PAGE 6 ~ J THE TORCH A department conducted tor The Warren County Memorial library By MABEL DAVIS The librarian L New Books For Children Early in the summer a group < twelve children under the directio of "Scnny" Lawson raised near] three dollars for the library in a entertainment given in the Lawso garage. As none of the childre taking part had been in school ovt five years, and several had jus completed the firsf grade, we want ed to select books adapted to thei ages and taste. Last week, in book store in Durham, I had th opportunity to select them. We ha previously purchased "Jane Hope by Janet Elizabeth Gray, for th more advanced of the group. Th more recent additions are "The We Scotch Piper", and "The Littl Dutch Tulip Girl", by Madelin Brandeis; "Red Feather", an Indiaj story, David Cory; "The Socia Twins", a dainty book of etiquette Carolina Silver June; "Northlam Bird Life", Roy J. Snell. The? books will be ready for circulatioi on Saturday morning. Other Recent Gifts We are indebted to Mrs. Charle: Rugg for a copy of "Genghis Khan, Emperior of all Men," Harold Lamb; to W. T. Polk for "Trees of the Southern States," by Coker & TTotter; to Mrs. William Rivers for "Tracing Our Ancestors," Frederick Haberman an exposition of the search after God which has found expression in some form through the ages; to Mrs. J. Kerr Harris for a large new copy of "Litt.lA Wnmpn " bv Louisa M. Alcoti; and to Albert Coates for two copies of "The Proposed Constitution of North Carolina," a comparative study, by Dillard S. Gardner and other members of the Institute of Government. The purpose of this monograph, as stated in the introduction, is to call attention to the material differences between the present and the proposed Constitution; to analyze the significance of these differences in the light of the conditions suggesting the changes; to present impartially the main arguments presented both for and against the proposed Constitution, and to present pertinent quotations upon such topics as have been emphasized, either pro or con, in public print or discussion to date. We are glad to be able to supply material on this subject at this time, when no one seems to know just how to vote on the proposed change. In Memory of John Alexander Pretlow The Library of Southern Literature, 17 volumes, half morocco bindings, was presented to the library yesterday by Mrs. A. A Williams in memory of her brother John Alexander Pretlow of Franklin, Va. As the title suggests, these books are a compilation of selections from the best Southerr writers. They were copyrightec back in 1907, with Edwin A. Alderman and Joel Chandler Harris a: editors-in-chief. Since then the] have been supplemented from timi to time and new copyrights havi been taken. The addition of thesi books will be very gratefully re ceived by lovers of the Old South. Other Appreciated Gifts Silver offerings continue to com to the library and we are ver grateful for them. They are beinj held for the screen fund. Thi screens will be large enough ti cover the entire window and, lik the other material used in the con struction of the library, will b made of the best material. Eigh screens will be needed. Besides the silver offerings whicl are no less appreciated, we Rav received for this purpose since ou last report $1.00 from Mrs. Mace |Pridgen, $1.00 from Miss Lo Brown, $1,00 from Mrs. W. K. Wil liams, $1.00 (for book fund) fror Jthe Rev. Mr. Maebius, Ridgeway $3.00 from Mrs. M. C. Johnsoi Norlina, and $5.00 from a friend. Visitors We have been pleased by th number of visitors who come to th library. Some of them citizens i this county who have never visil ed their library before, others coir from near-by counties, and we fr< quently have out-of-state visitor The last mentioned come in que: of data bearing on the early hi; tory of their respective families, i a rule. Out-of-town visitors du: ing the week were Prof. A. 1 Goldiere, Davidson College, Mi W. K. Williams, Grand Rapid Mich., Mrs. Iversary, Huntingto W. 7a., and Bob Kittrell, Texa kania, Ark. Mrs. Aversary, granddaughter the late B. P. Roberson of tb county, came for the purpose securing data to supply some mis ing links in her family line.

Warrenton, North Carolina I Lower Tobacco Tax Would Help Farmer A graduated tax on cigarette that would permit the sale of five cent packs was suggested at Farr and Home week at State College b J. B. Hutson, chief of the AAA to bacco section. Such a tax would increase th Jy sale of inexpensive cigarettes an thereby stimulate consumption .1 well as bring more competition int the manufacturing end of the in II dustry, he said. iy Greater consumption will enabl the growers to sell more tobaccc he pointed out, and greater com petition among manufacturers wi] [ tend to bring weed prices up. He suggested the present tax rat of $3 a thousand on cigarettes t ~ retail at $4.25 or more a thousand s Into this class would be packages 0 ^ 20 cigarettes selling for 12 1-2 cent ? or more. Next would be a tax of $2 j thousand on cigarettes to retail fo e between $3 and $4.25 a thousand 6 This would include packages of 2 6 cigarettes selling for 10 cents eaqb 6 The lowest bracket would be i 'j tax of $1.40 a thousand on ciga J rettes to retail for les than $3 J thousand. In this group would b( packages of 15 cigarettes to sell foJ e five cents. 1 Mr. Hutson said he was aware that some people were afraid thai such a graduated tax would tend tc 5 reduce the pride of the bettei > quality weeds, but he said it wai his opinion thatt the increase ir consumption of cheaper cigarettes would not materially affect the sale of the better grades. The cheap cigarette, he said, wil] draft many recruits from the smokers who have been rolling theii own from various mixtures, many of which are of the cheapest grade. Boys And Girls Perfect Federation New life to 4-H club work m North Carolina was given at the recent short course by the selection of outstanding club members to nead the North Carolina federation for the coming year. Beatrice Rimmer of Statesville, route 3, Iredell County, was elected president of the federation; Charles Palmer of Lawndale. Cleveland county, was elected vice-president; Wilson Forbes of route 3, Gastonia; Gaston county, was chosen secretary and Ruth Kiker of Polkton1 Anson county, was elected historian. These four officers, cooperat1 ing with L. R. Harrill, state clufc 1 leader, and Miss Ruth Current : girls club specialist, expect to have 1 more attention ffevoted to club work in every county during the year and to inaugurate a system of reward! and prizes to promote the movement for better farms and homes among rural boys and girls.

