It was emphasized at the meeting this mcfning that the public should not become alarmed, as the stringent orders weer taken merely as a preventative meat/ire, aiming to prevent the very serious outbreak of the malady which-is now prevalent in many of the eastern cities. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" was urged by many of the physicians in discussing the local situation. The meeting was opened with Mayon Bowen presiding and the following attending: Commissioners J. Walter Barnes. A. L. Lehman. Ira L- Smith, County Health Physician L. N. Yost, city Health Physician H. L. Criss, Dr. L. B. Boyers. Dr. C. W. Waddell. Dr. C. L. Holland, "Dr. Trach. Dr. Jesse Jamison, O. G. Wilson, super*-tenfent of schools. H. S. Lively, chairman of the Marion County Liberty Loan committee. C. W. Evans, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Dr. L. N. Yost, county health physician, was the first speaker and told of the outbreak of the malady in Spain where thirty per cent, of the people were affected. The first case was brought to New York city August 12. It was the opinion of Dr. Yost that "now Is the time to act" and that we should "not wait until everyone is sneezing and down sick." He expressed himself as being in favor of closing the theatres and other public places, excepting the schools, and abandoning public gatherings. It was his opinion that the big meeting of miners should not be held in this city Sun- | day as it would likely spread the mal- j ady, and thus cripple the production ; of1 coal, which he believed was far j wnrn imrwirtiint nt this tiniA than Ma- I rion county patting: over her Liberty loan quota.

Tbe Liberty Loan meeting scheduled to be held at the Grand on Wednesday: evening of this week to be addressed by Lieutenant Cadderhead, of Canada, has been called off by the Liberty Loan coxnmitte owing to the fact that all publi cmeeting., have been forbidden by the city officials as a precaution against the spread of tfce i-iflcenza. It is altogether probable that the big .sari le and celebrations scheduled for Sunday afternoon will be called off also as county officials deem it unwise at this time to hold this celebration. The meetings scheduled to be held in communities throughout the county for tonight and other nights during the week have been called oft indefinitely also. Other plans for the boosting of the loan in city and county districts will be devised and announced later by the committees. A big booster meeting was held at the Baltimore and Ohio round shops at noon when approximately 200 employes of the B. and O. shops and round house assembled to hear a four minute talk on the Liberty loan issue. County Chairman Henry S. Lively onrft a tallr nnH T.tpntprnnt i Carl Johnston, a 17. S. Marine, also spoke at this meeting. The employes ot the B. and O. have already raised over $5,000 for the loan and promise to do much better berore the time is over. City Commissioner Ira L. Smith also spoke at this meeting. This evening a similar meeting will be held at the Monongah felass works at five o'clock and Chairman Lively and Marine Johnston will also address this meeting. A splendid meeting was held at Farmington Sunday afternoon when Rev. Clarence D. Mitchell and Mrs. Kemble "White addressed citizens of that community in regard to the support of the Liberty bond issue. The meeting was held in the new school auditorium and the auditorium was packed to capacity. W. E. Maple, chairman for Lincoln district, presid(Contlnued on page four.)
