OF
AUDITORIUM and
ARMORY LIKELY

That Moorhead may have a COM
bined armory and auditorium is
probable as the result of the neces-
sity for providing armory facilities
for Battery F before the Second
regiment is granted federal recogni-
ton. The following committee Of
the Moorhead Commercial club, au-
thorized at the meeting held Satur-
day afternoon will have general
charge: Chas. S. Marden, chairman;
Leslie Welter, N. N. Melvey and A.
J. Wright.
Favorable action by the state
armory board on the application of
Moorhead for $4,000 state aid to-
wards the construction Of the armory
has already been taken. The petit
ton to the secretary of war, that
will be forwarded by Capt. A. c. Rus
ness tonight. bears the signatures of
a majority of the county commission
ers. 1t is planned to build the arm
DRY so IL may also be used as an
and the county will be
asked to share in the expense. The
armory committee was authorized to
select a site for the structure.

RED CROSS WANTS ALL
TO WEAR The BUTTONS

The Moorhead Red Cross wishes to
call the attention of the public to
the gold plated Red Cross buttons
and pins. They are on sale at all the
tewelry stores at 25 cents each. or
this amount ten cents is turned over
TO the local chapter and the buttons
handled without profit by the stores.
The chapter also urges that all ir-
Irregularities in regard to the receipt
of the Red Cross magazine be report
ed to the local secretary. All the
profits from the magazine are turned
over 10 the American Red Cross and
il Is hoped to realize 100000 this
year.
While the church organizations are
doing excellent work in Red Cross
sewing, the attendance at the rooms
is not as good as it should be. Work
ers are needed badly. Housewives
are urged to donate their old bed
linen to be used in wrapping articles
to be shipped. Miss Comstock re-
ports from Minneapolis that ship
ments have been received and have
been found highly satisfactory.
One Of the most efficient and sue
cessful divisions of the local work is
the surgical dressing class under the
direction of Mrs. NJ. NJ. Fulton. The
the instruction Of Red Cross Nurse,
Deaconess Knox. It meets every
Tuesday and Thursday evening at
the Red Cross rooms. The class 3
composed Of the following women:
Mines. Aske. Costain, Hagen, Doug
las, Martin Anderson. V. e. Verne
and the Misses Julia Sharp. Ethel
McCubrey, Lola LaEalley, and Lulu
Wagner.
The nurses Of the Moorhead hospi-
tai are helping greatly with the work
by doing the cutting of articles at
the hospital. Last week the class
packed $50 articles. The class makes
on an average 100 articles an even
ing. All these articles must be
wrapped in pieces of old sheets for
which Mrs. Fulton makes an urgent
appeal
Miss Briggs, domestic science
teacher at the high school, has or
ganized a class of high school girls
in surgical dressing work and they
viii meet two evenings a week at the
Red Cross rooms.

together in the 1913 series, when the
Giants played the Athletics.
Bliss KLEIN has had the rare luck in
worlds series officiating. He has been
in more of them and picked up more
easy change than any of his fellows.
The present season is the eighth one
in ten years that he has seen world
series service. Quite a young fortune
ne has gathered in this way alone. 1t
seems to be a rule in the National
league that KLEIN is to get the big
plum. In 1912 he wasn't picked, but
that season the Giants and Yanks put
on post-season series and he was
asked to work in that. Last season
Tener did not call him cut, but these
are the only two times since he start
ed that he hasn't been in the big con-
test. KLEIN may be rated high as an
umpire, but IL seems sad that there's
not another in the National league
able to get in on the worlds series
occasionally, too.

The umpires working in the big
games this fall have seen worlds SER
les service before. Evans and
O'Loughlin, OF the American league,
and KLEIN and Rigler, of the National
league, handled the worlds series
games of 1912 and those of 1915.
Next to being a sub or utility play
err on a pennant winning team, the
worlds series umpire has the softest
thing in baseball. The sub gets nice
fat roll for doing nothing more than
sitting on the bench. The worlds
series umpire gets $1,000 for the few
games and IL comes easy. When an
umpire is told that he is to work in
the worlds series he is always pleased
to hear OF 10.
Evans and ODoughlin were the
American league umpires chosen In
1909 when the Pirates met the Tigers,
and Bill KLEIN was also there. At that
time he had Jim Johnson as his part
