A BLooD-cuRDLfNG story was print
ed in The evening papers yesterday
about great fire that was raging on

another man running it for him. He

A CORRESPONDENT among the stu
dents writing home to a Parkersburg
paper made statement about the
number of cases of fever among the
students which is likely to prove mis-
leading if one does not not know the
circumstances. He said that the
weather was bad here and that there
were number of cases of fever among
the students which had developed
since their return to school. AS in
every case the students who are sick
took sick within day or so of their
return here it would certainly show
that they had contracted the disease
while at home for the holidays. Nor
gantown is above the average place as
far as health is concerned, and she
does not care to have the blame OF
damage done by other towns.
