Design For
A City Flag

Some time ago The West Vir.
ginian announced that it would give
a prize OF $40 for the best design
for a city Gag for Fairmont, the
contest to close September /. A
number OF designs have been sub
mitted but the contest Is still wide
open, and every one who has a de.
sign in mind should send II in.
The idea Is the big thing, and
when the prize winning design is
selected a rough sketch will have
just as good a chance as the most
finished drawing. Get busy right
away. Ten dollars will buy two
War Savings stamps and Q couple
OF Thrift stamps, and all you have
to do to get It is little clever
