CHAUTAUQUA DATES
JULY lsT TO 9TH
MEETING TO BOOST SALE OF
TICKETS WAS HELD LAST
NIGHT-THE COMMITTEES

An enthusiastic meeting was helG
last night by the local Chautauqus
association and an organization per
fected by the election of an executive
committee, as follows: A. H. Over
smith, chairman; w. F. Morgareidgc
A. M. Larson, I. R. Boyd and H. N
Wilson; A. M. Larson being elected
secretary and H. Whittier, treasurer
A ticket selling committee was ap-
pointed as follows: John Gibson
chairman; Van Buskirk, Mix, Whit
tier, Hugo C. Anderson, Williamson
Sullivan, Mickey, Carey, Axtell, Vim
cent and Kostalek.
Committee on publicity, H. R.
Smith, McElroy, Patterson, Homer
David.
Committee on advertising and gen
eral management, A. H. Oversmith.
Four hundred and fifty tickets
were subscribed at last years chau-
tauqua, and it is necessary that at
least 200 more be sold. A thorough
canvass will be made of the town to
cover the guarantee. The tickets this
year will be $2.75 each instead of
$3.50, on account of the war tax;
$1.65 for soldiers, and $1.10 for chill
dren.
The chautauqua comes to Moscow
this year with bigger, better and
higher paid program than has been
presented in the West.
Ellison & White, under whose au-
spices the chautauqua is held, have
been to great expense this year in
program suitable for the
times. Speakers Of international
reputation will ltalk mainly upon the
war question. The educational fea-
lures of the war program will be
worth the price of admission alone.
President Wilson has given the
this year a letter of en-
and recommendation. The
is one of the few forms !
# entertainment and education which
s recommended directly by the gov
,rnment, and this recommendation
.ould only have been procured by pre-
enting program patriotic in nature,
educational and inspiring to the peo-
lie of the United States.
The full program of the chautau-
Iua will be published later in this
aper as we'll as distributed in the
orm of pamphlets. The chaVtauqua
hould receive the enthusias&a sup
ort of every patriotic citizen of
.atah county.

RED CROSS QUILT
TO Be AUCT|0NED
MRS. HOWDYSHELL, FAITHFUL
RED CROSS WORKER HELPS
THE GREAT CAUSE.

Mrs. C. B. Howdyshell, one of the
most consistent and persistent Rec
Cross workers of Moscow, has again
"come to the front" with an enter
prise that is helping the cause in g
financial way. To understand what
Mrs. Howdyshell has done one must
first understand that she is a genius
as well as a tireless worker. Those
who are unfortunate enough to not
be personally acquainted with this
estimable lady may remember her
work during the recent Red Cross
drive. She had booth just at the
entrance to the Moscow State Bank,
Red Cross headquarters, where she
had fixed up Red Cross display that
attracted much attention.
In this booth she had dolls bed
stead, every bit of which she had
made with her own hands, for she can
do carpenter work as we'll as many
men, and a bed quilt with the Red
Cross design worked in red on
back ground of white. In this bed
was a doll representing sick or
wounded soldier, and Mrs. Howdy
shell, who is practical nurse with
her many other accomplishments,
dressed in the pure white garb of the
Red Cross nurse, sat in the hot sun
all day, a silent but impressive
pleader for the cause to which Mos
COW people were asked to give their
money. That formed picture that
cannot be effaced, and although few
learned the name Of the silent
watcher, they remember the picture.
AS the poet says: Though they may
forget the singer, they will not forget
the song"
Mrs. Howdyshell is piecing another
quilt, full sized one this time, with
the Red Cross emblem on it, and peo-
pie are asked to contribute so cents
or 81, for which she will work the
name Of the person in the quilt. She
has already raised and turned over
to the Red Cross treasurer $50, re-
ceived in this way, and has room for
many more names. This will, indeed,
be roll of honor, as was the Human
Calendar" which raised $3.50 for the
Red Cross of Moscow. The Red Cross
workers ask that every one who can
will take space in this quilt and
contribute so cents or 81 and help the
cause. When the quilt is completed it
will be sold at auction for the benefit
If the Red Cross.
Mrs. Howdyshell has given the
small bed, complete, with its Red
Cross quilt and all, for the Red Cross,
and it will be displayed in the show
window of local store and sold at
auction later, the money going to the
Red Cross.
Mrs. Howdyshell has tried to avoid
but has gone on in a quiet,
way, "doing her bit'' and
accomplishing much, for the great
,ause of humanity and her latest
work is certainly worthy of mention
md commendation.

Alaska Railroad Work Goes On

WASHINGTON = Continuation Of
work on the Alaska Railway was
virtually assured when the house sub
committee of the appropriations COM
mittee recommended additional funds
for carrying on the work. This ap-
preparation would enable the present
force of 5000 men to continue the
work of building the railroad which
is badly needed to secure supply of
coal for all government work.

