FIRED THE ORGANIZER
ku Klux Khan Agent Order
ed Out of Amigo by Citi-
zens and Business Men.

Several cities are now going
through an unpleasant experience
that of closing their city limits
to any organizer of the KuKlux
klan. Last week an organizer en-
tered Amigo and proceeded to or
ganlze. Before he had proceeded
very far delegation of American
Legion men, business men and cit
izense, fifty in number, persuaded
this man and his deputies that it
would be healthier if they would
leave the city at the earliest pos
sible moment. Just before the or
ganizer left he said: Il will re-
turn in October and will lead
parade through your main streets"
Whether he will do such thing
is to be determined later.
According to papers in the west
part of the state, organizers for
the Khan attempted to secure
members in Rice Lake and other
nearby cities, but were ordered
out of town. Some time ago a
like incident happened in the
village of Elcho.
A fat man and an |. w. w.
worker entered the village for
the purpose of starting his or
ganization. He had spread but
very little of this propaganda
before one of the mill laborers in
Fish's mills, informed the fellows
that he would be given very
few hours in which to gather up
the literature he had spread,
and get out Of town. He got"
while the getting was good. It
might be added that there has
never been any labor difficulties
in Elcho, and moreover, if it is
left to the workmen. themselves,
there never will be.

One Born Every Minute.

A solicitor of the Post Office De-
partment makes the estimate that
a million guIlible Americans year
| ly lose a billion dollars in money
and property in m all fraud
schemes. Even if the Postal attor-
ney who has given this subject
close attention in a hundred mil
lion or so In his figures, the am
cunt is still so large as to- stagger
the imagination. The loss falls
upon people who can least afford
to stand it for people who have
had the ability to acquire consid-
cradle savings do not usually fall
for the schemes of the crooks. It
is the man or woman of small
savings who becomes the victim.
There ought to be a few prin-
ciples SO clear that no proof of
them is necessary. In the first
place, if man has an oil stock or
gold mine stock or some sort of
industrial stock that really has
value, he will not be paying some
stock salesman commission of
25 or so per cent. to sell it for
him. If the man who owns it
and is in the best position to know
its value, is anxious to sell it,
that fact ought to be conclusive
evidence that it is really worth
less than the price the owner asks.
He is not a philanthropist. He is
selling because he thinks the
money he asks is worth more than
the stock.
Another plain fact is that in
buying commodities the purchaser
is safest in dealing with the local
merchant upon whom he has a
comeback" if the article is not
as represented The Post Office
Department tells of mail order
concerns that advertised certain
number of yards of silk at a low
price and buyers received silk
thread for their money. No local
merchant ever tried to put over
scheme like that. There are I'M
doubtedly a few well established
and responsible mail order houses
which always deal honestly with
customers. They could not other
wise stay in business. But even
where the concern is honest, the
purchaser does not have the con-
venient opportunity to exchange
goods if~not entirely satisfactory.
In the long run it pays to deal
with the merchants in your home
town and make your investments
through and with the advice of
your local banker.

PETITION is CIRCULATED
FOR NEW COUNTY ROAD

A petition is being circulated and
freely signed for the establishment
of a new patrolled highway between
this city and Red Wing, MINI.
The road in question is already es-
tablished, the petition asking only to
have the route improved and patroll-
ed.
The route asked is that which
branches off the Ellsworth River
Falls road (Highway 35) Just south
of the Randall school house, gcing
west through Cherma and following
the Trimbelle valley to a point be-
tween Diamond Bluff and Hager
City. 1t is an almost dicect line to
Red Wing, and one that would mean
a great saving to traffic, not only in
distance but in the fact that there
are practically no severe grades
from one end to the other.
The petition viii be presented to
the County Board when it convenes
next week at Ellsw orth.

Tie matter Of keeping open our
winter roads should come before the
county board this fall. Pierce
county is receiving nearly half a
million dollars a year from the state
az Wisconsin for maintenance Of
roads-a SUM which seemingly could
be stretched to cover ali twelve
mouths, especially as there are only
FIVE or six times during the winter
sometimes net that many) when
storms drift the roads full enough
to stop traffic. Hand work is slow
ana expensive in winter as it would
be in summer. At moderate cost
Pierce county could equip itself to
keep the winter roads open for all
kinds Of traffic.-Spring Valley Sun,
