
team 20 II.
The game fast and interesting to
watch. The visitors showed vast
improvement over a week ago
when the |. P. H. S. boys treated
them to defeat of 40 to- IA on
their own floor.
The local boys have been some
what handicapped for lack of op-
posing practice Mr.. Thibadeau has
been unsuccessful in getting up a
second team for that purpose. 1t
seems to be the opinion among the
boys that if they are not good
enough to play on the first team,
they are not good enough to play at
all.
This is bad stand to take. 1t
shows poor spirit it puts competition
on the SHELF and it does not give
the boys who are representing the
school fair play. A coach can
not keep a team in shape without
giving them practice and he can not
give them practice unless he has
players to put up for opposition.
Let's break the spell fellows, let's
get out and work, let's show the
boys who have played SO well thus
far that we are with them. Let's
remember that there is always a
place for the best man.
A superfiuity of fouls proved
costly to the home boys. Dis
regarding this, however, they all
played hard.
Adams was the backbone of the
Lancaster outfit.

In cooking this fact should be re-
membered above al lothers: good
cook never wastes. II Is her pride TO
make the most of everything In the
shape OF food intrusted To her care
and her pleasure to serve II In the
most appetizing form. In no other
way can she prove her excellence, Tor
poor cooks are always wasteful ana
etxravagant.
Poor cookers waste no more food
thnn poor grocers. Other things being
euual they are rivals in this sad busi-
ness. And then the shipper or the
agent OF shipping. In the winter there
is often a wholesale waste of vegeta-
blcs because they get frostbitten.
Certain fruit and vegetable stores
salvage celery by cutting off the stems
of stalks and inbunches of celery that
are not dilapidated, when they tie In

as possible. If they are at all damp
the stems split as we would expect,
since we know how TO make fringed
celery.
And hen we get these home We
should cook them at once. Diced ana
cooked celery may be added cold to
various soups like potato and bean
with the water in which is was cooked
to flavor them. Cooked celery IL
cream with II little cheese and other
seasoning. baked for 10 minutes in the
oven, is delicious and II takes hardly
more than a tablespoon of cream and
a tablespoon of grated cheese per por-
tion of celery which may be saved in
one large dish or more daintily, per
haps, in individual portions.

Production of Tungsten Ores in 1918.

The production of tungsten ores in the United States in 1918. according to preliminary statistics collected by Frank l.. Hess, of the United States Geological Survey, Department Of the Interior, was equivalent to 5.065 short tons of concentrates, carrying GO per cent. tungsten trioxide, Of which 5,015
 tons valued at S5 156,50O, was mar keted or consumed by the producers and 50 tons was reported as left on hand at the mines at the end of the year. Although the output was very large, it was less than that of the two previous years-191G, with 5.923 tons, valued at S12,07j, lOG. and 1917, with 6,144 tons, valued at s67S3. 400. The production in 1917 was the largest made by any country. although it was much smaller than the combined out put of the countries under British rule.
