BACK BROKEN;
SHOVELS COAL
One-Legged Miner with Bad
Spine Supports Large
Family.

CLARKSBURG, Aug. 10.-With his
back broken. his left leg cut of near
the knee. two fingers Off the right
hand, and one finger on the left hand.
W. II. Dad" Satterfeld shovels coal
and ears good living for family
OF six children.
Dad" lives at Simpson, where he
works in the New York mine OF the
McGraw Coal Company. The story
OF the accidents and other misfor-
tunes that have befallen the miner
would fill large book. but with all
his troubles and affections he is one
of the hardest working and most in
dustrious employees the coal company
has.
About Is years ago Satterfeld fell
over a cliff at a stone quarry and
broke his back. Physicians and sur
geous said he could not live, but "Dao :
said he would get we'll and go back
to work in few weeks. And he did.
His left leg has been cut OF four
times. The bone is diseased and is
said to be slowly decaying. Because
OF the peculiar disease surgeons find
it necessary to amputate the bone Of
ten. II has been cut off near the knee
already Only recently Dad was at
the Fairmont hospital No. 3, and the
superintendent, DR.. ]. W. Mcdonald,
treated the bone. But 1t will be only
a matter Of a few months until ampu-
tation will be necessary again.
Straps arranged diagonally across
both shoulders keep the broken back
in place and serve TO hold the wooden
leg TO the stub OF the live limb.
SatterHeld operates fan in the
mines. He shovels about four tons OF
coal a day. In addition to this he
shovels coal and keeps the boiler OF
the fan engine going He does in all
as much as the average able boiled
man. and a great deal more than a
lot OF them.

Factories and Home Owners
Seek Lower Rates For
Fuel.
COMMITTEE TO REPORT
Objections to be Met Square
ly and Matter Thresh-
ed Out.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Fairmont Chamber OF Commerce will
be hell in the Chamber office in the
Watson building next Thursday even
ing at S O'clock.
The special gas committee appoint
de some time ago is expected to pre-.
sent q report Of the result OF its inveS-
tigation at this meeting. Cheaper gas
has been demanded by the people O.:
Fairmont not only for domestic use,
but for all industries. so that these in
dustries may be encouraged 10 remain
here and others induced to come.
Many OF the business people OF Fair
mont believe that the amount paid for
gas now is too much. and claim that
other cities in this section have cheap
er gas. and that financiers looking for
factory sites desire most OF all, cheap
fuel.
The gas company sees no rea son for
cutting the price of gas. and objections
to the decrease will likely be made BY
those whose interests might suffer.
But all objections will be met squarely
and the matter threShed out until
something defHite is decided upon.
either that Fairmont can have cheaper
gas or that it cannot.
Factories in Clarksburg are paying
four cents per thousand cubic feet for
gas. and in Fairmont eight cents per
thousand. It is this that the people Of
Fairmont want investigated-Dom Domestic
gas in Fairmont costs % cents per
thousand. and in Clarksburg 10 cents
per thousand. When questioned con.
cerning the reason for the higher price
being paid here. friends Of the local
gas company simply say it can't be
helped. Citizens directly concerned
are desirous Of having this explained
at the meeting Thursday night. in the
hope that a way may be found for cu:.
ting the price here.
Taxpayers Of Fairmont are not con
cerned in putting the gas company out
of business. or any other industry or
corporation operating in the CITY. They
are all interested. however, in the mat
ter Of cheaper gas. knowing what
great inducement cheap fuel is to pro-
posed factory building. and that costly
domestic gas hinders the construction
Of residences to a certain degree.

Activities and Poor Food" Miss John.
son stated that women are not to be
fooled. One thing that the man who
advertIseS should teach the consuna-
er Is that there is no such thing as
the best" she said. There Is no
such thing as pure food and the ad-
vertlslng men who tell the public
certain article is pure are not telling
the truth. Men are coming to realize
that false advertising does not pay.
They are awakening to the fact that
II pays to advertise, but that Il pays
TO tell the truth, and very often it Is
difficult for men who advertise to fiffd
the truth The time has arrived when
advertising should be run on edifcas
tional basis. Advertisements should
be used to educate consumers, not TO
fool them. The man who permits
himself to make an untrue statement
should be read out Of the profession. :.
At dinner Of advertising men New
York's most influential editor said
'He is a good advertising man whose
words suggest more than they say,
II you can make the reader think four
lines for every one that you write you

When one has an article TO adyer
tise, and to offer to the public fo1
sale, It is a wise plan TO explain the.
uses OF the article very clearly to the
public, and not leave any impression
that extra skill is required in order
to get full satisfaction from the ar
