KLANoLoGY, A STATE OF

Those who think there is no Khan

greatly mistaken. The Khan is grow

no membership in the hooded order

tice II has become today more than
an organization, II is type OF
thinking. A type OF thinking which
is becoming widespread A type of
thinking which IS stirring UP -AstEeds-
against peoples and creeds in places
where il did not exist. A type of
thinking which sets the stage for
the appearance OF a dictator. The
Khan mind revives ancient preju-
dices, appeals TO emotionalism and
turns its back upon the ideals of
Americsnism.
None who love America can be a
Klansman in membership. nor spirit
though he be neither Negro. Jew
nor Catholic. For the Khan is funds-

WHITE ROBBED GANGsTERs:

The Khan must be destroyed
These white robed gangsters who
mob, lynch and burn: who take
the dictation OF law. politics and
religion in their own hands, must
be outlawed. Not by denying them
free speech and the right to organ
ize but by a thorough program Of
education. By focusing upon their
creeds and activities the searchlight
OF reason and publicity.
Every paper, periodical and or
ganization which believes in Ameri-
canism should launch a campaign
OF education and exposure Of Khan
beliefs and practices that will hit
this political-religious-racial mon
strosity a blow between the eyes
which will send it back from
whence it sprang.

Oh, love you, Elto Johnson,

Just think of the days we have
spent together
me pulling ON the string.
Trying hard to start you,
just to see you run;
And you just sit there and smoke.
Oh, what wonderful fun!
We start out in the morning,
just to take a spin,
And then along after dark,
l come rowing in.
And you sit there and watch me,
as l buck the tide;
You back there in the stern
having a good ride.

It's that muffled laugh of yours,

Darling, have never cussed you,

But it seems to me right now

Don't think, Elto Evinrude Johnson

Schools At Bethel Will Be Moved
From Banks Of KuskokWim River

landing for small boats and freight,
aside from the Northern Commercial
Company dock, was washed away
along with its approach. A green
house and well cultivated garden
also were lost. The church itself
will have to be moved. Two houses,
including that of f. Drebert, Super
intendent, have been moved and it
appears two more will have to be
moved. Two Easements and a zoo
foot strip of ground were counted
among Mission losses.
The damage began during the
ice run in May, when two islands
above Bethel which had protected
the town washed completely away
and allowed the current to work
against the main bank. One island
covered with small brush and will
lows. was 200 feet wide in 1929.
The other had been cleared and
Ieveled by Nat Browne, plane own
er and pilot, to be used as land
ing field
"A buldAA cut dBOuA w AGSb Y" -
washed out in four hours directly
in front of the Federal School, but
later stopped, leaving eight feet
of water standing where there was
formerly a sloping beach.
Erosion of the bank in front Of
the Moravian Mission began about
Z o'clock one evening. By midnight
the green house and its site were
gone. The bank continued to cut
rapidly another 10 feet while two
houses and a water tank were be-
ing moved.
Because of the depth of the wa
ter and the heavy run of ice each
spring it appears to be impossible
to build a dixie or bulkhead to pro-
tect the bank, Snow says in his re-
port, but suggests that a ditch cut
through from a sharp bend three
miles above the town to another
sharp bend three miles below town
would divert the main current and
leave Bethel on slack water. Length
of the canal which would have to be
cut would be about half or three
quarters of a mile.

PILOT WITH NEW PLANE
FLYS INTO CUSTOMS TROUBLE

ANCHORAGE - Pilot Kenneth
Neese, who arrived here yesterday
with new Beechcraft alrplane
from Seattle has arranged to do some
explaining to the government Cor
stopping at Juneau, en- route north
to Anchorage. Juneau is not an ac-
credited port of entry for airplanes
from Canada.
Neese said that customs officials
seized his plane and threatened to
fine him $500, then allowed him to
proceed here after giving him forms
to fill out, explaining his action.
The Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce Immediately took Neeses side,
adopting a resolution asking that
juneau be established as a port of
entry in addition to Fairbanks and
Ketchikan.
Neese, who bought the new plane
at Los Angeles recently for COM
mercial service, was accompanied by
his wife, their daughter Betty, II,
and Mrs. Dorothy Hammerstein of
Santa Ana, California, a sister of
Mrs. Neese.
He brought north cargo of corn
on the cob, celery, Persian melons
and green beans.

