TOO DRY TO PLOW John Dickey from west of Frederick says that the dry weather has practically ruined the wheat, most of which will be plowed under as soon as there is sufficient rain to moisten up the ground.

He thinks there will be fully a third more land put into cotton west of town this year than last. Because the land is SO dry the farmers are about up with their work, waiting for a rain before putting in their cotton.

We especially wish to thank those who gave the many beautiful floral offerings. Your kindness and sympathy will always be remembered by us. Henry Scheler and children.

FARMERS MAY HAVE LAST WORD ON UTILITY BILL, OKLAHOMA CITY, April "folks back home" may finally decide what shall be the fate of the revocable permit measure. After this bill had passed both houses and been approved by Governor Trapp opponents of the measure took steps to circulate referendum petitions and friends of the measure in the senate decided to cooperate in having the much debated measure passed upon by the While the measure deals with the manner in which public utilities shall be permitted to operate in cities and towns, a referendum on the bill would result in having this question decided by the farmers of the state, who far outnumber residents of cities and towns in voting strength.

Two Kinds of Ku Klux Klan "I am not here," said Wankan in opening the discussion of the accomplishments and aims of the Klan "to stir up strife and religious or racial hatred.

That is not the object of this great secret organization, despite the propaganda you hear along that line, nor am I here to defend the Klan. I hold no brief for the Klan. It needs none. It can defend itself. Its accomplishments are its own best defense, but I am here to tell you what the Klan stands for, to show you something of its accomplishments and to give you an idea of what it expects to accomplish hereafter.

"First I want to call your attention to the fact that in the great public imagination there have grown up two kinds of Klans--the Klan of the newspapers and the Klan of fact. According to the first the Klan is a secret organization banded together for the purpose of violating the laws of the land, to stir up religious and racial hatred, to conspire in political affairs and fill public offices with men who will serve the organization, to persecute the Jew, the Roman Catholic and the negro.
