WILL FORCE ENACTMENT AT NEXT , SESSION; . SENATOR f, . CUMMINGS - TO INTRODUCE bill 14EXT "Month. - ' (By Col. Winfield Jones.) 'V Washington,-Nov. 30. Among all the vailed interests that wilt soon be '' ' clamoring at the doors of congress In i the December session, th farmers' voice will lie as loud as" any. Con- ' ' gress.will heed that voice because it is potent i voting strength and never tw fails to make its .wishes known, and ' usually if it considers that it has not received what it wanted from the na tional legislator it resents such treat ment at the polls at the very first op. portunity. : ' ' If -the. farmer were -organized as thoroughly, as some of the big busi r - ncss interests of the country, or the . -veterans, he -would come very near -.' dominating the republic in nil nation al legislative matters. As it is, even - with hit imperfect organisation of va .. ; rious kinds, he exerts a powerful In- fluence in national and congressional - elections.1' Henee attention is paid in house and senate to what he says on all occasions. : . For many years the farmer has been agitating the question of co operative marketing of his products, 1 and has been asking congressmen to legislate along this line. So-far noth--Jflg has been done by congress. Co operative effort, unassisted by legis. latioti, has had to work out its own v problem. Some of the private co-operative efforts have "been remarkably successful, as in the case of the Coli v r'fijtrnia fruit exchanges. Before these exchanges came into ' existence the fruit growers were always on the ragged edge of poverty and hard put , to make- both .ends' meet They were roted right and left by the railroads " ' ticular prey of tlie dishonest commis , eion merchant . Now all Us changed. The fruit farmer noionly grows his ' own crop but he picks it, packs it, 1 markets, and sells it, all by his own organization. As a result of this the fruit growers are now the most pros- 1 perous" agriculturists in the world Many other agricultural industries could learn much to their financial , profit and" Independence" by studying the California co-operative fruit ex- cha.nge. Now the farmer, having waked up ; ' to the bepefits'of cooperation by pri vate enterprise, is going a slep fur therfand will insist that congress aid such a meritorious plan. Evert now, before congress begins . for the .December session, conference isjbeing held in Washington between senators, representatives and agents of the various agricultural societies over this problem. , Bills will be introduced at the De t cember session providing for a co . operative marketing system. ' 1 Some of thrfarmers would go far ther than mere co-operatjon in selling their products. They would extend euch a system to all co-operative buy- ing also. . '. - The principal bill to be introduced in the December session will be drawn by Senator Cummins, of Icwa, who ; has always been a champion of the -egriiltural interests. . From interviews with congression al leaders here today the opinion is - gained that some kind of a co-operative marketing measure will be passed by the next congress. The farmers - wart it and they will get what they want, in any kind of reasonable legis lation, when they ask for it with suffi cient insistence.

WOULD HUSH SCANDAL Ardmore, Okla., Nov. 30; Thru the thin coat of kalsomine applied with a heavy brush by the friends of Jake Hamon, millionaire oil man and republican national committeeman of Oklahoma, who died Friday as the re sult of a gunshot wound, one fact stands out: V f He died gamely and true to the in stincts of a gentleman. ' ' Hamon was shot a week ago Sun- day With a small calibre automatic revolver. As he went to the operating table smoking a cigar he is quoted as saylig "I shot myself, but no one will; believa it," Beautiful Clara Smith, stenogra pher to the dead millionaire, is still missing. Startling rumors were cur rent in Ardmore about this mysteri ous woman, who is charged by the Carter county attorney with firing the shot that resulted in the politi cian's death. . ' : ' ' " The belief is prevalent that Frank L. Ketch, business manager of the Hamon interests, has the woman se creted in some place wherg she is safe from "county officers. On the other handi the substantial business men of the town profess to believe that Hamon died asbe result of an accident. Their theory is that the fur-coated, bediamonded favor ite of the dead oil king has been safe ly hidden by the county attorney. Hamon made no secret of his af fection for Clara Smith, ft is under stood that he faced the, necessity of parting with her after a great strug gle, in which advice of his friends t :vailed. Hamon was ambitious. His me ;ric career in Oklahoma politics led him to believe that he might as cend to national eminence. His name was once before the Chicago conven tion for the republican nomination for the presidency. SOURCE OF UNfltST Budapest, Nov. 30. The question, who will eventually occupy the throne of Hungary, has been a constant source of unrest and trouble, threat ening a sudden upheaval of the re cently attained peace and order. The pro-Hapsburgs declare that the former Emperor Charles is the real king cf Hungary and that no one else can legally aspire to the throne tfntil he abdicates. The Independent Magyars, including large masses of the rural population, declare they will never, surrender their recently won independence. In addition there is a third group of politicians which is willing to offer the throne to, any king who prom ises the restoration of Hungary's lost provinces. To achieve this, they even content to do homage to the King of the Serbs or the Rumanians. MEET: GROWERS Raleigh, Nov. 30.

Boll ing, treasurer of the United States Shipping Board and President Wil- - l son's brother-in-law, will be the chief witness before the congressional com mittee Investigating the shipping board. He will be questioned regarding the u) legation that he shared in the sum of forty thousand dollars, said to have been paid by the Downey Shipbuilding Company for contracts. Boiling read a statement, in which lie said he had contracted with T. K, Sands, former Washington banker, to build a house for Sands, and that, due to the extra cost of the building, Sands objected. to paying at the time the house was completed, but later paid him six hundred dollars balance due, and that was all the money he ever received from Sands, except the three hundred dollars borrowed mon ey which he paid back. Sands had previously testified that Boiling had shared in the money re ceived from the shipbuilding firm. E Dublin, Nov. 29. Sinn Fein Vol unteers and the British soldiers and police are each accused of masquer ading in the clothes of the other. Consequently it has become very difficult to ascertain the true facts and fix the responsibility for many of the reported outrages in Ireland. Men have presented themselves at houses in British unifonnS and thtr deeds have been attributed to gov ernment agents. But. official denial that such men were operating in the districts concerned has been issued nd the charge has been made that e mtn were masquerading in uni rms captured in one of the numer ous raids on troops or police. The same kind of story comes from the Sinn Fein side. Men claiming to be Volunteers are alleged to be gov ernment agents in disguise. This is complicated enough, but the difficulty is increased by the fact that crimi nals appear to be impartially person ating both Volunteers and soldiers and using the incidents of the -conflict as opportunity for looting. EXTEND CHEMICAL E Washington, Nov. 30, Brigadier General Fries, chief of the army che mical warfare service, said in his an nual report today : "Tho chemical .branch of the serv ice should be developed to the point 'where it would be impossible for any nation to go further.'

"When Doctors Differ?" Tho Guilford Medical Society re solution of criticism of Dr. Rankin and tho state board of health for its "treatment campaign" is pretty well shot up in the reply which the head of the state board makes. This is not the first time that the Guilford med ical aggregation has figured in oppo sition to similar matters. Some years ago it figured so figuratively, so to speak, that people around in the ro tunda of tho capitol building went ubojt talking about a doctor's trust, and tho like. The Guilford society seems to bo pretty well alone in its criticism of tho state board, in the main. But that does. not mean that something connected with the pend ing dispute will not turn up during thc coming session of the legislature.
