WEEKLY PURCHASE PLAN
FOR FORD PRODUCTS

| Detroit, Mich, April 18-The Ford
Motor company has just made ma
tlOn-wide announcement of the new
Ford weekly purchase plan, which is
accepted here as a enthusiastically
Ford action and new and forward
looking move in the marketing of au-
tomObiles, to be carried on by the
company's dealer organization num-
bering over 5000.
That it will benefit millions of ia
miles and have most salutary effect
upon the auto buying public goes al
most without saying, as it places
something of a new light upon motor
car ownership wherein the purchaser
is able to avail himself of this mod
ern necessity
For some time past Ford dealers
have been selling cars and trucks up
on what is known as the deferred
payment plan in which the purchaser
makes a substantial initial payment,
secures his car and completes the
payment for it in regular INSTALL
ments-
This has been and will continue to
be of immense benefit to numerous
auto buyers whose means do not per-
nit the full outlay for car at the
purchase time, but who can easily
make the required regular payments.
Now comes the Ford weekly pur
chase plan, which will make it poss-
ib1e for additional millions to own
and operate motor cars as under the
terms of the, plan as little as. $500
will start anyone toward the owner
ship OF a Ford car, Ford truck or
Fordson tractor. This initial pay
ment, as we'll as all subsequent pay
ments, will be deposited to the GUS
toner's credit in a local bank and
draw interest at the regular savings
rate.
1t extends to the Whole family an
opportunity to participate in the car
purchase by permitting each member
to contribute a small amount weekly
to the plan with the wholesome effect
of intoxicating thrift and also de-
the benefits to be re-
ceiyed from regular and consistent 4

THE KLAN'S ATTITUDE
TOWARD WH|PP|NGS

"The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
as has been stated many times before,
stands unalterably opposed to law vio-
lation in every way, shape or form" "
says Imperial Wizard DR.. H. w.
Evans. If Klansmen, acting as in
dividuals and in violation of the
solemn oath of their order, are found
to have participated in law violations,
so much the worse for them.
"a Klansman who violates the law
or tries to put himself above the law
by committing an act of violence is
doubly guilty. He has broken the
laws both of his state and of the
Invisible Empire and he will be doubly
punished.
"Floggers need not attempt to
shield themselves behind the power of
the Klan. The Klan has no room for
such men. It has offered substantial
rewards for arrests and convictions
in various whipping cases. They will
be paid all the more gladly if oath
violating Klansmen are proved to be
involved" ~

FIERY CROSS AT WASECA
COUNTY FAIR

Owatonna, Minn.-On Friday night,
September Ia, large fiery cross add
ed to the Waseca county fair attrac-
tions. The appearance of the beau
tiful Klan symbol was unannounced
and unexpected. The men who put
on the special feature had no con-
nection with the fair but evidently
outsiders slipped into the grounds
unnoticed and quietly arranged the
details without being seen. No one
seems to be able to gain the identity
of the perpetrators of the terrible
outrage" Some few seem to think
that the men who contributed so
splendidly to the fair program
"should be hung from a willow tree
by their ears"
Just before the cross was given to
the flames a circle of Red Fire lit
the sky. A flash startled the people
who shortly saw the long fingers of
fire spread along the upright and
arms of the cross. "What does it
mean ?-what does it mean?" came
from all sides. The questions stand
with answers.

KLAN LECTURE

Report Current That Attempts Will be
Made to "Get" Any Klan Lee
turer Who Appears in Saltwater

Saltwater, MINI. Heralds adver-
tising Klan lecture appear on the
streets here. The bills state that
twilight" Orn will speak on the Ku
Klux Klan and that "there will be no
disappointment this time" Some
time back the Mayor of Saltwater
stopped a Klan lecture for unknown
reasons. 1t is rumored that several
men of known church membership
had promised "some real stuff" if
the Klan lecturer attempted to speak
in Saltwater, which it is alleged led
to the mayors action.
Private property has been rented
by an official of the Klan and court
action will follow any attempt to
stop the meeting. Klansmen will be
present in numbers to fully protect
the lecturer from any possible
harm.
The Call of the North goes to press
too early to give a report of the
meeting in this issue.

RESIDENTS COMPLAIN TO SHER
IFF OF NOISE MADE BY
ROCKETS.
(St. Paul Dispatch.)


