Hello Type Your scripts.

Thomas: ** Hey guys! How are those crops coming along? ** Farmer 1: ** Not so great. Now that the war has ended, there isn't a demand in Europe for crops and the U.S. government isn't guaranteeing a minimum price for wheat and corn. ** Thomas: ** Have you guys tried using chemical fertilizers or gasoline tractors? Those might help. ** Farmer 2**:** While those new gadgets increase our production, it's not helping. The overproduction is actually just aiding to the falling prices for crops and our debt's growing. Thomas: ** Gee, sounds rough. Well it's getting late, I'd better head to the store. END SCENE. THOMAS DRIVES TO MEETING

 * END SCENE, THOMAS DRIVES TO MEETING**

**Thomas:** Jake have you seen that movie “The Birth of a nation” ?
 * //Ku Klux Klan//**
 * Jake:** Of course I have seen it; it is a requirement in my Chapter.
 * Thomas:** Could you explain the movie to me?
 * Jake:** Sure I can, Thomas. It’s based on “The Clansmen, a book by Thomas Dixon. It was made in 1915 and has revived the Klan. The Film is about two families – the Stonemans from the north and the Cameron’s from the south. The Cameron’s find their life in ruins as the northern army brings in black militias that attempt to rape white women. It is mostly about clansmen driving Reconstructionists from the south and the clan restoring southern white’s rights.
 * Thomas:** That sounds interesting. What are the Klan’s’ main goals and views?
 * Jake**: We base ourselves on three principles. One, to protect the weak, innocent, and defenseless from the indignities, wrongs and outrages of the lawless. Two, to protect and defend the constitution of the United states, and three, to aid and assist the execution of all constitutional laws. We support prohibition and oppose bootleggers and immigration.
 * Thomas:** Oh, I see. I am thinking about joining the clan. What are the requirements?
 * Jake:** Well, you have to be white, native born, a democrat, a non- catholic Christian, and hate alcohol, bootleggers, roman Catholics, Jews, communists, immigrants, homosexuals, black Americans.
 * Thomas:** Oh, well I don’t think I could possibly hate all those things.
 * Jake:** Well then you obviously aren’t clan material.

__Prohibitions and Gangsterism__
 * Thomas**: Hi honey I’m home!
 * Kait**: Darling! I hope your day was wonderful, I was talking with my girlfriend today and as you know American women have become more involved in American society and reform and the topic of prohibition and crime came up,
 * Thomas**: Oh really? Tell me about it.
 * Kait**: Well during prohibition, the manufacture, transportation, import, export, and sale of alcoholic beverages is illegal. Prohibition was supposed to lower crime and corruption, reduce social problems and lower taxes needed to support prisons and poorhouses. Instead, alcohol became more dangerous to consume; organized crime blossomed; courts and prisons systems became overloaded; and endemic corruption of police and public officials occurred resulting in gangs. And we as American women have created this reform tohelp the corrupted people of society.
 * Thomas** : I’m very happy you got involved in that honey!
 * Kait** : Me to darling! But enough about me, how was your baseball game?
 * Thomas** : My baseball game went great, thank god for the great Bambino; otherwise I would have never picked up baseball. The sport has become very popular lately largely because of his influence! How about you, how was swimming?
 * Kait** : I swam a great 100 meter time today. Ever since women’s swimming achieved Olympic status, many women began to participate to try and compete with Ethelda Bleibtrey who currently holds the world record in the 100 yard backstroke! I love how women are becoming more acknowledged on the playing field!
 * Thomas**: Honey I'm so happy for you! Howevever, I'm going to listen to the radio now.
 * Kait**: No problem honey, enjoy yourself!

Radio
Wife: Let’s listen to a little bit of music before going to sleep. (Turns on the radio and they listen to music and dance.)

Radio: Breaking news! Tennessee biology teacher John Scope was arrested and jailed for violating the act of legislature which prohibits the theory of evolution being taught in schools. Defending Scopes will be Clarence Darrow a well acclaimed lawyer who offered to defend Scopes without a fee. The opposing side will be represented by fundamentalist William Jennings Bryan, the District Attorney and the former presidential candidate. Make sure you tune in daily to hear the updates and to find out who will win in this very controversial case.

Wife: I think John Scope is going to be convicted, he did break the law.

Man: I agree, but we will see how the case turns out.
