letter TO COOLIDGE
ON KLAN BELIEVED
PUBLICITY STUNT

Washington, Dec. 2S-Action of e.
Y. Clarke, former high official of the
ku kluX Khan, in making public
letter to the president prior to it's
presentation at the White House,
was criticized today by a spokesman
for President Coolidge, who asserted
that such course tended to indi-
cate that the communication was
written more for publicity purposes
tlan for consideration by the execu-
tive.
Mr.. Coolidge, the spokesman said,
was thoroughly familiar with the
methods of those who seek publicity
by directing letter to the president
or some other official. The spokes-
man indicated that no attention
would be given Mr.. Clarke's letter
other than the acknowledgment Of
its receipt forwarded today to the
former Khan official.
The letter was made public here
yesterday through Edgar Fuller, Sec
rotary to Mr.. Clarke who suhse-
quently transmitted it to the White
House.
Inc ACKNOWLEDGEMENT made by Mr..
Coolidge merely said that the letter
had been received and read with
interest" In his letter Clarke de-
clared An element" of the Khan was
diverting the organizati ton from its
original ideals and his services were
at the disposal of the president in
any endeavor to remedy the exist
ing evils"
The presidential spokesman in ex-
pressing his criticism of Clarke's ac-
ton emphasized. however, that while
Mr.. Coolidge always resented publ
cation of letter addressed to him
prior to its receipt because it violat-
ed the principle sof ordinary courte-
sy such publication would not nre-
JUDGE the president in considering
any communication possessing real
merit.

IF YOU want your garden to get
l up and hump itself. you should
be sure that you are feeding your
crop sufficient nitrogen. This. more
than any other element. is what
makes plants grow vigorously.
If you want the greatest results
in your garden, study caOefully the
question Of the nitrogen supply.
There are three general sources
Of nitrogen for plants-first, the
animal manures: second. the min
eral nitrates, such as nitrate Of
soda, ammonia salts, ETC., which
are perhaps the most quickly avail
able Of all, used at the prop
er time, but, third, it must be re-
membered that there are tons of
nitrogen in the air over every acre.
which can be captured and held by
clover and other, legumes.
Sweet clover will grow and pro-
duce more hay, pasture or seed
