might they could not attain the end

Mr.. johnson Explains
Klan Meeting to-
Be Held October 6

Mr.. I. r. johnson, who has charge
Of the local Klaverns in Kennebec
county, made 1t clear to the superin-
tendent Of public schools of Gardiner
over the phone Thursday morning
and now wishes to set the true facts
before the public relative to the Khan
lecturer who has been booked to
speak on the principles Of the or
ganization in the high school audi
forum Monday evening, October 6.
The admittance is to members of
the Khan and any whom may be in
vited to attend, Of the public In gen.
eral. The idea of using q card to
gain admittance is for several reas-
onS.
First: A large number Of citizens
are deeply interested. in these lee
lures as verified by the large num-
bers who have attended in the past
when National Lecturers have come
to Gardiner. That the seating capa-
city might be conserved to those
who would be most truly interested
and not prompted to attend out of
curiosity. the management uses this
means Of protection, as at Com
mencement Week a limited number
Of passes are issued to the most in
terested ones.
Second: After the lecture Is an
ished and the speaker gone. It Is q
quick way to learn who is interested
enough to attend and leave their
name SO in the follow up work direct
appeals can be made to people who
have heard first hand explanation
Of this much discussed topic. the
Ku Klux Khan.
Any man who has a card handed
to him, whether a member or not,
can feel he has not only been in
vited. but a>seat is also guaranteed.
which Is the only safe and courteous
way Of handling a large crowd. AS
Is sometimes the case in churches
this is q meeting for men only.

imitation had full play. He gave
convincing farm yard sounds that
made his listeners sure that pigs and
cows were just around the corner

some one was saving wood. South
crn birds, the bob white and the
screech owl, came in for their share
of atte1,ion and even the household
cana'y. He introduced the pupils
to the Success Family. The secret
OF success he said was Ito see much,
study much, suffer much. think
much and talk less" Mr.. DeBoise

ing talk. The pupils voted the trip
