Gore May Regain His Eyesight

After more than thirty years in
darkness ex-senator Thomas P. Gore
of Oklahoma has been given hope that
his sight may be restored. If the treat
ment he is now undergoing at the
hands of Boston specialist is sue
cessful, what will the blind senator,
lawyer, schoolmaster and sociologist
be most eager to see?
First of all, his wife. He cOurted
her and wed her 81 years ago, but he
has never seen her. Then his eighteen
year-old daughter and ten-year-old son.
Then the 10000 books of his library
Washington where he served IA years
as senator; an automobile-he rides
in one daily but they were unknown
when he last saw the light of day.
III. short, Gore wants to see the
hundreds of new things that have come
into the world in the last 80 years. He
wants to see a city for the first time
and contrast it with his native farm
village, the only community he ever

Alexander, Karl and Rupprecht

Considering the times there seems
to be quite a little doing in the king
line. King Alexander of Serbia (por-
trait herewith) has changed his mind
and has been crowned at Belgrade.
Ii had been announced that he was
resolved TO abdicate. The prolonged
stay in Paris of King Alexander, after
the death of his father, King Peter,
was the subject of much comment.
He stayed there for rest after an OPP
GRAFTON and also to win Princess
Sophie, second daughter of Prince En-
manuel duke of VendOme and of Al
ercon, a member of the BOurbon-Or-
leans family. 1t appears that the
cOurtship has been broken off because
of religious differences and the re-
luctance of Princess Sophie to live In
Belgrade.

Hungary has been formally dethroned

COOPERATIVE MARKETING.

Co-operative marketing is not a
wild scheme or wild fire" as some
people call it, nor is it an ideal
theory. But it is real, sound, econo-
mical, and modern business PROPOSE
tion. The plan has been successfully
operated in the Scandinavian coun-
tries of Europe for 60 years, and in
our own country, especially Califor-
mia, for 26 years.
The movement began in California
80 years ago, but those who launched
it made the mistake of organizing
committees, and the first organiza-
tion was a failure. Then those inter-
ested organized the commodities and
placed experts at the head of the
management. Real financiers attend
ed to the enterprise. Expert statesmen
had charge of the selling. Through
this method California prospered and
has gone from almost the bottom
place of agricultural States in the
Union to fourth place from the top.
In California in 1920 four farmers
out of five made money. In
North Carolina in 1921 twenty
four out of twenty five lost money.
California through cooperative mar
keting is now selling thirty leading
products and selling them at a fair
price above cost.
Will we sell our tobacco and cotton
at or above cost? We will not unless
there is a strongly concerted effort on
the part of the farmers.

=and secured some change he had on
his person, his knife and watch.
He also stated that they stamped
upon him and injured his leg. Mr.
Lewis is able to be around today but
lis very sore. The identity of the ne
groes is unknown. He says they wore
overalls and caps. The watch taken
was an Elgin movement.

Yellowstone Park Tourist Travel.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyo..
Nov. 24.-The Department Of the
Interior, National Park Service re-
ports that 1851 people visited the
Yellowstone National Parking dur
ing the tourist season just closed.
The outstanding feature Of the
American tourist travel during the
summer was the increase Of 2, 156
automobiles carrying 1854 passen-
gers.
Fully anticipating the tremendous
growth in automobile touring the
National Park Service was prepar-
ed to direct in the interest of safe
ty, the stream Of motor cars as
they toured the park highway and
accidents were rare events.
A new approach road leading to
the South entrance through the
Scenic Wind River Valley and the
Teton Mountain Region was open
ed in August and will probably be
popular with park visitors. Also
the Hoback Canyon route leading
into the jackson Hole thence to the
South gateway was completed this
year and will be ready for travel
next season.
According to the report rail
visitors decreased 5,817 people un-
der that Of the record established
during the 1920 season. The Park
officials attribute this decrease to
higher rates and economic condi-
tions Of the country during the
summer

To Be Held in Paris January

Paris, Noy. 13.-Thc world con-
ference of the Irish race to be held
in Paris January p, Will bring to-
gether representative Of some Of
the leading families of France,
Spain, Italy, Russia, Austria, Ar
Sentine, and other South Amerl
can countries, the ancestors of
whom were Irish These families
migrated from Ireland as early as
the 18th century and became nat
ionals Of the various countries, al
though frequently retaining Their
Irish names.
All the Irish race organizations
Of the world will send delegates
and President de Valera Of the irish
Republic has promised TO attend.
An exhibition Of Irish Art will
form parts of the meeting.
It is estimated that there are 25,-
100000 persons of Irish origin scat
tered throughout the world.
The secretariat of the conference
in Paris is working hard to reach
the descendants of Irish families
Several hundred Americans whose
ancestors were Of Irish descent
will attend. While there are tc be
only 200<accredited delegates, sew
eral thousand persons are expected
in Paris for the weeks meeting.
The convention will mark the re-
sumption Of an event which until
the 18th century was an import
ant yearly feature of Irish life. The
last one was held in Ireland in the
14th century.
The cultural revival Of Irish Art
and literature is the chief purpose
Of the convention. 1t is purely ed
ucational in character and in no
way is connected with Sim Fein
movement or Irish political hopes.
The renaissance Of Gaelic culture
has, in the opinion Of those arranS-
ing the conference, received great
impetus within the last 20 years. al
though little has been heard Of its
rebirth outside Of ireland One Of
the aims Of the conference is to in
form those Of Irish origin how far
this revival has gone and to inter
est them in encouraging and fur
thering Irish art, literature and
drama throughout the world.
The Invitations to the "Aonac' :,
or convention, have been sent by
Mr.. de Valera, himself. Fourteen
Of the largest countries of the wori /
have already responded and will
be represented by nations Of Irish
ancestry.
