A projects which are a' present under way in Warren county are not responsible for farmer: having difficulty in securing hands Miss Lucy Leach, superintendent o: Public Welfare in Warren county explains. She says that there are only i M comparatively few men and womer at present employed on relief pro jects and that these are not desira ble farm hands. For the past several weeks farm I ' ers have been unable to secur hands to pick cotton and prior ti this they experienced difficulty ii getting men and women to worl in tobacco and on other crops. Thi j | result of this has been that thi " ' 1 fnr tflk w. r- t\. nas uccii wivuiiivu ing care of men and women who if it were not for this relief agency it is claimed by some, would be ii the field earning their own living. The shortage of farm labor ha: not only been felt in this county bu also in many sections of easten Carolina. A few weeks ago farm ers of Harnett county picketed thi roads to prevent farmers from oth er sections coming there, hirini their hands, and hauling them t( distant fields in trucks to work Laborers have also been hired ou of this county by growers of near by counties which, offered highe: prices for cotton pickers tjian price which have prevailed for this worl in this immediate section. Miss Leach's letter of explanatioi follows: "It has been reported to us tha it is almost impossible to get farn labor on account of there being si many people employed on W. P- A Projects. "At the present time there ar bout four white men and tei lolored men and about twenty-on white women and nine colored worn en working on all Warren Count; Projects. Of course, the number o P. A. workers vary from time t _ nine, i ao not think those who ar now working on W- P. A. project are desirable farm hands, so I d not think that having W. P- ^ Projects in the county is the reasoi that labor is so hard to get. "At times people are employed ii the county by the N. C. Employ ment Service, by the P. W- A. an State Highway Commission- Ofter I think, the citizens confuse P. W A A. With W. P. A. workers. Thos W working for P. W. A. or for N. C I employment Service and Stat Highway Commission do not hav to be relief cases, but those work ing on W. P. A. have to be certifle as being in need of help, ' At the present time the cas workers in the Welfare Office at not taking applications of peopl they think can work on the fan but are urging these people to fin -- >lueni in tneir com niunities."

Department Store ESCAPED FROM QUARRY Seven suits of clothes, a leather jacket, some women's wearing apparel and possibly other goods have been stolen from the Warrenton Department Store, J. Boyd Davis, proprietor, learned yesterday when he began a check-up after missing one of the suits when he looked for it. Mystery surrounds the robbery in that Mr. Davis has not yet learned how the thief or thieves entered and left the store. Both rear and front doors of the store have been found securely locked each morning when Mr. Davis opened his establishment and there has -not , been found the slightest evidence s of any one forcing a window at the < back of the store. i The only solution that Mr. Davis J is able to offer to the crime is that the thief has a key which will fit ' his Yale lock on the front door or ' some one hid in the store until he locked up and left later in the night with the clothing by releasing the night latch from the inside. Mr- Davis missed the leather jacket several days ago, but it was not until yesterday morning that he discovered that the suits of clothes ! had been taken. He summoned of- ' ficers after discovering the robbery and at present they are working on what appears at present to be a clue-less case. t "Marse Ed's" j "finishers'' Now In Hands of Lavr 1 -?

Bennett was identified by Albert Davis, negro, as the man who stole $110-00 from him approximately two years ago. Both of the accussed negroes are being held in Raleigh to face trial there on other counts after which they will be returned to Warren county to face trial.
