This became known when negotiations between the two coun tries on the subject of Labrador were reopened here recently. Repre sentatives of Canada and Newfound land are busily engaged searching the archives and studying old maps preparing to argue the ownership of Labrador before the Privy Coun cil' in London sometime this year. The latest proposal, it became known, is that Canada assume the Newfoundland national debt of $50,000,000, and take title to Lab rador. This suggestion, it was un derstood, was pnt forward by Sir Patrick Magrath, representing the j Old Colony. Canadian representa- j tives, while erpressing willingness to pay cash for the territory, set 1U value at $10,000,000. Should an agreement be reached the pending j litigation before the Privy Council ^ the final court of appeals in the British Empire, wonld be dropped. For 15 years negotiations have been going on between the Cana dian and Newfoundland govern ments te settle the Labrador boun dary difficulty. Newfoundland, main mining jurisdiction oyer the Lab- j rador coast, has contended that its zone of influence runs well into the ^interior, taking up a large urea that Quebec. The Canadian authorities concede to Newfoundland only a al, which is necessary to the fisher narrow strip of the Labrador littor ies industry of the island colony. For more than a century the right ol Newfoundland tdo this shore line has been conceded.

The New York representative, who was speaking in reply to the charges of liquor drinking by high officials recently made on the floor of the house by Representative Up shaw, Democrat, Georgia, adds that “fahaticism and regulation gone mad” already had resulted in dis orders in some sections of the coun try, and had demonstrated that, there are localities where the 18th amendment “cannot be enforced.” “Who shall be permitted to judge immorality for me?” he asked. “We might just as will come along with a constitutional amendment What we shall eat and how long we shall sleep, Or we might by that means regulate the length of a skirt and the degree to which the lady may expose her shoulder to a friend.” “Every attempt to enforce moral ity is attended by disorder, and there are localities in this country where the 18 amendment cannot be enforced”. A message received this morning from Mr. W. E. Flynn said his fath W. D. Flynn died this morning at six o’clock. Mr. Flinn was well known fn the community having been a merchant in Spray for some years. He moved to Winston-Salem about four years ago. EVERY MEMBER AN ACTIVE ROTARY MEMBER The Rotary Club which has been organized in this city has one rule which, it states emphatically, must not be violated. This is the rule in regard to attendance. Practically ev ery club has a clause in its Constitu tion whereby a member is automati cally dropped from membership if he misses three meetings in success ion. To this rule is attributed one of the reasons for the remarkable efficiency of Rotary. Acareful re cord of each member’s attendance is kept by the secretary and noth ing short of sickness or death can excuse a member. Absence from the city is no excuse, for there is a rule whereby a member may attend the meeting of a Rotary Club in any city and receive credit for attend ance just as if he had been present at the meeting of his own club. Rotary Clubs thus hold an envi able. record for high percentages of attendance at meetings. Clubs with as many as two and three hundred members have as high as eighty per cent of their members present meet ings after meeting. In some of the twenty-four Rotary districts having jurisdiction over as many as forty and fifty clubs weekly percentages of attendance of from seventy to eighty per cent is maintained for the entire districts. New records foi high attendance percentages are continually being made and as quick ly being broken by some club some where. The latest achievment has been by a club on the Pacific Coast with sixty members which has made the remarkable and heretofore un heard of record of one hundred per cent attendance, or every member present, not only at one meeting— which would be an unusual record in itself—but a one hundred per cent attendance seven consecutive meet ings.

