This was the pathetic appeal which
many an Albanian made to me re-
Gently while / was in that country.
Some of them were members of the
government.
Why can't you buy" I asked.
We can't get in touch with an

you find an American agent AMI tell
him We want to buy?"
But can you stand American
prices?' l objected.
Want American shoes.
"Oh. yes, certainly" The reply was
confident We find American goods
cheaper. For instance. shoes. Do
you see these shoes? They are three
weeks old, and they are beginning to
wear through already. American
shoes would last a year We would
Fay New York prices. plus the ship

articles are good, and are willing to
pay the price,
But can you pay" / insisted

great deal of money in Albania The
Italians left a lot of money here A
Large part of the Austrian silver cur

the peasants insist on silver because
they don't believe paper can be money.
There are millions of crowns in AL

American firm would receive it's

And what do you want to buy?''
Need Everything Useful.
What is there that we make our
selves? Nothing. We need ev.ry-
thing that is of real use. but es-
pecially clothing. household utensils
and farm machinery. We are not bar
barians. We are civilized nation in
our hearts and our minds, but We
have none of the material things of
civilization. When the Turk was here
he gave US nothing and prevented
us from getting anything for our
selves Now we have a government

morally. Everything that civilized

Mr.. O'Brfen pointed out, however.
that the Supreme Court failed to APP

MISS ELLEN MACHIN
MEETS GEN. PERSHNG
Mexico Girl Who Teaches School II
Laclede Was Present When He
Visited His Home

Miss Ellen Machin, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Machin, of West Brock
enridge street and who teaches school
in Laclede, Mo-, was in that city the
day that General John j. Pershing
came to make a short visit to his
boyhood home.
Miss Machin saws that she never
saw a people so proud of anything as
the Laclede residents are of General
PEI shing-not only the ones who are
personally acquainted with him bat
those who have moved there in tie
last few years. Old and young, she
said, seemed to feel alike and the
entire population have been strutting
about the streets with their heads
pitched high in the air. The main
theme of all conversations, especially
to strangers is about "%Jonpnie', as
he is known there.
Miss Machin lives at the home of
Z. {. Blggers in Lacledc. He is an
old schoolmate and one of the closest
boyhood friends of General Pershing.
In this way she has had the good for
tune to near, llrst handed, many Oh
the things the general did while at
tending the grade school.
Mr.. Blggs told her that onc day
when lie and JOHNNIE were working
tediously on a very difficult mathe-
matte problem, they both became very
angry at the failure of solving a sol
utlon.

Work more
Produce more
SOUe more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-.
glnes, more cars, more tracks, more ter
mlnals-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow Of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and SO increase production-
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power Of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.
