Hobart News, Nov. 29, 1923.
The recently inaugurated Junior Klan was formed to prepare adolescent boys (12 to 18 years of age) for membership in the main organization. At the same time, the Women of the Ku Klux Klan established a counterpart for teenage girls: the Tri-K Klub. (There were a couple of organizations for even younger children and infants, according to the History Channel blog.)
By the way, the fact that the News does not mention the skin color of the "Gary men" in the story means almost certainly that they were white.
