set on thte a two quart tin or gran-ite-waro
pail with a tight fitting lid;
pack the packing material solidly
about the bucket to the top of it,
pounding down to make it firm; if
packed firm enough the pail can be
lifted in and out without disturbing
the packing. A cushion, or pillow
made of the same' material as the
packing, covered with a washable
cover, should be placed on top of the
pail, and a cover to the box should
be made with hinges and clamp, so
It can be fastened down tightly to re

firm will send you a book of recipes
for using the cooker they advertise,
and you can use the directions for
time of cooking before setting your
food in your own "home-made"; and
you will soon learn how to manage it.
The home-made cooker will cook ce
reals, meats cooked in water, and
many other foods.
MRS. W. J. BRYAN SPEAKS TO
OAKHURST GRADUATES
From the Asheville Times, June 9.
The commencement exercises of
the Oakhurst School for Girls came
to a close this morning when the
closing exercises were held at the
Masonic temple, in which Mrs. "Wil
liam Jennings Bryan made the prin
cipal address. A large audience
greeted the wife of the famous com
moner and her simple, yet humorous
speech, well repaid them for coming
in such bad weather.
The exercises were opened by the
audience singing "America." Rev. F.
W. Stanton led in prayer and the
singing of "When Life is Brightest,"
followed. In a clear and most pleas
ing voice, Miss Anna Rankin gave a
reading. She was followed by Miss
Virginia Lee who played two selec
tions on the piano. They were greatly
enjoyed by the audience.
The valedictorian, Miss Sarah Test,
read a most interesting paper on
"Efficiency In the Home."
In presenting the diplomas to the
five graduates, Miss J. B. Gray, prin
cipal of Oakhurst, gave a short
sketch of the development and
growth of the public and private
schools in Asheville. She told of the
establishment of the public school
system in Asheville nearly 30 years
ago, by a majority of only one vote
cast at the election. She referred to
the first superintendent of the city
schools, Dr. P. P. Claxton, who is
now United States commissicner of
education. She also referred to Dr.
J. D. Eggleston, who was afterwards
superintendent of education in Vir
ginia, but now president of V. P. I.
in Virginia. She praised the work
begun by them in Asheville and de
clared it to be a great compliment to
this city that these two men started
their educational work in Asheville.
She "eferred to the high standing f
Asheville's two best priva' . schools,
Bingham and Asheville School for
Boys, and to ot'.er Asheville private
schools. She impressed upon the
minds of those present the necessity
for high grade private schools for
B'rls.
Former Governor Locke Craig, in
presenting Mrs. Bryan, expressed the
grat'fication of Asheville and North
Carolina in 'a ing Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan make Asheville their summer
home. At the beginning of his short
'ntroduction speech, he referred to
the famous commoner in fitting
Phrase. "Twenty-one years ago there
was accorded me the great privilege
of presenting what was then the
hope of America," was his thought
in the first part of his speech when
he was telling of Mr. Bryan coming
to Asheville. He fittingly introduced
Mrs. Bryan as the great help-mate
and mainstay and support of her d's
tinguished husband; Mrs. Bryan
The Commoner

KEEPING IT SEOIU2T
A woman asked her now maid to
post several letters for hor, and
afterwards learned that two of tho
envelopes had not been ad
dressed. "Why did you mall them when
you saw they were not addressed 7"
sho questioned the maid.

straight one-piece skirt I giitlirad to
the waist.
