PLAYING ROLE FOR SOLDIER
Kenneth Hoerr Is Making Good On
Stage in France.

Mankato young men, after COM
pleting their work "over there" in
the war zone, are now gaining re-
nown throughout France by touring
that country in an original operetta
known as the "A. w. O. L." The
play is presented by the talent of the
famous First Division and is directed
by r. M. Faulkner, director of
great repute in America and the man
who directed Clara Kimball Young
in some of her strongest productions.
Kenneth Hoerr, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Hoerr of this city;
Alexis Parlova, formerly violinist at
the Grand theatre here and Emmette
B. Gordon, formerly with the Man
kato Fruit and Commission house
here are all connected with the play.
Last week Mrs. William Hoerr re-
ceived copy of the program from
her son Kenneth Hoerr. '
Mr.. Hoerr is member of the
chorus in the play. Alexis Parlova
is violinist in the orchestra and E.
B. Gordon is stage carpenter. The
entire company is under the man
agement of Lieutenant E. c. Sage OF
the First division. Among the cast
are said to be some of the leading
stage stars of this country. The play
has made a great hit wherever pre-
scented.

Ivan Bowen elected chairman and
Mr.. Emerson secretary.
Williams Selected Delegate.
Considerable enthusiasm entered
into the choosing of delegates for
the st. Louis convention as practi-
cally all the counties had sent their
delegates with the understanding
that the home people would finance
the expenses of the delegate If he
were chosen from their county. Aft
ed two tie ballots three delegates
and three alternates were chosen
as follows: Lieutenant s. 8. Smith
of Worthington as delegate and
Lieutenant C. H. Baldwin of Red

who were in the service during this
war that the G.. A. r., does to those
of the Civil war.
The Blue Earth county organization
in having selected a delegate from
Mankato to represent the district at
st. Louis took upon itself the burden
of financing the delegates expenses
believing that the county would be
as liberal as the other counties in
the districts that were represented
and requesting delegates. This is
an opportunity to help the returned
soldiers in getting their organization
started and the request is made that
at least seventy five people in Man
kato remit one dollar each to F. E.
Morse, chairman of the local organi-
zation, for the purpose of defraying
the expenses of the delegate to st.
Louis
