national government.
"As the presidents of three organi-
cations in the state we wish to elimin-
ate duplication by uniting our forces
along these lines. A call has come to

To work along lines designated by the
American Red Cross. The plan of work
is this:
First: The state committee shall
consist of the state presidents of the
undersigned organizations, and shall
be called the North Dakota Woman 8
Patriotic Emergency committee. Sec
ond: That each local organization shall
appoint a member to form a similar
committee for their town. Third
There are three lines of work. Each
town must take up certified registra-
ton and one or both of the other two
lines. and one member of the commit
tee be responsible for one line of work
chosen. Fourth: 1t shall be the duty
of this local committee to organize all
the women of her community for
definite work along these lines. Fifth:
There. will be a state chairman for
each of the departments of work whose
names will be announced later.
Sixth: Please send the three names
of the local committee and the line Of
work selected by each as . soon as
possible to the secretary Of the state
committee as shown below. Seventh:
This is emergency work; it is your

A GILDED YOUTH" Is
VERY WELL PRESENTED
Moorhead Players Make Good Showing
at Lyceum Tuesday Evening
Final Performance Tonight.

An all-star performance Of A Gilded
Youth, was given by local players at
the Lyceum theatre last night. The
hat of the evening was scored by Miss
Nellie Hopkins who always fits any
part in which she is cast.
There was also surprise - Miss
Lucy Curran, who made so charming
a ward of the peppery old colonel.
Everyone knew that Will Curran
would be a fine colonel. and he won
his shoulder straps last night. No
one could blame Ward Cassidy for be-
ing solicitous about his appearance
he is used to 1t.
Then there was Joe Laden, very
natural, only more so than usual.
The play was given a patriotic touch
at the close when actors and audi
ence joined in singing The Star Spang-
led Banner.
This afternoon a matinee is given
and tonight the final performance at 5
o'clock.

how light country offerings of corn

TOO MANY PORTSIDE
HITTERS IN MAJORS
Weeghman Would Pay Big
Sum for Right Handed
Hitting Outfielder.
CINCY is IN THE SAME BOAT

New York, Jan. 6.-There is an OPP
portunity for enterprising minor
league managers to make a fortune
for their clubs by developing for the
major ranks heavy hitting outhelders
who bat right-handed. The demand
for right-handed batters is great, es-
pecially in the National league. Nearly
every club in the older circuit would
pay handsomely for a 800 hitter who
swings from the starboard side of the
plate. There is an abundance of left
handed hitters, but the right-handers
are almost a scarcity.
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Chicago Cubs, would take the band
off his bank roll and hand out many
new crisp bills for an outhelder capa-
Bile of hitting around the 800 mark.
He needs one badly and has in
structed Fred" Mitchell, the new
manager of the club, to make every
effort to get one. Mitchell is aware
that his outfeld does not shape up
strongly with the trio the Cubs had
last season. Fred" Williams and
Max Flack are left-handed batters.
One of the two has to be benched.
The latter will probably adorn the
bench, as he is not the slugger that
Williams is and is not as fast in the
field.
Leslie Mann deserves to be a fix
ture in left field. He won the posi-
ton last season by playing remark
able ball. His fielding was sensa-
tional throughout Nthe season and,
although little late in starting he
batted heavily. If the Cubs are for
tunate in getting another man of his
type they will have one of the fastest
and most dependable outfields in the
league.
Same at Cincy.
Cincinnati is in virtually the same
position. Its outfelders are left
handed hitters and "Christy"
Mathewson realizes that to be ef-
fectively powerful he must have at
least one good right-handed hitter
and has his lines out for one. He is
said to be angling for Bill" Hinch-
man of the Pirates. but it is hardly.
possible Barney" Dreyfuss will let
him go, as he figures on playing him
at first base this year.
Roush is the leader of the Reds
outhelders and is a youngster des-
tined to become one of the fielding
lights of the National league. He is
left-handed swinger, but does it so
naturally that he usually hits south
paws as we'll as he does right-hand-
ers. John McGraw was unwilling to
let him go, but in order to assist the
Cincinnati team he had to do it.
New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Pittsburgh and Brooklyn, in fact
every team in the National league
wants and would pay big sum for
right-handed hitting outhelder They
all need one or more and have been
scouting the minors for long time,
but have not been successful in get
ting them. The minor leagues are
not developing the young ball players
as they did in the past.
