BUYING ORDERS
FLOOD MARKET
NEW YORK. June 26—Conductorable more vigor was put into the upward movement of prices in the stock market today than had been apparent in the last few weeks.
Buying orders for railroad stocks flooded the market.
Preferred rail shares moved steadily into higher price territory.
U. S. Steel forged ahead shortly before the noon hour, under heavy volume of transactions, carrying with it a number of the independent steels, Bethlehem, Crucible and Gulf States being the most prominent.
Industrial stocks were not so active but the general trend of prices was higher.
Oil stocks, the inactive, also maintained a firm position. Statistics of the industry, as published today, were favorable to the oil producers, especially those which have been carrying large inventories. The market turned sluggish shortly after the noon hour, and trading was in small volume, and confined largely to few of the market leaders.
Profit taking was also apparent and prices gradually gave ground.
Trading in new Haven between 24½ and 25¼ was extremely active in the last hour as the stock recorded the highest price since 1922. Lehigh Valley common secured a new advance of 3 points as it rose to 46½, the highest price since the rights have been marked off.
Public utility stocks came to the front under the leadership of American waterworks. Leather stocks moved forward and Wood worth scored a new high above 110.

1000 LISTEN TO K.K.K. SPEAKER LAST NIGHT
(Continued From Page One) read the Bible in the schools of 12 states but that he knows more than ten million men are determined to see that it goes back. He predicted that within five years every state would have a law that every child between 6 and 14 must attend the American public schools. He declared it to be the purpose of the Klan that to be a school teacher in the American public school system a man or woman must be a Protestant native-born American. This would put out of business all denominational schools, both Catholic and Protestant, for children between these ages, and, he said, would guarantee that every child should be taught 100 per cent American.
Naturalized Americans are not eligible for Klan membership, but can belong to the Klan auxiliary, the Royal Riders of the Red Robe. He said that there are 3000 secret organizations in the U.S. to which an American cannot belong simply because he is a native born American. There are 1200 foreign language newspapers in the U.S. and 14 million people who speak other languages than English in their daily life, he said.
He said that the Klan is of but one language, the English, and favors those coming here learning to speak English, or else going back where they came from. He said that if they could not be loyal to America then they should go where they could be loyal.
He said that the various atrocities alleged against the Klan were false, that there had never one of them been proven, but that they had been done by the enemies of the Klan in the name of the Klan. He told of a negro at Monrovia who had received a notice that unless he almost gave away property which he had purified run, Williams quitting at the third mile.

JACK PICKFORD AT THE UNITED
Jack Pickford returns to the screen at the United Theatres Friday and Saturday in "The Hill Billy," his greatest and most appealing picture of his career.
"The Hill Billy" is a tonic for the jaded motion picture appetite. It is a simple story of a simple day. Jack Pickford has come back as the ragged, yet dominant boy of the Kentucky hills, garbed in his tattered mountain boy clothing, he is the daring, adventuresome, leavable youth of the blackwoods.
There aren't any risque situations or suggestive episodes. It is a picture of the great American out doors. The characters are real and genuine. Lucille Rickson, who plays the femin lead, is the sweet and denigrate amid of the hills who brings romance into the life of a lonesome boy. Miss Ricksen, famed as Hollywood's youngest leading woman, rises to the dramatic pinnacle.
Manager Anderson of the United will stage the first Kiddo Vacation party Saturday matinee. There will be lots of fun and gifts. There will be four big prizes, two gold pocket knives for the boys and two gold pencils for the girls. And one of the features will be a watermelon eating contest for the boys. Buddy Messenger, the popular boy conedian, will be on the program in his latest comedy, "Please, Teacher."

He said that the various atrocities alleged against the Klan were false, that there had never one of them been proven, but that they had been done by the enemies of the Klan in the name of the Klan. He told of a negro at Monrovia who had received a notice that unless he almost gave away property which he had purchased in a restricted district that he would be "Ku Kluxed." He said the negro had slept but little for two weeks, and was as nearly white as any negro he ever saw. He called on him and assured him that the Klan had made no such threat, and upon investigation found that the threat had been made by the man who sold the negro the property. He said the man was not a member of the K. K. K and never would be. The Klan doesn't want any such man in its membership, he said. When simmered down, he said, that is the way all the alleged "Klan atrocities" turn out.
A duet was sung and the meeting was closed with prayer. There were several Klansmen in robes present, but in taking a collection these were unmasked, and could easily be recognized by any who met them. The speech was made large truck on which was cross, electrically lighted. Speaker was repeatedly applauded, sometimes vociferously.
Dr. Packard's speaking itinerary for the next two weeks was announced as follows: tonight at Santa Ana; tomorrow night at the Fullerton city park; Saturday night at La Habra; and Sunday night, and every night thereafter for the next two weeks, except next Tuesday night, at the local Christian tabernacle.