Citizens in the vicinity of Little
Lake Owasso complained Monday
night of the noise rockets fired by
members of the Ku Klux Klan, stag
ing a meeting on the hills above the
lake. II
About 500 attended the meeting,
most of them from St. Paul as indi-
Gated by the route taken by the au-
tomobiles leaving the scene following
adjournment, after IL P. M. The
fiery cross was not lighted, but small
crosses around the speakers stand
were burning and searchlights played
over the lake and the surrounding re-
gion. ~
When complaint came of the noise
Deputy Sheriff Conley went to the
scene and watched the proceedings
from a boat but after his arrival the
gathering was orderly and the noise
subsidized.
Three weeks ago a meeting was
held at which deputies of Sheriff
Wagener's office estimated 1900
were present. All wore robes but
were unmasked at Mondays meeting.

(Granite Falls Tribune.)

Granite Falls Tribune.)
A flaming cross on the side of the
hill across the river from the north
end of Prentice street at nine-thirty
o'clock, Wednesday, denoted the or
ganization of the Ku Klux Klan in
Granite Falls according to local peo-
pie in touch with Klan affairs.
The cross, about twelve feet high
and half as wide, was first noticed on
the dark hillside shortly after nine
o'clock and continued to burn until
after ten. Mystery surrounds the af-
fair as no one knows who erected
the flaming symbol. However, ac-
cording to those interested, the Klan
speaker who was here two weeks ago,
told his audience that when they saw
the flaming cross, it would mean that
local organization of at least twen-
ty-five members had been perfected
and that then "the wrongdoers would
fall to their knees"

ship. They are going to comply with
all the laws of the state and nation.
Such is their sworn duty as Klans-
men; and over and above that, such
is their absolute duty as American
citizens. There will be no clash or
conflict between law and Klan, for
the Klan is always supporting, aiding
and assisting in every way possible
the enforcement of the law through
and by the regularly constituted Of
ficials of the law" .-
Meanwhile all fair-minded Ameri-
can citizens are urged to withhold
their judgment in the matter until
the Tulsa situation is finally worked
out and made public.

Okla. Governor
Running Wild
Jack" Walton is as Reckless as
Bull in China Shop.
Oil State Executive Faces Impeachment and Prosecution

cratic manner by damning the truth
as tending to "incite riot" and "cause
trouble" The Tulsa "Tribune" had
courage enough to defy the governor
in publishing facts that the people
were entitled to know. At once the
governor jumped on the "Tribune"
and placed a military censor in its Of
flee. Evidently Gov. Walton found
Czarist methods so repulsive to the
people of his state that he thought
better of his tyrannical order and
lifted the censorship with the quick
ness that a man drops hot poker.
The Tulsa "Tribune" denies emphati-
cally Governor Walton's charges that
the newspaper has "agitated against
the states military investigation of
masked activities Tusla county"
Any man that has stood in the
way of a free hand program of anti
Klan activity has been denounced and
threatened by the governor. That the
Oklahoma governor is using his posi-
ton to aid in his personal fight Of
antipathy toward the X. K. K. stands
out conpicuously. The governors
method of madness is combination
of wildcat, jack-ass, steam-roller and
bulldog. Like jungle chief of the
African wilds he seeks to crush all
that insist on justice and fair play.
Governor Jack Walton of Okla
homa will not deceive anybody by
his recent outburst of anti-Klan zeal.
It takes a bigger man than he ap-
pears to be to put up good front,
and no amount Of grandstand playing
will patch the gaps in his political
fences. Behind Mr.. Walton's mar
tial law crusade the people of Okla
homa discern various ulterior mo-
tives.
Many interpret his activity as just
so much cheap political flubdubbery.
1t is no secret that he wants to be
United States Senator from Eastern
Oklahoma. He has admitted as
much. Using the same general meth
DDS by which he was elected governor
of the state, he is now making a
political bet against the Knights Of
the Ku Klux Klan. Apparently he
believes he can crush the order, lay
down a barrage Of spurious issues,
create dissension among the decent
people, and unite the undesirable min
critics of the state in sufficient num-
bers to win the senatorial toga. How
ever, without doubt he will fail.
Rejected By Klan
Again, there are those who believe
that revenge may be one motive in
volved. 1t is a matter of definite
record that Jack Walton did not al
ways frown upon the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan. Indeed, there was a
time when he desired to become a
member of the order. Through alb
solutely irregular procedure, because
out of his jurisdiction and without
the required Investigation, a member
of the order-who, by the way, is no
longer member-gave Walton the
obligation. When his petition and

''Jack' ''

