Shoppers

Why not a useful, wearable
gift this Christmas? She'll
surely like it. This year more
than any other, giving will
be done with wearable gifts,
gifts that will be a constant
reminder of the giver and rem
der a real service to the ap-
preciative recipient.
If there ever came to the
women Of Fairmont an oppor-
tunity to buy for less than
they have dreamed of for
months, the opportunity is
here and now. January prices
in December, and a full
month more to wear the gar
m.ents = two reasons that
merit appreciation.

ty. The circular sent out says that
a representative will be in Ordway

perial Wizard Simons has to say
about it:
" The modern Knights of the Ku
Klux Khan" says Col. Simmons, lis
a legally chartered patriotic and fra
ternal organization. 1t is non-sec-
tional, non-partisan, non-sectarian
and non-political. 1t stands uncom-
promisingly for enforcement of all
laws and stands ready at any and all
times assist if called upon in aiding
properly instituted authorities in
suppressing outbreaks against law
and order. 1t is the duty of all
Klansmen at all times to land their
moral and physical support to all
movements tending the betterment
of the interest of the community, the
state and the nation. The ku KluX
Klan stands for the separation of
church and state, Limitation of immi-
graion, freedom of speech and press,
prevention insofar as is possible
of causes that lead to lynching, con-
troll of the white race in all govern
mental affairs, but without injustice
to any race OF creed"
Its purpose is to inculcate the sa
cred principles and noble ideals of
chivalry, development of character,
protection of the home and the chas-
tity of womanhood, eXemplification
of pure patriotism and preservation
of American ideals and institutions.
Being strictly an American institu-
tion only one hundred per cent Amer
lean citizens are eligible for member
ship. These must be white, native
born, adhere to the tenents of the
Christian religion and owe no allegi-
ance of any degree or nature to any
foreign government, political or re-
ligious institution, sect or people"
