FAIRMONT MAN BUILDS
OWN PLAN-FALLS 800 FEET

Ernest Thieman, Fairmont garage
mechanic, became air-minded and
built himself an airplane, but today
he is in the Fairmont hospital suf-
fering from a broken arm, a bruised
hip and other injuries, which he re-
ceived when his plane crashed in the
trial flight. Thieman is one of the
few f1iers whose plane went into a
tail spin, and yet allowed him to live
and tell about it. The plane had been
built during the winter months and,
according to those who saw it, it was
sturdy little craft. On the trial
fight the plane rose gracefully into
the air and sailed away, but when
Thieman went to turn around the
plane was seen to drop about 100 feet
and then went into tail spin, COM

SOMETHING HOT NEEDED
IN SCHOOL LUNCH MENU

Boys and girls grow stronger, are
better natured, work more effective
~, and are more eager for school
when they are served hot lunch at
noon, says Miss Inez Hobart, extern
sion specialists in nutrition, Univer-
sity Farm, St. Paul. Lunch is just
as important as breakfast, she says,
and she urges parents to start the
hot lunch serving early, beginning
with the first snappy days.
AS to what is best to serve, Miss
Hobart points out that children need
liberal quantities of milk and veget.
ables, so is is wise to plan the hot
dish to include them. Baked potato
escalloped cabbage, creamed peas
cream tomato soup, and macaroni
and cheese are all popular dishes.
The school lunch equipment should
be checked over to see that it is in
readiness. This will be simple if the
"pint jar" method is used, as all that
this plan requires is an ordinary
wash boiler, rack for holding the
jars, and small oil stove for heat.
ing. Mothers furnish each child with
a pint jar containing the hot lunch
and this is placed in the boiler and
heated at the proper time. Parents
should talk over the hot lunch plans
with teachers, with the school board
and at parent-teacher association
meetings.
County home demonstration agents
will be ready with suggestions as to
needed equipment, interesting dishes
to prepare, or quantity recipes that

MORGAN TO HAVE
R. N. A. CONVENTION
Is School of Instruction With
Head Officers in Charge. Par
ade One of the Features

The Royal Neighbor camp of Nor
gan is preparing to entertain the
count convention of that order which
will be held at Morgan either on Oct
ober 22nd or 23rd. The exact date,
which will be fixed by the head offic-
ers, will be known within a few days.
This will be a red letter date for
the local R. N. A. and it is expected
that about $50 visitors will be pre-
sent. Lodges interested are looted at
Redwood Falls, Belview, Lamberton,
Wabasso, and Walnut Grove making
total of six with the Morgan camp.
The county convention is in the
nature of instruction. While they
are to be held annually henceforth
this is only the second one in the
county and it is expected that every
camp will send large delegations.
Mrs. Alice Nash, supreme manager
for Minnesota, will be in charge and
she will be assisted by Mrs. Schlegel,
one of the state deputies, who is
known to many of the members here.
Besides being a valuable school of
instruction it is fine social occasion
and there will be literary and mu-
steal program to which the various
lodges will contribute. There will
also be drills by degree teams in un-
form.
There will be two sessions after
noon at 1870 and evening at 1880.
Following the close of the afternoon
session and before supper the conven-
ton will stage a parade.
Supper will be served afeteria
style. The local Royal Neighbors
will furnish the hot dishes. The
other articles of food will be brought
by the visitors. This is the rule fol-
lowed at these conventions.
On account of the large number OF
visitors the city hall will be used for
the convention proper and the lodge
hall will serve as headquarters for
the delegates,

ing preparations for the event and

M USIC FIGHT
MAY CLOSE
THEATER

Attorney Wilton ]. Lambert Is
in a conference today with Presi-
dent Hayden and other officials
of the Musicians Union in an eff
fort to adjust the labor differences
which threaten an early closing
of the National Players stock
season.
In a statement made public to-
day, the manager of the National
Theater recites the history of the
National Theater Players, one of
the most successful stock COM
panies in America, and says.
since newspaper stories were pub
lished a few days ago to the ef-
feet that the National Theater
Players would close in two weeks
such notice having been posted
back stage. notifying actors, stage
hands and musicians--I have been
besieged by hundreds of theater-
goers who cannot understand why
a company so well established
should shut up shop at the very
height of its success.
ITO begin with, there was never
any need for musicians during the
stock season at the National. Fore
ing them upon me was unfair.
However, / had to bear the ex-
pense, Had / not acceded to the
musicians demands other unions
associated with the theater would
have joined forces against me.
There is in operation here a fed
Grafton of unions-musicians, stage
hands and others. These have a
working agreement. Their de-
mands must be met by theater
operators-or all the unions will
strike. Whether they want to or
not, members of one union must
walk out in sympathy with other
unions. With this as their weapon,
the musicians first forced me to
employ three men. They now de-
mand that / employ seven until
June 10, after which time they
would permit me to have only
three men for the months OF June,
July and August.
Therefore, they penalize me
with the same number of men they
demand of the theater for travelling
road attractions, charging from
S2.5O to $3.50, which could play the
gross receipts as high as $4,000
a week. They attempt to classify
my 81 top stock company as the
Legitimate theater.' BY no stretch
of the imagination can this be
done. They only exact four men
from the Belasco Theater, which
shortly resumes its legitimate pol
icy with the top price of $3.50,
whereas they are asking me to en-
ploy seven men with 81 top
scale where my gross receipts are
limited. On Saturday afternoon,
February Is, previous to my open
ing on the following Monday,
was given this ultimatum, and,
having my company under two
weeks contract, had to submit,
under protest, to the installation of
a seven-piece orchestra.
'"The cost of the additional four
men completely eliminates the
chance of any profit. In fact,
last season the cost of three men
during many weeks meant the
difference between profit and loss.
At a conference with the musi-
clans. members of their board
suggested that I could easily raise
admission prices to take care of
the cost of the orchestra. This,
as the public knows, l have not
done.
IF the Musicians Union goes
through with this unfair demand
will be forced to close the doors
of this theater. This will deprive
not only the citizens of Washing
ton from seeing good plays, but
it will throw out of work the
stage crew and all other employees
of the National Theater."
