Of trust, the Ohio Valley Trades and
Labor Assembly. composed OF some
sixty labor organizations In the north
ern section of the state have asked
for the impeachment Of W. NJ. Rogers.
president OF the State Federation OF
Labor. The impeachment papers have
been filed with Secretary J. L. Pauley

Rogers recently has been active IN
the interest Of Clarence W. Watson,
labor's greatest antagonist In West
Virginia, but who shortly before the
recent primary election entered into
an agreement with certain labor lead
ers permitting them to organize the
Fairmont coal fields. Many OF those
whom he induced to sign an endorse
ment Of Watson now declare they
were tricked into signing 1t. The sign
ers Of the resolution are mostly en-
ployes OF the Democratic candidate
for the United States Senate.
The following Is a copy OF the I'm
parchment proceedings adopted by
the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor AS
semb1y:

Dor Assembly herewith ask the Inn

A. R. E. Benefit A Success

The ladies of the local chapter OF
the American Red Cross, cre highly
gratified with the results Of the moving
picture show given for the benefit Of
their organization, at the Opera House
Saturday night. The net proceeds Ar:
ounted to $50. About 500 tickets were
sold before the night of the perform
ance and over 90 dollars was taken in
at the box office.
The $l2 box Of candy was won by
Miss Sarah Maitland. Duplicate num-
bers of all the tickets sold were retain
&c AMI one of them was drawn from the
hat. The holder of this number on the
admission ticket won the prize. The
first number drawn, number $40, was
held by the young lady mentioned and
she was in the audience when the draw
ing took place.
The candy was secured by Mr.. Sam
Blum of the Fad, from the Paul F.
beich Co. of Bloomington, Ill. The COM
pany stated in their letter of accept
ance to Mr.. Blum's request,
that although they contributed literally
to the Red Cross in Chicago and
Bloomington, where they have factories,
they were glad to make an exception to
their rule and in the next mail . dona-
ton to the Morgan City Chapter might
be expected.

II woman should walk into . re-
tail store and purchase the first suit
that she tried on. for instance. the
shock probably would prove fatal to
the storekeepes eJ the saleswoman.
The chances aro that abe viii try on

Taking . Chance.
This same woman. however. may or
der suit from q mail order house on
the strength Of nothing more than
pretty picture and an alluring descrip-
ton. She has not even the opportun-
ity to try 1t on, to say nothing Of the
chance Of examining the fabric. noting
the exact shade Of the material and
inspecting the workmanship. She Is
taking chances on the suit fitting her,
on the material being good and dur
able, the shade becoming to her and
the workmanship Of such character
that the suit will not fall to pieces.
The woman who takes such chances
cannot be called a shrewd shopper.
It might be more easily understood
why mere man, unaccustomed ana
averse, as a rule, to shopping excur-
sions, should fall victim to the cata-
logue habit. He might find it easier
to order from the picture in the cata-
logue than to go to q store and look
for the article that he wanted or he
might take the position that ne
wouldn't know what he was getting
anyway If he went to the store and
he might as we'll take a chance on the
mail order gamble, but why the wom-
an who knows what she wants and
knows that she is getting what she
wants when she gets it should buy on
the "sight unseen plan-well, that's
another question altogether.
Woman's Greatest Opportunity.
Women are taking more and more
prominent part in public affairs all
the time. They are aiding now In
many parts of the country in running
the affairs Of state. Even where they
do not have the ballot they are playing
big part, individually and through
their organizations, In the conduct par
ticularly of local governments. yet In
the one field where they can do most
to help build up their communities
they may be overlooking their oppor-
tunity. With the buying power in
their hands they can do more for their
community by stanchly supporting
their home business men than they
can possibly do in any other way.
Man may think he Is very impor-
tant element in the progress and devel-
opment Of his town but when he re-
fleets that 80 per cent Of the buying
power Of the community Is in the
hands Of the women he is apt to real
lie that he is very Insignificant atom.
