MONROVIA BANK ROBBED

Between $4,000 and $4,000 it is
estimated, in Liberty Bonds, War Saw
ings Stamps and other securities,
equivalent to cash, was stolen from
twenty-five safe deposit boxes by yegg
men who robbed the Monrovia Bank,
Station of the Central Trust Company
early Saturday morning. The thieves
entered the bank thru a rear window,
burned out the combination on the out
or vault with acetylene torches, and
forced and rifled the deposit boxes.
No attempt was made to open the safe
containing the money just inside the
vault.
The contents Of practically every
box was removed and examined. All
securities equivalent to cash were ia
ken and the other papers were thrown
on the floor. One boxholder lost
$1,000 in cash belonging to a relative.
A small amount Of Christmas savings
taken in after the safe was locked Is
also missing. The largest amount
taken from any one box Is said to be
between $4,000 and $4,000, practic-
ally all in Liberty Bonds and War Saw
ings Stamps, some of the bonds being
registered. It is understood that one
box owner lost several registered
bonds. Every box was rified and what
was not deemed of value by the thieves
was thrown aside. The floor inside
Of the vault was Uttered with papers.
They took securities only that could
be converted into cash.

WhooninR Cough.

This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five
years of age, but when no paregoric,
coddne or other opiate is given, is
easily cured by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Most people be-
lieve that It must run its course, not
knowing that the time is very much
shortened, and that there is little dan
ger from the disease when this remedy
is given. It has been used in many
epidemics Of whooping cough, with
pronounced success. II Is safe and
pleasant TO take. ADV,

WHO LOVES ALIENS FOOLISH
INFANT NOWt

The Associated Industries IS now
fighting the Kansas Court Of Indus
trial Relations! Page somebody to
pick up the pieces. Even Governor
Allen has given il up as a bad job.
He's through.
When the Kansas Court was en-
gagged in the work Of making wage
cuts stick by force Of law the Asso-
eiated Industries, an association Of
reactionary employers, filed the press
with praise and propaganda in favor
of similar institutions in other states.
Didn't it put the workmen where
they belonged, didn't it reduce wages,
and didn't it protect a mythical public
by prohibiting strikes? prohibition
was once a popular word)
Now the time has come when the
Court is convinced that there is a limit
to wage cutting, at least for women.
1t is a paternalistic and humanitarian
attitude. But the Associated Indus
tries does not agree that the Court
can put limit on wage cutting, even
for women, unless it can be proved
that the wage is so low that it re-
suits in immoral or unwholesome liv-
ing conditions. That is the standard
which the employers Of Kansas believe
in--some Of them. So they have FLED
suit, through individual members, to
