Health Association Hopes to Reach
Coal Of 10000 Before Season Ends

The returns from the tuberculosis
Christmas Seal in Barbour county
has been very satisfactory so far as
it has gone. The sale is being car
ried on this year very largely through
the mail The school children of the
county will be asked to do the main
part Of the personal soliciting as they
have done so successfully in the past
Special inducements in the way Of
badges showing the Seal, health Their
mometers for the school room, etc,
will be offered in this part Of the
sale
1t is hoped that the goal Of 100000
Seals win be reached by the county
in order that the program Of health
work may 80 ahead as planned. A
tuberculosis clinic covering two days
is scheduled for early in the new
year. As d result Of the sale last
year which enabled the Health Assoc
citation to do much additional work
cases Of tuberculosis were found and
treated successfully One case,
known to many, was that Of Miss
Whitaker, Of Philippi schools, whom
the. clinician recommended be sent to
Hopemont for treatment. Her case
became rather serious after arriving
there, but after several weeks Of care
she was able to return home and is
now understood to be getting along
nicely in the Northwest, where her
family moved during the summer
A large percentage Of the money
raised through the Seal sale remains
in the county for use here.

NORTHEAST STORMS
CAUSE HEAVY LOSS


New York, Dec 6.-People of the
northeastern states and eastern Can
ada today paid fortunes to break the
hold of the snow and wind storm
which swept in from the north
Atlantic causing eleven deaths in
New England, New York state and
New Jersey, and wrecking seven
schooners off the Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick coast.
No deaths were reported among
crews of the vessels which were
beaten to pieces by the storm. Fish
ing fleets suffered heavily and the
storm crippled shipping at several
ports. Fourteen steamers were ice
bound in the St. Lawrence river in
Queber.
New England reported seven
deaths from the storm, New York
state three and New Jersey one.
New York, Boston and other cities
spent enormous sums in clearing
their streets of snow ranging from
seven inches to a foot in depth. Sun
shine and rising temperature en-
abled the snow fettered area to
make rapid progress toward freeing
itself from wintry crop.

New Martinsville eleven go down be-
fore the Williamson high school team
for the state championship, Saturday
at Marshal field, at Huntington. The
score was 14-13 at the end of the
game estimates the relative strength
of the teams.
New Martinsville took the lead in
the first quarter, when 42-yard run
by Monte Potts, New Martinsville
fullbacv, carried theyall to William
sons 19-yard line. Up until that
time neither team had gained consid-
erably Potts slipping through a
hole at right guard, stiff armed and
sidestepped his way down the side
lines in the longest run of the game.
Four line plays, with Potts carrying
the ball three times, took it over for
the first touchdown.
Early in the second quarter Stuart
fumbled in punt on his 13-yard line
but recovered and 15-yard penalty
after two short gains nut the ball on
! the 4-yard line. Bartrug funbled a
bad pass from center behind his goal
line and was downed for a safety.
Williamson recovered tumble in
Magnolia territory few minutes
later and carried the ball by steady
line attack to the 2-yard line, where
Martinsville held for downs.
As the quarter neared the end Var
ney threw a perfect pass to Hamilton
for gain of 27 yards to the 3-yard
line Varney plunged over the line
for the touchdown but Hamilton's
kick was blocked.
AS the half ended Williams inter-
cepted a pass from Stuart to Potts
and ran SO yards for williamson
final score, the gun sounding as the
Williamson tackle snatched the bali
out Of the air. The kick for the extra
point was missed.
Late in the last quarter Stuart
slipped through the line for "a yards
to the 5-yard line before he was fore
ed out Of the bounds, and a minute
later went through center for touch
down. Stuart drop kicked for the
extra point.
New Martinsville showed a more
consistent running attack but was
weak in the air, intercepted passes
! and fumbles spelling its chances to
score on several occasions.
Bradshaw, Varney, Hamilton and
Morgan starred for Williamson, with
Bartrug, Potts, Stuart and Wilt bear
ing the brunt of the burden for New
Martinsville.
Officials were Frank Lane, Ohio

CHRISTMAS CAROLS TO BE SUNG

The ancient custom of singing
Christmas Carols will probably be
carried out here this year by the
choirs Of the various churches.
The custom is English in deriva-
ton and during the past few years
has been revived throughout the
United States until almost every
community includes the carols in its
observation of Christmas.
During the singing of the carols
a lighted candle should be placed in
the windows of the homes, the GUS

FORD BACKS UP
PROHIBITION

DETROIT, Mich, April g.
There is no reason why prohibition
can't be enforced in this country"
Henry Ford said today in an inter-
view during which the automobile
magnate gave his views on prohibit
ton and predicted an ultimate
dry victory.
II can see no reason for the
extended hearings and arguments
now taking place III Congress on
the prohibition problem" Mr.. Ford
said
II thought the Volstead law was
made to dry up the country. There
is no reason why it should not, OF
why It cannot be enforced"
Speaking from his experience
with prohibition enforcement among
the hundreds of thousands of Ford
employees. he continued:
Il know what l am talking about,
too. for we had it in our shops
even before the law was passed.
The present strenuous efforts to
make prohibition an outstanding
issue of the next rational election
were characterized by Mr.. Ford as
wet" move.
The only possible result will be
to make more certain the enforce
ment of prohibition" he said.
THE vets from the beginning
created prohibition and gave it
strength, he continued, land it
will be the vets who at last will
make the country dry. They have
conducted their business so that
they have provided good campaign
propa ganda. for temperance.
'Their exaggeration and discus
sion of prohibition is the same sort
of stupidity. We would never have
had prohibition if this had been "a
sober country. II the liquor bust
ness had been fortunate enough to
have had a brainy leader. the ques-
ton would probably have been set
tied without the enactment of the
drV amendment.
