World Conferences
and World Peace

1t is difficult to believe that only a
few months ago we regarded the
value of international conferences as
debatable even upon few great specl-
fic questions, and saw not at all the
thousand and one minor problems,
prejudices, misconceptions and inJus-
tices which could be eliminated by the
mere meeting about common table
for common purpose, OF the dlstln-
guished representatives of the confer
ring nations.
1t is quite generally agreed that
even if today the conference should
break up in hopeless disagreement,
over the carrying out of it's conclu-
sions up to this date, that the confer
ence, far from having been in vain,
would have immeasurably advanced
the cause of world peace, because each
nation would carry away from the
conference the conviction that ideals
can be translated into practical oper-
alton, and would carry away also a
new understanding of world problems
TODAY which would enable and inspire
each nation, in time, to make vital
contributions to world peace.
But there is no sign of serious dis
agreement. All the countries agree
that the Hughes program of naval
disarmament will prevail in all its es-
sentials. The attitude of France ano
her safety are not considered incom-
patible with an appreciable degree OF
land disarmament, now, and gradual
and continuing reduction as various
problems of international concern are
adjusted.
And now, when the great benefits
of the present Confer alce are appar-
ent to us, and the success of the
American program for limitation OF
naval armament, as we'll as the solu-
ton of many of the Pacific problems
seems assured, mere comes al evc-
greater promise of future world de-
velopment for peace and opportunity
through a permanent association OF
nations, meeting annually to discuss
problems of international concern
bound by their word to fulfil agree
ments, acting in mutual faith and un'
derstanding. This proposal made by
President Harding last fall, and agair
informally suggested last week meets
with the hearty approval Of all the
delegates to the conference. Last
summer it sounded like an unattain
able Utopia. Now with the experience
of the past few weeks, it presents
wonderful possibility for the future
of international relations.
Today, as the most significant re
suit of the conference for the limita
ton of arms, we have practical pro
posal for all nations to join in
world association through which thei
difficulties and interests may be set
tied without resort to war.

FARM BUREAU HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING
Bureau Cooperation to be
Discussed

Howard W. Selby, Manager of the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange,
will be the principal speaker at the
annual meeting of the New Castle
Farm Bureau to be held Thursday,
December 8, in the Red Mems Hall at
| Newport.
Mr.. Selby, who was appointed Man.
ager of the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange at it's inception four years
ago, has had a wide experience in
the cooperative movement and he
will review it's success and accom-
plishments in general way.
Mr.. Selby recently returned from
Europe where he spent two months in
making study of the principal CO.
operative movements of England,
Scotland, Germany, France, Italy
and Denmark.
In his address Mr.. Selby will point
out the main features of the method
of cooperation which have made
European cooperative organizations
so successful. In an interesting
article printed in a recent issue of
the Eastern States Magazine, Mr..
Selby gives brief summary of con-
ditions among European cooperative
organizations as follows:
In Denmark you will find eighty
per cent of the farmers active in CO.
operative organizations, while many
of the persons in the city make their
purchases through the Cooperative
Wholesale Society of Denmark,
selling organization.
In Switzerland there are over 400
local purchasing societies affiliated
with the union of Swiss distributing
societies, and they have an annual
business exceeding 100,000,000
francs, or at present rate Of ex-
change, S16,OOO,OOO. Syndicates are
controlled by the distributing So
cieties which import eggs, export
cheese, manufacture boots and shoes,
and control some banking and insur-
ance business. Agricultural cooper
alton has been responsible for a big
, improvement in the grade of dairy
: products and herds.
: In Italy there are three national
organizations which handle the whole
sale business for the local agricul-
! tural purchasing organizations of
Italy. These are divided according to
d political parties, the one at 'Piacanza
, directed by Liberals, being the most
successful. The business in this or
ganization is largely in farm sup.
= plies, including fertilizers, imple,
: ments, seeds and some feeding stuffs
1t is interesting to note that all OF
these organizations, both purchasing
, and marketing had very small be-
ginning and today show as a recorC
> Of achievement a substantial working
d capital as we'll as new commodiouE
: office buildings. Their progress ha!
: been in the form of a gradual evolu
/ ton. The basis of practically all o.
: these organizations is in the peasan
:, or poorer element. A respect fo1
e meagre savings is an item which ha
e been a great aid in the promotion o
r the European cooperative associa
l. tions. The main point in which the!
e differ from the American organiza
ton is in the fact that their member
are under contract, to purchase thei
requirements from the organization
and that they have some capital in
d vested The theory which they folloI
is to place their capital and thei

