Strike a Disease

Strikes must be disease. Fhey'
can hardly be any thing els,. when
one recalls the fact that four WorKers
in one family at the Tracy CITY
works are pulling down a total Oh
thirty-four dollars per day. A letter
recently received in the city OF staun
ton conveys the news that the aver
age daily wage at the same mine IS
ten dollars. A doctor who recently
made a professional call in a miners
family was invited to sit down to a
breakfast like this:
A hugh platter of scrambled eggs

Why Should They Worry

Just now when the nation is doing
its best to reduce the high cost of llV-
ing, it is interesting to note the man
ner in which the women of New York
are preparing for the opening of the
opera sason tonight. 1t is said that
thousands Of dollars, and, in some
cases fortunes, are being spent by the
fair sex for gowns, wraps, and ae-
cessories. A writer in the Baltimore
Sun several days ago declared that
she had seen gowns sell from one to
four thousand dollars each. If all the
,wnmen- of the country mobilize in
this manner, what will poor Mr.. Man
do then? No wonder the government
is not making more progress in re-
ducing the II. c. of L., and no wonder
the Grand Jury in Richmond, after
investigating for three months,
brought in verdict against the peo-
pie. In watching the high cost of
living one should also take slant
at the cost OF high living.-Harrison-

Harrisonburg, Va, Nov. 25.-Pro'

day night her they robbed both the
postoffice at Edinburg and the office
at Toms rrcok, where they secured
as near as can be determined about
two thousands dollars worth of wal
savings stamps, postage stamps and
several hundred dollars in currency
PostofIicc inspectors who arrived at
Edinburg yesterday to make an inves
tigation believe that the work was
that OF professionals. There is no
clue to the identity of the robbers al
though it is believed that the robbery
vas committed by three men who had
been stopping at the hotel in Edin-
burg for Several days claiming to be
tourists from Florida.
The robbery of the Edinburg office
is supposed to have taken place short
ly after midnight but it was not dis
covered until Postmaster Massey open
ed the Office on Saturday morning.
The thieves entered the front door
of the office, which fronts on Main
street, by breaking the lock. Once
inside the building they turned the
large iron safe around so that the
light they made could rot be seem
from the street, being hidden behind
the safe,
The safe was wrapped in mail
sacks, cement sacks and a large box
of mems rubbers to muffle the sound
of the explosion. The safe was drill
ed with several holes il the outer
door and nitro glycerine was the
agent used.
In the large safe the robbers found
key to the small safe which they
also opened and robbed Of its con-
tents.
The entire contents of both safes
were taken, which consisted of more
than $1,000 in war savings stamps,
postage stamps, 500 in currency and
two insurance policies for $500 each,
belonging to John and Mary Massie,
son and daughter of the postmaster.
Government inspectors yesterday
would make no statement for publica-
ton but were of opinion the men
were Of the same gang which last
week robbed the postoffice at Wythe-
vile, where they got away with sew
eral thousand dollars. The only clue
to the robbers is a lap robe with
which they covered the safe while.
blowing it open and which they left
in their fight. This robe was recog-
nized by several people as the one the
three men claiming to be tourists had
been using while they were stopping
at the hotel.
At Toms Brook the safe in the
offict was also blown open and sever
al hundred dollars worth of postage
and war savings stamps were stolen. |
