Production was increased, c he said, consumption was stimulat- j ed, overhead was decreased. { Since the inauguration of the plan the company has worked four! 1 shifts in its plants six hours each, to replace the former three shifts of eight hours each. At the same time it increased the ' base wage 12 1-2 per cent. c The plan was originally put into e force as an emergency measure to 0 j releive -unemployment in Battle c Creek and 25 per cent more work- s ers were added. President Brown ? said the company discovered many c unexpected advantages. i "Each shift has equal advan- t tages," he said. "This eliminated l the need for extra allowances for any shift and also eliminated the stop for meals. The efficiency is i greater than when working on an 1 eight hour basis." 1 -* In War Mi WARRENTON, COUNT LUCKY BjCR GIN BENEFICIAL A chance quest at the home of the Widow? of 1 General Nathaniel A Green, inGeorqia^ m Eli Whitney was introduced to a qroup of Wealthy planters.

Pre-School Clinics Held Over County Prospective 1931 school children of this county have for the past several days undergone physical examination in the pife-school clinics which have been held in schools over Warren. The purpose of this clinic is to iron out defects in these children before they enter school next fall. Examinations are being made by physicians of the county in connection with Mrs. Joe Jones, county nurse. The clinic began last Friday afternoon at the John Graham high school when 28 children were examined. As a class, the children examined were found to be in good health, it was said. Wednesday morning children were examined at the Littleton school, and on Wednesday afternoon the clinic was held at Norlina. Yesterday afternoon the clinic was held at Macon and this afternoon AftonElberon children will be examined. P. W. Cooper, principal of the Afton-Elberon school, writes as follows calling attention to the clinic to be held there this afternoon: "Parents who have children that will start to school next fall are urged to send or bring them to the Afton-Elberon school house for physical examination Friday afternoon, April 17, at 2:00 o'clock.

Cave Man Is Beaten Severely By Woman NEW YORK, April. 16.?The alternative of two days in jail to a fine of $10 was offerdS to Warsalomny Tischko, 30, of 172 Wythe Ave., Brooklyn, by Magistrate Charles Haubert in Bridge Plaza Court, Brooklyn, today when Warsalomny was arraigned on a charge of disorderly conGuct made by Miss Sophie Kwafmiewkzska. The young woman said Warsalomny knocked at the door of her apartment, at 173 Wythe Ave., and when she opened the door hugged and attempted to kiss her. She overpowered him and dragged him down two flights of stairs to the street, where she was teaching him a lesson in strong-arm methods when he was rescued by Patrolman John Murray. "Is that all he gets for what he did?" demanded Miss Kwafmiewkzska. "With what you gave him it seems to me that will be enough," said the Magistrate. Has Trouble Proving He Is Still Alive SAN FRANCISCO, April 16 ? Amos McDade, negro, and veteran of the World War, is having a tough time these days trying to convince- peopLe he is not dead. The people he is interested most in convincing are the staff of the local Veterans' Bureau where 'he has made application for a bonus loan. Shortly after he had made his application, he dropped around to the office to find out why the loan had not been granted. He found out that he was dead? records showed that his adjusted compensation certificate had heen sent to Washington eight months ago to be paid in full, because McDade was "deceased." The local office doesn't know whether anybody actually collected on the death of McDade. But it does know that McDade cannot get his loan?at least not until he brings in enough records with convincing proof that he's alive and entitled to be walking around. \v Garden MOST OF THE NEWS LL THE TIME ||%P* NUMBER 16 FARM LOANS MAY EXCEED $250,000 Bright Calls Attention To A Penalty for Misuse Of Funds; Big Savings LIMIT EXPIRES APRIL 1 Federal loans to Warren farmers will probably exceed $250,000, R. H. Bright, teacher of vocational agriculture in the John Graham high school, stated yesterday an article released for publication calling attention to various phases of the loans and to a penalty for misuse of funds. Mr. Bright is a member of the loan committee of Warren. Pointing out that a general policy that would suit all individuals was hard to work out, he stated that these loans had saved Warren farmers thousands of dollars and that borrowers should appreciate this fact enough to refrain from all unfairness in its use. The article in full follows: All persons desiring loans for Seed, Feed Fertilizer, Food, and plough casting must have their applications in Washington, D. C. before April 30, 1931. The checking on the money advanced so far has been limited because of the fact that all persons connected with the loans have been very busy attending other duties. I have reliable information that money advanced by the Government to farmers has been used to pay old debts and other debts. This is a violation of the contract and any person committing this misdemeanor is liable to indictment. This is not a threat, but merely a warning, to those inclined to misappropriate the money advanced to them. The contract plainly says that, any person or persons securing this money shall spend it for the reasons stated in the contract and for none other. You will have to pay this money back when it is due Or show good reason why the Seed Loan Office should give you an extension on your note. A represenative of the Govern- " ment will collect for the Seed Loan Offioe in the fall and he will expect you to give all information asked for in the application. The point to remember is this, this loan is the same as a loan secured from a local lending institution and the borrower will be expected to pay as prompt and as fully as he would in the case of a local loan. And remember you have signed a crop lien, note, and ap1 plication stating just what you wished to do with the money advanced by the Seed Loan Office. Read your applications before applying and if you can't abide by the specification don't apply, because you are sure to get into difficulties with the authorities in charge of this fund. I know very well that some applicants are dissatisfied with the manner in which their leans were handled, but please remember that when you try to serve two thousand or more persons you are oouuu lu make mistakes. I am pretty sure that the total amount advanced in this County will exceed $250,000.00 and we should appreciate this favor enough to refrain from all unfairness. This money has saved thousands of dollars for the farmer in this County and we may need it again in the future. Whether we are able to secure it or not will depend upon the collections as well as the uses it was put to. Remember you must have your applications in Washington, D. C. before April 30, 1931. This means that your application will have to be mailed from Warrenton not later than April 28, 1931. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all persons connected with this enterprise for their splendid cooperation. And I wish to say in behalf of tvio onmmlHiiw that, vup pririeavored j to serve all worthy persons as best we knew how. Animal Life On Mars Declared Plausible ST. LOUIS, April 16?Evidence of the existence of oxygen, water, vapor snow, and vegetable life on the planet Mars has been found by astronomers, and "it is plausible to believe that there is low animal life there," according to Professor Robert Grant Aitken, director of Lick Observatory. "Vegetable life has never been known to exist on the earth without traces of low animal life. It is plausible to suppose that there is low animal life on Mars," Aitken said in a lecture last night.
