 Colonel Simmons studied fourteen years to prepare himself for launching the movement to perpetuate the mem ory and the spiritual purpose of the old Ku KlnX Kan. In 1915 he unfold cd his plans to thirty-four of his friends. all of whom were enthusiastic over hte proposal and all signed petl- ton for charter.
 The charter was granted by the State of Georgia in December. 1915. and il short time later a special char ter was granted by the Superior Court of Fulton County Georgia. Since the Klan had among it's charter members several of the original Klansmen the revived organization was held to he the legimate heir to the old klan and in its charter was granted exclusive right to the use of all it's signs. symbols. regalia, etc.
 The Knights of the Ku klux klan, according to Colonel Simmons. stands for four great fundamental principles, as follows:
 1. A greater devotion and absolute loyalty to the original and fundamen- tai principles and ideals of the found CTS of America
 ?. Supremacy of the white race in the social. political and governmental affairs of this nation.
 2. The everlasting Separa tion nj church and state In America.
 I. The protection of woman's honor and the sanctity of the home.

"It stands as firmly for the preservation of law and order and does not seek. under any circumstances. to further it's principles by the use of force of violence. intimidation or threats. but by constantly preaching and teaching the gospel of pure Amefi- canism and love of home an country.

SUPERVISED ADJUSTMENTS. ONE OF MOST INTERESTING. BRANCHES OF |. D. S. WORK

One of the most Interesting and surprising departments of the Latter Day Saints work is their social eff forts. Some churches place a ban on various forms of entertainment, but the Mormons encourage amusement, for instance, dancing. They have large auditoriums in all their stakes and wards for that purpose.
 This work is carried on by social committee, whose duty it is to pro vide amusements for the members. From Salt Lake City, where every thing is passed upon by a general board. which is composed of experts along this line, those in the Maricopa stake receive instructions to enter into certain kinds of amusements, and they make recommendations. They suggest plays pageants, pienics, dances and socials of every descrip- ton.
 The Mormons are instructed to open all their entertainments with prayer, and a few words of prayer are offered before leaving. At the dances there is floor manager who has charge and sees that there is no objectionable person dancing, or do- ing anything against the rules of the hall There are lessons of instruc- ton at different periods. wherein are shown the latest styles of dancing. Contests. with prizes, are held for the best and most refined dancers. and on very many of these occasions the younger people. that is, the boys and girls of about 16 to 19, act as judges. | They themselves are taught the cor rect positions by being guided by older people, yet in many instances they manage themselves, and very often young men and women are placed on committees alongside of older ones. They see where the faults are and transmit them to the friends in their set. This responsi- bility leads many people to take the right viewpoint.
 In each stake there is a stake social committee. It meets with the ward social committees once a month, and each committee brings in | it's troubles and they are thrashed | out at the meeting. Many times there are five at these meetings. One ward will have certain troubles along Q 1 certain line, which another ward has
 already overcome. hence the views oi l the others are taken and their meth ods adopted. At these meetings such things as Sunday school baseball oi
 basketball leagues are organized Al 1 the wards get together and compete with each other, and other churche. are asked to come into the leagues
 At summer volley ball there have 1 been many pleasant games whicf
 have included the older people. I The stake and ward soei ial com 1 mittee give parties for the married people and also the aged. Thei

everything in business His store, far removed from the heart of the
 Mesa business district. attracts its full share of the town trade. Honest and courteous treatment with an earnest endeavor to deal on the nar- rowest possible margin of profit are
 the causes, the owner sets forth.
 R. c. Clark first came to the Mesa
 district If years ago. He was
 solicitor for an easy wringer mop.
 He hustled about and got few or
 ders and then directed the manufac-
 turing company to send him some of
 the mops by express. collect on de-
 livery. When they arrived here. he
 didn't have the money to get them
 but he finally induced John Brown, a
 rancher of the district, to advance
 him enough funds to release them
 from the express coulpany's office. He continued his work on the streets of Mesa.
 Seven years later he had saved enough money to start in business in small way at his present location. The store, although known as the East End grocery, handles enough other kinds of merchandise to war rant its being known as a general merchandising establishment. All kinds of fresh and smoked meats are handled, the meat department being given special attention.
 All kinds of aluminium, granite and l galvanized ware are carried in stock as we'll as automobile accessories. tires, tubes, gum boots, tennis shoes, cotton picking sacks, hay and grain. garden seeds and gasoline and oils.
 The vegetable department is one of the features of the grocery store. l Fresh fruits and vegetables are re-
 ceived each morning, either from the local or California producer, accord ing to season. The grocery stock
 also is complete in every detail.

