THAT KURIOUS KU KHAN

1t is reported that three persons
in the region of Bridgeport have
received letters from the Ku KluX
Klan ordering them to leave town.
Some persons were heard to say that
it is only a prank of mischievous boys,
while other residents say that the
Klan is behind the orders that were
sent through the letters to these three
men. One person was ordered to stay
away from another mans wife.
A news item in a daily newspaper
from Pitman says:
Mayor J. NJ. MCGOWAN and Council
met Monday night and these officials
are aroused over attempts of supposed
Ku Klux Klan members to stir up eX-
citement periodically in the town. If
any more klansmen are caught set
ting flaming crosses within the limits
of the borough, it is said that disor-
derly charges will be preferred against
them.
Mayor MCGOWAN personally saw the
last cross set on fire near the town
hall last Saturday night. He was
passing in his car at the time and,
Jumping out, he kicked over the fire
brand.
Pitman's Mayor and Council must
have guilty consciences of having done
something wrong to be afraid of
ghosts at night
Eugene Field wrote bedtime story
about "Goblins Will Get You If You
Don't Look Out" One of the verses
is as follows, with the Klan word
substituted for COLLINS:
Once there was little boy ct wouldn't
says his prayers.
An when he went to bed a night away
His Daddy heard him holler and his
Nanny heard him bawl,
An when they turned the covers down,
he wasn't there at all.
They seeked him up the chimney and
everywhere. I guess,
An all they ever found of him was
his pants and round about;
An the Klan will get you, if you don't
watch out.

When Raggedy Andy and the Knight were shaking hands with the kindly Giant and telling him how glad they were that they had found him such nlce Giant, and all the little orphan children were playing out in front of the Giants cave, sud denly all the laughing stopped and all the little orphans ran into the Giants cave as fast as they could scamper, crying, Here comes a Boliverl Here comes a Boliver!"
 Raggedy Andy had never seen a Boliver, and did not know what 1t was, but Giants are afraid of Boli- vers.
 So the Giant left Raggedy Andy and the Knight standing outside and ran into his cave so fast he almost pulled the cave in behind him.
 Of course, the Knight had never seen Eoliver either, but when the children cried Here comes Boli- ver" the Knight would have run toe, only his knees shook together so hard he couldn't. And so, the Knight had to stand there with Raggedy Andy until the Boliver came running up, .Lickety split, clippity c1op!'
 You can see by the picture just what a Boliver looks like.
 Hal" the Boliver cried when he came up to Raggedy Andy and the Knight.
 Where's the Giant?"
 ..'He ran away, Mister Boliver" Raggedy Andy replied.
 Huh" Don't I know that?" the Boliver cried rolling his eyes and stamping his feet. Just you tell me that! Don't I know that he would be here if he hadn't run away?"
 Then if you knew it, you shouldn't have askedw Raggedy Andy said, For you are all out Of breath from running and you should have caught your breath before you wasted it asking silly questions!"
 When Raggedy Andy said this, 1t made the Boliver very, very angry. So angry that he twisted his tail in a hard knot and couldn't unite it.
 Now see what you didm the Boliver howled, You made me so angry I tied my tail in a hard knot! Now you've got to unite it!"
 If you wish me to unite your tail you will have to say 'Please." Rag gedy Andy replied, You can't expect people to do things for you unless you are polite." So when the tBoli- yer said "Pleasew Raggedy Andy united the knot in his tail. Now" the Boliver howled when Raggedy Andy had united the knot, T shall eat you both >up!"