MANY REAL~DIRT FARMERS TAKE COURSE AT COLLEGE RALEIGH, Jan. 17—With thirty five North Carolina counties and one other outside state represented in the registration of students, the win ter course in agriculture at the Sta te College is now underway. In tensive and thoroughly practical in struction in the growing of cotton, tobacco and small grains, in fruit and vegetables culture, in farm dairying, poultry raising, and cotton grading will continue through Jan uary 19. In this place dedicated as it ,'s almost exclusively to youth, it is somewhat out of the ordinary to see these sturdy gray-haired, keen eyed men from all sections of the State going about the campus with text books under their arms. The phen omenon is unusual, even for the win ter, but, according to Dean C. B. Wiliams, the work this year seems to large extent, the identical peo ple it was hoped to reach. By far the greater number reg istered are dirt farmers whose lives have been spent in close contact with the soil. They are men who have already achieved a marked suc cess in their farming operations, but who realize, neverthless, that to keep abreast of the times, with new ideas and new methods constantly coming into general use, it is neces sary for them to take advantage of the splendid opportunity offered by the College to acquire information ^ that should prove not only an in spiration but of lasting practical valtae. ’ ■ ‘ ESKIMOS ARE A HAPPY PEOPLl (By Associated Press 1 BUFFALO, Jan. 17.—Certain tribes of Eskimos do not eat blub- : ber and live in ice igloos, nor are they short and squat according to Dr. Frank H. Spence, head of the missionary hospital at Point Bar row, Dr and Mrs. Spence are now here on a visit from Point Barrow, where they opened the farthest north institution of its kind. “The pictures in the school books are wrong,” Dr. Spence says. The Eskimos of Point Barrow are as large as the average American. They do not eat blubber, but burn it foi fuel. Neither do they live in hous es made of ice if they can help it At Point Barrow their shacks are of three thicknesses of wood, with much buildings paper in between. “They are the happiest people im aginable; ^hey laugh much more than the white man. They are very polite and show many characteris tics of the oriental. Because ot their crowded living quarters many of them contract tuberculosis, bu\ we are combatting this. “I have heard from white men the story of Eskimos killing the aged and helpless, but never from a native. They are kind to their crip ples, sick and old. They use modern weapons for hunting and rarely re sort to the spear, also invariably in picture books. They make wonder ful mechanics.” INTERFERE WITH SHIPPING CAPTAIN SAYS RUM RUNNERS (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan.f 16.—Captai, Berry attached to the coast guard headquarters, announced the com mander of a vessel arriving from the West Indies, reported difficulty in crowding through the rum fleet standing off the Jersey coast, com plaining rum runners constituted a menace to navigation. Phone your Subscription to Gasatte CHARGE GREEKS ARE AS CRUEL AS ( TURKS TO ALBANIANS Albanian Minister at London ^ file protest with the Brit ish Government GREEKS TRIED TO OVERRIDE ALBANIANS (Uv Associated LONDON, Jan. 17.—While Gree ce has been raising pathetic cries to the world against the treatment of her subjects at the hands of the “ter * rible Turk*1, she has been practicing the same sort of brutality and un warranted persecution upon thou sands of Albanians within her own borders, according to Mehmed Bey Konitza, the Albanian Minister to London, who has just made a vigor ous protest to the British govern ment on this subject. This protest was made after M. Konitza had received official report from his government at Tirana stat ing that the Albanian population of Tchamouria, a province near the is land of Corfu, was in terror as a vesult of atrocities dommitted by the Greek Civil and Military auth orities. Tchamouria, although it was ceded to Greece in 1913 by the Con ference of Ambassadors in London, contains more than 100,000 Alban ians, constituting the great majority of the population, who have been attached to the soil since antiquity When Greek refugees began to pour in from Asia Minor, said M. Konitza, the great problem of find ing homes for them became a per plexing one, and the Greeks, it is alleged by the Albanians, began a campaign of prosecution in order to force the Albanian peasants to leave their ancestoral soil to make room for incoming refugees. Instance after instance of cruel treatment is recited in the official reports received by M. Konitza. One of the most striking ~was* that which took place late in September when a Greek officer, acctording to the report, summoned the inhabitants of Rakicke, in the neutral zone, and marched them off to unknown destinations, under the pretext that they were to be searched for arms. The men of this group, the report says, were beaten almost to death and the women were handcuffed and forced to walk badefooted over a specially prepared spiked path. Another instance recited was that of a large number of Albanian Mos lems and Christians, who were seiz ed under the accusation of being pro Bulgarian, placed in a stream up to their necks, forced to remain over four hours, taken out, cruelly thrash ed and then exiled. Albania, declared M. Konitza, looks to Great Britain and America to come to the aid of these unfor tunate Albanians. Since these things have happened, he said, all the Al banians in Greece are livine in con stant terror lest the same treatment be visited upon them.
