KANSANS RESENT MEMORY
OF ITS GRASSHOPPER FLAG IE
Recent Reports From Argentina Show
lifter Plague Was Mikl in Compar
ison.
Wichita. Ivans., Sept. 28.—(/P)
Kansas folks arc exercised over the
fucf that the old time grasshopper
plagues remain in the memory to
plagi\e the state while more serious
visitations in other states and other
lands are forgotten.
In 1N74 a horde of grasshoppers
that darkened the skies invaded Kan
sas. leveling fields and denuding trees
, and vegetijjtmn of all foliage, poison
ing wells and rivers that were chbleed
with their bodies, and literally block
ing roads. The plague seriously
checked the settling of Kansas, still
an infant Matte.
Now. “to judge from recent re
ports from Argentina.” remarked for
mer Gov. Hi-nry Allen recently, “the
Kansas grasshopper visitation was as
mild as a cloud of gnats in compari
son.
“Tens of thousands of tons of lo
custs have been trapped. Barriers
of steel sheets many miles in length
are set up to stop the pests. The
government has a special bureau to
cope with them. They have come,
not only one year, but a number of
years in succession.
“But for some unexplainable rea- 1
son the Kansas grasshopper which 1
allowed up in serious proportions only
once, will always be more famous than
the Argentine variety, just as the
Kansas ‘cyclone* is more notorious :
than the more numerous ones of Illi
nois.”
Observations.
Two beggars—a blind man and a (
deaf man—met on a street corner af
ter business hours.
“What is tlie world coming to?” |
sighed tin l blind man. “The young
folks of today have gone mad. See
the clothes the girls wear!”
“Yes,” replied the deaf man. “And
it s all due to this terrible jazz one
hea rs cveryw’i tere.”

WASHINGTON— The Coolldges.

corrigible Jay-walkers, con
sidering all the stories the papers
tell of their narrow escapes from
being hit by automobiles. ■
Twice, just before he left Wash
ington far Swampscott, the presl

to dodge speeding cars.
I Mrs. Coolidge barely missed be
ing run„ down ’by one during the
farnily-b stay at the summer capi
tal. and since their return here
one of tha. presidential calls was
so close that the driver responsible
for It actually was arrested, which
means there was no joke or ex
aggeration about it—the authori
, tics were genuinely and thorough
ly scared, ar.d maybe the presi
dent was, too.

THE truth is the Ccoliuges are
no more- reckless than any
other pedestrians, but where
i as the ordinary individual is en
dangered right along without at
tracting the least attention, when
it happens to the president or his
wife it creates a sensation.

Tom Bust Thinks lilan Cannot Be
Taken Seriously as a Colit leal Or

Raleigh, Sept. 27.—Friday’s fizzle
' t l* p "Hpty cross" moves all and stm-
I dry statesmen, scribes and clerics
hereabouts who have found it neces
sary, at times to take note of the
Ktt Klux Klatt. to observe that thej
invisible empire is not to be -seen!
because it ,\ s so shrewd anil well or-1
gamzed, but because there is nothing
to .SOP.
It is possible that the Daily News
count of tii,, parade was not Correct.
Watchers at other points on “the line
of inarch say that down the princi
pal street, there was an off-shoot
which never joined the paradors
again. When they reached the capi
tal and turned to. the left there were
by exact count 20:;. All the count
ers working at ail ;)»• angles never
got beyond .700. The revised esti
mates may he right, but they are tint
impressive. This was the grand Klo
t’cro. hut it turned out to be a punk
parade by the hunk brigade.
There seems no further reason for
% ldan , seriously. It might he able
to get through, enough mummies and
hooded hoppers together to go out ami
heat some trifling black or some
blockading white. But no longer d ies
anybody need to take the plan seri
stiof nil a political crgniiizßt ton. -se
cret or' otherwise. Either the mem-,
borsnip has been busy separating it-|
self from its money to be spent on!
the bunk business to put out any j
more for parades and kloreroes. or!
else there is mighty little member- i
ship. Certainly the next legislature
thatheomes here to offer bills unhood-j
ing it or exposing its members ought
to be dignifiedly and for all time
knocked into a knocked hat.
This information has come late, hut
it is here. The klan did a fine job
of publicity while the collecting was
good and once it seemed to have about
1,1 hi’ I ’, cent of tlie Wake county bar
association in its membership. Lo
cally, it was blowing it at all the fun
erals of prominent men and cutting
didoes at the close of the commitment.
Jt was long on dead ones. Recently
that, has been eliminated V There
Imsn t been a klan genuflection at any
recent first class funeral.
The klan got a great deal of jov
from its supposed aid in heating Jn
s.ah William Bailey for governor.
I ndcuhtedly it does receive a great
deal of credit for turning many votes

