GROCERS PLAN TO
BUILD AUDITORIUM
They Want National Grocers'
Headquarters Here--Would
Make Distributing Center.
BEATING THE DEADBEATs
Bv A. R. GROH.

Now the Omaha grocers are going
to build an auditorium. -.
What do grocers want with an au-
ditorium? you ask. They want to
"audire" in it. "Audire" means ito
hear" Oh. sure, 1, studied Latin. |
know lots OF Latin words-"amo,
amas, amat," "Gallia est omnis divisa
in parties tres" and plenty Of others.
An auditorium is place where peo-
pie hear. Also where people speak.
The grocers want to do both. They
do both now, but they have to hire
a hall to do 'em in. They propose to
have a hall of their own in Omaha.
They've got money in the bank. So,
why shouldn't they have one?
The grocers have much to say and
much to hear. They meet twice a
month. One of their many activities
is a credit bureau, which is an ar
rangement for battling dead beats,
When Mr.. Smooth d. Beat moves
away from Ames avenue without
warning to his grocer man, leaving
a big bill unpaid, the grocers' associa-
ton Immediately learns Of it.
Good Day. Sir"
And when Mr.. Smooth D. Beat
blows into another honest grocer
mans establishment on Vinton street,
let us say, and gets off his smooth
spiel about doing all his trading there
and he'll settle up on the fir, of every
month and so no, the Vinton street
grocery man fixes him with stern

Wednesday, February 7, was the
thirty-frst anniversary Of the Omaha
lodge OF Elks. II so happened that
a formal dancing party took place in
the lodge room that evening. but it
had no special reference to the ami
ycrsary, as it was fixed party for
that date. Friday night, February 9,
the nearest lodge meeting night to
the anniversary, an informal social
session was held in the lodge and club
rooms.
In the new Armour Office building,
South Side, Robert c. Howe, general
manager Of the company, has fitted
up music room with a piano and
other necessary accessories. A glee
club Of about twenty singers, and a
quartet have been organized from
among the Armour employees. and it
has been such musical success that
the singers were recently sent over to
Chicago to the home plant, where
they gave concert that was pro-
nounced to be very great success.
The Armour Glee club and Quartet
made their first Omaha appear

"Canned" Church Services.

The day may soon dawn when
congregation will purchase an entire
embalmed church service as one
buys a can of soup.
Hymns on the talking machine, a
sermon on the same instrument, and
prayers made to order Does it
sound fantastic?
Any sort of instrumental music IN
churches is relatively new. Even
singing was tabooed by many devout
people in their churches for centur-
les, and still is by some. But now
trained choirs and great organs are
compelling features in nearly all de-
nominations that can afford to pay
the price.
l once heard the incompatible
choir in St. Peters at Rome on an
Easter morning. Soon afterwards |
listened to a fine opera in the Grand
Opera House in Paris. The latter
showed no better training than the
former.
SO the world has gradually worked
up from a state where 1t prayed and
preached under a tree until now il
worsh1ps in mighty temples to the
! acco+mptal ent Of al sorts Vi the
best music
Tdere are, however, great many
poor churches which cannot pay fol-
good choirs, fine organs, excellen,
sermons, nor eloquent prayers. Thai
Is where science steps in to aid re
llgion.
What could be simpler than tc
have Caruso, Mccormack, Farrar
Cali Curci, Rodeheaver, and hal
a dozen other worldknown vocalis,'
each do about ten hymns for Vic
trola?
If one church had to buy the In
strument and purchase such records
1t might more cheaply hire gooc
singers. But thousand poo
churches might use the records IL

Castle said that he could not guaran-
tee the use of the park until the end
Of the year.
/ 1t is thought that there will be no
! trouble in reaching an understanding
at the meeting this evening, as both
leagues are gradually coming around
| to the idea that a strong league would
| do much to boost baseball. The Homo

have not made money in the series at
Athlete park, but with the All-Stars,

bright for good attendance.

In the last game between the Ha-

won out by one run, which was Sc
cured on a wild throw, and the Fill

mura will have the management of
these two teams. The game will be
