IMPERIAL WIZARD
 IS TO BE ARRESTED
Klan Opponent Fears Plot Against
 His Own Life

Atlanta. Ga, Nov. 7.-Peace war rants for the arrest of pr. Hiram w Evans, imperial wizard, and three other officers of the <u Kux Kan on complaint of pr. Fred B. Johnson, chief of staff of William Joseph Simmons, klan emperor, who was quoted as having expressed fear of injury at 'the hands of the Evans faction" is the latest development at tendant upon the question of the shooting to death, last Monday of w.. S. Coburn, attorney for the klan fac tion fighting Evans, by r. E. Fox publicity agent for the kan and edt- tor of the Knight Hawk" q klan publication.
 Associates of Dr. Evans named in the warrants are H. k. Ramsey. inn perial kligraph, or national secretary of the order; Crown Harwood, inper- ial klazik, or head of all grand dra- cons. and T. J. Mckinnen. head of the investigation department of the IIan. The warrants were issued, ac- cording to newspa permen, by Muni- Cipal Judge r. c. Hathcock late last night when Dr. Johnson went to the judges home to make his complaint. They were given deputy sheritts to b" served. but the men named had not been takn into custody early today
 Fears For Own safety
 Dr. Johnson was quoted as having told Judge Hathcock that his reason for requesting the warrants was fear for his safety due to the killing ot Coburn by Fox and statement fo him by Fox that he, l.. Y. Clarke Emperor Simmons and Coburn were all slated to go."
 Tn previous statement issued shortly after the killing Of tobur'' ur Johnson said Fox called on hln last Sunday at the home of Emperor Simmons and said:
 "T have been sent here to kill you.
 pr Evans is said to be either in New York or en route to Atlanta McKinnon is said to be at his resi- deuce at Norcross. Ga, and Ramsey and Harwood, who live near the i'm perial palace, were not at home last night, deputy sheriffs who attempted to serve the warrants reported.
 Fox still silent.
 Fox, indicted yesterday afternoon for murder, remains silent concern ing the motive for the shooting. Other | than hts first statement 10 the effect that Coburn had in his possession doc l uments that would ruin him, Fox has said nothing that might hint at his reason for the crime. Existence ot any such documents WAS denied by Dr. Johnson, who said he had nided | Coburn in preparing the papers Fox is said to have believed would be damaging to hts reputation if made | public. Dr. Johnson was quoted as saving that Coburn and Fox were comparative strangers.
 Newspapermen said that Fox. after spending an apparently sleepless night after the shooting, was highly nervous yesterday, but seemed to be- come more nearly normal last night.
 Announcement was made from the | solicitors office last night that q ron- ference between investigators and prosecuting authorities would he held today to review evidence in eonncc- tion with the staying Of Coburn.

CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR HONOR
and Platinum Cross From
Rumanian Legation.

To be the possessor of a war cross
from a foreign government and yet
unable to determine why he should be
the recipient of the honor, is the pc
culiar plight Of Ira III. Burke, Kansas
Legionnaire. Recently Burke received
package from the Rumanian legation
at Washington containing the insignia
cross of the Star Of Rumania, cast
in white gold and platinum, and a
royal brevet on heavy parchment, bear
ing the signature and seal of the Ru-
manian king. An accompanying let
ter explained that he had been made
knight of the order by King Ferdi-
nand. Burke served as captain in the
Forty-fifth infantry overseas, but can
not remember when he ever came in
contact with any Rumanian nor Of
anything he has done TO deserve the
decoration. Having been so far I'M
able to find anyone who can read the
Rumanian language, he is still at sea
about the matter.

Captive Reptile Exhibited Remarkable

"As wise as a serpent" signifies the

in that sense every day. But are

Nevertheless, big reticulated

body. If the snake were TO survive,
the dead epidermis must be removed

from its box, gently sprayed with

Where the Rainbow Ends.

Conrad Peterson lives near Fred
eric, in Burnett county. He is a
farmer and has been establishing
his business on alfalfa growing.
To get the ground limestone need
ed to keep his soil in condition
he has been hauling the stone
eight miles, at considerable ex-
pense. And then a few weeks ago
the family cat died, and Mr.. Peter
son took his spade and went out
behind the barn to dig a grave.
Now, the day before the cat died
Mr.. Peterson had attended coun-
ty agents conference in which the
properties of mari were discussed.
What pay dirt is to the miner,
mari is to the farmer with soil de-
ficient in lime. Mari works like
magic to make alfalfa crops grow.
If Mr.. Peterson only had a good
supply of mari
Mr.. Peterson sank his spade in
to the earth, and dumped the soil.
The bottom of the spadeful of
ground was a white crumbling
mixture. Mari is like that in ap-
pearance. Mr.. Peterson dug more,
and then he went to the house and
got the vinegar cruet. He poured
some of the vinegar on the white
eatrh and it effervesced. He had
learned at the county agents
meeting that this was the way to
test for mari.
No longer does Mr.. Peterson
hitch up the team and go eight
miles for ground limestone. He
has better fertilizer right behind
his own barn. Nor is his an iso-
lated instance. There are others
who have found success because
they realized the value of having
knowledge of their business; who
take advantages of the services of
our agricultural colleges and the
scientific methods devised for
more economical production-who
are thus able to recognize the pot
of gold when they find it behind
their own barns, instead of sitting
down and wishing that they might
set out for the distant spot where
the rainbow touches the ground

WiscOnsin's Hospitality.

Comment by tourists shows that
the success of Wisconsin as va
cation land is almost as much due
to it's Hospitality as to it's natural
advantages states the Milwaukee
Journal. This spirit of welcome
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS makes a
marked impression on travellers.
These people have run away a
little while from the colder bust
ness of earning a living and they
want contacts of different sort
with people.
Especially in the northern part
Of the state, say the tourists, is
this spirit of hospitality manifest.
The newness Of those sections, no
doubt, is partly responsible for
that. They put up no Keep off
the grass" signs up there. Wher-
ever the traveller stays, his host
takes a personal interest in his
comfort. That never fails to count.
Of course it is a business PROPOSE
tion-this matter of entertaining
northumberland it must be run
on business principles or it will
fail. But there is way to do it
coldly, and there is a way to do it
that gives something to the tour
list more than his board and room.
Wisconsin must conserve it's re-
sources must keep the things
that make coming into the state
worth while. But its success as a
playground will be quite as much
due to its hospitality-a hospital
ity that makes the tourist from
outside the state think of Wiscon-
sin when he thinks of his vaca-
ton.
