field was davocated tonight by Dr.
Julius Klein. Director of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
of the Department of Commerce,
speaking before the Expert Managers
Club here.
"With improving conditions. Dr.
Klein declared, these undesirables are
beginning to reappear in expert cen-
ters " "It is the duty of every believer
in the economic future fo this coun-
try, he said, to help stop their oper-
ations."
According to Director Klein, our ex-
ports are now moving out at the im-
pressive rate of nearly $4,000,000,000
a year—a formidable figure which is
■vital to the stability of our whole in-
dustrial and commercial edifice. It
must not be jeopardized by the deal-
ings of "irresponsible opportunists."
The tempting openings for these
"Wallingfords of Export" are multi-
plying every day. Our sales abroad
are no longer confined to a few big
self-selling staples like cotton, wheat
or copper. Nearly 49 per cent of
American exports are now made up of
manufactured or partly manufactured
articles, great quantities of them be-
ing the products of factories which
were expanded during the war and
are now realizing the value of perma-
nent overseas outlets.
The function of the Bureau of For-
eign and Domestic Commerce, Direc-
tor Klein explained, is to promote
American commerce abroad. Whether
the manufacturer or merchant re-
questing aid is large or small makes
no difference. The biggest corpora-
tions and banks in the country make
constant use of the Bureau. It is also
being called upon every day by thou-
sands of small factories and dealers
whose individual export interests
amount to less than $10,000 a year.
In the week ending September 23, the
Bureau's New York Office handled
foreign trade problems for no less
than 10,200 inquirers whose transac-
tions were of all sizes and descrip-
tions.
True Americanism reflected in in-
telligent well-planned export effort is
the only credential required of any
business established in order to take
advantage of the best Uncle Sam has
to offer in the way of assistance and
counsel in approaching the world's
markets. The Department of Com-
merce is endeavoring through this or-
ganization to "pay dividends on taxes"
but it proposes to confine those divi
<lends to bona fide American houses
whose export interests are sincere and
permanent. "The Government's latch
string, Dr. Klein declared, is to be
placed beyond the reach of those who
would use it only to gain entrance for
some temporarily embarrassed Euro-
pean competitor or for some question-
able scheme which was discouraged
by the frost of 1920 and 1921. Despite
propaganda to the contrary this coun-
try has established a splendid reputa-
tion for uniform quality and honest
dealing in foreign markets and this
reputation mus tb" maintained."
Director Klein predicted a gradual
but sound rebuilding of our export
trade and said that the Department of
Commerce is making every effort to
bring the profits from it into every
small manufacturing village in the
country. In connection with our fu-
ture welfare in the overseas markets
he asserted that "price cutting, long
terms, are not the trumps in Amerlc's
hand. In thiB opinion "well directed
sales effort, honest desire t odo busi-
ness at a moderate but adequate profit
over a long term of years, cooperation
with the foreign distributor and well
voncelved advertising, are the weapons
of America, and they can be used just
as well by the small soap manufact-
urer who knows the wants of his for-
eign customers and how to satisfy
them, as by the most gigantic corpor-
ation of which our nation boasts.

creditable display.

One moment there had been about
1,600 of them. Then a smoke screen

ceremonies were held, was packed. All
available space near and arouud the
stand was taken, including the en-

FANS ENJOYED WORM*
BASEBALL BY RADIO
The local fans are enjoying the
world series of baseball between the
Giants and Yankees by radio at the
Vencidora Billiard Hall. All the de-
tails of the games are heard from
New York as plainly as though one
heard them from the umpire.
In the first game Wednesday af-
ternoon the Yankees made their first
tally in the sixth inning and again
another in the seventh. The local
fans began to bet. Then in the last
half of the eighth inning the Giants
made three runs and the game ended
3 to2 in favor of the Giants. Then
pandimonium reigned among the local
fans.
The games begins at 3 o'clock East-
ern time in New York, which is 1
o'clock in Guthrie.

it on either side. Placed in the cor-

FOIt GOVERNOR AGAIN TALKS
IN GUTHRIE
O. E. Enfield, socialist candidate for
governor made his second address in
Guthrie last Sunday night. A big
tional anthem, and listened attentive-
ly to the message of Parker. They in-
terrupted to applaud him on several
occasions.
At the conclusion of Parker's
speech the two classes of candidates
in civilian clothes but with the lower
half of their faces masked, marched
around the arena to the front of the
grandstand, led by Klan officials and
thence to the parade, between the V-
sliaped lines of Klansmen.
There, they were ^received by a
robed figure on horseback, and the
officials in charge of the classes pre-
sented them. They were informed of
the principles of the order, and taken
far back on the parade ground for
the second step. There the presiding
officer lectured the man the impor-
tance of the oaths they were about
to take and explained the penalties
attedant upon a Klansman should he
forsake his oath.
Allegiance Sworn.
Allegiance to the principles of the
Klan without personul friendship or
prejudice, was sworn by the entire
class. The actual ceremony of initia-

entire ceremonial, though none was
allowed within hearing distance of the
