BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON, Dec. I.—When
Congress passed the law putting
regulation of meat nackers and
stockyards in the hands of the De
partment of Agriculture, back in
1921, it set in motion the wheels
that put Howard M Gore, farmer
and stockman of Clarksburg, W.
Va., into President Coolidge’s cabi
net.
For Gore came to IWashingt*in
as a member of the r acker and
stockyard administration
In that job hi demonstrated
such thoroughgoing familiarity
■with farm problems and such
ability as an administrator and
Arbitrator that when C. W. Pugs
ley resigned as assistant secretaary
in September, 1923. President.
Coolidge stepped him up into that
post as assistant to Secretary
Wallace.
His record as assistant secretary
was such that Coo’idge now names
him as head of the department,
following Wallace’s death,
» * *
It is not unlikely that Gore would
have served in the Coolidge cabinet
through the next four years, had
he not been elected to the governor
ship of West Virginia, beginning
next March. His term in the cabi
net is, because of this, limited to a
little over three months.
Like Coolidge when be came to
the presidency, Gore is not an
“organization" man. When he an
nounced his candidacy for the gov
ernorship he wasn't any more on
the inside with the G. O, P. powers
in his state than Coolidge was na
tionally when President Har ling's
Country sausage and fried chicken
served* to order at Tea Room.

death stepped him into the White
House. Perhaps that fact hai cre
ated a bond between them.
But just as Coolidge, as presi
dent, was able to take over control
of the G. O. P. machinery, nVion-
I ally, and revamp it to suit his <>w;i
ideas, io may Gore, as governor
overhaul the Republican machine
in his home state.
As an outsider ; n his race for
the Republican m,initiation for
governor, Gore wk« nicknamed
“The Lone Wolf.” Old-timers
smiled a bit at his presumption in
bucking the organization choice
for the office.
But as a farmer in West Vir
ginia, though Gore never had bid
any political fences, he had built
. a hog-tight corral into which to
round up a personal foilowing of
West Virginia farm folks, old and
■ young.
He had for years been a booster
for and worker in the boys’ and
girls’ farm clubs.
He was an expert judge of live
stock, and at county and state
fairs had handed out red, white
and blue ribbons to hundreds of
proud exhibitors.
He had stimulated state pride in
agricultural achievement by hit-
ting the top of the 'ew York
majfKet each year with bis fatted
1 lambs, and by turning ou t annual
ly 1200 hea’d or so of fat Hereford
steers for the English n arket.
When the’ votes were counted it
was found Gore’s fa-mer frends
had put “The Lone Wolf” over the
top for the nomination, and on
Nov. 4 they turned the trick again
and elected him.
Whereupon his nickname was
changed overnight to “The Miracle
Man.”
» » ♦
A stocky, round-header, smooth
faced man of 46, Gore looks just the
sort of “common-sense” individual
Coolidge would prefer at the head
of the Department of Agriculture.
That he can apply common
sense, his friends say, was demon
strated some years age when he
was preparing to buy several hun
dred additional head of steers for
fattening.
His mother, with whom he lives
in Clarksburg, his wife being dead,
remarked at the increasing num
bers of jobless men applting nt the
kitchen door for a “handout’.’
Gore put two and two together
and got right answer

A SOLOMON COMES TO
JUDGMENT IN SICILY
LONDON, Dec. I.—A Solomon
came to judgment recently in the
little town of Girgenti, way down
in Sicily.
It seems it was the birthplace of
the great dramatist Pirandello. The
town fathers wanted to honor their
celebrated man by naming the prin
cipal street after him.
Unfortunately the street had for
centuries been named after Saint
Peter. Hundreds of religious folk
knew of and revered Saint Peter
HADBADLEG
“I was afflicted with a very se
vere sore on my leg for years. I
am a teamster. I tried all medicines
and salves, but without success. I
tried doctors, but they failed to
cure me. I couldn’t sleep for many
nights from, pain. Doctors said I
could not live for more than two
years. Finally Peterson’s Ointment
was recommended to me and by its
use the sore was entirely healed.”

‘Jack’ Reeves Writes }
Mother from Eu
- .. n an
Letters received from Walter
Reeves by his mother show that
Walter—or “Jack,” as he is known
to his many friends—is getting an
eyeful of many of the historic and
important places in the world as a
marine aboard the dstroyer Pitts
burgh.
Walter enlisted in the Marine
corps less than a year ago and
since that time he has visited many
countries of the Near East. In a
letter to his mother written from
Grovosco, Jugo Slavia, Nov. 4th,
the young soldier states that he is
enjoying the seaman’s life and that
he was greatly impressed with the
Slavs progress since the termina
tion of lhe war which made them
an independent state.
Walter states that the quaint,
est gnd most interesting place he
has vitised was Bizerta, Africa,
where for one dollar, which is
equivalent to 18 farthings, he had
the most wonderful time of his life
and that for the past four months
he has seen things that he never
dreamed of seeing in a life time.
“Jack” graduated from the lo
cal high school in 1923 and his
many friends will be interested in
knowing us his whereabouts.
who never heard of Pirandello, their
fellow townsman.
Therefore they strenuously ob
jeted to the change. A committee of
the town council was equally di
vided on the momentous subject.
Finally they elected a chairman to
decide things. And this wise man
decreed that half the street should
keep its old name and the other
half should get the new title. So
everybody was happy.
