Middle Belt
Warehouse
Meet Soon

Middle Belt tobacco WarchouScmcn
will mold their annual meeting in
Henderson in the early part OF June,
and at that time will discuss COndi-
tons relating To the marketing OF
the crop next season, w. 3. Daniel.
OF Henderson. president Of the aSSO-
citation. said today.
The Middle Belt consists OF Hen
derSon, Oxford and Durham DIS the
largest markets, and six or eight
smaller markets scattered over the
area.
The convention here will be for on
~ one day. and delegates will prob
ably be appointed TO attend the an
nuai meeting Of the Tobacco ASsOcia-
ton of the United States in White
Sulphur Springs, ". Va. There will
also very likely be several local to-
bacco men to attend the gathering
in addition TO the representatives OF
the belt group.
Whether the Middle Belt ware
houSemen vii Task for an earlier
opening in the fall remains to be de
cded when the meeting is held. The
WarehouSemen'S association Of the
New Bright Belt of Eastern Carolina
went on record at their meeting in
Rocky Mount last Thursday in favor
uI an earlier start for that region.
They are anxious to narrow the gap
between the Border Belt and their
own. Should that belt be stepped for
ward by the White Sulphur Springs
convention, it is believed the Middle
Belt would request d similar ad-
vanCement.
1t is too early at this time to Gs-
innate the status of the crop as TO
whether it will be early or late.
Planting is in progress hereabouts,
and with favorable growing condi-
tons, the crop might mature rapidly
after the transfer Of plants to the
growing fields.

houses in Ohio and 1854 boards Of
education. In 1940-41 Ohio has less
than 1000 one-room schools but still
has 1,647 school boards. Experts
in the State Education Department
calculate that Ohio's education could
get along much better than it does
now with not more than 400 school
boards and thus save the taxpayers
close to $1,O00,0O0 a year. The
problem will be passed on to the
next regular session of the legisla-
ture.
The State Department Of Taxation
filed q detailed statement September
1 which shows that for the last fiscal
year, administrative costs Of the
state sales and excise division were
SET, 1894 less than for the preceding
fiscal year, while taxes collected
during the same period increased
$6,647, ,999. Doing a better job Of
tax collection than the preceding
administration, the Department had
I'll persons on its payrolls as Of
Sept. l, in contrast to s95 on the
rolls on the same date in 1888. the
last year Of the previous administra-
ton.
Under present U. 5. War Depart
ment plans, the Ohio National
Guard. exclusive Of tank units, will
be called into service for a years
training on October 16 at Camp
Shelby, Hattieshurg, Miss. The Ohio
guard consists Of 818 officers and
1912 enlisted men. The mobili-
cation order will affect all members,
active and inactive, Of the units
called.
"Ohio being one Of the states
having All absent voters ballot law,
members Of the Ohio National Guard
ordered to training camps will not
lose their opportunity to vote this
fall" Secretary Of State George
Neffner replied to recent inquiry.
1.-THE absent voters Lalo should be
in the hands of all county election
boards on October and enlisted
men can either vote before they
leave for camp on October 16, or
vote by mail after reaching camp.
However, al absent voters ballots
must be on file with the county elec-
