office, made an easy escupe with almost j $?.000 in cash. The hold-up occurred , about two o'clock tn the afternoon ami although it wu at an hour v. hen many peopl pass th store none, have bcvti found who noticed the bandits Uavius . with their loot. ' R.

Canan, the manager, was in n. rear room counti'.iK money w hich iu i ! been receuvixi from the sale of Amencan Express Company money orders j fnd had just started to mako out h d!Eosit lip when ho heard the front : door open.

"With threats of bating their heads blown off if they made a j rie.ise the bandit then locked the office j

By that time the bandits hd a good start and the police were unable to get any trace of them Both of the bandits were whit", but the victims were able to eive a des

It is rot known as to whether th men valkel away or bad an automobile or motorcycle. The fact that th one wore lcggins lei to the behef that perhaps the two had escaped by motorcycle. The manner tn which the hoid-up was eniuctd leads to the belief that the men were acquainted with the layout of the building and knw nt what time to stage the hold-up.

By Nick West I hae had no love for politjcs. because they seem so full of tricks, but just the same right now I aim to do lomt tall campaigning. If I'm to swat this high-cost-plus which keeps u a!l in snch a muss I've got to work, I must not shirk, nor just sit by, complaining. I ve got to work among the folks who look on politics a jo!:cs and prove to them they must condemn these blunders Democratic. I've got to show them what we've lost through all these years when we've been bossed by those who spent our last blamed cent with power autocratic. re got to work on tke:r disgust and show how we've bent hsrrh-cost-phjMed by wasteful slips in b'.tiMing ships and powder planti rxr.-n-ive: how we've been scakci for heavy tax by methods wild and loose and la of cost-plus champs who built our camps with recklessness intensive; how we have paid for aeroplanes which brought no other sort of gains but piles of bunk and useless junk to halt the army action. How we've been soaked for higher rates on passengers, express and freights and prices high on all we buy, -hich drives us to distraction. With everything in such a mess it's up to you and me, I guess, to do our bit and not just sit. our duties disregarding. To make this country safe f-r us we've got to get into the fuss. We've got to fight with all our night. We've got to work fcr Hr iT.
