The first vote standing Of the : boys
and girls who have entered The West
virgtnian's Christmas Carnival was
published yesterday afternoon. A
glance at the list shows that the In.
terest is widespread, but that the
young folks are a little slow making
o start TO secure votes. Only about
thirty have been voted for, and none
Of these have a great number of votes
to their credit. The list showed also
that there Is plenty OF time for other
boys and girls to enter the race and
get started on with the leaders. "A
fewtminutest time spent securing votes
would place any energetic girl or boy
IN the front ranks. 80 =
More Nominations Wanted.
More nominations are invited from
both districts. Only very few ac-
tive contestants develop from a large
number OF nominations. Some make
o start and clip a few OF the free
voting coupons and then quit, others
never get further than to send m
their names. while a very small per.
centage OF the total number OF fnomi:
nees ever make an effort to secure

can spare o few minutes "a day, and
who have energy and determination,
are cordially invited 10 enter the

FFootballS Motif In
Window Display

i A verySinteresting display may bq
seen in Hartley's window this week.
In one side OF the store are about a
dozen suits. smoking Jackets. vests,
shirts, etc, each named after o player
Of the West Virginia team. In the
opposite window there are tho same
number of suits, etc, but the displays
are named after players OF the Wes.
lleyan team. An oyercoat in the West
Virginia side called "The Rodgers"
actually looks as if II was Ehrets
coat. The window trimmer Of Hart
ley's made one mistake, however, and
that Is that he named a shirt after
Swan instead OF o bathrobe. Swan

Foreigner Robbed
Then Thrown Out.

A bruised and battered mud.stained
Austrian appeared before Squire Lee
Toothman Of Pennington yesterday,
tellin sad story OF assault and rob:
berry.
1t seems that he had been hurt in a
mine accident and left with a crippled
foot. His name is Frank Pablich and
he came from Uniontown, Pa. to Mine
No. 0 back OF Farminton to visit rel.
.atiyes there. His relatives took him
in, and during the night, while he
was asleep, they robbed him OF $50,
allsthe money he had, and then kicked
him out into the muddy street In the
rain He accused Mock Sablock Of
the deed. Sablock .is.a boarding boss
at No. . and has a good reputation.
