Thirteen years ago only 25 per cent of the national population smoked cigarettes, and nine per cent still preferred to take snuff. Last year 50 per cent of the tobacco trade was in cigarettes, and only 5 per cent in snuff. The sale of cigars has fallen from 32 per cent to 18 per cent. The sale of all terms of tobacco is a state monopoly, as is that of salt and quinine. Iff? TRENTON, COUNTY OF WA Tade Route to the Sea : - s v . ^ sS ^ %s "* V " ^ s ' V V \<>. !w?

Big Drop In The Number Of Families J Receiving Relief. Four hundred seventy-one fami-1 lies in Warren county received aid from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in June, compared with 1543 in the peak month of March, I according to information released. yesterday from the Governor's office of relief in Raleigh. During the same period the state as a whole showed a decrease from 164,000 aided in March to 92,272 in June. Ronald B. Wilson, acting director of relief, attributed the decrease in aid needed to three causes: Improved business conditions, a logical seasonal decline, and the fact that many families are now dependent upon their sons who are enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps. Despite the improved conditions generally, there are six counties 'whose relief load during June was j higher than at any time since Federal Relief funds became available. They are Cherokee, Columbus, Dare, Franklin, Hertford and Swain. Two of these counties, Cherokee and Swain are mountainous and located in the extreme Western section of the State; two others, Dare and " " i- ? i TTV?r?Y"*lr_ Columbus, are coasnu, U11U l' i ana- | lin and Hertford are Easterly inland counties. Thus every section except the Piedmont is represented among the six counties whose rate of destitution has not decreased. CLAIMS TITLE AS WORLD'S YOUNGEST EUGENE, Oregon, July 15.?The world's youngest milkman?that's the title claimed for John Koozer, of Walterville. John learned to walk at the age of eight months. At 11 months he went in search of his mother, who was milking one of the family cows. When she first noticed him he | ; was seated on the other side of j the cow, milking. His esthusiasm, for milking grew daily until the ' family had to finally change milking hours to rid themselves of his "assistance." irrat JRREN, N. C., FRIDAY, JUI CH1LDREH MUST WALK TO SCHOOL State Rules That Pupils Living Within Two Miles Of School Must Walk ROUTES TO BE CHANGED No children residing less than two miles from a school will be transported to school during the approaching session, according to a communication from the state school commission read to the board of education in special session here last Thursday. This step was taken by the state as a part of its plan to cut transportation costs approximately 25 per cent. The commission ruled that truck routes would have to be re-arranged and stated as its policy that "the State will not be expected to provide transportation to the school of choice but to the school most accessible." Robert Shaw and Mrs. C. M. Haithcock were appointed members of the Macon district committee, succeeding F. M. Drake and C. M. Haithcock. Mr. Drake resigned and Mr. Haithcock was disqualified to serve on account of constitutional prohibition. Mr. Haithcock is a member of the county board of elections and under the law can not hold such office concurrently with that of school committeeman. The board went on record as favoring the establishment cf a department of vocational course of Business and Secretarial training in high schools employing five or more teachers, and that necessary equipment for this be included in the Capital Outlay Budget. The board recommended that this course be available to pupils whose marks in English come within the upper half as to grades and are in grades 10 and 11; and that as changes in the teaching force are made, substitutions made to the end of installing such department, which it is estimated will not re-' quire more than half of a teacher's time at present. 40 Elementary Negro Schools To Open August 7j The 40 elementary colored schools of Warren county will begin their work of the 1933-34 session on Monday, August 7, instead of on September 7, as announced last week.'

Powell. Moore was already being leld in jail under $100 bond 'or attacking Ed Bolton and 3eter Williams.

NEW YORK, July 19?Heavy elling buffeted the stock and grain aarkets today, bringing abrupt delines from recent peak quotations nd painful bruises to those sperilative novices who were getting heir first good workout on the lownside.

Pinal prices today were round the minimums. Tighter Credit A tightening of the collateral retirements of big New York city anks, which in turn caused many rokerage houses to demand lnreased margins on their custom rs' speculative accounts, coupled 1th an over-bought condition of tie market, seemed largely responible for the suddefi rush to sell cocks. Most bankers were frank to state tiat they felt the market had been ising too swiftly and with too litle regard, in many instances, for ctual values. The huge boom by Iconol issues, based on these comanies "prospects" in a prohibition;ss country, was cited as an ex mple of the speculative craze which as been sweeping the nation, and ; was in those issues that brokers osted the largest expansion in largin requirements.
