izen who addressed the Khan in
Kansas City. Walker, the Cover
nor, should have been In Geor-
gia attending to affairs or state.
II was J. j, Brown, the private
citizen, who attended the KlehVo-
cation, crying on his return about
freedom of assembly. But plb
lie office-holders should not join
in secret assemblage where ra-
cial prejudice and bigotry run
rampant!
The people of Georgia mus
awaken to the present state of
conditions.
Georgia office-holders are car
rying the Fiery Cross-the syn
Dol of the Klan-to distant states
Shall the fiery cross be placed
on the dome of the capitol !
What Walker has said OF
what he may say in the future
is of little importance no.:
Georgia knows where Kilt
stands, but the quest that IS inn
portant now is where stands
other men in the State of Geor-
gia who are seeking, or who will
seek office. That's the issue to-
day and next year.
AS the Greensboro paper re-
marks, Georgia must know
where stands Senator George
and all others seeking political
preferment. There are thous-
ands who will come to the junior
Senator 8 support if he stands
foursquare on this khan issue.
There are thousands who would
not touch him with 3O-toot
pole if he fails or refuses.
We believe that Georgia
Junior Senator is free from any
khan contamination, but beliefs
are not sufficient. The people
must know. We believe that he
is destined to be one of the
great Senators from Georgia.
His future is bright. His oppor-
tunity for service is unlimited,
but he must take a definite stand
on the question of the khan.
If we are to prevent the
hosting of the fiery cross on
the dome Of the State capitol,
we must demand an unequivo-
cal stand by every man seeking
office in Georgia. That is tho
only way to defeat the plans and
ambitions of the Political Khan
in Georgia.

SHOPPING

DFIOI AINN
Women do most of their shopping
in the hottest hours of the day, says
a government report. Psychologists
are giving complicated explanations.
They're on the wrong track. It's
simply that homework prevents wo-
men shopping other than in the hot
hours. They'd prefer early morn
ing.
Nearly every problem is matter
of economics in the final analysis.
Eliminate the problem Of making a
living and there isn't much left.

TRUST

trust found by which the estate Of

"Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in

the people whose toll created the

Crafty lawyers and bankers have

the principal can be touched. Nc
link of kings ever sat as securely on
the throne as these dollars held in
trust, increasingly laying more gol-
den eggs.

Don't Let
High Blood Pressure
Shorten Your Life
How to Stop It-Read This.
Take Norma.

It may surprise you to know high
blood pressure is so serious that
insurance companies refuse to issue
policies to those who have it. All
because 1t shortens life.
High blood pressure gives little
warning, and until certain symp-
toms take hold. you do not know
1t. They are head pains, flushed
face, hot flashes, dizzy spells,
shortness Of breath, sleepelessness
and nervousness.
Only a purely vegetable medicine
like Norma that drives out the
waste matter which clogs the gyS-
tenn and forces the heart to do ex-
ira work can reduce high blood
pressure. Often one bottle of Nor
ma will bring reduction enough to
stop the symptoms which distress
and worry you.
Norma is physicians prescrip-
ton. It worked so wonderfully in
his personal practice that it has
now been placed in drug stores so
that people everywhere can obtain
it. Check the uncertainty of high
blood pressure by reducing 1t with
Norma. Peoples Drug Stores or
your favorite druggist can supply
you.

STOCK JUDGING TEAMS

twenty-five boys representing the
high schools of Bainville, Culbertson,
Brockton, Wolf Point and Poplar, at
tended the county livestock judging
contest held at the Fort Peck Indian
dairy barn at Poplar last week.
This contest was held preparatory
to the judging contest at Bozeman
and was for the purpose of giving
the boys a chance to judge some of
the classes of stock according to the
rules of the larger contest, and also
to give the coaches of the various
teams a chance to select their best
men to send to Bozeman.
A. A. Woods of Culbertson, who.
has been in charge of Boys and
girls Club work for the county, took
of the contest, and two classes
of livestock, fat hogs and dairy cat
tie, were judged. Superintendent
Woods reports that the boys have
been doing some very good prepara-
tory work and looks for some of the
teams from the county to show up
we'll at the state contest at Bozeman.
