Of the five cases reported during July only three should be credited to the city proper as one of the cases was a person who camo here with a funeral party from Oklahoma and the fever developed the day after the person arrived in this city. Another case was that of a child who had been spending the summer on a farm near the city and was brought into town for treatment after the . disease developed. One of the ministers who came here to attend the West Virginia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, w"as stricken with the disease the day after he arrived in the city, but the health officer says that the disease did ' not originate here as the minister was not feeling well when he j came to the city.

Among! the springs condemned was one| that water was being bottled outj of and sold to residents around' the city.

PEACEPROGRAM Policy Committee Starts to Negotiate Separate ^in Pull Asa m MJLLJR REPORTS ON KUIAKY UUNVtN I ION Complete Review of Wheeling Session Made at Local Club's Luncheon. On Tuesday the executives of the clubs in the twenty-fourth' district of Rotary held their annual meeting in the McLure Hotel In Wheel ing. President Miller of the Fairmont Rotary Club attended and at today's weekly luncheon at the Y. M. C. A. gave a talk on the features of the Wheeling gathering. Among other things President Miller recalled to the minds ot local Rotarians that Rotary Inter national is now 17 years old. It is made up of 1,250 clubs in twenty six countries; is represented on every continent and embraces t> membership ot 83,000 men. The one feature in relation fo Rotary membership which might be considered somewhat remarkable 1s that during the period of the organization's existence its membership has not run well into the lmn dreds of thousands. On the contrpry'Rotary has been maintalneo at a level assuring the proper classifications and suitability of members in accordance with the business and social creed lupoh which Rotary is built. Plans to further the inter-city cooperation of Rotary Clubs were discussed at the Wheeling executive meeting and steps toward that end are contemplated for the near future. Attendance at weekly meetings was another topic of importance and the heads of all state Rotary Clubs appear to be stressing the necessity for regular attendance at the mid-week luncheons. One's obligation to Rotary. according to President Miller's remarks, is founded first upor meeting with other Rotarlaps each week. That is the starting place at which the good that a man gains through Rotary and the good he may do for his fellow men through Rotary originates. So Rotarlans are required to attend their meetings regularly. . v-president Mtllert Yep?rOf cthw Wheeling session was so'complete that there was no other business of importance transacted today. Reports of committee chairmen were held over for reading at) the next business meeting. GRAND I (EF Til I 1'eethsoon Sessions of Ancient Order of United Workmen Next Week.
