mjOLD A SHORT SESSION I
I Brevity and good feeling pervaded I
me meeting of the county board of |
-mmissioners on' Monday. It was I
r^ssion of routine but members j
lit good on account of the condilon
0f the general fund which shows
S stronger condition that at any I
lime in .vears' due to the fact that
|f discount and penalty plan has
E,used many persons to pay their I
axes early and enabled the county I
Koard to discharge its current bills I
without borrowing from banks in I!
Itfce anticipation of taxes. The board I
received with pleasure the newsj
that arrangements had been made I!
with Green county to work War-1 j
pen's prisoners upon its roads. I (
I All members were present for the I session
which ended around 4 o'clock I
after a long dinner recess. There I,
was no public talk of politics and if I

whispers about it. It is understood, I
of course, that all of the present I
members of the county board will J ^
stand for re-election. '

APPEALS FOR AID
AND FOR WORK
Welfare Officer Says Warren
Citizens Will Care For
Unfortunate And Needy
MANJV A 1)1? i^IVrW UHD
11 x nitju 'ji T JUii iiujji
Appeals for aid and for employment
are continually being made,
but Warren county citizens will
look after the unfortunate and
needy, Miss Lucy I. Leach, county
welfare officer, said this week in
appealing for contributions for aid
in this work. There is no one else
to turn to for aid but our own people,
she said. "They have responded
generously in the past and
I believe they wili do so now when
the need is so great."
Several persons were* given aid
with funds from the charity chest
during the past month, Miss Leach
saicl. Included in the list of those
who received aid were. a white
woman and a negro man who were
sent to hospitals and a colored boy
placed in Morrison Training School.
A borne was found for a white boy
and three white children were temporarily
placed in a home until
a permanent residence can be
found for them. A white girl and
a colored woman were placed in
homes where they will be self-supporting.
Two white boys were
taken to an orthopedic clinic in
Goldsboro, and a white boy and a
colored boy are having their eyes
treated, the expense of the treatment
being paid with funds from
the charity chest.
In addition to immediate relief
given in cases found to be most
urgent, the welfare officer, working
with interesting citizens, is carrying
on a program of prevention by
supplying undernourished school
children with milk. Miss Leach, in
discussing this phase of her work,
pointed out that undernourishment
. < ? i .1
causes tuoercuiosis, ncKets ana
pellagra, as well as many other diseases.
Many cases with which she
has to deal are directly traces,ble
;0 undernourishment, she said. "It
is not only more humane, but also
cheaper in the long run to keep
children well nourished," she concluded.
Persons interested in this work
sre asked to send contributions to
Miss Carrie Helen Moore, Littleton,
charity chest treasurer. A statement
of receipts and disbursements
of the charity chest for the month
of January follows:

rY OF WARREN, N. C., F
Board Discusses
Advisability Selling
Hotel For $55,00(
Members of the board of towi
commissioners met with the hote
committee at the Hotel last Mon
day evening following a regula
session of the body and discussec
the advisability of selling or leas'
ing the town-owned and operatet
home. Representative of a chaii
system 01 notei^ nas evincea inter
est in the property for $55,000, bu
no definite steps were taken at thi
meeting and the matter remains ii
the air.
Though the town has more thai
tv;ice this sum invested, with othe:
funds invested from private sources
yet a spirit has been growing heri
to sell the property and take s
loss at once rather than to continue
losing upon its presen
operating basis. Though indirec
returns to the town have been con
siderable, the feeling persists tha
since the hotel is already establish
ed?and will remain a town assei
if sold?then it would be the par
of good business to sell.
Before adjourning to the hotel 01
Monday, the town board renewec
its $250 donation to the military
company upon request of Captair
Claude T. Bowers and offered t<
give $50 to a cemetery committee
provided the committee raised $150
The funds are to be used in improving
the road tb Fairview. After
brief discussion it was decidec
to ask for bids on repairing anc
painting, if necessary, the roof o:
the town hall. This matter wai
left in the discretion of the stree
committee.

