The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1922-08-18

The second local boy to file ap-
plication for entrance to The West
Virginian's male beauty contest
was none other than James Moore.
Jim was SO anxious to get into the
contest that he couldn't wait for
daylight to come. so he had spe,
cial messenger bring his applica-
ton to the office in the wee small
hours, this morning.
George Tucker, the staff artist,
did everything in his power to
give Jim a show in the race, for
the above picture although like
ness, is far better looking than the
Original.
James thinks that The West Vir-
ginia -nreaders will chose him be
cause he is 100 per cent West Vir-
gilman. He said to the staff cor
respondent yesterday, Il admit that
many people think that I'm not as
handsomely built as Mr.. Holbert,
but think they will give me credit
for my loyalty to the home state.
I attended West Virginia Univer-
sity for two full years and father
says that 1 will continue my course
there il it takes me nine years to
finish.
81 am a member OF the Sigma
Phi Epsilon Fraternity, and the
boys at the house say that I am
the best locker in school l am
a sportsman pure and simple.
love athletics and have been quite
successful as a fisherman. Taking
all in all, I think that I have just
as much claim on the title as any
one in the city"
MIR. Moore is everything he says
he is and more. He is a knock
out with the female OF the species
and his remarkable altitude puts
him up with the most outstanding
men in the county.
