The larceny churge Is the second
accusation to lie made against Miller
by county officers, who had previously
sworn out a warrant against him
. for possession of a pint of non-taxpaid

Officers said that the possession
charge grew out of the discovery
that Miller hm! a pint bottle of.
X whisky In his sock some time ap?
: when he returned to the Jail. This
discovery, the result of a ruse employed
by Jail officials, aroused further
suspicions which caused an Investigation

whisky seised one night were
placed In the closet to await a scheduled

led to discovery ( of; several
'. empty bottles corresponding to the,
brand of whisky in the closet the

spots around the jail. It is
' presumed that the whisky was distributed
among prisoners by tWft, thief

Mr. Cook Writes
Timely Poem I
"It's a hot and grueling Job in the
forge room* of America's war plants
these days, but the workmen there
are proud of their contribution to
our nation's all-out war effort, the
War Production Board pointed out
this week.
This pride was expressed {met(rally
recently hy William S. Cook, a
Negro forge rooin worker at the Atha
Works of the Crvtlble Steel company
of America at Harrison. N. J? In a
tribute to American fighting, men
everywhere. In his tribute, Mr. Cook
declared: /
"You are not alone, old timer*.
In tlila fight to Bare.the earth;
We, the boys down In the forge
room
Are bnttllng for all we're worth."

The full text of the poem, "Americans

the War Production Board by A. R.
Van Cleve, manager of the AthH
Worka, follows: . <

At the famous Atha works; .
Where erery worker doea' his duty.
No one stalls and no hne shirks.
