BRINGING UP FATHER

Something radically a departure from the usual and conventional in musical comedy is promised Tn Bringing Up Father" which is to hold the boards at the Jefferson Theatre for three days commencing Thursday, with the customary matt. nee The new cartoon play, based on the famous comics by George Mc- Manus, is in two acts and five scenes. John P. Mulgrew is the author of the book and lyrics. A real plot involv- inc plenty of side-splitting compli- cations and situations and written on original lines takes the various characters around the world. or course, the beloved Jiggs Mahoney will be a conspicuous figure And It may be assured that Maggie his ter mangent better half, along with Dinty Moore and Kitty arc also in the @iimelight Maggie still contrives how to spend "Father's' money, her social aspirations having not been suuelched even in the fact of past failures and tribulations. An elapo- rate and up-to-the- minute produc- tion, the employment of capable cast, a pretty bevy of chorus girls and other original features should provide unusual entertainment,
 "rHE COVERED wAGON-
 Next Monday evening at the Jeff ferson Theatre, "The Covered Wag- on," that typically American play Of the winning of the west, begins its local engagement. The spirit. that animated the pioneers is its theme. They defied all hazards and--another great step in Americas progress conuuered the Unknown-the saV- ages, wilds, hostile animals and Ma ture, desert thirst, heat, cold and hunger along the California and ore gon trails in 1S4S-49 into the coun- try's newly acquired possessions: That, briefly is the story or "The Covered Wagon" Replete with thrilling adventure and the pioneers indomitable spirit, it likewise has love story of great sweetness and rough but sympathetic humor that touches both the risibles and the heart strings.
 will Jackson, Jim Bridger and Joe Dunstan are true pictures of the frontiersmen that helped make the greater America, and their DOT trayals by Messrs. Terrence, Marshall and Oliver delight greatly the varied American audiences. The gallant Major Banion, played by J. w. ker- rigan, and the beautiful Molly Win gate, acted by Lois Wilson, embody the romance.

False Doctrine

If employers teach their em- ployes, by example, that an important factor in their bus mess should be conducted on the nutualistic or communis- tic plan, they are not in a good position to object if the employees attempt to give a broader scope to the false doctrine thus inculcated.

MORE GRAPEFRUIT BOUGHT
What Big Difference Years Make In
Diet of People

Twenty eight years ago when tine
Mankato Fruit company opened its
store here there was but little frul,
and fancy vegetables sold. Fruit
was kept on the buffet just to make
the dining room look attractive and
the plate was so sacred that it almost
wore a halo, seemingly to the child :
rem OF the family. At the time of
the opening of this store, lemons
Were not then grown in California
and they were just being expert
mented with. All the lemons that
the Mankato people used came from
the tropical island of Cicily and no
wonder they were kept for orna-
ments as the high price they
brought. California produces all the
lemons used in this country and no
one actually knows the. actual out
put.
when grape fruit first came on
the market" said Manager Fisher,
I'VE purchased five or ten boxes a
week and if we bought ten boxes We
felt we were overstocked. Now we
get a carload every other week dur
ing the grapefruit season. 1t was
the same way with bananas. Fifty
punches at a time was something al
most outrageous, for they were used
as a luxury and only for hotels ana
big dinners. Today we use two and
three carloads a week and kids eat
them like they do apples. 1t is Won
derful also to watch the growth of
celery and head lettuce" continued
Mr. Fisher. 1--WE used to get in little
celery around Thanksgiving time
and little bigger order went in for
Christmas but people bought it like
they were buying flowers from a
greenhouse. Today we sell from four
to five hundred dozens weekly. Our
celery is now coming from Florida.

HOLDING OFF ELECTION
Education Board To Take Up Teach
er Selection Next Week.

Election of teachers and instruc-
tors for the Mankato high, junior
and grade schools will be made by
the board OF education at a special
meeting, which will probably be held
the first part of next week, accord
ing to an announcement made, today
by Mrs. B. ID. Smith, president of the
board. The president has been try
ing for sometime past to set a def
mite date for the meeting, but as yet
has been unable to arrange for it
due to confliction with other duties
Of the board members.
A meeting OF committee members
of the board will be held before the
special board meeting to determine
the advisability of cutting salaries of
teachers for the next school term
Members of the board have been in
vestigating actions OF other boards
throughout the state and it is found
that in many cases the boards are
making salary cuts while other
school boards are letting the salary
limits stay as they were during the
present school term.
Anxiety has been manifested
among local teachers due to the late
ness of the local board in issuing
contracts for teacher service next
year. The contemplation of salary
cuts here created an uncertainty
among local teachers about applying
elsewhere for positions.

'RATHBUN RESIGNS
GOES TO MILL CITY
Mankato Man Named To
Post By Governor
WILL LEAVE HERE
Appointee Former Postmaster
Vice-President Local Bank
ing Institution
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.]

Associated Press DISPATCH
st. Paul. April 21.-R. B. Rathbun
state superintendent Of banks, today
resigned and Governor J A. o. Preus
appointed Adolph J. Veigel of Man
kato, as his successor.
Mr.. Rathbun resigned to accep,
the cashiershp of the Produce State
Bank of Minneapolis. 1t has not
been definitely decided what date
Mr.. Rathbun will leave, but it is ex
pected the newly appointed head OF
that department will assume his du
ties very soon.
Mr.. Rathbun was appointed by
Governor Preus March 6, 1922, and
received his re- appointment which
was confirmed by the senate several
days ago.
Friends in Mankato and through
out the state who know him, will be
pleased to learn that A. J. Veigel, vice
president of the National Bank of
Commerce of this city, has just been
appointed state superintendent OF
banks at salary of $4,000 per year.
Mr.. ,Veigel has held a number OF
important offices in this city, and
has made good in all of them.
In 1907 Mr.. Veigel was appointed
postmaster of this city, and held
that office up to 1915. During his
incum bency, he proved to be a
painstaking and efficient officer. At
the close of his term as postmaster
he accepted the vice presidency of
the National Bank Of Commerce of
this city. About three years ago he
resigned that position to accept
work as cashier of the Commercial
State Bank of st. Paul. which was
later merged into the Metropolitan
Bank of that city. Two years ago
he returned to Mankato and again
accepted the vice presidency of the
National Bank of Commerce, which
position he has held with distinction.
1t is largely due to Mr.. Veigers
popularity that that institution rec
emily forged ahead as rapidly as ii
did.
The interest manifested in the
general welfare of Mankato through
his position as president of Mankato
vic and Commerce association
has greatly aided that organization
doing some valuable work during
the past two years.
While his man. friends will be
pleased to learn of his appointment
to such a high office of trust, they
will regret to lose one of the men
who has the welfare Of Mankato so
much to heart.
