Health Center Day.

The Maternity and Infant Health
Center Day will be held at the
Court House, Oct. 4, 1923, from
900 a. m. to 500 p. m. Examina-
tions will be made by DIR. Mildred
Van Cleve of the state board of
health, Madison. This is DIR.
Van Cleve's last visit to Eagle Riv-
err as she is leaving the State
Board of Health to enter private
practice.
During the past few months the
attendance has dropped consider
able and unless we improve the
attendance, it is feared that the
Directors of the Health Center
will feel it necessary to remove the
Center from Eagle River. Every
one is urged to come and help re-
tain the work that has been start
ed. Oftentimes mothers feel that
it takes a good deal of time and
work to attend; they also feel that
their children are in good health
so why bother This is all very
true, but how do you know? Ev-
cry man who owns any machin-
cry goes over it a couple of times
month to see that it is in good
working condition. How about
yourself and your children? Some
little defect found now and cor.
rected may mean great deal lat
er on. Mothers please realize the
value of these examinations anC
bring in the children. We want
to have a large attendance, the
kind we. had last fall.

LOSS FOR ADVERTISER
Hand Bill and Program Ad-
vertising is Money Thrown
Away = Newspaper Gives
Value.

The observing business man
knows that the most economical
as we'll as the most effective adj
vertising medium lis the newspa-
per. A newspaper advertisement
remains alive and impressively in
terests casual as we'll as the regu-
lar readers.
The hand bill and the program
are indifferently read and laid
aside, they are but momentary,
disinteresting incidents of the day.
They have their uses but they are
confined to the principal thing or
event they announce otherwise
they have little Or no advertising
value. The merchants knows this
but feels that the price charged is
a donation to the solicitor and his
fear of offending prompts him to
give the price rather than decline.
The merchants poster, hand bill,
letter or newspaper announcement
is his single announcement and
his alone. 1t is his especially and
the attention is paid to it that it
merits.
Of all advertising mediums the
newspaper is pre-eminently the
most economical and productive of
sales results. There is no question
about this.-Antigo Herald.

W|LLMAR HEARS !
KLAN LECTURE
xxx

Willmar, Minn.-Mr. Orn, editor OF
the "Call of the North" spoke to q
large audience of men and women at
the Basonic Temple here, last Thurs.
day.
It is estimated that twice as many
people had to be turned away as
were able to find room in the Ma
sonic Temple auditorium. Mr.. ORR
was persuaded to remain for a meet
ing on Friday and was again greeted
by filled auditorium.
Several frank outsiders" came to
the Friday evening meeting for the
specific purpose of causing all posi-
BILE trouble, but were politely" in
vited to leave and did so "frothing
at the mouth" When these "Snoop-
ing SHUTS" gained the street, they
cursed most beautifully damning
the speaker and the Khan most ode
|lightfully."
Several hundred men are ready to
unite with the many Klansmen now
living in Kandiyohi county. It won't
be long until Koming Kandiyohi Khan
will take second place to but very
few Minnesota Klans in membership
strength and no Khan in spirit and
activity.

ISSUES A-MONTHLY
"KALUMET KHAN KRONICLE'
MADE IT'S INITIAL APPEAR
ANCE ON OCTOBER

A small but "peppy' monthly pub
|lished by the Pipestone County Klan
made it's initial appearance, October
first.
It is needless to say that the ants
became somewhat bewildered when
they first picked up a copy of the
"Kalumet Khan Kronicle." We can
hear the "haters" talk in whispers,
as they look nervously in every direc-
ton, "The men who sent out that
darn sheetlet ought to be driven from
our county" Of course, it would be
natural to expect that the "snappers'
will do everything in their power to
intimidate any and all real Ameri-
cans actively applying the principles
of Klankraft. Pipestone County
Klansmen, however, do not fear the
devil and all his co-workers, so will
60 ahead ever mindful of what it
means to be a militant American and
Protestant.
On the front page under the head
line "Pipestone County Keep Faith"
we read, "Pipestone county has kept
faith with the pioneers of old, join
ing hands with a pioneer cause.-The
Ku Klux Khan. This summer has
witnessed the burning of four crosses,
each one of which gave out in it's
fiery light the message of Pipestone's
progress"

MONTANA IS LATEST
REALM IN EMPIRE
xxx

Following on the heels of Arizona,
Indiana and Illinois, Montana is the
latest state to become an organized
realm of the Invisible Empire.
The Realm of Montana was con-
stituted and organized September 16,
last, at a melting of Montana Klans-
men held at Livingston with the
Imperial Klazik presiding. The
growth of the Khan in this western
state has been rapid during the past
few months tand under the direction
of its own state officers the member
ship is expected to increase more
speedily than ever before.
At the Livingston Klorero, dele
gates were present from Kans at
Helena, Boseman, Kalispell, Glas-
cow, Red Lodge, Butte, Lewistown,
Havre, Terry, Harlowton, Missoula,
Great Falls, Miles City, and Roundup.
The Grand Dragon of the Realm
of Montana and his Great Titans and
Hydras were chosen at the meeting.
Montana is divided into four prov
inces. The Grand Dragon is a well
known business man of Livingston.
The gathering was a most enthusiast
tic one.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 10.
-RiOting charges against N. c.
levitt, grand dragon of the Ku
Klux Khan in Oklahoma, and two
other men were dismissed late
today by Justice of the Peace,
Leo B. White after a preimin-

ago of E. r. Merriman.

