ANOTHER FREY CROSS

Last Friday evening, three long
blasts, gave notice of another Ku
Klux Khan frey Cross This time it
was almost at the top of the Big A
Hill, in full view Of the whole city.
Below this could be seen five little
red lights and several flashlights, a.
round which gathered the members
of the Khan, to further their plans
and to complete the business of the
evening. The Catholics, Jews and
Negros were CONSPICUOUS by their abb
sence, and the business places about
town were also conspicuous for the
absence Of their owners, managers
and clerks for it did seem that about

that the members are getting ready
to throw away their masks and give

UNCLE TED'S BEDTIME STORY
BETTER BUSINESS, BUDGET
AND BATTLESHIPS

IF he really wanted to work there
is plenty of it to do,,' said Freddie to
Jacy, discussing one of the men in
town who was always loafing and
saying he couldn't get any work.
fer every man in the United States"
1That is quite different from the
condition we were in when President
Harding went into the White House."
said Uncle Ted, who had Joined the
circle of kiddies.
You children will possibly re-
member that at that time there were
millions of men out of work and
everyone was going around worrying
and wondering what was going to be-
come of our country. Today the re-
verse is true. We should be mighty
thankful fora business Administrat-
ion at Washington that has a record
of accomplishing three great big
things"
"What are they?" asked Jack.
"Most important of all, l believe,
was the enactment of Republican
tariff law that prevented foreign
countries sending their goods here
at prices that would ruin our indus
tries. Even as it is, we are buying
more abroal than we did last year.
If the taxes on imports had not been
increased, we would be ruined. Next
in Importance has the saving of pub
lie money under the Budget System
and the efforts of President Hard
ing and his assistants to economic
in public expenditures. Third, |
would say, the great Washington
Arms Conference, resulting in the
first definite businesslike agreement
between nations as to the reduction
of weapons of war, and the making
of friends across the Pacific. On
this third point l want to tell you
few interesting facts.
'The countries that signed the
Washington ornaments treaty are
preparing to scrap some of their big
ships in accordance with it's provis-
ions, and use the metal in them for
the manufacture of articles for peace
time use. Only the approval of
France is needed to make the treaty
effective and to start the scrapping.
Instead of killing people, the great
guns and steel sides of those mon
ster ships will be melted up and
turned into plows, rails, engines, etc.
Just think what it means to our coun
try and to the world to have inspired
a treaty that fixes the limit of size
and number Of big and expensive
battleships that the more powerful
nations can have. It is put an end to
competition in those ships and saved
billions Of dollars to the taxpayers
all over the world.
"As for the prosperous condition
of our country today, l want to tell
you some of the things President
Harding said recently when he was
in the State of Delaware. He said:
"sThe United States has got
back to work and that's good
sign. 1t is necessary always
that we all dig down and do our
best, that we may hand down a
better heritage. In doing this

COMMISSION DIVIDES ON
DECISION
Mines Owning Cars Will Also Cease

Fair TO Industry.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Rail-
roads were forbidden today by the
Interstate Commerce commission to
give amy special supply Of cars to
bituminous coal mines whose prod
uct is intended for railroad fuel, or
to give mines which own coal cars
them selves any preference in car
supply.
The order was issued to become eff
fective September /, and represented
the commissions conclusions in a
long controversy between railroads
and mine owners over the rules now
regulating the distribution Of rail-
roa dcars, especially as they operate
in times Of shortage.
Heretofore it has been the prac-
tice Of railroads to allocate equally
among mines which they serve in
proportion to production capacity,
such cars as have been available. At
the same time mines which produce
coal for railroads have been assigned
additional cars for the purpose Of
petting out railroad fuel. In addition
those mines whose owners have par
ticipated private ears held under
past railroad practices to be entitled
to all Of their own cars available and
to a prorata share Of the railroads

the eleven that established this
new record for the college were
five married players.
