Attention was called today to the
work being done in holding families
together through the work of a home
economist upon the staff of the As
sociated Charities. She is Miss Isabel
A. Stevens. whose salary is provided
by the All Souls Unitarian Church.
Advises on Diets.
An important part of Miss Stevens
work is to advise with the society's
visitors in the preparation of dietariss
and budgets for their families. The
home economist also is a trained
nurse of many years professional
experience. She is therefore able to
adapt her dietaries 10 the health
srown-ups in her families. Besides
acting as consultant 10 the Other
members of the Associated Charities
staff. Miss Stevens gives practical in
struction in the homes of families
under care, and also conducts cooking
! mothers.
| An example of this work is that
| OF mother suspected of having tu-
bercuiosis and therefore physically
! unable to work with a little baby
to care for. The doctor advised that
| in order to regain her health she
must have nourishing food. but for
| lack of home instruction she failed
to gain until the family was brought
] to the attention of the home econo-
hov- ;<. sy,ef
tion in the proper selection of foods,
as well as their preparation, the
woman improved to such an extent
that she is now self-supporting and
able to take good care Of her baby.
Another Service Rendered.

/ in spite of this neglect, that the home
should be broken up without giving

are not only suited to their tastes but

to the trained workers of the Asso-

POLICE PREVENT CLASH.
Arrive When Strike Sympathizers
Intercept Non-Union Men.

By the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON. W. Va, April T.
State police yesterday morning pre-
vented what seemed a threatened clash
between mine strike sympathizers and
non-unioD miners in Wheeling. on the
line between Marshall and Ohio coun-
ties, when sixty or more men on their
way to work were intercepted by strike
sympathizers. The non-union men are
employed at the Benwood mine of the
Hitchmen Coal and Coke Company.
Arguments arose and were followed
by Kissing and angry words, but the
arrival Of the police stopped the out
break and the non union men were en-
abied to go to their work.
The situation in the Wheeling Mounds
vile region remains unchanged.
Operators of the New River field,
farther south. admitted yesterday that
thirty-three mines had been closed by
the strike. but that thirty four remained
in operation. This was met by union
officials with the statement that all
mines were practically shut down.
At Kanawha the operators claimed
day continued working yesterday.
Operators Of the Bluefield district
brought forth reminders that an injunc-
ton against attempts to organize miners
in the Pocahontas fields had been Is
sued by the state supreme court when
it was learned from Indianapolis that

THE THINGS SOME PEOPLE
FORGET.

The editor and his family must eat
three meals a day, or nature will
object.
They must wear the usual amount
OF clothing, or the public will object.
They must pay their w bills
promptly, or their creditors will OBJ
ject.
To do these things requires money
but so long as good but thoughtless
citizens forget to pay the editor what
they owe him it is difficult to under
stand how he can be expected TO meet
his own obligations.
Some people excellent citizens
too - feel just a little offended when
we send them a bill for subscription
They seem to think that we question
their intention to pay, which is moi
the case at all.
We, however, cannot afford to fee
peeved when we get a bill for some
thing we owe. We simply scrape
around and pay up.
The day of throwing out hints
and of begging subscribers to come
in and pay up" has passed.
A simple statement of fact is al
that is required for people who r as
good as gold for what they W us.

Strong arm tactics seldom win out
in the end. They may triumph for a
time, blu sooner or later the one who
uses them comes to grief and is
promptly kicked to the cal
You have noticed, oil course, that in
an argument the strong arm advocate
in his own estimation is always right
and the other fellow is completely
wrong. There is no debatable ground
for him.
You, perhaps, have also noticed that
it is generally the other fellow who is
in the right, because "other fellows
are invariably men who reason things
out before they begin to make a noise.
The strong arm man depends upon
his tongue work and his bull dog
tenacity.
The other fellow depends upon his
brain work and upon the ability of the
public to understand calm and com
mon sense reasoning.
These are things it might be well to
remember in the training of the chill
dren of Pleasantville.
AS the child is trained in youth, so
will it be when it arrives at the age
of maturity.
Whenever improvements are to- be
made in P~leasantville or vicinity, the
work should be done if possible by
people who live and pay taxes in this
community. By so doing we would
keep a majority of the money eXpend-
ed in circulation among our W PEG
pie.
Outside concerns are always ready
TO come in and do the work for us.
They are even more eager to take the
money home with them. Spending a
dollar with the people who produce
it is the least of their intentions. la
fact, ii is not their intention at all.
If there were no brains in this sec
ton we might consider importing
them from elsewhere.
But are you ready to admit that oul
b~raineries are nothing but empty
shells?
We can not go back to ten years

NOTHING SLOW ABOUT THE
FARMER.