night for launching impeach-
ment proceedings against Gov

Klans in all parts of Minnesota
send delegates to state Klorero called
at st. Paul, October 7.
On the evening of the 9Th the dele
gates then in the Sanity City were
invited to a frolic, where St. Paul
Klansmen royalty entertained their
visiting brothers putting on series
of "stunts" that brought continuous
uproars of laughter. It is rumo-ed
that many Klansmen spent the "wee"
hours of the "morning after" sew
ing vest buttons to their proper
places on the quite useful part of a
mans clothes. Klansmen present at
the Saturday evening session all
agree that they had a "crackajack''
of time and look forward to the
next statewide meeting of hundred
|percenters.
The Sunday all-day session began
at 1890 A. M. The morning meet
ing was devoted to introductiens, so
that Klans officials and laymen might
get better acquainted with one an
other. At this meeting it was re-
vealed that twenty-seven fieldwork-
ers were now active in the state and
that many more were ready to begin
work in a few days, thus bringing
the number of organizers in the state
considerably over thirty. We heard
many delegates state that they were
much pleased to learn that men of
weight and manly fiber were serv-
ing the Great Movement as field
workers. And it's a fact that there
isn't scapegoat. in the ranks of the
K. K. K. organizers active on the
"battle 'front.'" We certainly are
glad that real men answer the call
for service in the cause of Klankraft.
The afternoon meeting was one
filed with inspiration. The King
Kleagle for Minnesota went into
detail on matters pertaining to Or
ganization, laying out carefully the
machinery necessary for an active
Klan. Many were surprised to learn
how simply and effective an intricate
Organization can function when
Klansmen are alert, and aroused to
the tremendous demands of Ameri-
canism.\
The King KlEagle pointed out
that the Invisible Empire calls for
unselfish service. He said, "The
Klan is not one-man organization,
but a movement made effective
through cooperation" The King
KlEagle emphasized the Importance
of a membership which understands
fully that many real men can accom-
plish more than few. He urged the
need for a united Professionalism
overlooking with love for God, Home
and Country. Throughout his ad-
dress the head of Minnesota Khan
dom stressed the need for a vision
clear enough to bring the realization
that the Ku Klux Khan as a move

Doctor was at his best and most eff

Klankraft.
At six o'clock the Klansmen dele
gates enjoyed banquet at the Ryan
hotel. After the repast some left
over details were taken care of, fol-
lowed by brief remarks on various
subjects of special interest to Kans-
men, but not intended for those not
concerned.
Shortly after 9 P. M. Klansmen
began getting ready for their home
ward journey. We feel certain that
no man left the convention without a
greater enthusiasm for the move
ment and a determination that will
result in wonderful strides forward
in Minnesota Klan affairs.
From the Klorero their came sew
eral revelations:
(1) the Ku Klux Klan is in Mime
sofa to stay; (2) the Ku Klux Khan
is already power for good in the
state; 90 the Ku Klux Khan is eff

American movement so far as Min
nesota is concerned; (4) the men,
bership of Minnesota Klans is in
creasing at a remarkable rate; (5)
Minnesota Klansmen are more fully
understanding the part they must
take as Americans and Protestants;
(6) Klan organizations are now found
in practically all the counties of the
state; CD the personnel of propaga-
ton in this state is accomplishing
wonders, all things considered; (s)
the best elements in the state are
joining the Ku Klux Khan and on the
job at all times; (9) over the entire
state Professionalism is rapidly
awakening, pulling the scales of
mental-blindness from its eyes;
(10) the Gopher State Klansmen are
successfully obstructing the advance
of anti-Americanism; (1D the Ku
Klux Khan of this state knows where

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Governor J.
C. Walton wants to show his good
faith in his fight against the Ku Klux
Khan. How does. he want to show
his good faith? The despot feels
himself slipping on the plank which
the people of Oklahoma creased most
plentifully, and in one last frantic
effort shouts for a "chance to show
good faith" Being a very "bashful'
man, "Jack" just couldn't say it loud
enough-well, anyway, he will step
down from his throne, providing the
legislature passes an anti-Klan law.
Dictator to the last breath of his po-
litical life, he will be-that now is
clear.
With the legislature in special ses-
sion by rights from the people, now
an absolute certainty, Walton knows
that on the tomorrow he'll need a job
and wants his anti-Klan supporters
to believe that he was sincere in his
"bulldoggery," and, therefore, emit
tied to a splendid position. Not for
a minute did he expect Oklahomans,
as whole, to pay much attention to
his "dictation," as laid before the
legislature; the legislators are
laughing right out loud, for the man
is actually getting "funnier'' every
day.

The Oklahoma governor must be
