Junior Khan Is To
Start in Oklahoma
and Arkansas Next

Oklahoma and Arkansas next! Yes,
sir, that's the Juniors program. The
Divisional Director of the Junior Ku
Klux Khan for the district covering
these states has already been appoint
ed and is on the job. Active opera
tion of the various Junior Klans
throughout the states Of Oklahoma
and Arkansas will start within the
next few weeks.
Gradually states have fallen into
line with the Junior Ku Klux Klan
organization for Protestant ,Ameri-
can, boy patriots. The Junior Ku
Klux Khan starter operation in the
Hoosier state just nine months ago,
and from there spread to Ohio, Michi-
gan, West Virginia and New Jersey.
The growth In all these states has
been most pleasing, and Juniors have
built their local organizations to
strong units in every district. With
the strength in the Junior Ku Klux
Khan, put there and kept there by the
boys themselves, the organization is
now going into two more states that
are "rarin' to go" into the principles
of real Junior Ku Klux Klankraft.
AS soon as the Junior Ku Kiux Khan
is started in these states, the nation
al director promises action on other
states who have sent in many re-
quests that the Junior order be estab-
lished within their bounds. The next
states after Oklahoma and Arkansas
are Louisiana, Oregon, Kansas and
Missouri.
The Junior Ku Klux Khan is grow
ing and will continue to grow. This
spring and summer will see many
new states added to the list of those
in which the great Protestant Ameri-
can patriotic order for boys, the Jun
Tor Ku Klux Khan, will be started.
Junior Klansmen will remember
that only comparatively short time
ago, West Virginia and New Jersey
entered the ranks of Junior Khan
kraft, and now both states have
strong, active Junior Klans through
out their borders. All states are nov
seeing the need of such an order, il
which the Protestant American boy'
of the country receive not only tn,
wholesome companionship of Chris
tian gentlemen, and an athletic train
ing that will better fit them to NEE
the strains of later life, but also are
taught the fundamental principles o.
true American government.
In every state in which the Junior
Ku Klux Klan goes, the senior or
CARNATIONS not only give it their en-
! dorsement, but back it and work fol
it. For the fathers and mothers in
the seniors organization realize TIT
. need for such an organization fOl
their sons, and for the sons of others
They realize that the early training
/. will build a stronger Khan for TIT
future, and that their sons are get
ting the proper associations, the prop
err knowledge, and the right spirit o.
American patriotism when they be
come affiliated with the Junior k'
, klux Khan.
Oklahoma and Arkansas senior or
ganizaticns are strong. They, a
much as the boys of these states ar
eager for the Junior organization
J and the Junior Ku Klux Klan of thes
, two states is going to take runnin!
: start that will cause some of the old
er Junior Klans to keep on the huml
: if they expect to hold down honors il
, activities and membership.
Louisiana, Oregon, Kansas and Mis-
souri, also have strong senior organi
cations, and with the other tw
states coming into the organization
it seems as if ''The Big Six" newcom
ers are going to give "The Big Five
old-timers some sure-enough "bat
ties" for leadership in Junior Ku Klu
Klan circles
