u. S. NUT CROP
SEEN AS GREAT
MONEY MAKER
Waste of Nut Trees by Pioneer
DeplOred as Species Be-
come Extinct.
MORE PLANTING URGED
By FREDERIC j. HAsKIN.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-At this time
of the year there IS ripe for harvest one
Of the least used and appreciated Of
American food crops-that Of the nuts,
wild and tame.
The nut has fallen into such sad dis
repute in this country that the very
word has come to be fguratively applied
to humans who are slightly difficult for
society to assimilate.
Nearly every one regards nuts as in
digestible.
They are therefore given no regular
place in the bill of fare, but are always
tucked onto the end of it.
THIS is a place where they are admir-
ably calculated to maintain their repu-
tation for indigestibility.
For nutV are a rich and heavy food,
and are not in the least suited to be
eaten on top of lot Of other nourishing
food.
They could much. more appropriately
take the place Of meat, for they are rich
IN fat and contain good deal of pro-
tein.
They are great energizers.
To get the good out Of them they need
only TO be chewed thoroughly and 20
be eaten with other lighter foods in
order to form a balanced diet
No doubt an enormous food resource
goes to waste in the wild nuts that are
never gathered, but it is doubtful whether
It would pay to do the work OF gather
ing them in most places.
Down in Texas the wild pecans are
gathered regularly and a thousand car
load OF them, or more, are shipped out
Of the State every year, so they con-
stitute a real source of wealth for the
Texans

LAYS BLAME ON
SURPLUS GIRLS
BritiSher Says They Wish to
Appeal to Men.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-Because there
are 100000 more women in Eng
land than men. the women are de-
Iiberately lowering themselves in
dress to make themselves sexually
attractive to men, according to DR..
Leonard Hill, noted British physi-
clan and student Of sociology.
Bizarre colors, low-cut dresses,
transparent stockings and short
skirts indicate the intensified strug-
gle of women for making themselves
Sexually attractive" he said.
1.-The one and only reason for this
is, because of war deaths, a million
surplus women will never have an
opportunity to marry.
This desire for sexual attraction
and to a minor degree the display
of wealth, fills miles OF shop win
dows with every kind of garment de-
signed, not for warmth, comfort or
wear, but for decoration.
This same desire leads to the
painting and powdering of faces and
the articles of hair dressing.
Life is made joyous by the beau
ties OF women, but that beauty
should depend less on artifice and
more on grace OF body and beauty OF
complexion secured by outdoor exer-
else and on the kindly, sweet ex-
preston Of a generous soul.

the preservation of American ideals and
the maintenance of white supremacy, and
vital, perpetual memorial to the men
who served so valiantly in the ranks OF
the original khan.
mo man is wanted in this order who
hasn't manhood enough to assume a real
oath with serious purpose to keep the
same inviolate.
mo man is wanted in this order who
Will not, or who cannot, swear an I'M
qualified allegiance to the Government OF
the United States OF America, it's flag
and its constitution.
Only native born American citizens
who believe in the tenets OF the Christian
religion and owe no allegiance of any
degree or nature TO any foreign govern
ment, political institution, sect people or
persons are eligible for membership
In this connection Colonel Simmons
took occasion to point out that the orig
inal Ku Klux Khan was not a band of
bandits and cutthroats as foes of the
South and enemies Of the southern peo-
pie so frequently have charged-a band
Of murderers who stopped at nothing and
who whipped and terrorlzed both white
and black and vented Its spite on who
ever incurred Its displeasure.
ION the contrary" says Colonel Sim
mons, "the members Of the Ku Klux
Khan were men Of the highest type as
a body and they were working to safe
guard life and property, to ameiiorate
the terrible conditions growing out of
the presence Of the carpetbaggers and
their bsneful influence over the negro.
After the Ku Klux Khan was dis
banded by Gen. Nathan 3. Forrest, who
was Its chief, bands Of thugs and muir
derers began operating throughout the
South under the name Of the Ku Klux
Khan.
They had no organization and no legal
standing, and 1t Was the members of the
original khan who did more than any
others to suppress the operations OF these
lawless characters"
An order has Just been issued by the
Superior Court against J. b. Frost and
others of the Columbia Union declaring
that the Knights OF the Ku Klux Khan
have the exclusive right TO the symbol
showing a masked and shrouded horse
