I IN .APPLYING FOR BONDS
I Washington. Jan. 27.?Here are
I Kin steps necessary for a World
war veteran to exchange his bonus
cerif;ca:e for cashable bonds,
^ cocplel with advice by the White
^ H::;se and veterans' organizations:

^ fcr bonds wil! be mailed by the
' tn all Irs

I field officers and local offices of the
Leans' organizations, probably

I If a veteran has net borrowed on
& certificate and 'has it in his
[ possession, he should send it with
Us application to the nearest rek
erji office of the Veterans' Ad[
ministration or to the central office
in Washington.
If a loan is outstanding against
the certificate, the application
should be sent to the Veterans' Administration
office where the loan
ias obtained.
If the veteran has made a certificate
loan at a bank, he should
send his application direct to the
Veterans' Administration in Washington.
After filing his application, the
veteran need take no further action
as his account will be checked
by the Veterans' Administration,
ionrarded to the Treasury, and the
mount due him will be sent him
in bonds dated June 15, 1936, of $50
each, with any odd amounts coverid
by a government check.
A little advice frcm President
Roosevelt and the veterans' organisations,

Bright Urges ;
Farmers To Hold (
Down Cash Crops i
i
BY BOB BRIGHT
I appreciate the position of the
farmer in regard to making plans s
for 1936. I would advise farmers v
to plan to plant 70 per cent of their ^
tobacco base acreage. This is the (
same per cent that was planted in c
1934. In the case of cotton I would s
plant 70-75 per cent of my base j
acreage. "
Thp npw nrntrrom if wo hovo nr\p -r
*AV ** W J 4 ?? U ill* 1 V W?*W J ^
will probably call for a reduction of r
25-35 per cent of the base acreage. 5
I do not think that the producer r
will be alloted any particular number
of pounds to market. j
I plan to have a number of trap ^
beds constructed in the county for t
tobacco plants. I will be glad to c
furnish plans and help in any way z
possible in the construction of these (
beds. A number of farmers are of r
the opinion that flies destroy their c
tobacco plants. This is not the! t
case at all. Plea Beetles destroy c
tobacco plants. These pests may be r
easily controlled by the use of the ^
trap bed. The bed is not expensive v
and is easily constructed. The plan v
is to construct the plant bed the i:
same as you have always done, but a
instead cf using logs on the sides t
and ends boards are recommended fl
and a good grade of plant bed cover. v
Then around the bed you prepare g
a strip about four feet wide and n
place logs around this strip and
cover with old canvass. The beetles
are then easily poisoned at the (j.
time they attack these plants. i
Those that are interested in the!
trap bed should let me know at
once if they wish the plans. ^

FINDS GIZZARD IN JOINT
OF CHICKEN'S LEG
A chicken which carried its
gizzard around in the joint of its
leg was discovered a few days
ago by Mrs. Spencer Scott. Mrs.
Scctt said that while dressing
| the chicken she observed a lump
the size of a medium hen egg in
| the joint between the long and
short leg and when she cut the
skin away she found the gizzard
of the chicken with other parts
attached. The gizzard, she said,
was apparently in perfect working
condition, as the chicken was
well, fat and growing.

The men and women in the Warren
county jail have no privacy and

W. A. Connell, one of the members
'jf the grand jury which recently
labelled the jail as "inadequate, not
sanitary and unsafe," states in an
5pen letter this week to the editor
)f this newspaper, disclosing what
nembers of the investigating body
earned when they visited the jail,
iis letter follows:
Editor, The Warren Record:
Without request or the permisicn
of the Grand Jury (one of

if the citizens of our county to an
irticle published in The Warren
teccrd of January 24th, headed
The Grand Jury Says Jail Bad,
3rison Inspector Says It Is Good."
The Grand Jury reported in sub;tance.
we find the jail inadequate,
lot sanitary and unsafe.
By inadequate, we mean that the
ail did not have sufficient space,
["he greater portion is occupied by
ne Keeper, it is noc constructed

and taxpayers would have it.

Not Sanitary. We found no arangements
for baths, or other santary
necessities; no means to pre- 1
ent the spread of vanerial or other
ontagious diseases. Prisoners were
lecessarily packed into cells to the

