FIRST REGIMENT
. NEEDS 500 MEN
Recruiting Office Has Been
Opened-Chance for
Drafted Men.

Volunteer recruiting into the First
Regiment West Virginia Infantry has
been reopened and young men who
are desIrous of serving their country
in this branch of the service may en-
list. The reopening of the recruiting
office Of the First Regiment has been
made necessary by the fact that near
ly five hundred men are needed to
bring the local Regiment up to its
full war strength.
The news that enlistment into the
First Regiment is again open to
young men will be welcomed by many
Of the patriots Of this district. The
First Regiment has made a name for
itself in this community as being a
unit OF the federal service in which
the men are given good chances for
advancement The First Regiment is
also known to have an exceptionally
high standard of men and this fact
is resulting in many men from prom.
inent families enlistIng.
Enlistment is now open to all men
of military age and the also includes
men who have been drafted but who
have not been ordered up for exami.
nation. It is expected that many men
Of this city who have been drafted
but who have not as yet been called
for examination will take advantage
of the opportunity to enlist in one of
the most popular units of the federal
service.
The law in regard to tn g enlistment
Of men who havee been drafted under
the seleCtive draft law provides that
any young man Of the age Of 81 who
has been drafted may enlist in any
branch Of the service up to the time
that he Is called before a draft board
for examination. 1t provides howev-
er that once having been called for
examination and having appeared for
the same enlistment is not possible.
Yesterday was q banner day at the
local camp so far as the number Of
people on the grounds is concerned.
The fine weather was responsible for
so many people going out to the camp
to witness the festivities. The usual
program was carried out by the SOL
diers. There was q band concert,
dress parade and guard mount aud
the large crowd enjoyed every event
of the program. Eight letter compa-
lies were in the parade yesterday and
this was the largest number that has
been present since the local camp
was first pitched.
All preliminary preparations for
the breaking of camp have now been
completed and all that is necessary
for the moving Of the troops now Is
the final orders from the government
Colonel Osborn stated this morning
that everything is in readiness now
and that the men are only waiting.
for the official orders to break camp
He said that he hopes to fill up the
ranks considerably before the troops
depart and encourages young men to
30 to Clarksburg and enlist In the
First Regiment.

.FAIRNONT PEOPLE
IN AN AUTO WRECK
r. A. Johnson and Mrs. Floyd
Cole in Oakland Hospital
But Will Recover.

R. A. Johnston and Mrs. Floyd
Cole, both residep' Of this city, are
in the hospital at Oakland, Nd, Suf-
fering with serious injuries received
yesterday afternoon eighteen miles
from Oakland at the intersection of
the Oakland turnpike with the Ma
tional pike. Two children of Mr..
Johnston and one child of Mrs. Cole
VIC also bruised severely, while Mr..
Cole, who was driving, and Mrs.
Johnston, another occupant of the
car, were not injured to any extent.
The party was returning to Fair
mont from Deer Park, Nd, where
they had motored on Saturday to at
tend the Coal operators conference,
and in turning the sharp curve at Ac-
cident, the car ran into the bank and
turned over several times. Mrs. Cole
and M. Johnston were caught be-
Death the car while the others were
thrown clear of the wreck.
Harry B. Clark, another Fairmont-
er, who with a party of people were
on the pike. came on the scene short
ly after the accident and took the in
jure6 persons to the Oakland hospital
where they were given medical atten-
ton.
c. n. Jenkins and family, who had
also motOred to Deer Park and were
returning, were several miles in ad-
vance of the Cole car. Becoming un-
easy, as the Cole car had not been
seen for some time and knowing Mr..
Cole was comparatively inexperi-
.enced driver and did not know the
road, Mr.. Jenkins turned his car and
proceeded back the pike, where he
found the wreckage and obtained the
information that the Clark car had
conveyed the party back to Oakland.
He then proceeded to Oakland.
Mrs. Cole sustained badly frac-
tured leg, both bones being broken
above the ankle, one bone having pro-
truded through the flesh. She was
otnerWlSe cut ana bruised also.
Mr.. Johnston was badly cut and
bruised and for a time it was feared
had been injured internally. How
ever, information comes from the
hospital today to the effect that his
condition is satisfactory and that un-
less complications develop he will be
en- the road to recovery soon.
The three children who were occu-
pants of the car escaped with slight
cuts and bruises.
The car, which was comparative
" new Oldsmobile, was an almost
complete wreck, the body and top Of
the car being badly damaged.
Both Mr.. Cole and Mr.. Johnston
are employees of the Hutchinson Coal
company here, holding responsible
positions with that company.

Tentative Budget Was Pre-.
sented at Affairs Board
Meeting.
As CENTS FOR EXPENSES
Definite Announcement on
City Finances to be Made
Tomorrow.

Commissioner Of Finance J. Walter
Barnes tentatively presented the bud.
get for the ensuing fiscal year at the
regular meeting OF the Board Of Affairs
this morning
According to the budget as present.
ed this morning the assessed valuation
of the city is $1O412SO2. The exact
levy that the city must lay to meet
all current expenditures and expendi.
lures for the new Improvements has
not been definitely announced. The
Board of Affairs will meet tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock and will at that
time pass definitely on the budget that
has been in the course Of completion
for several weeks and make the def.
mite announcement as to what the
levy will be for the ensuing year.
AS a result the discussion this morn
ing as to what the probable levy
would be, 1t was the opinion Of the
members Of the Board Of Affairs that
with the increased valuation all ex.
penditures could be met with a levy
OF SO cents which would be an increase
of nine cents on the levy Of last year.
It Is very probable that So cents
will be levy laid in which event IS
cents would go for current epxendi.
lures and "a cents for the new I'm.
provements authorized by the recent
bond election.
The increase of nine cents has bean
made necessary because Of the high
cost Of labor, the high cost Of fuel
and other things that are necessary In
the operation of city affairs through.
out the year. An example Of the in.
creased cost Of fuel is shown BY the
fact that last year 1t cost the city
but $500 per month to provide fuel for
the city pumping station while this
year the monthly fuel bill reaches
above the $1,000 mark. Increased cost
of other materials has made 1t neces-
sary to levy nine cents which the
Board Of Affairs believes sufficient TO
care for the excess prices.
