The lecturer demonstrator, Mrs
Elinor Meachan Redington, was in
troduced by Mr.. W. R. Skey, special
representative for the O.-W. R. & N
company, who is in charge OF the ap-
ple cookery demonstration car, in q
few remarks stating the object of the
'O.-W. r. & N. in going to the large
expense incurred in this educational
campaign of apple cookery-to be the
desire of this pioneer company to the
increase in demand for apples for home
consumption thus bringing about the
prosperity of the apple grower by ma
king a home market for his products
IN view of the lessened demand from
foreign markets on account OF the war
conditions.
Mrs. Redington opened her lecture
by saying that she thought poor Mother
Eve was hardly to be censured for
eating that apple" SO long ago, II the
apples in Eden were as inticing as the
apples of the present time.
Apple pie making with recipes OF
various flake and puff pastry was the
topic for the afternoon. Mrs. Myrtle
WYATT. assistant to Mrs. Redington,
served samples of real old fashioned
apple pie and apple cakes at the close
of the lecture.
The evening lecture in apple cookery
was largely attended by representa-
tive people Of Moscow Mrs. Redlng-
ton was introduced by Mr.. w. +. Skey
who gave a simple but effective les
son in apple knowledge by showing
various kinds of apples and giving
time of use, time of storage, eating and
cooking qualities, etc.

books of the kind that interest grown
people as WE'LL Most of them are pros

exhibits, in spite of distance.
It will hardly be possible to extend

.FAYRE ELECTED
AS DELEGATE
IDAHO STUDENT BODY ELECTION
YESTERDAY AT UNIVERSITY
WAS SPIRITED
VIII Represent Idaho at Biennial Con-
fernece of Northwest Colleges at
Spokane This Week

c. E Favre, the university graduate
manager, was yesterday elected as Ida
hos student delegate to the big BIZ
ennial conference of Northwestern col
leges to be held at Spokane, Decem-
Der A and 5. Arthur Jardine was
Favre's rival candidate for the posi-
ton but the graduate manager was
elected by two to one vote.
Several important questions will be
up for discussion at this years meet
| ing. Probably more important than
any of the others will be the question
of admitting Gonzaga, Montana, and
willamette into the Northwest Con-
ference. The effect of w. S. C.'s lack
of rating among the universities of the
country on conference eligibility rules
will be considered and some action
will probably be taken in regard to
the playing of summer baseball by
conference athletes. The regular
business of the meeting will also in
|clude the arranging Of basketball, base
ball and football schedules for the en-
sting year.
The student delegate election was
pulled off yesterday, having been post
poned from the regular student body
meeting of Wednesday because of the
absence of the football team Favre
received 172 votes and Jardine got
SO. H. H. Beier and Sherman Gregory
were the judges of the election.