them also, to make an effective
tugs.
For "cutting corners and falling
to give way to a pedestrian," even
when an arrest Is made, the aver
age bond required In Washington
Is about SSO, but when Nathan D.
Smith did it. to the jeopardy of
President Coolidge's life, he had
to put up $3500.
• • *
PROBABLY Nathan will be '
more careful after this. He j
may never cross the presiden- 1
tial trail again, but he always 1
will be afraid he will.
Some authorities say these walks 1
President Coolidge takes around !
the capital are a restraining in- 1
fluence on all the drivers In Wash- j
ington. They never know what i
minute he’ll loom up dead ahead. 1
If there s anything in this the- |
ory it might be a good plan to i
keep him traveling from city to 1
city, turning up each week or two, j
unannounced, in a new plane, to 1
put the fear of God in local driv- ]
crs’ hearts by a series of rambles i
in tiie worst of their auto-infested 1
streets.
But perhaps it- would be better i
to see how Nathan IX Smith's ex- 1
! terier.ce works on him first.
ugaint Mr. Bailey. But at that j
! there had been no big cleavage be- i
tween the grand officers and “my ter- 1
■ tors” who put up for the bunk. The ]
. klan did have some votes last year,
albeit, ir was very uncertain what 1
o do with them in the general elec-.
. lion. For a time it flirted with
. I Coolidge and glorified Gov. Brewster,
1 1 <:f -Maine, another Republican, but
. | before the campaign was over it was
, 1 courting the state democracy and get- j
. I ting all that it could from the domi- i
| nant party.
,| Hereafter auti-klansmen can lie
down every night without on particle '
.of worry over the klan. The fact 1
that it has gone into the religious
business, has snorted about teaching
the Bible in the public schools and ’
is aggressively denouncing the evolu
tionists, i« not going to ’hurt. For
a time the klau was playing smash i
with the Baptist organization; but j
one hears no more from Baptist pub- ii
lieatious about klan pastors who are J
more interested in klan hoods than in |
the robes of the rigiiteo.us. t;
The klan, of course, has kept alive |
by tin- abuse I'lut it received. Be- |
cause it made so much noise it was I
credited with nearly all the night 1
crimes committed by boobs in their jj
nighties, There will be less of that !jj
now, because the klan isn't there. It u
wasn't here the other night and it I
was called here by order of Imp I
, Wizzes, Grand Dragons, Kinds, Duds jj
and Scrubbs. It 'ms come and gone, J
lias its strength, rather its j
weakness, and left everybody with- |
out any reason for making further 1
warfare on it. It had been evident I
for one year that the klan was gone. §
Its characterless politics last year M
proved that. It was beaten every jg
time it showed itself. In the present 1
religious unhappiness with its quae- |
rcl of liberalists awf li leva lists, the jj
literalists are terribly disadvantaged jj
by '.laving the klan as their secret S
ally. H
liie lilan can be iet severely alone jjj
from lids time forward and many of M
its unwilling advertisers who felt it jj
necessary to apprise the state of its jf
hold-up on polities and religion, can n
just dismiss it from their minds. And uj
they can do that without kissing the 9
toe of the pope, joining the modern- 9
ites. or glorifying "Jews and uig- j||
gers."
The only one of the girl contestants 9
w lio did not have bobbed hair won the ■*
milkmaid championship of the Kansas
Fair in Topeka by milking ten pounds
of milk in eleven minutes and one
second.

8 THE UNIVERSAL CAR
i? What might be termed “Satisfactory Service” varies j
!jj according to different kinds of business. In most cases it '
]5 covers only a brief period of time, but in the automobile !
8 business it is different. Our sales are made to people who j
S use their cars over a period of years.
3 Such purchasers, by right, demand a service above the !
g average. To meet this extra demand, we have first secur- \
X ed men who have an interest in their work and see that
g whatever they are called on to do is done perfctly. All' i
Q our men finish each day s work with the clear conscience !
O that it could not have been done better. In this way, there !
2 are no ‘come-backs,” and our customers are assured of '
g satisfactory operation of their cars over a long period of
a time. ]
g May we extend you such a service?