DR.. ROMIG BITTEN BY BEAR
WHILE DRIVING ON MAIN ST

ANCHORAGE - DR.. J. H. Romig,
veteran medico of the north, sus-
tanned injuries TO the right ear this
morning when he was bitten by a
bear while driving his automobile
along the new pavement of Fourth
Avenue.
The bear, cub about two months
old, attacked DR.. Romig from behind
without warning, and the physician
found it difficult to pay strict at
tention to the mechanical features
of driving while the animal bueked
and reared in an attempt to chew
his ear entirely off the side of his
head
The ear bled considerably but DR..
Romig escaped further injury.
The bear was riding with DR.. Ro-
mig on the shelf behind the seat in
his coupe.
Dr. Romig said the bear was sent
to him two days ago from near Tai
keetna, because it was too tough
to be kept by a railroad mainten-
ance crew.
"In keep him at my ranch this
summer and release him next fall, y
Dr. Romig said. But the little fell
low is going to have to learn to be
more mannerly."
Railroad employees sent the bear
to DIR. Romig. The mother was kill
ed when she stood on the railroad
track and challenged a locomotive
to a fight. Two cubs survived and
the train crew took them to the
nearest railroad camp When the one
cub proved too tough for them, he
was sent to DR.. Romig.

YOUNGSTERS DISPLAY PRESENCE
OF MIND WHILE LOST IN WOODS

PALMER - Presence of mind
such as few adults possess was
shown here by three Palmer young
sters last week when they became
lost in the woods, established camp
and waited until morning to be
found.
The youngsters were Laurie Stock
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. c..
Stock and Mary Ann and Donald
Mellish children of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Mellish. The oldest young
ster is 10 and the youngest five
years old.
The three went into the woods to
hunt mushrooms. After several
hours they found they were lost and
decided to camp until morning.
The youngsters cut boughs and
gathered moss to make beds for the
night. Then one lay down to sleep
while the other two brushed away
mosquitoes.
The children said they had plan
ned that they could staVe off hunger
by chewing grass and swallowing
the juice. There was some crying,
but the youngsters maintained gen
eral calmness and planned their pro-
gram carefully.
After the children had been over
due three hours a searching party
found them. Parents, neighbors,
friends and members of the Gee
camp had organized the search and
rescued the children about three
quarters of mile from the COM
munity center.

JUNEAU - Because of steady IN
roads made recently by the Kusko-
kwom River. the Government school
at Bethel is to be moved next win
ter, superintendent Claude NJ. Hirst
of the Office of Indian Affairs has
announced.
Earl McGinty, CONSTRUCTION su-
perintendent, will go to Bethel to su-
perYise the moving, for which sup
plies are being shipped to Bethel.
A tractor already on the ground will
be used to drag sections of the
school building across the ice to
safer ground.
AS to the village itself, Hirst said
he had sent a request to Washing
ton for the War Department to make
aerial photographs Of the river above
and below Bethel to determine just
what the Kuskokwim situation is
and what can be done to avert
washing away of the town Of $50
persons.
A full report on the rivers dam
age at Bethel was received here to-
day from John P. Snow, Reindeer
Unit Manager for the Office of In
dian Affairs at Bethel.
Damage to Bethel property this
year due to the rivers cutting has
amounted to $1725O. Olsen Broth
ers' store lost two cabins and must
move five buildings Chris Nerby
spent $1,000 trying to protect the
bank in front of his store with
sandbags, moved four buildings and
lost a 250-foot strip of ground.
Louis Moneher moved his store
building and lost two cabins and an
underground frost-proof cellar.
Government Nurse Mrs. Lulu
Heron lost an ice house, coal house,
basement, heating equipment, and
garden to the river when she had
her house moved away from the
caving bank. The Office of Indian
Affairs paid 1925 to have the house
of Mrs. Jacobsen, a widow, moved
500 feet back from the river bank.
Largest loss, amounting to $500
already, was suffered by the Morav-
ian Mission. The Mission dock, only