 When MT. Hughes has finished the job of introducing the big and little diplomats to the President, he will quit suddenly, and, making his way out of the White House, will jump

 Everybody who is to be received by Mir. and Mrs. Harding must enter the Blue Room from the west side-i. e., from the Red Parlor. The first per son to pass through the door will be Vice-President Coolidge, who will be followed by the members of the Cabi- net in the order of their right of sue cession to the Presidency. Secretary of State Hughes first and Secretary of Labor Davis last.
 Immediately thereupon MT. Hughes will take his place at the left of the President, in order to introduce the members of the Diplomatic Corps, who by this time are assembled and waiting in the Red. Parlor. The French Ambassador, M. Jusserand, is Dean of the Corps, because he has been longest in Washington, and as such he will come first. He will be followed by Senor Don Juan Riano y Gayangos. the Ambassador of Spain. Then will come the Russian Ambassa- dor, MT.

 welterweight champ; Bennie Leonard,
 lightweight title holder. and Johnny
 Buff, double champion in the ban
 tam and fly weight classes.
 Buff is one of the most remarkable
 of our champions of 1921. He won
 both the fly weight and the bantam weight crowns in 1921 at the age of 33 years. He had been boxing for IA years and no one had paid much at tention to him when all at once he whips Frankie Mason and is thereby made king of the fly weights. Not satisfied he gives away some weight and tackles Pete Herman, bantam weight king, and wins that title. too. Jack Britton is another unusual champion. He is 36 years old and has been boxing 19 years. but still he is the boss of the welterweights. Some of the fans thought Johnny Xiii bane, featherweight champion, was
 getting too old to work, but he whipped Danny Frush so decisively that he siIenced all critics. Ki1bane i is B and has held the title nearly 10 years. It will be 10 years February | 22 next.

 was the victory of Marion Rollins, an 1 Eastern girl, in the woman's golf championships. The golf followers had begun to think AleXa Stirling, of 1 Atlanta, was invincible.

A score of policemen will keep them in line, steering them into the Red Parlor and thence into the Blue Room. They will be under constant watch by at least a dozen secret serv- ice men, ready to grab any person whose actions seem in the slightest degree suspicious.
 Time is getting short. They will be hurried past the President so quickly that a good many will get by him be fore they are aware of the fact. Of each person his or her name will be asked by Colonel Sherrill, and by alinl communicated to MT. Harding. Some will want to pause and say a word to the President, incidentally to the handshake; but the latter is given in such way as to urge the caller along while the grasp is transferred to the next individual in line. Fifty shakes a minute is about the limit of possi- bi1ity.
 Such a rate, if kept up, would mean 5000 shakes n hour: but even so.. all the people could not be greeted in the, time available At ? o'clock the gates ef the White House will be closed, and a "queue'' still extending for seV- era1 blocks outside will be left hope less of admission.

 Football Undecided
 In football we had some wonderful teams. There is no one outstanding in any section unless it is the Univer sity of California in it's own Pacific Coast section. The Middle West had Iowa, Nebraska and Notre Dame, all powerful elevens. In the East, Cor nell, Penn State, W. and J. and La fayette finished the season undefeated. Centre College, of Kentucky, was one of the greatest elevens of the year, beating Harvard and drawing the cal cium rays toward Danville. The last downfall of a king came near the end of the year when young Jake Schaefer beat Willie Hoppe out of his worlds 1S.2 balkline billiard title. The new king of the worries is the son of old Jake, a champion be- fore Hoppe.

runs during the major league season a feat that no one ever approached in all the years that baseball has hourished. Babe Ruth busted" up many a ball game and by his efforts brought a pennant home to the New York Yankees, the first they ever won. But the Babe, handicapped by injuries and sickness. could not win the worlds series for the Yankees. Nevertheless, he was so great that his failure there didn't detract from the fan worship. He's the King of Swat and will continue so until he grows too old to longer hit them over the fence. It is very doubtful if any player will, within the next few years, equal the feats of Ruth
 Jack Dempsey
 And so Babe Ruth heads the lists of champions by popular acclaim and perhaps next in rank to him is Jack Dempsey. the greatest fighter in the world. There always has been more or less dispute as to whether so-and- so was rightfully the champion of the world. But if there Is any to dispute Dempsey's claim he need only come forth and be satisfied. Georges Car pentier came over from France. He was the champion fighter of Europe He was the best Europe had produced in many years. But he was no match for the American.
 There is no one today who stands much of a show with the rings king. If Dempsey loses his crown soon it will be because he beats himself. He can do it by not taking the right care

