FIatwiIIow Land

Only Land Sold in Fee Since
Geological Reports on
FIdtWilioW

A deal in Flatwillow acreage
that has been pending for over a
year was closed Saturday and re-
suited in the transfer of the Viola
Bangs land consisting of 200 acres
2 miles east of the Whaley we'll,
section % and 27-14-26 to a
group Of Minneapolis capitalists.
Miss Bangs gave an option on
this parcel Of land to L. M. Ad-
dington and DR.. Berry about a
year ago when land values in the
Flatwillow were at low ebb, the
option calling for $40 per acre.
Since the option was given Flat
willow has been gone over by
eminent geologists all of whom
have issued very promising re-
ports. This together with the
impending development Of the
Whaley company, the California
company and the Addington well
has made the Viola Bangs land
of immense value, the report be-
ing tn a t, Berry & Addington
turned it 20 the Minneapolis
capitalists at $4,000 per acre.
The land being sold in fee with
no drilling requirements it is not
known whether the Minneapolis
group intend development or ex-
pect to hold the land as a specu-
lation. In either case they have
made a good buy at $4,000 per
acre. Production in the Whaley
we'll will make this acreage worth
from SIS, 900 to 100000 at least.
This is the first deal on record
of Flatwillow land being sold in
fee since the recent geological
on that structure and is
only accounted for by the fact
that the land was optioned long
before Flatwillow came into pro-
The only deals going
on record now are royalty and
leasing. Winnett Times.

"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 Khan I
found some people who could not see
good reasons for preventing an open
air Khan 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
a kindly old lady. When I told her
I was the advance man for a Nation
al Khan lecturer, she said, "Thank
God the Khan has come. sit on my
front porch and look out into yonder
park and see things that would break
a 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 a better place to live in"
From what have learned since
coming to this town, it is a fact the
Klan. is needed here even more than
the lady member of the Park Board
is aware of.

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

Khan lecturers have been holding
open air lectures over the entire
state being we'll 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 Khan speakers. Common
statements are: "The lecture was so
different from what expected" and
1--WE 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 Khan
lecture in their respective towns,
they will accomplish nothing. The
battle is on and no oficious official
can refuse to grant Constitutional
rights. The Ku Klux Khan 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.

Canby,- Minn.-About two weeks
ago two men came to our little city
and reported themselves to be Of
ficials of the Ku Klux Khan. 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
Khan 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 Khan
principles, aims and ideals.
A Khan 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
Khan 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 a 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. 80
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 oficiary and it's
guests were lost! Mile after mile was
covered by the swiftly moving khan
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
ication. 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
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. ... 49,.

CYCLOPS OF ....
KANSAS meet
A Large Number of States Most
Distinguished Citizens
Attend

Wichita, Kans.-Klansmen from all
parts of the state assembled here
last week at the state meeting of the
exalted cyclops. Never before, it was
declared, was there such a splendid
gathering of distinguished Kansans.
The dawn of a new era in the state
was prophesied as a result of this
meeting of the Knights of the Ku
Klux Khan, who through their men,
bership in the order are devotedly
pro-American in all things relating to
their citizenship.
Stirring Resolutions.
Stirring resolutions were passed.
The resolution endorsing the admins
tration of DR.. II. w. Evans, imperial
wizard, was passed with much enthus-
iasum and proved another blow to the
enemies of the order, who have been
hoping against hope that an inside
row would develop from the attack
made on the head of the order recent
ly by a few malcontents. Indorse-
ment of the oath, the present con-
stitution and laws, support and co-op-
Grafton to George McCarron, imperial
representative of Kansas, and a
pledge of loyalty and support to the
state of Kansas and the governor
thereof and all constituted officials of
the law likewise received favorable
consideration and were unanimously
approved by the attending members.
A concluding pledge of loyalty and
respect to the Constitution of the
United States of America, which in
cludes all of it's amendments of the
specification that violation of the
eighteenth amendment of the same on
the part of any Khan official will be
punished by Punishment forever with
out fear or favor, was strongly en-
dorsed.
Strong Representation.
Ninety-fve per cent of the organ
ization of Kansas We're represented
by their exalted cyclops or field rep
resentatives, notwithstanding that the
state is in the midst of its harvest
season, the busiest time of the year
for he whole state.
The consensus opinion was that
never before was state meeting held
where there was such a uniformity of
purpose and such decision manifested
to abide by and conform to the con-
stitution and laws and the authority
constituted herein. And never before
was there so much progressive and
constructive legislation enacted upon.

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

The charter of Atlanta Khan No. ]
has been suspended by General No
than Bedford Forrest. Grand Drag
on of the Realm of Georgia, on. &C.
count of the fact that this Khan has
persistently failed to pay it's Imper-
ial, Realm and Provincial dues. The
suspension became effective July 10
and as the result its offices are auto
matically vacated and no members of
Atlanta Khan are permitted visiting
privileges in other Klans of the ma
ton. The Khan while suspended is
not entitled to any representation at
any Kan meeting, district, state or
national.
Atlanta Khan No. 1, since it was
organized, has always disregarded
the payment of dues. Because it was
the original Khan of the nation and
because it was located in Atlanta for
mer national administrators had over
looked the fact that this Khan 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 Khan 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 Khan. They are to a
great extent responsible for all the
recent litigation. -s.--..,
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 Khan regulations, but
DIR. H. w. Evans refused to discrim-
mate in their behalf. -.-. .
Klans of the country, under the
constitution of their order, are for
hidden to receive as visitors any
member of this suspended Klan.