SARGUM PROUTINGS
J. Verne, greatest fiction writer of his day and his day was not so many moons back, once wrote a book in which the leading character circled this old earth in 80 days. The people thought the book great reading and wondered how a man could make up such impossible stories. Monday Lieutenant Maughan flew from New York to San Francisco in 21 hours and 48 minutes, which included 3 hours and 27 minutes in stops. The distance covered was 2670 miles.
Verne in his most radical twist of mind did not conceive of such speed. The wild dream of Rider Haggard in which a New Yorker could step into a car that traveled in a vacuum tube, eat his breakfast in Liverpool and be back to his New York office in time to begin the day's work, may yet come true.
This is the day of miracles. People have ceased to doubt anything. A short century ago it would have taken the best riders and hardest frontiersmen months to accomplish what Maughan did in less than 22 hours. What will the people be doing in another 100 years?
Tex Rickard definitely announced that the Firpo-Wills match was on for the latter part of August. The men will fight on a percentage basis. Tex is playing safe. The Madden-Wills bout cut the latter's drawing ability greatly; just how much is hard to estimate. Firpo is like Bool Montana. He draws many who go just to see him in action no matter if he were fighting the most unheard of novice.
Not many give Willis the least chance with Firpo. The black man has gone back. It is doubtful if he ever had the heart to best a man with Firpo's hitting ability. Willis had the ability at one time.
TWO ENGLISHMEN LEAD FIRST DAY
HOY LAKE, England, June 26. Two English golfers were in first and second place when the first day's play of 36 holes for the British open title was completed this afternoon.
Two Americans—Walter Hagen and MacDonald Smith—were tied for third place.
The leader at the end of the first days play was E. R. Whitcombe, who finished with a total of 147 with cards of 77 and 70.
J. II. Taylor was second with a total of 149, his card being 75 and 74 for the first and second rounds.
Hagen and Smith exchanged. Hagen's cards were 77 and 73 and Smith's 76 and 74.
Jim Barnes, American pro, had a total of 155 while Arthur Havers of England, present champion, was one strook behind Barnes.
Barazen was apparently out of it, having a total of 158, altho he played more brilliantly on his second round than he had in the opener.
Hagen played perfect golf in the afternoon round except on the ninth hole when he drove in the rough.
Other scores were:
Arthur Havers 79-77—156;
Arnold Massy 78-81—159; Jam-s Braid $0-80—160; G. Gadd 79-85—164; Abe Mitchell $1-77—158.

Ben Sconce and Sam King have just returned from a fishing trip up in Inyo-co. They report the fishing in that county is about as well crowded as elsewhere. They reported that they caught some nice fish but that the streams were pretty well fished out. They also reported the desert road in bad shape. They came back through the Yosemite.
It was Disabled Veterans' Day at Ascot Sunday and Leon Duray ran away with almost all the honors. Duray was deprived of his supercharger device which enabled him to defeat DePalma two weeks ago, and while the Frenchman seemed to miss his pet device, he was able to best all comers. DePalma was not in the competition on account of an ailing motor.
Jack Dempsey was the big noise. Jack is wearing knock-em-dead rags these days. If he keeps going in the movies he will be in a class with Joe Benjamin and some of the other movie sheiks. Jack wielded the starting flag. The veterans presented him with a loving cup.
This Duray is the sensation of the Ascot course. He has won under the handicap of bucking the entire field. When he defeated DePalma he was not given a clear track by any of the other drivers while DePalma was given every courtesy by the other drivers. In Sunday's Dempsey event, Jack Petticord was suspended for his unfair driving against the Franch ace. His daring and skill is winning for him a great following of the racing fans.

HID MABEE HAS WRESTLING BLUES
By Sargum Sprout
Roy Mabee is the same old kid old. He is taking the coming wrestling match with Mortensen seriously as if his life depended on the outcome. He has cut looking and the way he is limber-up his aged pins in the daily mind about the farm would lead to suspect him of contemplating a marathon race rather than wrestling match. Roy feels at and since he is back to mining he is like a kid with a corrected, forgotten toy. As he tips about you can almost hear him sing:
Oh, this selling flivvers day by day all very well for a month or so, it as a stendy diet, I say, is the bunk, I surely know."
I have got the wrestling blues, grab and hold and to tare and bruise, twist and turn and dare and take,
hold 'em tight, ones and twos, I have got the wrestling blues."
It was big Al Sparks I threw, when I most broke Vic Baden in two,
the Jap, Mondt and Padillo I threw
at throw Ad Santel I could not do."
Phil Salvadore was bested by Frankle Farren at Phil's own time, boxing, at the Vernon arena, yesterday evening. Phil has won his matches on his clever boxing but his Farren lad was one better ill did not have a look in. At that ill did not appear to be up to his usual good form.
Paul Berlenbach received a cutter his eye in a bout last Friday night and the boxing commission will not allow him to go on withung Stribling tonight at theIk Show. Jimmy Slattery, who adds a defeat over Young Strikers new stroke his learned from professional A. D. Walker.

UNOCO
This course is in better shape now than for some time past. The grass on the fairwrys having died out eliminating much lost ball trouble.
We took on our old enemy Jimmy Heffron, who first put the golf bug in our ear, for his third consecutive defeat this week and incidentally made our first birdie with a 50 foot putt. Jimmy blames his defeat to practicing a new stroke he learned from professional A. D. Walker.
FAIRWAY
The Fairway course is almost out of commission at present owing to all of the greens having been fenced off from play while new grass is coming thru. The tees also have been undergoing repairs and within a short time row this course should be in excellent condition for play.
The cayons have been cleared of underbrush and the clubhouse is undergoing repairs—a regular old fashioned house cleaning.

N. Y. Clergyman With His Reformed Perpetual Calendar That Divides Year Into 13 Even Years
The Rev. Herbert Percy Hames declares that Caesar's scheme of dividing 365 days into twelve months is out of date. Dr. Hames' calendar in which the year is divided into 13 months of 28 days each, can become a family heirloom, he says, and still be up to date. With his calender, the clergyman explains all objections to the existing calendars are eliminated, as all holidays except Christmas and New Years will, for the most part, be on Mondays, and anniversaries will always fall on the same day of the week.
