EXTREME CARE K IN
DISTRIBUTION OF p

numerous cogs which go to make
up a newspaper and Its delivery,
slips, then the bundles are late.
The hoy Is then forced to walt
around at the street car or rail-
road stop In the cold for his late
papers. This uncertainty, coupled
with the complaints Of his subscrib.
ers. often discourages the agent and
he quits.
The West Virginian has a com.
plete complaint department which
checks up all missed and late pa
pers, and everything Is done to cor
rect the trouble just as soon as It
is reported. The distribution or
g%anization in the suburban towns
Is remarkably successful when one
considers that in nearly all cases
the papers are delivered by a boy,
one who has all the characteristics
Of a boy, one who is playful and full
Of mischief and one who has all Of
the qualities Of good and bad that
a real boy has. In the distribution
of a newspaper there are no high,
ly paid specialized agents such as
are found in the distribution Of 9th.
er commodities. The agents are
boys, boys who have to be trained
and watched at every turn to keep
them headed In the right direction.
To do this, The West Virginian has
field men who ride the trains and
cars every day to straighten ont
all the tangles and to keep good de.
pendable boys on the Job, SO that
the readers may receive their pa.
per promptly every day.

tween 4 and 8 o'clock. These boys
are real little business men, with
lots of pep and punch. They are
regular "go-getters," and ali one
has to do to be convinced OF this
is to see them grab their papers
and go tearing down the street Ia
hurry the news to the waiting pub
lie. These boys sell more papers
each day than the combined sale Of
all other papers sold on the streets
OF Fairmont In one day. They are
proud Of their record and are con,

missed papers are verified at the
office after the route boy has de-
livered them. This is done in or.
der TO make sure that the route boy
actually does deliver the paper.
Routes Well Planned.
All Of the twenty routes in the
city have been carefully laid out
to cover the city in the shortes.
possible time, and usually an ei.
fort is made to get a route boy who
lives on his route in order to hurry
the delivery of missed papers. It
has ben found that missed papers
can be delivered much faster this
way than by sending out the pa.
pers from the office. The route
boys are instructed to be courteous
and.act like gentlemen at all times
Service is the keynote OF all the
efforts OF each route boy. To this
end, The West Virginian gives each
boy who does not have a single
complaint on his route in a week a
cash bonus. Should he miss a pa.
per and have a complaint, he is
fined a small sum-. This has beer
found the best system by which to
give the readers good service
Fourteen out OF the twenty route
boys had a clean record for Febru.
airy. Fourteen out Of twenty boys
never missed a paper during the
whole month.
Subscribers Protected.
Recently The West Virglnian es.
tablished a rule that no route boy
would be allowed to sell papers
while delivering his route. This
action was brought about to pro.
tect the regular subscribers. 1t
was found after a careful investi
cation that the time taken up by
the route boys In selling the extra
papers to the people who bought
the paper just once In a while could
he better used to giving the regll!
lar subscribers prompt delivery.

ing to give its readers and friends

Thus, by easy means Of the
garrulous Hapgood, appear per-
sons, places. institutions; lives,
homes, activities; the web and the
tangle and the amenities Of a
minute fragment Of human exist
ence. Life. An odd business. Into
life we come, .mysteriously arrIv-
ed, are set on our feet and on We
go; functioning more or less inef-
fectIvely, passing through permu-
tations and combinations; meet
ing the successive events, shocks,
surprises Of hours, days, years;
becoming engulfed, submerged,
foundered by them; all of us on
the same venture yet retaining
nevertheless each his own indivl-
duality as swimmers carrying each
his understandable burden through
dark, enormous cavernous seas.

THOUGHT NOT REALLY RAPID
Mind Moves Comparatively Slowly,
Notwithstanding Expression That
Has Become Common.

"As quick as thought" Is an express
sion much used to denote the acme
of speed in action, but, like so many
popular expressions, this one is mis-
leading. Thought, or at least the men,
tai registering Of a sensation, Is not
an exceedingly speedy process, the
thought impulse moving at the COM
paratively slow speed Of no feet a
second, or IS miles an hour. Light
travels nearly nine million times as
swiftly. Thought would be hopelessly
beaten in a race with a motorcar.
Perhaps a good illustration of the
comparative slowness of thought
waves is to assume that q man had
an arm IS miles long and that, when
he was not looking friend should
grasp his hand. Before the owner Of
that arm became conscious that his
hand had been touched, the friend
would have released It, and had time
to walk four miles or eat a very ex-
tensive dinner.-Kansas City Star.

Two Klnds Of Thinkers.

There are two kinds of people In
the world-word people and fact
people. The former deal In words and
phrases and form their judgments on
opinions and beliefs. The latter
analyze questions and draw con.
illusions only from the point Of view
Of what they believe to be established
facts. The two types are as far apart
as the north and south poles and are
incapable of carrying on anything In
the way Of intelligent argument or de-
bate, because they do not talk the
same language or think by the same
method. The word man starts with q
desired conclusion and fashions his
facts to produce that result. The
fact man analyses his subject, seeks
to establish the truth In regard to
facts which have q bearing on 1t and
then fearlessly draws what he be-
lieves to be honest conclusions. Bis
process Is like the working out Of a
mathematical problem; he does not
know what the answer will be until
the last figure Is made. He thinks for
ward, while the word man thinks
backward.

To Utilize Waste Time.

A system In vogue In a few New
York department stores to utilize the
snare time Of their employees when
customers are few Is to hold meetings
of a semi-social character, in which a
part or the whole Of their forces can
participate. One Of the most popular
and beneficial Of those systems, from
the viewpoint of the employers and the
employees, is to assemble the forces
and sing songs and hear short address

store executives or others. A daily
