MR.. ROWEL ADDRESSES PIC.
NICERS AT Al CAMP.

1t was indeed fortunate that wea-
Their conditions We're as they were as
the 4th of July for they were largely
accountable for the great number Of
fellow county-men who were present
at the picnic held on the H Club
camp ground on that day 1t is need
less to say that all present received
benefits that such gathering Of
people always bestows on the indi-
vidual participating.
It was also fortunate that this as
senlbly had as one Of its guests the
executive secretary Of the West Va.
tuberculosis Association, Mr. Geo.
c. Rowel, who talked to the people,
urging them to accept the proverbial
ounce of prevention rather than
wait until it is necessary to take the
pound Of cure. He pointed out that
the "ounce" could be had simply and
easily through the effort Of the midi
vidual to educate himself thru the
county nurses, his physician, his
county and state health departments
as to hygiene and sanitary means of
preventing the Development Of
dreaded diseases. Mr. Rowels words
were truly words of wisdom and the
wise via heed and follow them.
Before his departure, this state
officer addresses a gathering of the
towns people upon the specific sub
ject of tuberculosis and the program
mapped out by the state for circum-
venting the subtilty and cunning Of
this terrible malady. He spoke for
chilly of the Importance Of the sale
of Christmas seals and plans were
formulated for organizing Barbour
County for its proportionate sale Of
these seals.

TO THE CITIZENS OF BARBOUR
COUNTY,.

After consultation with the Coun-
ty Court, and owing to the large ex-
penditures of Bond money, | have
decided to publish monthly state
ments showing the expenditure of
the various Bond Funds, listing the
amount expended, for what purposes
and to whom paid, pecentage of en-
gineering and inspection, and such
other information as will be necess-
airy to render to the public an ac-
count of the various Bond Funds.
By cutting out these monthly state
ments each citizen of the county will
in the end have in his possession a
complete termination of each Bond
Issue. Statements for the Cove and
Pleasant bond issues will be publish
ed beginning about August LIST, a
complete statement of the Valley
Bond expenditures will be published
within the next two weeks. As an
item of interest | desire <to State
that the engineering costs in Cove
and Pleasant Districts to. July first
have been less than one half of one
per cent, also that engineering, sur
veys, plans and inspection to July
LIST in Valley District have not ex-
ceeded one and eight tenths per cent.
We trust that the citizens of the var
ious districts will read each monthly
statement carefully, as these state
ments will be the accounting of your
own money.

COOLIDGE WON ADMIRATION
BY NATURE OF JULY 3RD
ADDRESS
He delivered at Cambridge one of
the most Effective Speeches of
His Career and one that will
Long be Referred to and Quoted

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July 9Th
Calvin Coolidge might have selected
Defense day as the occasion for a
swash-buckling speech on the glories
of war; he might have given, if he
chose, the Interpretation of Wash
ington's farewell address of which
isolationists are so fond, namely that
America should keep apart from the
rest of the world; he might have
even twisted the lions tail' abit.
which is not altogether unpopular III
this vicinity.
But the President did none of
these things. In stead he deliver
at Cambridge one of the most effec-
s tive speeches of his career and one
that will long be referred to and
often quoted.
Briefly, here are the significant
points in his speech.
First, that Washington cherished
no resentment after the war, forgiv-
ing his enemies.
Second, that Washington harmon
lied the divergent and conflicting
interests of different nationalties.
Should Assume Leadership,
Third that more progress can be
made by cooperation than by conflict,
and that America should assume a
leadership among nations in the re-
lance on the good faith of mankind,
namely moral force.
Fourth, that the United States
looks with sympathetic interest on
the security covenants now being ar
ragged as between European coun-
tries, allies and former foes alike,
and that such pacts viii have "the
moral support of our government
even though America cannot partic-
ipate in their guarantees.
Fifth, that unless security and
peace are assured by mutual cove
nants, Europe cannot hope to help
finance a revival of Europe"
Greatest perhaps in the whole
speech was this epigrah: "The
world has tried war with force and
has utterly failed. The only hope
Of success lies in peace with jus
tice.7 The speech was for the most
part historical and reminiscent.
Used Washington's Philosophy
1t was only in the concluding
three hundred words that Mr.. Cool
idge applied the philosophy of
Washington's career to modern cor
ditions. The words Of the President
are worth quoting exactly He said:
"fNhall not enter into the vain
speculation of what Washington
might do if he were living today.
Yet his farewell address shows con-
elusive that he hoped to be able to
lay down certain principles of con-
duet for his fellow countrymen which
would he Of advantage to them 50
long as the rational into which be
had wrought his life might endure
No doubt he knew the whole world
hear him. He had seen the life of
the soldier in time of war and after
that Of the statesman in time of
peace. He had an abiding faith in
honesty He believed nightly in
his fellow men. The vigor with
which he insisted on the prosecution
of war was no less than the vigor
with which he insisted on the obser-
vance of peace.

STATE NEWS

Sheriff j. F. Rodeheaver, of Mon
ongalia county, is said to threaten to
throw the spotlight of publicity on
those young folks who engage in
"petting parties in automobiles
parked along the roads near Morgan
town. He threatens, according to
newspaper reports, to give the de-
tails of these ''petting parties.N The
chances are that this is all bluff,
but it may accomplish some good and
work some reform. The newspapers
say that 'petting' is increasing to
an alarming extent in the univer-
sity town. No officer is going to
throw the spotlight of publicity on
some nice girl who permits her sweet
heart to fondle her little and the
threat of giving "details" is still
more ridiculous since it would be al
most impossible to come upon a
couple in an auto and be able to give
the "details" with any accuracy.
There is no question but what parked
automobiles, occupied by young folks,
are in many instances nuisance.
The country closed the saloons to
save the boys; must the garages be
closed to save the girls?
