cLoTHES-LINE THIEVES
ARRIVE IN MT. PLEASANT

Some persons have evidently given
up all thought Of taking advantage of
the slash in clothes prices offered by
local merchants.
Nearly every morning during the
past week police have been Informed
that clothes lines in the Mt. Pleasant
district have been robbed during the
night.
An itemized list of the loot taken
would make bargain hunters green
with envy. As a result of the muictine
police advise that clothes be taken in
nights until the petty looting epidemic
is over.

Flowers and trees that grew in

Hospital with a broken neck it was sup
posed that he would die within, short

death, but is now walking around the

to support his head. The mans re-
markable cure was effected through a
delicate surgical operation, which turned
out entirely successful For weeks his
head and neck were encased in a plas-
ter cast. When he left the hospital he
walked away without assistance and
wore no brace or other contrivance. Miow-
sky received the injury when caught be-

CENTRAL LABOR
BODY IN ACCORD
WITH CAMPAIGN
Community Chest DriUe Ap-
proved by Head of
Organization.

Approval of the Community Chest
campaign is contained in a statement is
sued today by Charles W. Kern, president
Of the Central Labor Union. The state
ment follows:
"Organized labor believes in and has
always practiced constructive charity
The Community Chest is doing this work
efficiently at less cost than has been
possible by individual institutions, the
savings being used to do more work OF
relief and rehabilitation Of families, and
for that reason 1 indorse the Community
Chest.
THE plan Of asking each worker to
contribute part Of. his or her earning
power for the other fellow who is not
employed is fair and in me spirit of
fellowship for which organized labor has
always stood and for that reason l IN
dorse the Community Chest.
"I believe that union men and women
who are financially situated so that they
can. should and will contribute to tho
1922 Community Chest campaign, anc
personally I have faith IN the pledge o.
the men directing its affairs and every
dollar will be efficiently administered to
do the greatest possible good"
