COOPERATIVE MANAGER SUCCEEDS IN
 SELLING ALL MILD CURED STOCKS

mon are grasping at straws to main tain their position. Many of them have stated frankly that they can not survive much longer in the laCe of continued losses through bad debts, racketeering and cutthroat competition.
 "Our frozen stocks are practically all sold and shipped out of Alaska Prices obtained for fresh, frozen and mild cured stocks were equal to those received by any of the larger operators in Alaska, and we disDos- ed of our mild cured stock direct, without paying commissions to brok- CTS, which feature alone saved many dollars for the Association.
 "The outlook for the new season is none too favorable but I am still firm in the belief that we have made progress Inder very adverse condi- tions thus far, and 1 predict that those trollers who remember well some of che difficulties they were forced to suffer prior to the form ation of their cooperative, will do everything within their means to continue the movement"
 Fishermen's groups on the east coast, in the Great Lakes areas and at many points on the Pacific Coast are all very much unsettled today, he asserted.

Federation Year Book
 Ready For Distribution

The fitty cop.es of the new Alaska Federation year books which were ordered by the Wrangeu Womans civic Club arrived early in the week delayed because they had been car ried through to Seattle from An chorage. The Alaska Federation or- ganized in November, 1915. but only at intervals has the publication of a year bo5K been possible, the years being 1917, 1924, 1884 and this year.
 Mrs. Robert Bruce Atwood of An ehorage is president of the Fedora tion and it was through her efforts and business ability and the cooper ation Of the clubs of the Territory that the year book was published. Mrs. Atwood's administration theme is "Perpetuate Alaskas Heritage, and in this connection the book has as it's cover design Alaska's flag with Mrs. Marie Drake's beautiful verse of that name printed beneath. At least two Chambers of Commerce gave generous financial support for the year book 10 the club women of their respective communities, the Cordoya Chamber and the Wrangell Chamber.
 In addition to the information that every club woman should have concerning her federation and her fellow clubs, the book contains in- teresting facts about the up-to-date life lived in Alaskan communities that will .arnish food for thought to the women of the states who are privileged to see it and to read it's l2S pages. 1t contains about 5 pie lures of persons and scenes, also. Commenting on the contents, the Anchoraga Daily Times gives Wran- gell particular mention:
 "In addition to articles on club activities, many of the club sectionsI give detailed descriptions of the or igin of their towns and their Dres-l ent-day attractions. For example, how many have visited the famous Chief Shakes private museum inI Wrangell, the Russian cathedral at Sitka where the world renowned Madonna of Kazan stands. or seen. a basket in the making? These aLd many other equally unique Alaskan contributions to the culture of IbeI world are described in detail in this little book"
 Complimentary copies of the year. book will be sent all officers of theI General Federation, and to each state president and director of theI entire United States, giving Alaska the finest kind of publicity. Club members are buying extra copies toI send to friends, and anyone inter ested may secure a copy from the local club The Wrangell section covers ten pages and has two uts, new pictures of Wrangell and of the Wrangell Institute, both taken from the air. W-angell contributors were Mrs. Geo. H. Green, Mrs. Chas. Del Remer and Mrs M. 0. Johnson.

King logs Comedy Sisters
Help Kill Old Veil Custom
BY ANDRuE BENDING

TIBANA, Albania, Aug. 14-Three
young, unmarried princesses are
the advance guard in the movement
led by their brother, King Fog, to
emancipate Albanian women from
the veil and other Turkish GUS
toms.
just before the decree unwilling
the women was issued, the prin-
cesses, Myseyen, q; Ruhije, 26, and
Maxhide, 25, journeyed from here
to Scutari, in the north without
wells and appeared in public and
at social events in European cloth
ing.
1t was partly because of the ex-
ample thus set by the princesses
that the unwilling reform, which
has met opposition in other coun-
tries, has been in effect in Albania
for three months without incident.
Women as we'll as their menfolks
apparently are reconciled to the
change
The prinoesses are determined to
continue their work for the greater
freedom of the Albanian women.
They travel about freely They
are expert horsewomen and some
times appear in full uniform as
cavalry officers in Albania's one
crack cavalry regiment. When they
ride in uniform they receive the
military salute and return it. The
salute in Albania is made with the
right arm and hand across the
chest, the palm downward.
The princesseS do not perform
any military duties in the regiment.
The three princesses are uniform
ly pretty, and had they not been
princesses certainly would have been
married by this time. They talk
several foreign languages, having
studied in Switzerland. Occasion
ally they go to Vienna.
They have three other sisters. two
of whom are married and one of
whom is a widow.