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.-Gov-
ernor "Jack" Walton is getting into
the mire of his own foolishness deep
er and deeper. That he regrets many
of his official acts during the past
month is becoming more obvious each
day, but he simply can't find a way
out of the mess into which he has
placed himself by hasty and ill-ad-
vised actions.
There is no doubt but that the
Governor is feeling himself slipping
and slipping fast. Every day sees
the ranks of Klan supporters getting
larger. Law abiding citizens in ever
increasing numbers are questioning
Walton's action in calling out the Ma
tional Guard units in order to en-
force his recent proclamation of mar
tial law.
Governor Walton's Wife a Catholic
1t is recalled that while the COVER
nor himself is not a Roman Catholic
his wife is of that faith, and it is
understood that the Walton children
are kept very much under the in
fluence of the church. Many see in
the prosecution a statewide plot to
harass and Cypress the Klansmen to
such an extent that the organization
will disintegrate as the result Of the
governors policies.
cts a duplicate of the Mer Rouge
fasco over in louisiana last winter
is the way leading Klansman Of the
state sized up the situation. "Gov,
Parker in our neighbor state is a
Protestant with Catholic wife. Gov
Walton is also Protestant and mar
ried to Catholic woman. The two
cases have so much in common that
Protestants are becoming exceedingly
restive. The Louisiana governor did
not get anywhere with the United
States government when he attempt
ed to enlist it's power and influence
against the Klan, and the people of
this state are confidently expecting
their own governor to fare likewise
Klan Officials See Into Propaganda
Klan officials are of the opinion
that the alleged offers of their or
ganization to strike a bargain with
the governor by disbanding in the
state if he will withdraw the troops
is just little more Roman Catholic
propaganda Matched up for the double
purpose of allowing the governor tt
withdraw from a position which is
becoming more untenable every day
and at the same time to discredit the
Klan. But if the present temper OF
the people is maintained Gov. Wal.
toms activities will also pass in judg.

At LAUSANNE
CONFERENCE IS Split
GREEKS SAY TURKS HAVE Wo.
LATED TREATY AND WAR
NOW LOOMS

Lausanne.-lf Turkey insists on war
to settle the question of the indemnity
she claims Is due from Greece, then
Greece will accept the gage Of battle,
NJ. Alexandris, the Greek foreign min
lister told the foreign correspondents
here.
The Greek delegates, he added, will
be withdrawn from the Near Eastern
conference II Turkey persists in her
reparation demands.
The Turks have given no indication
of an intention to recede from their
reparation demands, and n. Alexan-
dris' declaration that Greece was re-
solved not to pay cent Of indemnity
brought increased pessimism In con-
ference circles
The Greek foreign minister denied
that he had come to Lausanne In a
bellicose mood. but said the Greek
army had been reorganized since the
overthrow Of Constantine and now
was well equipped and able to take
care Of itself.
NJ. Alexandris added that he would
like the American people to realize
Greece's position, especially that al.
though Greece had numerous proyoca-
lions which would reasonably justify
her in reopening the war with Tur-
key, she had ignored them all, because
she was sincerely desirous Of peace.
The seizure by the Turks Of the i'm
poverished refugees funds in the
banks Of Constantinople, continued the
foreign minister, and the abominabls
treatment Of Greek prisoners Of war,
recently arrived from Asia Minor, con-
sdtuted such provocations.
The Greeks and Turks had signed
a separate convention at Lausanne In
January for the compulsory exchange
of populations, with the distinct pro-
vision that 1t should be imperative
before May l. yet the Turks have
sent an additional 10000 refugees
since the signature Of the convention,
in gross violation of its terms.
The allies, as well az Greece, had
protested. but Turkey sent still an
other boatload Of 5000. The latest
provocation, according to NJ. Aenxan-
dris, was the steady dispatch Of Tur-
kish troops into eastern Thrace, vio-
Iating the Mudanla armistice.
II have just received a telegram
from Athens" he added, shat on
Saturday 1000 additional troops
crossed the struts as reinforcements
to the Turkish army already mobil.
lied In Thrace."
With reference to possible war, H.
Alexandris said: Turkey seems to
feel that Greece was beaten In the
war and therefore owes an indem.
nifty. But this Is grave error, as
Greece was merely beaten In battle
in Asia Minor, and hostilltles were
suspended by an armistice which
Greece Is trying to transform into
peace. But II the Turks propose to
resume the war to obtain an indem.
nifty then Greece accepts the chal.
lenge.
"My government has determined to
retire from the conference when the
indemnity question comes up in a
plenary session, IL Turkey insists
upon an unjust position or any effort
Is made to force Greece to accept
this position"
