SIMPLICITY.

That l may never cease to be
Wooed daily by expectancy;
That evening shadows In mine eyes
Dim not the light OF new surprise:
That I may feel. til life be spent.
Each day the sweet bewilderment

In snowy winters, golden springs.

He's found you have nuts and expects

Now he holds up his paws,
And with teeth and with claws
He soon has a goodie bestowed in his

But I fear he's too sly
He sees everything with that bright little

Industrial and commercial inter
ests in the United States today
find their greatest difficulty IN re-
tenton of their skilled labor. Part
of the trouble is no doubt due 10
the condition produced by the
war; yet it is equally certain that
the difficulty will. in large meas
ure, carry over after the restora-
ton OF peace. In the activities or
the modern commercial club APP
pears the first and most potent
factor for the future "anchorins
of labor in these communities
where employers find permanent
personnel essential for the sue
cessful conduct Of their enter
prises.
The newer functions Of the
American commercial club are
just coming into prominence. The
modern commercial club has gone
over from a basis Of individual
selfishness to one of community
selfshness. BY community self
ishness mean attention 10 every
community problem-be 1t civic,
educational, social, commercial or
the bigger. broader. more COM

1t is evidenced by the fact that,
in the middle west commercial
organizations are deroting from
90 TO 10 per cent Of their time, en-
ergy and money to civic problems.
The modern MANUFACTURER
spells efficiency in terms, of con-
tented working men. who have
attractive homes, we'll furnished
for themselves and their families
to live in, together with amuse-
ments and recreational facilities
provided by the community or by

town. Instances may be adduced
of firms that have lost numbers OF
married and unmarried workmen
who were unable to find homes for
their families or suitable rooms
for individual occupancy. This
consideration applies to foreign
born workmen as we'll as to
Americans.
Recently tQree man uldCluIeIS
in a small community in Wiscon-
sin cited cases of skilled me-

both cases, the manufacturers de-

TRIBUTE TO THE STOGIE

Charleston Gazette.
The bactl of "old higher prices
has at last attacked tobacco and the
first thing Ia take an upward jump Is
a quantity of rolled up tobacco, known
as stogy, and already the manufac-
turers of this average mans smoke
has announced that in the future there
will be an advance in their price.
Stogies are somehow or other asso-
ciated with West Virginia, and wheth-
err correctly named or not. the earliest
recollection one has of the stogy was
many years ago when the thin, cheap
weeds were referred 10 as wheeling
Stogies, and it is known that they real
ly put Wheeling on the map before
iron, steel and glass added to its COM
mercial greatness. The names OF Pol
lack and Marsh are household names
in thousands Of homes and they were
manufacturers OF stogies. In the city
Of Wheeling is Il monument erected 10
the late Augustus Pollack by the stoge
rollers union and it is the only monu-
ment erected by union labor 10 an en-
ployer in the United States, showing
The esteem in which this stogy manu-
facturer was held by his men.
The word stogy has at last found its
way into the dictionaries and thus the
name is secure. although raising its
price may make the name obsolete,
for will not a stogy if the price be-
comes as much as five cents each
cease to be Il stogy and become a CT
gar? If such is the case one no longer
will be able 10 go into a tobacconist's
and order two furS" or three furs,
but instead will get one for five cents.
Then also we will be deprived Of the
pleasure Of smoking one of these heavy
rolls. taking drink of water and &C
quirng the accompanying jag which
comes from such luxurious dissipa-
ton.

THE SUDDEN MIR. QUICK.

Introducing Mr.. Quick-Mr. Her
bert Quick, who has just grabbed off
a $4,000 federal berth 10 the con-
sternation OF those deserving Demo
Gratis" in West Virginia to the manor
born. The appointee to the Rural
Credits board seems TO be Berkeley
Springs squatter, of years tenure.
Even if he has acquired legal resi-
dence in this State. he is yet TO cast
his first vote. 1t looks. like he had
been planted in the pleasant groves
of Berkeley to mature for purpose.
True to his name Mr.. Quick drops
onto a surprised Democracy with the
suddenness Of a bolt out Of the blue.
1t is true Senator Chiffon assured the
President he would offer no objection
10 MIR. Quick's confirmation, but per-
haps he was hit so quickly by the re-
quest of his great and good friend OF
the White House that he hadn't time
10 realize what struck him.
For a State that gave its electoral
vote 10 Wilson this seems to be pretty
shabby treatment. 1t would have
been much better had the President
gone out of the State for this appoint
ment. Mr.. Quick is not identified with
West Virginia in any way, but there
is no discounting his versatility. he
is just fresh from the sanctum OF an
AGRICULTURAL paper, the editorship OF
which he relinquished a few months
ago, probably to study practical farm
ing to fit himself for the job he had
in sight BY persuasion and profess
sion he is a Democrat. Early in life
be taught school and pracuced law;
then tried his hand at managing
telephone company plying between
Nebraska and Iowa. Out OF three
nominations for mayor Of Sioux City,
Iowa, he scored one election. In 1902
he was a candidate for the Supreme
Court of Iowa, but his political asso-
Citations were bar to his elevation in
that direction. However, the Presi-
dent has tagged him as West Viz
ginian, ard all that is left for the ma
! tive Democrats to do is to accept Mr..
Quick, and like demre maiden OK
claim, this is so sudden
