see the end Of the States case against
William d. Shepherd, said Joseph p.
Savage, assistant states attorney,
shortly before court opened this

AT this time | think | can safely
say that the state has proven that
Shepherd had a motive for Staying
William N. McClintock, his million
aire foster son, and today we will
try to establish that he actually did. /"
said Savage, "Faiman will be our last
witness, very probably late today,
and if the jury believes him we will
obtain Shepherds conviction. II the
jury does not, then that is another
story"

THE HEALTH ASSOCIATION
SCORES ANOTHER SUCCESS

RalLlFFl, w. VA, June 1fLn,-
The work done by the Barbour
County Health Association in holding
clinic for the removal of tonsils
was temporarily converted into hos
pital, and patients from far and near
made appointments for undergoing
the tonsil operation. So many came
that it was impossible to finish all
the work in the time allotted and the
clinic was extended through noon of
the following day.
DR.. o. S. Gribble of Clarksburg, a
specialist in this kind of work, was
the surgeon in charge and he was
assisted by local physicians and the
county nurses. Several nurses on
duty in homes in the town gladly
gave valuable assistance in their
free time. Miss Edna NJ Hardsaw,
State Assistant Supervisor of nurs-
ing under Mrs Jean P. Dillon, who
was attending clinic in Elkins,
visited Philippi on that day to not
how the health work was progress
ing in our county On learning of
the tonsil clinic she Immediately put
on her uniform and went to work in
our hospital and stayed until the end
Many of our women citizens are to
be commended for their helpful as
sistance~ in furnishing the hospital
and in giving of necessary food and
much of their time to make this clinic
a success.
1t was expected that there would
be only fifteen patients to undergo
the operation but when the clinic was
closed twenty-three had left the hos
pital minus tonsils, and in most
cases adenoids. Latest reports are
that they are reeuperating rapidly.
The hospital was open to public in
spection and all day our towpspao-
pie we're ascending the stairs to take
a lock and all came away with none
but words Of praise. Dr.. Gribble re-
marked that the equipment could not
possibly have been improved upon
EXCEPT in the laying out Of a regular
hospital.
The work was undertaken prinei-
pally for the lower end of the coun-
ty and MANY wanted to undergo the
operation who had to go away dis
appointed. There were many others
who were not aware of anything Of
the kind being done who expressed
themselves as would-be patients had
they known.
It is therefore expected that when
the like work is being done at Be
lington, which is contemplated for
the middle of July, that the number
of applicants will be greatly in ex-
cess of those for the Philippi clinic.
Truly this work and work of other
kinds which the health association
has in it's program is worthy Of much
consideration and commentator.
Here are twenty-three people Of pre-
school and school age who have been
offered the opportunity of being re-
lieved of one of the handicaps to
good health and fitness for vigor-
Gus life, and have accepted it.
This program should be assisted
financially and in every other way
Part Of the money for carrying on
the work is raised by the Sale Of
Christmas seals and by appropria-
ton from the Red Cross. We believe
that each school district III the
county and the County Court should
do something in the way Of donation
or appropriation in order that -aa
work may be continued unhandieap-
ped.

BROADDUS NEWS
story.

Twenty-Five young men and women
were graduated from Broaddus We'd
nesday morning in the annual COM
mencement exercises. mo college
class was graduated because of the
addition of the four-year program,
which makes it possible for the pre-
sent high class in the junior college
to secure degrees in June 1927. Dr.
e. ]. Woofter of Salem delivered the
commencement address.
Dr. Woofter's subject was "Valu-
es". DIR. Woofter said there are two
kinds of lives the life that is and
the life that ought to be. The life
that is he said might be called a fact
life, and the life that ought to be
could be called a value life He il
Illustrated by saying that scientist
analyses a flower and finds stamens,
pistils, and other parts, and by re-
fering to records can place the flow
er in a particular kingdom and fam
lily. The person who is able to dis
tinguish the fragrance and beauty
does not have all the facts, but he
has the value.
The commencement speaker also
said that in trees there are many
chemicals and characteristics, and
that there is much work involved in
changing a tree in the woods to a
home in the valley The tree, cut
down and turned into lumber belongs
to the fact" life, but the lumber
turned into house that makes for
happy home for the wife and chill
dren gives value to the lumber-gives
value to life.
DR.. Woofter said that there are
many institutions that make it pos
sble for people to gather facts and
to assemble mu5l attenuation on
particular things, but the institution
that is building character and giving
value to life is the Christian institu-
ton. The Christian college provides
values as well as facts.
He told the graduates that three
important things in the value life are
faith, hope and love. "Guard well
your faith and your dreams" he said,
in urging them not to expect the
grandper Of life to be based on what
they could understand. Expect good
things, want them, hope for them.
Love must be nurtured and cared for
must be deserved.
Diplomas were presented by the
president of the college, Dr. Elkan-
ah Hulley. Academy students and
Standard and Short Normal school
graduates were the only ones to re-
ceive the diplomas this year. The in-f
vocation was offered by the Rev F.
E. Brininstool, educational secretary
for the Northern Baptist Convention.
Following the presentation of the
diplomas DR.. Hulley stated that the
campaign for $60O,00O.0O would be- (
gin soon, and that of this amount i
Broaddus will get $400,00000 and
Anderson s2OO,000.OO. DR.. Hulley
said eve will follow the Scriptures
and begin at home"
Music for the morning was fur
nished by the Broaddus orchestra,
by Miss Euphemia Shilling
law. Immediately following the
graduating ceremony special COM
mencement dinner was served in the
main dining hall The graduates sat
in the center of the room, at their
special table, custom of many
years standing at Broaddus.
