OF MEMBERSHIP IN KLAN
BY the AsSOcia ted Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, November %
Senator Samuel NJ. Ralston. in a letter
yesterday to Jacob Morgan. president
of local branch of the American
Unity League, replied to questions
propounded by the latter regarding
the Ku kluX Klan and questions as
sociated with that organization.
Three of the questions referred to
Senator Ralston's views regarding
Senator elect Mayfield of Texas. who
was said to have been supported by
the Ku KluX Klan. The first asked If
he regarded Mayfield as worthy of a
seat in the Senate. The second If he
regarded the Texas mans member

United States. and the third II he will
vote for the seating of Senator May
field. Senator Ralston replied, in
part. as follows:
Il am going to do you the
honor of saying that your sense of
justice is such that you will not, on
further reflection, want me to pre-
judge. as a judge. any mans case
that shall be submitted to me for a
hearing. For me to do so would, of
course, be gross violation of official
duty and would render me unfit to
hold seat in the Senate"
The senator said he is not and
never had been member of the ku
KluX Khan. Senator Ralston said he
did not hold the view that persons
should be Disseminated against be-
cause of race, color. creed or birth,

December 6. Estimates vary, the
highest being 1,450, or 80 more than

about 460, labor nearly 420 and about
80 independents.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
try say that interest in the fight is
extremely keen. The speakers are
having no difficulty in obtaining audi

same trouble Lady Astor met at Ply

HUTTON

The first of a series of baseball
games was played here on Sunday
afternoon last between Crellin and
the Lang-HortOn Athletic Association
of Hutton, augmented by a short
stop in the person of Mr.. Harry Hol-
land, of Terra Alta, West Va. We
hope, in time, to combine the towns
forces of both states in an organiza-
ton of this very popular sport, so
as to obtain a team of such strength
as will easily and effectually combat
any team in this section of Western
Maryland The Crellin boys deserve
much credit and commentator for the
splendid manner in which they suffer
ed their defeat, also, for their very
excellent conduct that was ever above
reproach, as their demeanor on the
ball ground was most genteel and
courteous. The game consisted of
nine innings with a score of 20 to 3
in favor of the Lang-Horton team
The following named were among the
spectators: Mr.. Merrill Carrico and
DR.. S. NJ. Scott and daughters, of
Terra Alta; Rev. Father Cornell, of
Oakland; DR.. and Mrs. William King
and children and Messrs. Jack Killen,
Charles and Dutch" Parsons and
"Chippy" Downer, of Terra Alta.
At their home at Edgewood, near
Hutton, Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Grusen-

Mrs. Arthur Clark and sister, Mrs.

Sunday here as guests of relatives.
' Miss Elena Pendergast, of Frost
burg, spent the weekend with rela-

Most edifying, indeed, was the
large concourse of people who assem-
bled here on Sunday morning to as
sist at divine worship. We are
pleased to say that the Terra Alta
people were here in very large num-
bers. Many of them remaining after
the services to spend the day with
friends, while others returned to their

FORD CARS AND TRUCKS
Business Prosperity Reflected In
Demand For These Machines

The general prosperity now exist
ing throughout the country is strik-
ingly reflected in the demand for
Ford Cars and Trucks.
Dealer requirements for May, just
announced at the office of the Ford
Motor Company, call for 100000 Cars
and Trucks, and orders making up
this great total come from every sec
ton of the nation.
The conpany's huge manufactur-
ing facilities are being utilized to the
utmost in an endeavor to increase the
daily output so that dealers orders
may be filled as quickly as possible
The proportion of increase in the
demand for Ford Products is about
equally divided between commercial
centerS and rural communities, re-
fleeing not only better conditions in
the cities, but likewise a growth of
prosperity among the farmers.
A feature of the dealer require
ments is the large number of Ford
one ton trucks. Sales of Ford trucks
have been mounting every month this
year, establishing new high marks
and May promises to bring another
record breaker. While business con-
Germs everywhere are daily turning to
the use of the Ford truck in increas-
ing numbers, the sales records also
show that farmers are availing them
selves of the advantages and economy
of motor truck transportation to a
greater extent than ever before. f.

DANCE CRAZE AND CRAZY
DANCING

Of course its an entirely different
proposition, but we wonder how long
the young lady VINO broke the long
distance dancing record could walk
the floor carrying a collicky baby.
And again, we wonder how long
she would hold out in a long-distance
dish washing contest.
We wonder what your own individ-
ual opinion is of these foolish girls
who wear out several orchestras and
half dozen male partners apiece to
get the title, Endurance Dancing
Championship Of the World?'
What possible good can be the
outcome? It's a fulfil pursuit that
will take its health toll later in the
young dancers lives. Over-exertion
always presents its bill and it al
ways collects-in full.
As we see it, there's just about as
much sense in endurance dancing as
there is in long distance running,
prize fighting, weight-lifting, auto
racing and other equally foolish over
eXerting contests.
It's interesting to watch the dance
craze with its hundreds of crazy
dancers and wonder where it will end

THE CHISHOLM FAMILY
History Of Pioneers Compiled by
DR.. James A. Nydegger

Our esteemed friend, DR.. James A.
Nydegger, whose long and success
full career as an officer in the Govern
ment Public Health Service in many
parts Of the world, has been charac-
terized by frequent publications in
the field of healing or preventive art,
has written another volume, but I'M
like previous efforts he has on this
occasion selected genealogy as the
subject worthy of his pen. DR.. Ny
degger has written and recently pub
lished an interesting volume dealing
with the Chisholms, being a history
of the origin of the Chisholm family
with special reference to the CHS
holms Of Maryland
Dr.. Nydegger says in his foreword.
There is no one who sometimes has
not wished to have at hand some au-
thentic information concerning his
ancestry, and it is with this thought
in mind that the writer undertook
to collect and put in available form
some facts concerning the origin of
the Chisholm family of Maryland
whose forefathers, having been COM
PEELED to forsake their native hills
and glens, and dared to brave the dan
gers of the sea, and endure the hard
ships and privations of the pioneer
settlers to find an asylum and estab-
lish their future home in free Amer
lea, all are compelled to admire for
their courage and manhood"
The volume is tastefuIly gotten up
and is carefully edited. The print
page is on heavy white antique STRAIT
ford paper and the illustrations are
half tones on cream cameo book
The binding is in full cloth with APP
propriate gold stamping. Altogether
the work is attractive in style and
shows extensive research. The author
deserves much credit for his effort
The book should be in much demand
by those who wish to learn some
thing of the qualities of strong char
acter so necessary in the pioneer set
tiers of this part of the State.
