Warns About Giving Clothing
Captain Buiki', of the Salvation
Army here, stated yesterday that he
had reason to believe that parties who
are collecting supplies of old clothing
flotn citizens of the town are doing
this for tho unworthy purpose of dis
posing of the same for their financial
gain. The practice is one which is
widely followed over the couiRry, he.
says, as long as the people are not
awaae of the facts, and the clothiov'l
goes into the hands of the second hand j
dealers instead of fulfilling the mis?
sion of charity as it was intended to
do. He has given freely from the
Army supples to these particular par
ties, he says, but has later become
convinced that they are abusing tho
generosity of the residents of the
town. One result of their practice, ho
SUVSi will leave the Army short of sup-
plies when winter comes and the need
of giving aid to the poor families of
the community becomes more appar

"USE YOUR CREDIT AT CARR'S"
berg and Howard, a large crowd is ex
ported to come to see them get to
gether. They are both genuine top
notchors in tho wrestling world, and
with the challenger allowing himself
n- comparatively short period to win
his match there is a guaruntee that tho
whole go will bo lively. Tickets arn
selling ut very popular prices.
Mr. Anderson announced on his re
turn from Boise yesterday that he wan
practically certain of having Marin
I'lestina come hero for a match tho
night of Labor Day, nnd ho expects to
have the winner of Friday night's con
test go on with this noted wrestler.
I'lestina is heralded as the real cham
pion heavyweight of the world, who i-i
only kept front having officially pro
claimed champion by tho tactics of
tho four men, Cnddock, Lewis, Stechoj
and Zbyscco, whom Bernnrr McFad
len, editor of the Physical Culture
Mnguzine and advocate of clean sports,
charges with having formed a com
bino to keep the championship among
themselves. McFadden has interested
himself in Plcstina and has repeatedly
tried to get him a chance ut tho cham
pionship, but without success. Failing
that, he arranged a match betweep
Plestina nnd tho Canadian, Jnck Tay

match, held In Madison Squnro Gar

A match between Plestinn and eith

usual attraction hero and would un
doubtedly bring hundreds of fans from
around the country to witness it.
