Many Of the secrets were locked
UP In the breasts Of the Ku Klux
ana mover given to the world. The Ku
klux warnings to offenders were in
keeping with their mode Of carrying on
anairs. mysterious and terrifying,
often by figure dangling from tree
or some such gruesome emblem with
a warning to a negro or Scalawag, to
Beware.
The Ku Klux were opposed to shed
ding OF blood and violence was never
used except in extreme cases. Many
violent deeds were put upon the shoul-
ders Of the Klan Of which they were
entirely innocent. They did only
their stern duty. and silently stole
away.
The Invisible Army gave back to
its beloved land much that she lost
during four years Of bloody carnival of
death. Restored In a measure the
grandeur and majesty that was the
envy of all the world in days gone by.
No nobler or grander men ever gathered
on the earth than those assembled in
the meeting places Of the Klan. No
humane hearts were ever moved with
spAfRs- impulses. The love Of law and
order, the nrotection Of virtue Of the
noblest wOmahkood in all annals of
time moved these men to action.

What If every home should remove
any unsightly shrubbery that may have

it with really attractive plants!

the citizens in certain blocks engage

This old world Of ours has queer peo-
Dle In it. They seem to get prejudiced
against fellow that has never harmed
hem but has really done them favors.
Now we know Of a young man In our
home town who can never see US. He
never speaks to us. He thinks we must
ne his enemy. The only thing that We
know of doing to him was that when
he was hard up and had not the money
to get suit of clothes, we gave our
word to the clothier that we would
see it paid. Well the fellow evidently
Knew a good thing when he had 1t and
after paying a few dollars on the suit
concluded to let US finish the job for
him. We did. Well, that fellow has not
spoken to us since. He must be Of the
opinion that we are his enemy. Well,
we guess we are. It never helps a
Young fellow to pay his debts for him.
He does not seem to like 1t and then It
makes him loose his selfrespect When
this is gone the fellow is on the down
grade He must regain his self respect
in some way If ever he gets on the up
grade.

GOVERNMENT AID FOR
 MERCHANT MARINE
Federal Legislation for Resale Prices Also Recommended in Report to
 L. s. Chamber of Commerce.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Governm ent chant marine and federal legislation permitting the maintenance of re-sa !e prices were recommended in special reports submitted at today's session of the chamber of commerce of the Unit ed states. These recommendations and addresses by Secretary McAdoo and Senator Burton of Ohio, and on the development of the merchant marine of the United States" and by Commissioner of Corporations Davies on The federal trade commission, ' were features on the days program.
 In its report the committee on mer- chant marine advocated the creation of q federal shipping board to en- courage the establishment and sue cessful operation of an Am erican mer chant marine and a marine develop ment company. capitalized at s30,- 100000 to advance funds to buyers or builders of steamers. Discussing the need of such legislation, the commit tee says:
 Our export and import trade has grown with tremendous strides, and VIII continue 10 expand rapidly. Our people demand that it sh ould be sa fc- guarded, and no longer left to un- known vicfssitudes and 10 shipping fa- cilities certain to fail us in worlds crisis. The European war has opened the eyes of the country to a full real lzation of the unwisdom of past in- difference and delay and the wish is universal that effective laws shall promptly be passed to remove this na- tional peril"
 The committed on the maintenance of resale prices says it is convinced that legislation permitting the main tenance of resale prices under proper restrictions on identified merchandise, for voluntary purchase. made and sold under competitive conditions, would be to the best interest of the producer. the distributor and the purchasing public, or consumer.