COURT MARTIAL FOR ALL
DELINQUENT HOME GUARDS

A court martial is to be held by
the Home Guard organization June
II to try few members of the Or
ganization who have been delinquent
in attending drill, according to an
announcement made at the meeting
last night. The action is said to be
necessary in order to enforce the
rules and regulations governing that
body, which require that certain
number of drill nights are to be at
tended during month.
To be court-martialed and found
guilty is rather serious offense as
it deprives the guilty person of all
the rights and privileges of citizen

MOSCOW MAN WOUNDED IN
ACTION ON WESTERN FRONT

Mrs. L. F. Albert received tele-
gram today announcing the serious
wounding of her husband, Captain
L. F. Albert, "some where in France" F"
The telegram came from Washington,
D. G., and stated that Captain Albert
was wounded i'm action. Nothing more
can be learned and Mrs. Albert is
naturally greatly worried. Captain
Albert was a graduate Of the Univer-
sity of Idaho, class of 1912, and has
been in the army since last November.
He is with the 56th engineers. Mrs.
Albert is staying at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. N. Nankervis.

UNIVERSITY Of IDAHO MAY
GET MUCH NEEDED BUILDINGS

That the meeting of the state boar(
of education which closed here las
night will be Of vast Importance tx
the University Of Idaho, the state ane
the city of Moscow, is certain. Thai
new buildings will be provided ant
equipment given the university SC
that it can care for at least SOC
soldiers who will be sent here fol
special training, is almost certainty
While definite arrangements have moi
been made and official action to pro-
vide these needed improvements was
not taken, the members of the board
who attended this meeting were
unanimous in their desire to place
the university on footing equal to
that of other schools of the north
west in this respect.
Several plans were discussed, but
none of them were adopted. One
plan is to complete the south wing of
the administration building, the foun-
dation of which is already laid. This
would be valuable addition to the
university and give much needed
room. 1t will be remembered that
the board Of examination stopped
work on this wing of the building
some time ago, and it has never been
touched since work was stopped. The
board of education will ask the board
of examination to withdraw it's objec-
tion and permit the construction of
this important wing of the building
because of it's great need for war
work.
Governor Alexander intimated, when
he was in Moscow this week, that the
objection of the board of examination
would be withdrawn and the building
would be completed with funds that
would be provided. Governor Alex
ander pledged himself to support any
action of the board Of education to in
crease the capacity of the university
for handling the soldiers who will be
sent here for special training.
Another plan suggested was that
the basement and one story Of the
south wing be completed to run back
a distance of 200 feet and the build
ing finished with temporary roof,
leaving it to future legislatures to pro-
vide funds for finishing it.
Still another suggestion was that
$4,000 or $4,000 be expended for
temporary barracks and the
balance Of the appropriation revert
back to the state treasurer. The
board did not reach final determina-
ton, but something definite will be
done and the University Of Idaho will
be equipped to "do it's bit" in training
men for special war work, as re-
quested by the war department.
DR.. Bryan and Regent Healey left
~ automobile this forenoon for Lewis
ton, where they will inspect the new
main building of the normal school,
which replaces the one destroyed by
ire last winter, and will return here
his afternoon. DR.. Bryan goes to
Spokane this evening and from
spokane to Boise. He expects to re-
urn to Moscow within 10 days or two
weeks.

CHAMPION SOX WIN
IN LAST TRAINING
SCRAP WITH BLUES

Kansas City, Mo, April Is
Spring training with its attendant
came to a close yes
terday for the worlds champion
White SoX. The last bit of prepara-
tory treatment taken by the CHI
cagoans was a nine-inning clash
with the Blues, who finished on
the short end of a 8 to score.
This made it five wins and eight
defeats for the southern tour, a
record not worth Dragging about,
but neither of any consequence to
what will follow. starting Tues
day.
Joe Benz toiled the first seven
innings of the concluding pastime.
1t was a raw, windy day, so the
Batesville butcher boy didn't loosen
up to any extent, albeit he pitched
fairly well. Seven hits were made
off Joe. but several were of the
fuke variety, the wind interfering
in a couple of instances, while
Felsch and Jackson got crossed
once on a ball that should have
been caught. Robertson relieved
Benz and held the Blues in check
during his two-round workout.

rector l.. w. st. John.
Wayne Wright, captain of last
years champions, is now devoting
much of his time to coaching the
young Buckeye hurlers. He has
succeeded in developing several
promising men. who have shown
form in the one or two practice
games already played with local
teams. The one position causing
worry to the Ohio State mentor is
the slab, but even that worry is
now beginning to abate
The Buckeyes got an early start
on the field and thus are far ahead

team almost ready TO meet the west

time another week passes and the
season is started his nine will be in

Bad weather interfered somewhat
with daily practice last week, but
Ohio's men utilized the Coliseum at

lost little in the way of practice
The Wolverines are unfortunate to
