ALBANIA LACKS!
SCHOOLS, SAYS !
PROF. E. JONES
Education Needed When
Home Government is
Attempted.

Chicago Jan. 29.-In response TO q
request by the Albanian, government,
Prof. Elmer E. Jones, director of the
School Of Education Of Northwestern
university, will journey to that Ba..-
kan province and make a survey up
on which the government will then
construct an educational system. Ac-
cording to Professor Jones. at pres
ent Albania lacks schools almost en-
tirely. Under the Turks. education
was not fostcred and now that the AL
banians are about To- make an effort
al self-governmenr they desire f1rst-
class and up-to-dare educational
structure. iaE
That Professor Jones has been Sc
! lected is due to the interest shown in
Albanian problems by Bishop Blake
of the Methodist church who was a
Balkan visitor last summer The AZ
banian officials made every effort 10
impress upon the bishop the drastic
need Of help and Bishop Blake il
said to have left Atlanta thoroughly
convinced. To clinch matters. how,
ever. the government. consisting OF
the prime minister. the minister OF
foreign affairs, the m1n:ster or the in
terror and the minister of education.
joined in an appealing letter to Bishop
Blake who took up the problem with
officials Of Northwestern university.
(; Three paragraphs ul the letter,
which is somewhat lengthy. follow:
"A college in our midst. national in
spirit and character. yet representing
tho nohlcst and best Of Your own cul-
ture and civilization, would be of the
utmost value to US In training lead
crs for the nation. Provision should
also be made for similar training
for our young women. since no peo-
iple can be greater t,ian the mothers
who breed them.
THE second grea, need is for
trained and educated reacners for the
nations schools. of whom there exist
at the present time, very few. We
would therefore urgc as necessary
department of your college. a school
for training teachers. ~ - e
Our third need, quite as important
as the other two. is for an Education
tal Expert. trained not only in the.
technical side of education. but with
lorganizing and administrative ability.
to act as adviser to the Department OF
Public instruction OF Sthe Govern
ment." w.
The signatures are as follows:

fairs; Ahmet Zoguy, minister interior;

PUGH WANTS FIKE NETS
IN PASQUOTANK RIVER
But The Fisheries Commission Board
Will Have to Hear More Before
Present Rules Are Abrogated

The Fisheries Commission Board in
session at Morehead City this week
made short work of petition from
Attorney G. r. Pugh of Elizabeth City
asking for the waters of Pasquotank
River above Elizabeth City to be op-
ened to fike net fishermen. The setting
of fike nets in the river above the Nor
folk Southern r. j r. bridge has been
prohibited for several years. The Fish
cries Commission will advise Mr.. Pugh
to properly advertise his petition and
hearing may be given him and those
he represents at some future date; but
for the present the Board will take no
action.
Mr.. Pugh in his communication to the
Board did not indicate whom he is rep
resenting. It is not believed however
that the number in favor of fike net
fishing in the Pasquotank will make any
considerable showing against those who
are in favor of the present restrictions.
Fike nets soon exterminate the fish in
small streams. Pasquotank river has
become paradise for hook and line
fishermen since the fke net was pro-
hibited and the fish given a chance to

ACID IS
DENIED FARMERS
Excessive Freight Rates Makes,
Government Offer I'm
attractive

At the close of the war this Govern
ment had large quantity of picric acid
cartridges left on their hands and re-
Gently it was decided to offer these car
tridges to farmers for the purpose of
blowing up stumps. The charge for the
cartridges was. to be extremely low,
within the reach of every farmer, but,
after the offer was made, it was found
that the railroad tariff was so high on
shipments of this nature as to make
the prices of the cartridges prohibitive.
The letter below from Congressman
Ward offers a solution to this excess
sive rate, but the solution of excessive
railroad rates has never reached any
where.
The cost of preparing and shipping
by the carload is put at six cents a
pound, the freight three cents a pound
with one cent a pound for distributing
and handling, making the total cost
about ten cents a pound. The difficulty
is in arranging for carload shipments,
the department saying that this can be
done through the State Agricultural col
lege, the state Department of Agricul-
ture or some agency agreed upon, as
the shipment in individual lots would
make the cost equal to commercial ex-
Llosives. Congressman Ward is taking
the matter up with the United States
Department of Agriculture, and with
the State Department of Agriculture,
in order to see if it is not possible for
North Carolina farmers to get the
distribution.
Congressman Wards letter follows:
TO THE FARMERS OF THE FIRST
DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
Gentlemen:-
I have received answer today from
the Department of Agriculture, Bureau
of Roads. to my inquiries touching your
opportunity to get picric acid cartridges
for blowing stumps. It is too long to
ask the papers to publish, and very
hard to condense so you could under
stand it. This acid, left over from the
war, was supposed to be offered to
farmers in cartridges at an extremely
low rate, but the railroad rates are so
high. it looks to me like you are prac
tically denied the benefit of what the
government intended to be almost a
gift, and on account of these rates, I
doubt whether the State Board of Ag-
riculture will feel justified in taking
hold of the proposition at all. If it
does, it will be shipped on the order
of that Board, in carload lots, and
where you have local organizations, will
be shipped out to them for distribu-
ton among you.
You see from this just one illustra-
ton of your need of effective organ
ization, and the extent to which you
are suffering from railroad rates.
write this because of the large number
of inquiries I have received from farm
ers of the district. Write to the Ag
ricultural Department at Raleigh for
full directions or see your farm demon
stration agent.
Yours truly,
II. S. WARD.

BARGE SERVICE
Merchants Will Save About 20
Per Cent In Shipping By
Water

A regular Waterway Service
is assured the Elizabeth City
business men between Elizabeth
City, Baltimore and Philadel-
phia. This has been made pos
sib1e through the efforts of the
Chamber Of Commerce and
Franklin C. Morris, General
Manager, Inland Coastwise Wat
erway Service, of the War De-
partment.
A committee from the Chamber OF
Commerce met Mr.. Morris at his office,
Tuesday. July 18th. Mr.. Morris as
sured the committee that he was ready
to operate to the above points at once.
The first barge will leave Baltimore for
Elizabeth City Monday, July 25th.
A regular schedule of sailings is now
in the course of preparation. The rates
on this line will be approximately ~
per cent less than rail rates and VIII
also include Marine Insurance. Snip
ments of car lots will be delivered to
the consignees wharf. The power barge
has a capacity of from 25O to 800 tons
and the tow-barge 500 tons. This ser
vice will not interfere with the local
lines now operating between Elizabeth
City and Norfolk, but will probably CO.
operate with them for shipments to
that point.
When the local committee suggested
to Mr.. Morris the possibility of the
barge line being sold and removed he
assured them that if this line was sold
it would be the provision that they con-
tinue operations the same as at present.
No guarantee was asked for excepting
the cooperation of the local shippers.
Mr.. Morris expects to be in Elizabeth
City during the week of the 18th to
complete arrangements for wharfage
warehouse facilities and agent Rates
for this line are now on file in the
Chamber. of Commerce Offices and may
be seen by any one interested by max
ing application to the Secretary.