Interests that for years exploited
the farmer, taking advantage of the
fact that he was slow to move-the
fact being he had no way of bringing
action to a focus-are stunned at the
Iapidity with which he is grasping
the first real opportunity he has had
for business-like organization. Already
the Board of Directors of the National
Live Stock Producers Association
have met and have planned their
course in establishing cooperative
commission houses at the stockyards
in Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland,
Buffalo, and Pittsburgh. This will not
sit well on the stomachs of the pack
ers, of course, but it is a situation
that must be faced and quickly.
The day of selling a calf hide for a
few paltry cents and buying it back
again in the form of a pair of shoes
for $14 has passed, and the sooner the
fact is recognized the better.
Representatives of the producers in
territory tributary to the newly plan
ned markets have presented requests
for cooperate commission house affili-
alton with the national organization
and have brought forth a mass of
! startling information relative to the
numbers of cattle, sheep and swine
produced, purchased, fed and sold as
finished product and something def
mite has been learned regarding cost
finding for the farmer. 1t will not be
long before the business world will
learn that the farmers middle name
is efficiency and that he is a business
man who has reached the turn in the
road. He has been pleading for fair
play for generations. Now he is going
to get it, and he will move to his des-
tined prosperity in seven league boots.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

We laugh at the millionaires when
they waste their time and energy
gathering automobiles, yachts. dia-
monds, and other luxuries and then
never use them. They seem to be
satisfied because they have what they
want. AS a matter of fact they have
what they don't want. But they find
their enjoyment in the battle for pos
session. Come to think of it were all
about alike, The greatest possessions
of humanity are high principle and
ideals, but there are lunches of us
that have both and never use either
of them. Dormant aspirations have
no more value than dead sea fruit,
One kindly act a day actually per-
formed. one thought translated into
accomplishment helps the world along,
but unused principles just clog up the
wheels. What kindly act shall we do
today?

TOO MUCH

There is some complaint oyer the
levying of the necessary tax for inan-
cling the soldier bonus. This affords
an opportunity for the periodical ex-
plosions which we require to let OFF
surplus steam.
But our explosions should be turned
upon a different subject.
There is too much waste in the pub
lie service. This waste is in the form
of man power-or perhaps it might be
more appropriate to term it barnacle
power.
Many government, state and other
office holders and employees feel that
they are doing nobly by their country
if they stalk majestically into theil
offices at 8 in the morning, loaf around
a while, put in a few hours of leisure
work, and go home or out among 'the
boys at 4 or 4.30 in the afternoon,
In the business world the average
man gets to work at 8 in the morning
takes an hour for lunch, and considers
his days work over at 5 in the after
noon-and not a minute sooner. AnC
those eight hours are put in at good
hard work. The loafer soon finds
himself out of a job.
The business man has just as man.
brains and knows how 10 use them tC
just as good advantage as does the
public office holder or employee.
Is there any good reason why one
should be required to hit the pace
and the other be permitted to side
step it?
If our public affairs were managed
and conducted with the same degree
of executive ability and prudence VIZ
display in commercial life we could
discharge one-fourth of our public
Office personnel and still be in better
condition than we are today.
The average man hangs onto his
own money, but too many of us are
ready to "let 1t fly" when the treasury
pays the bills.
Eliminate the official waste and ex
travagance and financing the bonus
will not require the addition of one
cent of taxation.
OF course, an army of political bar
nacles would have to get out and &c
to work, but that is what the Lore
intended they should do.
The boys who fought the war arr
