to canning, preserving and allied
operations.
At the display Friday all of the
girls of the club class wore hand
some organdie hats, made by them
selves in the millinery class in
structed by Miss Parkman, and the
beauty and stylish fashion of these

doillies, and underwear, in addition
to millinery comprised the display

HELPED IN MOSQUITO
ELIMINATION EFFORT
Splendid Reports Turned in by

BREEDING PLACES ERASED
Lots of Hard Work Done by
Willing Students in Elimina-

Boys and girls attending the
Grammar school of Americus were
very active the past weeI, IN mos

Cobb, principal of Furlow Gram

of 1875 boys and girls were engaged
in the work during the week, and
due to recent hard rains there was
an unusual amount of work to be
done.
In all parts of A,nericus these
boys and girls went about, inspect
ing back yards and streets, look
ing into all sorts of out-of-way
places as well as those easily discov-
cred, which afford mosquito
breeding places. Tubs and buckets
filled with stagnant water, were
emptied; chicken coops cleaned out,
holes filled in and property own
ers informed where permanent
mosquito hazards, such as the chill
dren were unable to remedy, exist.
Many low places were drained, and
a number of low places filled in:
cutters were filled in and oil plac-
ed where it was found impossible
to remove standing water entirely,
and a number of abandoned auto
mobile tires holding water were
emptied and destroyed.
Besides the activities, the chill
dren did good deal of eucation-

TIME NOW TO SPRAY
HILEYS LAST TIME

The government and state lab
oratory at Ft Valley advises that
Hileys are now ready for final ap-
lication of spray, and peach growers
are advised to spray every Hiley
tree within the next few days.
This is an exceedingly important
treatment for both curculio and
brown rot, and an effort should
be made to thoroughly cover each
peach using the full pounds of
arsenate Of lead to the 32-32-200
self-boiled lime-sulphur. If dust is
used the 80-5-15 formula is rec
Commended for this application.
Georgia Belle should not re-
ceive the next and last spray un-
til June II, and Elbertas June 20.
Do not maye the mistake Of
spraying Georgia Bellies and Ell
bertas Immediately after finishing
HiIeys. Wait until the dates given
above.
Growers should not become over
confident as to the outcome of the
1928 peach crop. The prospects
are very bright at the present
time, and the fruit is now free
from evidences of the curculio,
however, it must be remembered
that the late peaches are now in
the stone hardening period, when
there is scarcely any curculio ac-
tivity. The acid test in curculio
control will come when the next
brood of adults begin to emerge

WASHINGTON LATEST
REALM OF THE kLAN

Another western state has reached
sufficiently numerous and active
Klan membership as to warrant its
establishment as an organized realm
of the Invisible Empire under its
own state officers. This is the Realm
of Washington which held its initial
klorero or state convention at, Seattle
a few days ago.
The Klan is stronger than ever in
Washington as was evidenced by the
enthusiastic gathering which was
presided over by the Imperial Klazik
from Atlanta. Klans were represent
ed at the meeting from Seattle, Van
couver, Yakima, Tacoma, Colfax, Bell
ingham, Walla Walla, Hoquiam, Port
Angeles, Spokane, Bremerton, and
Olympia. -
A well known Seattle business man
was chosen Grand Dragon and Hydras
and Great Titans were also named.
The realm is divided into three pro-
vinces, each under a Great Titan.
The Great Titans are located at
Spokane, Hoquiam and Seattle.
Plans were outlined for a great
membership campaign throughout the
new realm with a view of doubling
the number of Klansmen in Washing
ton in six months time.

AT FERGUS FALLS
XXX
St. Paul Editor Gives Interesting Lee.
ture on Principles and Ideals
of Klan
xxx

P. j. Orn, editor of "The Call of
the North" St. Paul weekly publ
cation, outlined the principles and the
ideals for which the IKu .Klux Klan
organization stands at meeting at
Bayley's Hall last. night.
Mr.. Orn appeared in Klan garb and
gave a powerful lecture on Kancraft.
He stated that the organization is
orderly and law abiding and has for
it's object the betterment Of the hu-
man race. It is a Christian institu-
tion. Members must take oath that
they believe in Jesus Christ and that
the Bible is the word Of God. It be-
lieves that every child should attend
the elementary public schools and
that parochial schools though well
coined must not be in session when
public school is in session. It believes
that the public school is the bulwark
of civilization and the security of
American ideals. It honors and re-
spects the Stars and Stripes and true
Americanism. It believes in single
standard of morality. It believes in
the separation of Church and State
and the freedom of speech and press.
Mr.. Orn assailed numerically the
metropolitan press for its disregard
for facts and the truth. He cited the
expression Of the press on new move
ments and showed how the facts and
conditions were distorted, misrepre-
sented and sometimes buried or ignor-
ed. He pleaded most effectively for
the purity of the home and for a
closer association of parents with
their children.
Mr.. Orn pleaded for the Bible in
the public schools and in libraries
and urged everybody to read the Won
derful Book. He stated that the or
ganization is opposed to mob action
and mob spirit. They advocate strict
racial lines and are opposed to inter-
marriage Of the White and Colored
races. He treated that subject from
biological viewpoint also. "The
Klan has done more for the Negro
than any other organization" he said,
"but we want the Negro to stay with
in his racial bounds"
The meeting opened and closed with
prayer.-Fergus Falls Free Press.
