promotes wonderful fellowship
among the members of different
churches but gets all of the mem
oers working together and through
1her work and influence a great
deal of good has been accomplished
Ministers are not allowed to be-
come members of the clubs as it is
purely laymen's movement but in
all cities where there are these
clubs the ministers bear testimony
TO the fact that the evangeiistic club
are the minister's best aid and it is
said that the men who belong to the
evangelistic clubs become the best
workers in their individual church
es.
The Columbus Club has a men,
bership of about, fifty, divided into
five teams with a captain over each
team and ordinarily the teams go
out to different places and hold
services and where pastor has to
be out of the city or there is no
pastor for Church they always
stand willing to help out in any
way possible.
There are enthusiastic clubs in
Buena Vista, Ellaville and Lump
kin that were formed through the
influence of the Columbus Club.
On Sunday afternoon the Column
bus Club with representatives from
a number of other Clubs are coming

DOCTORS BEING PROSECUTED
FOR TARDY REPORTS

CHARLESTON, June 30-As a re-
minder that babies must be put on
record as West Virginia citizens
within ten days after birth, 81 fine
was recently imposed on five Berke-
ley County physicians as reprim-
and for their indifference or neglect
Prosecutions on the same charge
are now being instituted through the
State health department against
several physicians in Mcdowell
County After FIVE year campaign
to get the states birth and death re-
cords recognized by the federal gov
eminent, Washington officials re-
commend the employment OF
field agent to stimulate registration
and the arrests were due to this a.
gents activity. Although prosecu-
tons are said to be used as last re-
sort, the health department announc-
es that hereafter arrests will be made
wherever complaint justifies.
Complications recently arose after
the Glen White and Benwood explo-
sion because children whose fathers
were killed had no proof OF legiti-
macy and age, hence were not en-
titled to compensation until they Sc
cured it. The Charleston Office was
swamped with requests, and much
time was spent perusing records, Sc
curing affidavits which meant that
witnesses to birth had to be secured,
all of which resulted in considerable
expense to the state and Individuals.
1t is not infrequent for heirs to lose
insurance and property, because OF
unrecorded births and deaths, states
the health department.
A saving to the state of $500 per
year in postage alone would be af-s
fected if West Virginia's records met
government requirements, as free
postage for this work is allowed
states reaching this degree of perfec-
ton. MA&#
Only 68 per cent Of the births re-
ported in 1928 from Barbour County
were sent in on time.

WASHINGTON, june 30.--Feur
indictments charging Albetr B. Fall,
former secretary of the interior;
Harry F Sinclair, Edward l.. Do
heny and E. L. Doheny, Jr., with
criminal action lin connection with
leasing of naval oil reserves in Wy
oming and California were returned
today in the District Of Columbia SUI
premecourt.
A special grand jury which has
given weeks to consideration of the
evidence levelled formal charges OF
felony against the four men, whose
names have held the spotlight in the
prolonged senate oil investigation
and the civil litigation which follow
ed.
Fall and the two Doheny's, the
first indictment charged, entered in
to and maintained an unlawful con-
spiracy, from July 1, 1921, to De-
cember IL 1922, to enable the Pan
American Petroleum and Transport
company and its subsidiary, the Pan
American Petroleum company, to OBJ
tain control of naval oil reserve No.
l in California.
SIMILARLY the second indictment
said, Fall and Sinclair conspired I'M
lawfully between December 81, 1921,
and April Z, 1922, to give the Mann
moth Oil company, a Sinclair cor
poration, control of the Teapot Dome
reserve in Wyoming. The third in
dictment charged Fall singly and ac-
cepting bride Of 100000 from the
Dohenys to influence his action in the
the California lease, and accompany
ing negotiations concerning storage
and exchange of naval oib while the
fourth reversing the same, charge,
held the Dohenys up for prosecution
for paying Fall the money in ques-
ton.
Much of the evidence and many of
the implications dragged to light
during the long senate inquisition in
to the naval reserve leasing were re-
peated in presentments.
Fall was accused of having sought
to prevent the government from OBJ
tanning competitive bids for exploit
ing the naval reserves, and of having
made false representations to pre-
vent the appearance of competitors
against the Sinclair and Doheny com
panies.

benefit all our people, and will go far
toward paying for our state highway
system.
1t is clear that to make this enor-
nous traffic possible, we must first
have highways over which automo-
biles can travel. The only one of the
fccast to coast lines so far completed
across West Virginia is the National
Highway across Ohio county, which is
also the route, at that point, OF the
Victory Highway One Wheeling
hotel is reported by the newspapers
of that city to be entertaining some
three hundred tourists every night,
with all the other hotels of the city
also crowded.
"Tourists from all corners of the
North American continent" says one
Wheeling paper, "are being rendered
shelter in the city of Wheeling
while another says that there is an
overflow of tourists every night who
are sent to the smaller surrounding
towns. Similan experiences are in
store for scores Of cities and towns
of our state, just as soon as the state
highways are hard surfaced.
The hard surfacing is proceeding
at rapid pace, all the money so far
available having been promptly placed
under contract. Of the through routes
now under construction, the Midland
Trail will be completed first, because
| it happens to be the shortest, and
also because considerable part OF it
was improved by the counties which
| it traverses.
In order that tourists may see our
state connecting routes will also be OF
great Importance, and these have
been provided in every county by the
creation of the state system.
/ West Virginia roads will be of vast
lly greater use to the people of West
Virginia than to tourists, but the
tourists should be welcomed and his
need of good roads recognized, for
he will be helping to pay for them.

Communities, however, as rule
