Baseball enthusiasts are called fans
and football enthusiasts are called
rooters. Well, there were sonnet hing
like 400 rooters out to see the game
between the Camp Dodge team and the
all-state college team when the ground
was covered with snow and the Their
mometer registered 6 degrees below
zero. But it was great game. The
Camp Dodge team was composed Of the
same fellows who defeated the Camp
Funston team at Omaha and they put
up plucky fight but the all-state col
lege team was too much for them and
a score of 6 to 0 was the result.
Getting Ready For the Holidays.
Every soldier in camp on Christmas
day will receive a remembrance from
the American Red Cross Practically
all of the negro soldiers from Alabama
will spend Christmas in camp, and
preparations are being made for a
general celebration. The Negro Y. M.
c. A. unit will put on special program
for the men, and preparations are now
being made to receive many gifts.
Christmas will be generally observed
in camp by special dinners and by a
general celebration at the Y. M. C. "a.
auditorium. The program has not been
worked out as yet. Hundreds OF the
men in camp who have no homes to
go to will be entertained by Des Moines
people in their homes. This plan was
in effect on Thanksgiving also, but it
worked serious disappointment, be-
cause the invited guests failed to show
up. For instance the people of
Mitchellville, 10 miles east of Des
Moines, prepare for ninety of the soldiers
on Thanksgiving but not one was
present. It was a great disappoint-
ment to the we'll meaning people of
that splendid community. During the
holidays list of men will be provided
and personal invitations extended.
Lutheran Brotherhood Building
Dedicated.
The Lutheran Brotherhood of Amer
lea has erected one Of the best build
ings at the camp and it has been dedi-
Gated with impressive ceremonies and
is now opened to the soldiers of every
creed. Be it said to the credit of all
concerned that the men in charge; of
the knights of Columbus, the Y. M.
C. A. the Jewish orders and the several
church organizations all work togeth-
er in perfect harmony. The men in
charge hold frequent conferences and
there is a harmony of action and a
unity of purpose that is most credit
able to the minds and hearts of the
big men in charge of this important
work. The Lutheran Brotherhood has
the following officers: President, Rev.
J. A. O. Stub; vice-presidents, Rev.
August Norrbom, Nelson S. Nelson,
Hon. Ole O. Roe and Rev Messrs.
Emil H. Rausch and F. C. Streufert;
secretary, Alex T.. Nelson; treasurer,
Amos O. Hauge. There is an executive
committee consisting of Messrs. Hauge
and John A. Benson and Rev. DR.. Angus
B. Learner. The committee on member
ship consists of Rev. P. O. Bersell for
the Augustana Synod; Rev. N. Kleven,
for the Norwegian Lutheran church;
DR.. Learner for the General Synod, and
Rev: S. D., Rodholm for the Danish
Lutheran church. The members OF this
committee are to be selected by other
contributing bodies. The building at
Camp Dodge cost $4,000 exclusive of
equipment. It is the only community
club house heated by steam. It has a
large auditorium and all facilities re-:
quired in affording the soldiers home
like meeting place. The Brotherhood
will permit the various Lutheran bodies
to use the building as headquarters for
the spiritual work they are doing for
their men with the colors in the camp.
The Brotherhood is not to confne its
efforts to the camp here, but will en-
deavor, as far as possible, to erect
buildings within such camps as may be
recommended by The National Lutheran
Commission for Soldiers and Sailors
welfare. s5
Some Records Broken.
In the construction of the buildings
and improvements at and around Camp
Dodge there were some freaks among
the workmen. One fellow from Mime
sofa could drive more nails when it
came to putting on the siding than any
other three men and he got no more
wages than the other fellow. He was
paid by the hour rather than by what
he accomplished. Then there was a
brick layer at work putting down brick
