Des Moines, Iowa.-Dr. Edwin De
Barr, So Mason, and for 80 years
vice president of the University of
Oklahoma, began lecture tour in
Des Moines on October %, planning
to spend several weeks travelling
throuhgout the state lecturing on the
principles of the Knights of the Ku
Kux Khan.
AL of the lectures are being given
to the public and anyone who cares
to attend has been barred. One of
the subjects covered in the addresses
was the political plot, which was the
basis for the recent Oklahoma
trouble.
DIR. DeBarr has made a special
analysis of the Ku Klux Klan, based
on keen observation and an under
standing of the dangers confronting
the nation. He is prominent in the
educational and fraternal activities in
the Southern states.
DR.. DeBarr defended the course of
the legislature in seeking the i'm
peachment of Walton-whose impe-
rialistic reign, he said, would have
split the citizens of the state in two
hostile camps and caused considerable
bloodshed-had the governor been
permitted to continue his "six-shoot-
er" reign of martial law. 'iia
DR.. DeBarr predicted the early
downfall of Waltonianism and the
restoration of law and order, under
civil authorities. He said that Wal
ton made an issue Of the Klan as an
excuse for martial law, when the or
ganization was less active in that
state than any state in the Union.

Official spokesmen for the Knights

The Atlantic City Lodge of Elks,

mer, has voted to expel any of their
members who may also be members
of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Herr Schwinghammer in his further
ance of these principles of brotherly

be exploited throughout Elkdom.
From the numbers of Elks who

PROPER FEEDING OF HORSES
Outline of Results Obtained in Exper-
iments Conducted at Illinois
Station.

Experiments in the feeding of farm
work horses and mules completed at
the Illinois experiment station indi-
cate that a practical work ration re-
Quires approximately a pound of con.
centrate and pound of rOughage for
every hundred pounds of body weight
of the animal fed. That amount, in
each case, is divided into three feeds.
Grain is increased little when the
animal has to work hard and hay is
correspondingly decreased. AS re-
CARDS hay, it Is best to feed most Of
ira hard work not to allow more than
pound or so of roughage at noon,
while the horse is cooling off, before
being watered and fed again. The
recommendations made by the inves-
tigatOrs are to the effect that home
grown feeds should be used and that
legume hay, fed along with ear corn
or preferably ear corn and oats,
should be made an important part of
the roughage. While it was found

ficient to maintain horses and mules
doing considerable amount of
medium hard work, it is believed that
part of the alfalfa or clover roughage
may be replaced with timothy hay,
oat hay, oat straw, prairie hay, or
corn stover, and one-third of the corn
ration may be replaced with oats to
good advantage.
In the experiments referred to in
the foregoing grain and hay were fed
in quantities readily consumed by the
animals. The grain fed in the first
three experiments consisted of two
thirds corn and one-third oats, and in
the fourth experiment of ear corn. In
the first experiment clover hay was

SEAS TAKE TOLL OF LIVES
AFTER PACIFIC EARTH
QUAKE.

Honolulu.-Seven tidal waves swep,
reached maximum height of fifteen
feet. The waves, apparently the re-
suit of intense earth shocks, brought
death to a number of persons. When
they receded they left scenes of DESC
lation and considerable damage in
their wake, took toll of lives estimat-
ed at from ten to twelve, and tossed
ships anchored in the bays or tied to
docks, about like cOrks.
The damage at Hilo and Kahului, as,
the result of tidal waves, is estimated
at $1,500,000, according TO wireless
messages received here.
Several days will be required to as
certain the number of lives lost and
the correct amount of the damage.
The known dead include a child
swept from a sampan and three jap
anese fishermen who were trapped in
the engine room of a sampan, which,
together with a scoW, wrecked the
railroad bridge across the Waluku riv-
er. One of the fishermen was be-
headed.

These shocks were stated to be the

Some time before farrowing the

may be very cheap and simple. 1t
should, however, afford shelter and
protection from winds and the sides
should be so constructed as to pre-
