"One out of every two elephants

Wage Increases Have
Helped Trade in
New England

Wage increases throughout
New England are probably the
cause of the exceptionally large
retail trade during March in
that section, according to q re-
port Of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston.
Regardless Of the fact that
Easter coming on April i this
year intensified March buying,
preliminary reports indicate
the April volume Of trade ex-

Net sales Of eight of the
largest Boston department

nearly Ia per cent over last
March, while stores in other.
New England cities reported
even q greater Improvement,
their sales being more than 20
per cent higher than in March,

KLAN LECTURERS
WELL RECEIVED
No Real Objections to Klan and
Klan Lectures Found

Klan lecturers have been holding
open air lectures over the entire
state being well and enthusiastically
received. In only three towns of the
state have lecturers been denied the
right of free speech. All press re-
ports point out the deep impressions
left by Klan speakers. Common
statements are: "The lecture was so
different from what expected" and
eve can't understand why there
should be any objection to the gospel
of Klancraft."
Although the mayors of Spring Val
ley, Redwood Falls and Lake City
have taken stand against a Klan
lecture in their respective towns,
they will accomplish nothing. The
battle is on and no officious official
can refuse to grant Constitutional
rights. The Ku Klux Klan believes
in free speech and will fight a legal
battle with every person who tries
to deny anyone the rights safeguard
ed by the basic laws of the land.

"TAANK GOD THE
KLAN HAS COME!
Aged Woman Sees Great Need
For Klan in Her Town

A Village in Southeastern minnesota
I arrived here with information
about the place which would indicate
that no Klansman could expect a
welcome in this village. Although a
certain element was very unfriendly,
in fact bitterly against the Klan I
found some people who could not see
good reasons for preventing an open
air Klan lecture and their better
judgment prevailed.
So I went to the Park Board and
was permitted to advertise "Twi-
light" Orn's lecture for the park.
One member of the Park Board was
kindly old lady. When told her
I was the advance man for a Nation
al Klan lecturer, she said, "Thank
God the Klan has come. I sit on my
front porch and look out into yonder
park and see things that would break
mothers heart. Certainly, you
may have my permission to use the
park. I only hope you will get
strong here so that you can make my
town better place to live in"
From what l have learned since
coming to this town, it is fact the
Klan is needed here even more than
the lady member Of the Park Board
is aware of.

Many People Sincerely Seek to
Learn More About X. X. X.

Candy, Minn.-About two weeks
ago two men came to our little city
and reported themselves to be Of
ficials of the Ku Klux Klan. When
these two men were asked to produce
their credentials they did so to the
satisfaction of all interested.
The town was billed advertising a
free lecture. That evening about a
1000 people estimated by the number
of information cards given out,
gathered and heard splendid lecture.
Even the people who were expected
to be prejudiced admitted that the
Klan lecturer said nothing to arouse
class or group strife. In fact every
body was very much surprised in that
newspaper storiees had givn many
an entirely wrong impression of Klan
principles, aims and ideals.
A Klan organizer is now at work
here and has found people here in
goodly numbers who see the great
need for this militant, protestant,
christian, American organization.

KLANCARS WANDER
FAR FAR ASTRAY
Klan Officials Have Fun Finding
Meeting Place.

St. Paul, Minn.-St. Paul and Still
water klans combined in a poppy
open-air meeting in Washington
county on Monday night and burned
a 2S-foot fiery cross preliminary
to the program. Klansmen from
Ramsey and Washington counties
focked to the field and healthy class
of candidates was introduced for in
itiation. Everything was ready for
the push-off when it was discovered
that the state officers and the speak
ers of the occasion were missing.
Where were the missing men? All
sorts of conjectures were rife, with
visions of ditched cars or other calam-
tiles floating in the minds of the
throng.
Meanwhile, how Jared it with the
missing potentates? The situation
would have been comical if it had not
been exasperating. The truth of the
matter was that the officiary and it's
guests were lost! Mile after mile was
covered by the swiftly moving klan-
car, but as only two of the missing
men had ever seen the meeting place
before, and then under unfavorable
conditions, it was guess-work with
them as to the right route. Every
branch road looked alike; landmarks
on which they had fondly fixed their
hopes were either marvelously miss
ing or appeared with astonishing dup
lication. After sundry wrong turn
ings information was sought from To-
cal residents with the result that
about two hours after the appointed
time the long expected car was sight
ed, heading across the wheat fields for
the still-burning fiery cross. The pro-
gram was resumed, candidates were
welcomed, bundles of the new state
newspaper were distributed and snap
ped up eagerly by news-hungry loyal
lists. The speakers enthused the as
semblage with their reports of the
great progress made far and wide by
the klans. "Old-timers," veterans in
the state program, told of the unex-
pected realizations of the past year
and the meeting closed in time to per-
NIT every klancar to reach home by
midnight. Such open-air affairs are
held regularly by St. Paul and ad-
jacent klans.

K. K. K. RESTRAINED
Injunction Against Knights Granted

Albany, N. Y, July 26 (Associated

Hinman, Wednesday granted the ap-
plication of Deputy Attorney Gen.
eral Griffin for a temporary injunc-
tion restraining the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan, Inc, and the Kane.
liza, Inc, from exercising the powers
delegated to them under certificates
of incorporation issued by the secre.

The basis for the application was
an allegation that the certificates OF

CHARTER OF ATLANTA
KLAN IS SUSPENDED
Source of Past Klan Troubles
Revealed

The charter of Atlanta Klan No. l
has been suspended by General No
than Bedford Forrest. Grand Drag
on of the Realm of Georgia, on ac-
count of the fact that this Klan has
persistently failed to pay it's Imper-
ial, Realm and Provincial dues. The
suspension became effective July 10
and as the result it's offices are auto
matically vacated and no members of
Atlanta Klan are permitted visiting
privileges in other Klans of the ma
ton. The Klan while suspended is
not entitled to any representation at
any Klan meeting, district, state or
national.
Atlanta Klan No. 1, since it was
organized, has always disregarded
the payment of dues. Because it was
the original Klan of the nation and
because it was located in Atlanta for
mer national administrators had over
looked the fact that this Klan was
never in good standing and permit
ted them not only to continue in ar
rears but actually granted them spe-
cial financial privileges from the ma
tional treasury at the expense of
other Klans.
The administration of DR.. H. w.
Evans, however, declared that At
lanta Klan must be subject to the
same rules as other Klans Of the ma
ton and that they were entitled to
no special consideration. He request
ed that they pay their dues just like
the rest of the Klans. This attitude
made leaders of this Klan bitter
toward the present national admins
tration and they have been trying to
stir up internal strife within the
ranks of the Klan. They are to a
great extent responsible for all the
recent litigation.
Repeated attempts to make At
lanta comply with the constitution of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
having failed, there was no other al
tentative for their own Grand Drag
on but to suspend their charter. This
action was not taken until ample op-
portunity had been given them to
comply with Klan regulations, but
DIR. H. w. Evans refused to discriin-
mate in their behalf.
Klans of the country, under the
constitution of their order, are for
bidden to receive as visitors any
member of this suspended Klan.

The Saltwater Klan at this meet
ing made arrangements for another