Timps havp r changed in that respect. Nothing e very new and startling is happening, with the President on his va- i cation and Congress back home t mending its political fenses, but we i have got so used to discussing se- \ rious and important things that it c seems to have become a habit, c Even in the "silly season" we find t it hard to be frivolous. \ For example, somebody asked the c ever-present question: "Who is 1 going to pay off this new debt the Government is piling up?" at the i National Press Club the oher day. \ The usual answer was given, "Our s grandchildren, of course." But one r inquisitive reporter wasn't satisfied \ with that answer. How many grand- C children are there going to be, 1 thirty or forty years from now? He 3 wanted to know. So he put in a lot t of time studying the records of he Census Office and his conclusions are so startling and, in the long c outlook, so important, that some Administration officials have begun to taKe notice of them and wonder 11 whether in some ways there has not! c been too much banking upon a fu- t ture that does not seem likely to be 1 realized. t Facts About Population c The plain fact seems to be that c the population of the United States u ^ < > < >; ssec <? yaw: ?The HUN' $ A Newspaper Wit K' i ?-? ^ VOL. 6 August : v $ i WARRENTON DAIRY PURE CH $ I | HSPE I =SER^ 1 | Our delivery service U to the point where it is ; perfect..

The er key board principle. ? I t s rapidly approaching the stationiry point. By 1950, and probably 1 ooner than that, there will no : onger be an annual increase in the ( lumber of people in this country. 1 Jefore the war we added about ,800,000 people a year to the population, by birth and immigration, rhat was the average over a long >eriod of years. Assuming that hey earned and spent a thousand lollars a year each, which is about he right figure, that made nearly wo billion dollars a year of new lusiness for American industry and rade, to say nothing of the denand for half a million new homes ;very year to house this increase. And, from the Government's joint of view, that rate of populaion growth meant a corresponding i i.i i _ ~ ncrease in ine nuinuer 01 persuus vho could be taxed, directly or inlirectly, thus enabling the nation increase is governmental expendiures every year and to pile up a growing load of interest-bearing lebt without really bothering any>ody very much. But?this is what the Census figires show. About 1924 the rate of wpulation increase began to decline harply. In 1910 the experts estinated that the Census of 19301 vould show a population of 150,000- | 100. Instead, the count was only .26,000,000. And in the past ten rears !t has dropped so rapidly that he estimates of the Census Bureau -among the most reliable of Gov. rnment statistics?show a growth >f only 800,000 in the past year. Prizes for Large Families? At that rate of decline in the anlual growth of population, it will ?nly be about 1945 when deaths will jalance births, emigration balance mmigration and, perhaps, from hen on, there wil be an actual de- , dine in the number of inhabitants ' >f this country.

The reasons for the decline in growth of population are two-fold. First is the restriction of immigration, which began to take its present drastic form in 1924. Second is the decline in the domestic birthrate. American parents are not re-1 producing their kind in numbers enough to replace the deaths. The figures here in Washington show J that the average woman gives birth I to less than one prospective future nother. And that condition is causng considerable concern among the jocially-minded members of the Adninistration?of whom there are plenty. They see their vision of a irave new world of their own reason being shattered by the refusal if American parents to cooperate i n providing future taxpayers. Cause of Decline The reason for the decline in the lirthrate is figured by some of the mart figures here as a change in he social value of the child in the lome. In a principally agricultural :ountry, such as ours was in its :arlier days, every child was an aset. In an industrial nation, howiver, with compulsory education and tnti-child-labor laws in force, chilIren are a liability to the average amily. Government economists and theirists look at these facts with mixed eelings. Some of them point to hem as justification for the movenent to curtail agricultural producion; some say the remedy will be 0 get more people back to the land. U1 are agreed that the great mar:ets of the future will be in goods or middle-aged and elderly people, or before long there will be more >eople over 40 years old than under wenty. In agriculture, for exam- j )le, one result will be a steady dejp .I,,,,, 1 TO THE HE a a m m And Uther Buyerj Eggs, Butter a t?BO We announce t COOLING from the district was thoroughly r< With the insta' expert we are ag line of fresh meat price is right.