 International Games
 The year of 1921 has been one also of international conquest The Demp- sey-Carpentier fight was the high light of international sports. It at tracted 92,O00 persons into one arena, the greatest crowd that ever paid to see an athletic event.
 But America triunphed in other sports. too. For instance, Jock Hutchi- son went across the Atlantic and trimmed the Britishers in their golf tournament. But Jock couldn't win the national open at home. Jim Barnes not only beat Jock, but he beat Willie Hunter and Abe Mitchell. the best men Great Britain could send to these shores.
 To make it a cleanup in golf Jess Guilford won the amateur title in England competing against such play CTS as Willie Hunter and Tommy Ar mour, of Scotland.

 Jimmy Murphy, an American driver, won the Grand Prix in France against a field of the best auto racers in Europe.
 Miss America II, speed boat. won international honors over the Maple Leaf VII at Detroit.
 Pete Herman. an American bantam weight boxer, went to England and knocked out Jimmy Wilde, the great est little boxer Europe ever turned out.
 So all in all it has been a very sue cessful year from the standpoint of international sports.
 Home Champions
 In baseball the East finished ahead of the West, the Giants and Yankees nosing out the Pirates and the Indians in the home stretch.
 The West is the home of Jack Dempsey, the greatest of fighters. It also is the home of Tommy Gibbons the best light heavyweight we have. and Johnny Kilbane, the world s champion featherweight. But the East is the home of Johnny Wilson

The Year Just Closed Has Been the Greatest of All Sport Years - Many Records Broken.
Broken.
By FRED TURBYVILLE.

TN all fields of sport 1921 was just
 about the best year we have ever
 had It has been marked with sen 0 sations, with enormous crowds and new records. There's a champion in every line of sport excepting football. The football fans are still talIl1n 2 about that. It was the greatest foot ball season ever and there were more good tfootban teams this fall than ever before in the history of the grid iron.
 Sports are growing year by year and there doesn't appear to be any limit where records will stand or where the size of crowds will stand. The things that can't be done this year are done within the next twelve months. The human race may be de- generating as some pessimists de- clare, but they can't dig into the sport archives and find proof for their as sertions.
 The National Game
 The year of 1921 saw baseball, the national game, at it's greatest. The public was so ardent in it's love for the national game that the biggest ball parks could not hold the crowds that gathered on certain days through out two interesting major league races. The great Polo grounds was packed time and again with either the admirers of the Giants or the ad- mirerS of the Yankees.
 There are two cham pions who stand out above all the rest-Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth. The latter probably has done more to boost the line of sport he represents than any other single performer in any athletic line. It was Babe Ruth who was responsi- ble for the greater interest in base ball. He is today the best known man of the sporting page.
 Babe Ruth
 Babe Ruth is a champion by popu- lar acclaim. He knocked 59 home

 The Receiving Party Forms
 At exactly five minutes before Il A. M. two buglers, stationed on the main floor of the White House, will sound the notes of the ''President's s call" and thereupon MT. and Mrs. Harding will come downstairs to- gether, while the Marine Band, in the great vestibule, plays Hail to the Chief" Entering the Blue Room, they will find assembled there the wives of the members of the Cabinet and the Vice-President's wife. Mrs. Calvin Coolidge.

 No President up to Mir Wilson's time thought of emitting this tradi- tional event, but he thought best to discontinue it. This was displeaSing to Washington. True, the New Years reception is of no importance what ever from a fashionable standpoint, but it offers the only available oppor- tunity for the public at large to meet and shake hands with the President. Other White House receptions-to the Diplomatic Corps. to the Congress, etc.-are relatively exclusive, admis- sion being only by card
 There will be a big jam on January 9 At least 10000 people will be on hand for the occasion, and of these a large fraction will inevitably miss the main object in view, for the simple reason that Mr- Harding cannot pos sibIy shake more than fifty hands a minute and the time allotted for the performance will not much exceed an hour.
