The fact that there was an increase
in tn number Of women In the suicide
list last year Is laid TO business troubles.
but the explanation does not explain
except TO those who put II forth. for we
do not believe that women actually sue
ct1rnb to worries more quickly than DO
men. Women from the beginning of
time have had TO bear the larger bur
den of petty annoyances and real
troubles, and today are continuing
under that unequal lead. Perhaps II
we could look further we would nnd
that women may be driven to such
acts By the neglect. abuse and tyranny
of an unit or unappIeciative husband
and not because Of business worries. "A
woman has tenfold more occasions for
worry than has a msn--if there is real
cause that is worth worrying about
and no matter how dark may seem the
outlook she maintains a splendid faith
that she will eventually win out and
she sticks till stse does. Unless her
reason is entirely overthrown IL is rare
indeed, that the fair sex is 80 cowardly

ANOTHER MYSTERY
IN KLAN WORKINGS
Secrecy Surrounds Identity OF
Man Seeking Atkins Arrest
as Embezzler
ONLY NOTICE IS TELEGRAM

Mystery in keeping with the weird
rites of the Ku Klux Klan surrounds
the identity of the man who is seeking
to bring +. w. Atkin. Grand Goblin
Of the Eastern Atlantic Division. into
the Central Police Court on charges Of
embezzlement.
The charges nre alleged to have been
pernl Kleagle, buy the only official
notice of the charge that Atkin has
received up to the present is telephone
rall from Captain of Detectives Souder.
The latter informed the former Grand
Goblin that he Is expected to appear
before MAGISTRATE Renshaw in the Police
Court Friday.
The word that Atkins arrest was
desired seems to have been waited from
Atlanta Ga. where the headquarters
Of the Klan is located.
It is reported that Clarke desires At
kin's presence in Atlanta to answer
the charge Such an attempt will be
fought vigorously by counsel for Atkin.
lie declared that the action against the
former Grand Goblin was trunped up
in the hope of preventing him from
telling of the unsavory conditions within
the order in Atlanta.
MT. AtKln cOunScl HlSO sulu lHuI
the only thing demanding the arrest of
Atkin so far was telegram from
Atlanta. He asserted that this was
a poor substitute for warrant. and
declared that the Klan in Atlanta should
not be permitted to hide behind the
Philadelphia Detective Bureau.
incidentally it is said that plans to
establish new organization under the
direction of Atkin and other former
officials are going along rapidly in this
| city. Atkin has enlarged his headquar
ters in the Heed Building. and there
Is considerable hustle and activity about
the place which the promoter says is
indicative of faith in the new order.
That desperate measures are being
rcsortcd to by Klansmen who believe In
the old order of things is shown by re-
ports from Columbia, s. G. AccordinS

LIKE A REGULAR ATHLETE
E. c. HALL, Manager
Moscow, Idaho

Motion picture goers who wonder
at the amazing feats of strength dis
played by Smoky, the Humanee, in
the two-reel Chester Comedies will
not be surprised to know that this
wonderful animal is kept as carefully
trained as any crack athlete and that
his condition is as closely watched as
the star performer of the rack or
ring.
In "The One Best Pet" the latest Of
these picures which comes to the Ken
worthy theatre Monday, he performs
such feats as rescuing a child from
the top of lions den by climbing
along a fence and then down a tree
with him. A little later he saves the
child from the top of church steeple
These and numerous other thrilling
deeds he does apparently without eff
fort. AS a matter of fact, Snooky's
strength is amazing to the uninitiated.