ORANGE BLOSSOM Is MEETING PLACE FOR MESA YOUNG PEOPLE

The most popular of all meeting places for Mesa young people is the Orange Blossom, owned and ope- rated by c. w. Brown. It is the recognized center of informal social activities in the down town district. place where young folk can gather and find amusement.
 The Orange Blossom is a place for the young people, to do with as they like so long as they conduct them selves in an orderly manner, to use the words of the owner.
 Established in 1917. the Orange Blossom was originally operated by Messrs. Cuff and Brown. In the fall of the following year, Brown pur- chased the interests of his partner and has since operated the store as the sole owner and proprietor.
 Mir. Brown came to Mesa about five years ago. He was a travelling salesman out of Los Angeles for many years. representing a wholesale paper house in this territory for Is years. Soon after locating in Mesa, he became associated in the Orange Blossom.
 Everything for men in the way of notions, is the motto of the store. A complete line of cigars. tobaccos,

the old have to be entertained also. Recently at large party in which SOD took part, 1t was a happy sight to see the old folk dancing an old time quadrille, with a Mormon bish- op as call master-yes, a bishop do- ing his best to make the older people happy. In the same hall and in the same dance. there were three quad rille sets of young people doing the same dance. In the modern dance hall today they don't have these old time dances. The Mormons have the Virginia reel many times, and the father gets out and dances with his daughter and the son dances with his mother. These are things the committee is trying to bring about, although there are times when they are not very successful. The social committees aim in life is to get the father with the son and the mother with the daughter. Recently there was a father-and- -son hike, and over 400 fathers and sons camped, played ran races and contested for three days. They went into the mountains near by, where there was a convent ent stream, and swan together in the old swimming hole. It's remarkable what can be done through organiza- ton.
 It is customary with the Latter Day Saints that wherever they are. after they have built and paid for their church building, the next thing is to build an amusement hall, and 1 then they get an entertainment or ganization to work. There is no haphazard mixed-up affair staged all is done in an orderly manner. The chairman of the social commit tee confers with the bishop of the ward, and he O. Ks the entertain- ment, and when the amateur plays are staged many nights of hard work are spent in training before the play is placed before the public. These plays are not put on to make money, but are staged for the mutual i'm provement of the young people, and to teach them to appear before a
 public audience, for the training it
 will give them. In fact, it is part of the mutual improvement work to
 stage so many plays each year. Then ! each month each ward has to give some kind of an entertainment.
 ! The Saints believe that the young i people have to have so much fun and | frolic, so much time to amuse them-
 selves. and the Latter Day Saints church feels that it ought to be gov
 erned by the church and under the direction of the church. Hence ii
 spends hundred and thousands of
 dollars in each ward for that purpose
 in buildings. In Salt Lake City the
 Deseret gymnasium, which cost
 $200,000 was built for that purpose and many other expensive buildings
 are being used. In Mesa, the L. D
 $. auditorium cost a large sum oi
 money, and it was purchased tc 1 amuse, to entertain, to educate, tC 1 instruct, and to take care of the idle hours that young people have to spend
 in amusement during their restles: period of youth.

MESA SEED AND FEED SERVES RANCHERS OF SOUTHS|DE DISTRICT

The Mesa Seed and Feed company, established in September 1919, has filled a long felt need in the Mesa district. It played an important part in establishing closer relations be- tween the rancher and the Mesa busi- ness man and has rendered valuable service to the farmer.
 The Mesa Seed and Feed company purchases the farmers products, sup plies him with selected seeds and, Tn general, contributes materially to his welfare. Highest market prices are paid for seed and feed, the company shipping in carload lots to northern and eastern markets. Company officers are F. E. Quick. president and manager, Charles M. Johns :. vice president, z. Pierce, treasurer, J. w. smith, secretary.
 When it first opened for business a little more than two years ago, the company was without warehouse facilities. Need. for storage room was manifest early and so the company took steps to meet this urgent need. They felt that to operate success fully, a warehouse equipped with all modern machinery was essential.
 So they constructed warehouse at Third avenue and Hubbard street. Nine thousand square feet of floor space was provided, the warehouse being one of the most up-to-date plants of it's kind in the entire state.
 The company manufactures the Southside Brand of poultry feeds, of which it makes a speciality It also handles all kinds of seed, feed and poultry supplies.
 Wherever possible, the company p11rcbases from valley producers and ships to other sections of the country Within the past year the firm has | shipped more than 75 carloads Of | seed and feed to northern and eastern l districts.

The duke of Wellington with his stately and aristocratic look gazes down on members as they pass through the main entrance Honesty, pride and dignity are written there.
 But a head of Lord Nelson at the side is more interesting. Each siae of the face is modelled differently, so that the impression of a man ofthe world is given as you look at the pro trait from the left, and of a dreamer s you look at it from the right In the one case the modelling is firm, ln the other soft.