3 More Livestock Is
> Needed On Farms i
1 i
f A growing demand for more milk, t
1 butter, beef and poultry makes it
> absolutely necessary that farmers <
: in North Carolina increase their ?
; livestock production if they con- 1
3 tinue to "live at home."
' f
"The rapidly increasing urban
population has brought to the farm|
door the opportunity of buying
those things that at one time were
. of necessity produced on the farm,"
? says A. C. Kimrey, dairy extension
t specialist at State College, "but it
; is also increasing the demandy for
all kinds of livestock products. In
, neglecting to increase his dairy
herd and poultry flocks the farmer
, is neglecting a wonderful opportunity
to not only produce a good
living but also make a good income
j. from the farm."
l In the early days of our history,
? states Mr. Kimrey, when the markets
were few and far apart it was
[. not only good business but a necessity
to produce everything needed
9 -fn *?*y? T'Viic? nafnrallTr loH fr\
l?U bllC 1U1 ill. iiiw ixuvvuuuj ivw w
j the production of crops that were *
adapted to slow marketing such as
j cotton, tobacco and grain. But *
} now, he states, it is not only nec;
ed on the farm but also to produce essary
to produce the things need,
those things most in demand at
, the nearest market which, in most
cases, is at the front door. The
j. constant demand today is for food 1
products from livestock. t
According to Mr. Kimrey, live- 1
t stock, pasture and feed crops in 3
reasonable proportions will enable (
every farmer in North Carolina m *
utilize a maximum percent of his v
acreage and will at the same time,
produce a decent living and a mar- ^
k ketable surplus of livestock pro- t
; ducts. ?
This is the only permanent solu'
tion, farm experts agree.

IN FARM PUN
[ Live-At-Home Program Receiving
Added Impetus
Through Schools
OFFER SEVERAL PRIZES
Interest grows in Warren county
in Governor Gardner's Live at Ho one
program, and it will receive added
impetus during the coming week
when attention of all school cliildren
will he directed to its various
phases. A five-day educational program
adopted for the State schools
will receive particular attention
here.
An outline of the plan was discussed
before the representatives of
all schools here last Saturday by J.
Edward Allen, superintendent of
education. This week comes the ?n
nouncement tnac in iurtnerance 01
the program there are a number of
prizes offered by the State and
State organizations. Supt. Allen is
promoting a movement to have a
list of prizes furnished locally in
order to further increase interest in
the campaign.
Reviewing the general situation
Saturday before the teachers and
enlarging upon a discussion of liie
subject which he led before the Kiwanis
club on Friday evening, Mr.
Allen said that "a program of balanced
agriculture was the need. No
one believes that we should stop
producing our money crops entirely,
but the program does specially
mean that we should look to the
production of those home and farm
supplies first and then turn to the
money crops. In such a program of
balanced farming," he continued, "I
believe every time merchant, every
banker and every business man lias
a vital interest."
Taking a basis of figures of the
year 1928, Mr. Allen brought out
the fact that Warren county in 1929,
had produced practically 400 bales
of cotton in excess of 1928 but figured
a loss of $7.50 a bale. He then
showed that we had sold more tobacco
this season than in the 192829
period and figured this at 1 cent
per pound lower. Other crops were
estimated on a parity with the 1928
production. The estimated money
return from the county's crops as
1930 is started was given conservatively
7 1-2 per cent. Total argicultural
revenue in the county in 1928
was compiled as approximately
3,008,000. Figures show that in 1929,
it was approximately $2,793,000?a
loss of $215,000 or a fraction under
7 1-2 per cent. Conditions are not
as bad with this section as some
persons would have us believe, he
said.
Governor Gardner's plan indirectly
is receiving outside endorsement
in that tobacco companies
and cotton factors are arguing for
smaller acreage, pointing out that
continued over-planting will result
in a worse plight for agriculture.
Every school in the county will follow
the suggested program in order
that the words of advice may be
carried to the homes before the
planting season is under way. Other
agencies will co-operate in this
general Live-at-Home program in
Warren county.