I. C., FRIDAY, JANUARY
WESTON CASE TO
SUPREME COURT
Gholson Notes Exception
To Judge Cranmer's Ruling
In Whiskey Case
OTHER CASES HEARI
The case against Ray Westoi
and Beulah Dean, charging tiier
with possessing whiskey for th
purpose of sale, failed to go befor
a Recorder's court jury on Monda
morning due to the fact that th
defendants, through tiieir attornej
T. P. Gholson of Hendersson, ap
pealed to the Supreme court for :
ruling.
In making known the fact tha
the case would not be tried thi
week, Solicitor Pippen stated tha
he had been notified by Mr. Ghol
son that he had noted exception
to Judge Cranmer's ruling that th
case should go back to Recorder'
court for trial and that it would b
carried before the Supreme cour
to settle the point of law.
The case rode to Judge Cram
mer's court on an appeal taken bj
Solicitor Pippen after Judge Tayloi
had granted a motion to quash the
indictment charging the man anc
woman with possessing 81 pints oi
government whiskey for the purpose
of sale.
In granting the motion to quash
several weeks ago, Judge Taylor
took tire position that the vote for
control automatically repealed the
Turlington Act as far as Warren
county is concerned and that if the
defendants were tried and convicted
there existed no law by which tc
punish them. The Turlington Act
whioh allows whskey to be sold
legally in Warren county, states
that "all laws and all parts of laws
inconsistent with this act are
hereby repealed," he pointed out.
When the case came before
Judge Cranmer attorneys for the
defendants were unsuccessful in
their efforts to have him upholr.
Judge Taylor's ruling and have
him forow the case out of court
Likewise they failed in their argument
thafr-the state should have
carried the case to the Supreme
court for a ruling if the state desired
to appeal from Recorder's
court. The defense attorneys noted
exceptions to Judge Cranmer's ruling
and this week Mr. Gholson informed
the solicitor theft the case
was cn its way to the state's highest
tribunal.
In commenting on foe appeal,
Solicitor Pippen stated that he was
not only addressing his remarks to
the court but that he also wanted
every one within the radius of his
voice to know why the case was
net being tried this week. He said
that due to accounts which had
appeared in the press the case had
been talked freely over the county
and that there had been criticism
of the court for not trying the
case. He held the newspaper responsible
for some of this criticism,
claiming that it had neglected to
make known foe facts when referring
to the continuance of the case.
He expressed the hope that if there
was a newspaper man present that
tie would take notes on what tie
had to say about the case being
continued in order that the people
night rightfully know why the case
is not being tried.
Judge Taylor said that he, too,
was well aware of the criticism of
the court which had developed from
the case. He said that the paper

Since the Warrenton Baptist
Church building was destroyed by
fire on December 31, 1935, there
have been so many expressions of
sympathy and interest that I feel
the urge to say through the columns
of this paper a few words by way
of appreciation.
Friends far and near have manifested
deep concern in the work
and welfare of our church. TSie
other churches of our town and
their ministers have gone the second
mile in offering to us their
houses of worship and equipment
that we might plan for and continue
our regular schedule of work,
rhe Warren Record has given generous
space in presenting our situation
to the public and in making
weekly announcements about our
services.

Four Painfully
Hurt When Car
Hits Frozen Rut
Dr. and Mrs. G .H. Macon, Night
Officer Kenneth Short and Dick
Abbott of Elberon escaped serious
injuries on Thursday evening cf
last week when the car in which
bhey were returning to Warrenton
from Durham struck a frozen, cutup
section of highway No. 59 and
overturned near the Sandy Creek j
bridge. i
Dr. and Mrs. Macon and Mr. Abbott
were painfully bruised about t
the body and Officer Short received e
a knee injury. Although their in- (
juries kept them confined to their <
homes for several days, all of them ]
have practically recovered now. ,
A passing motorist gave assist- J
ance a few moments after the auto- <
mobile overturned and the car was j
able to come to Warrenton under 1
its own power despite damages es- i
timated at $150. i
Failure of the Fuller Construction i
Company, which was given the job
of building the highway, to place a i
danger signal at that section of the ?
road was credited by Dr. Macon \
with causing the accident. He said 1
that the construction company had 1
placed danger signals at other bad 1
places on the road but had neglect- <
ed this spot and that the driver of (
the car, Officer Short, had no way (
of knowing there was danger ahead 1
until his car plunged into the cut- 1
up section of the road. "If Mr. ]
Short had not held his head we all 1
probably would have been killed," 1
the Warrenton physician stated.
Dr. Macon, Officer Short and j
Dick Abbott had been to Durham (

Monday Night
BOWERS IS PRESIDENT
The Lions roared mightily In
Warrenton Monday evening when
11 charter members gathered for a
dinner, served by the ladies auxiliary,
at the Parish House, to perfect
permanent organization. Claude
r. Bowers was felected Lion President
and was presented with the
first gold lapel button when he
made a brief speech accepting the

f)r. Wallace F. Mustian, William K.
Lanier, W. Kline.
The entire meeting was marked
jy good fellowship and plenty of
:un. The merriment was intensified
when the Tail Twister began
lis gyrations around the tables to
lenalize imaginary offenders. Judgng
from the spirit of the meeting
?he Lions are destined to be an active
organization in this communty.
Delegations of Hons came from
Roanoke Rapids, Henderson, and
Raleigh to bring greetings from
heir respective clubs. Roanoke
Rapids, one of the youngest Lions
Ulubs in the State, sent a delega;ion
of nine headed by Lion Presiient
J. Byron Gurley and Attorney
3cott Benton, both of whom were
nstrumentai in starting tne Lions
n that city.
Lairy Slater, special representa;ive
of Lions International, presid:d
at the dinner and addressed the
:lub on service club work, pointing
>ut that Lions International is the
argest association of business mea^ ,1
:lubs in America, with more than
1700 Lions Clubs located" tfcfOUfhjut
the United States, Canada, ' ' W
Mexico, and several other countries.
Mrs. Slater, who accompanied her
lusband here, assisted at the piano

District Governor Forrest Heath of
&aleigh. On charter night the
iadies will be invited, and visiting
[.ions will bring their ladies, the affair
being a gala occasion.
Formation of the Lions Club here
s looked upon by many as a very
instructive move, realizing that
