COOKING SCHOOL WILL BE HELD !. FOR THREE DAYS At Home Economics Com mittee Headquarters,
 June 19, 20, q. SHOWER GIVEN
 FOR MISS HODG1Ns Leland Kusterer Wedding Celebrated Quietly
 Saturday.

One of the best ways of learning how to do thing is to see it done and hear it discussed. That is the purpose of having three days given entirely to teaching. One day will be devoted to canning, both fruits and vegetables and preserving and jelly making, another day will be de- voted to drying and the uses of dried products. This day will be especial Iy interesting because home dried and commercially dried fruHs and vege- tables are being used more and more The school will only deal with home dried foods and the main demonstra- ton will be in charge of Mrs. P. Au- l rilio and her assistants. These wom- en come from countries where dry ing has always been a part of their yearly program and they can tell us perhaps better than any others, how best to dry in our homes. Another day will be given over to wheatless | breads and pastries. The classes will begin at 9:30 in the morning and l last all day with only an hour for lunch. Last year when there were | all day demonstrations people often | brought box lunches and stayed right through the day. However, if it is | impossible for one to attend all the sessions they can pick out of the program the things they most want to hear and plan to attend those par ticular hours. The women who at tend all three days, both morning and | of ,f service and it is hoped by the com nlittee that these women will be available for demonstration work this summer. The city has been district 1 ed and the children of the different districts will be there Friday after noon to get signers for women who will work in their districts.
