 The Corbin-Fafnir game was in- teresting and well-played from the beginning to end and the winner was in doubt at all times. Zembko and Gray were about even in their pitSHlH6 clIoi lS nliliC tlic HAtS nhu misplays O. each team were also very evenly divided.
 The Corbin team scored first, this being in the second inning. Heinz mann opened the frame by getting a one base blow. He was advanced a base when Bates executed a sacri- flee and scored on Wright's double. The losers added two to their tc- tai in the third.

CAST in LAST ELECTION
Of the Number Hoover Received
21,429,1O9 and Smith Received
A Total of 15,005,497

Of the 36,79S,G69 votes cast in the
November election, the largest num-
Der in the history of the nation, Her.
bert Hoover received 21,429,109 and
Alfred E. Smith received 15,005, 497.
The Republican candidates plural
ity over that of his Democratic oppo-
nent was 6,423,612, on the basis of
these figures gathered by The Asso-
ciated Press from the election officials
of the 48 states.
Candidates of minor parties receiv-
ed the 364,063 votes aside from those
for Hoover and Smith, as follows.
Thomas, Socialist, 267,S35; Foster,

Labor, 21,181; Varney, Prohibition,
20,1O1; Webb, Farmer-Labor, 6,391;
scattered, 327.
Failed to Eclipse Coolidge.
Despite his large plurality, Mr..
Hoover failed by 914,901 votes to
equal the plurality of 7,338,513 given
Calvin Coolidge over John w. Davis
in 1924, but at that time the LaFol-
lette-Wheeler Independent ticket re-
ceived 4,S22,856 votes. In that year
the Republican vote was 15,725,016.
While the Republicans carried 81
states in 1924, they garnered 40 in the

6,628,994 the 8,386,503 polled in 1924
by Davis.
Big Increase in South.
The total November vote exceeded
by 7,7O7,252 the total of 29,091, All

crease was accounted for in the south
ern states where approximately 331a
per cent more votes were cast. The
increase for the nation as whole
was slightly above rs per cent.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME AND
FAMILY FORCED TO FLEE
Bloomington Resident Suffers
$500 Loss AS a Result

The home of Mrs. Wilson Kennel at
Bloomington, Garrett county, was de-
stroyed by fire early Sunday morning,
resultant from an overheated cook
stove which communicated the fire to
the woodwork in the structure. Mrs.
Kennels son-in-law, Scott Elliott,
arose at $50 and kindled the fire in
the stove and returned to his bed to be
awakened an hour later by the noise
of the cracking flames. He aroused
his wife, two children and Mrs. Ken
nell, all fleeing in their nightcloth-
ing in the almost zero weather to the
home of neighbor.
The house, two-story frame struc-
ture, was almost completely consumed
with all its contents. Bonds valued
at $700 and $42 in cash were also con-
sumed. The house was the property
of the Davis Coal and Coke Company.
Mr.. Elliott places the loss sustained
at $500 with no insurance. He is an
employee of the Marstellar Coal Com
pany at Hampshire, W. Va, located
just across the river from Blooming
ton.
Piedmont and Westernport fire COM
panies responded to the alarm, but
due to the absence Of fire hydrants at

ment.

Checks in full for all awards at the

Inasmuch as the Fair was carried

Electric Bulbs Stolen from Curb
Christmas Trees.

Indignation was expressed upon
several occasions within the past week
by Oakland business men when it was
found that approximately seventy
five colored electric light bulbs had
been stolen from the curb Christmas
trees during the time by unknown
thieves.
Each succeeding morning since the
trees were placed along the streets
several bulbs were missing from var
ious trees, and in one or two instances
the trees were entirely stripped of
the bulbs, while on other trees two or
three bulbs were left intact. 1t is
assumed that the thieves drive up in
cars and after parking alongside the
trees the bulbs are purloned by merely
lowering a window in the vehicle and
unscrewing them from the sockets.
Policeman Nethkin said yesterday
that he is pretty we'll satisfied in his
own mind who the guilty parties are,
both of them being young men of re-
spectacle parents and living within
mile or two of town.
Last year two young men were ar
rested and fined after they had been
caught breaking the lights on the
trees.
"No possible reason other than
plain thieving could be the motive of
such actions" one merchant said. "To
my mind this is one of the lowest
and meanest things one could do and
if the guilty party or parties are APP
pretended they should be punished to
the limit of the law"

NORTHWESTERN TURNPIKE
TO BE FINISHED IN 1929
ROmney Review Predicts Recon-
struction of Highway In Year

1t is gratifying news that the link
in the Northwestern Turnpike between
Red House, Garrett county, and Cor
mania, w. Va, will be completed next
year. That appears to be the very
satisfactory result of the recent meet
ing between the Baltimore Association
of Commerce and about sixty repre-
sentatives of cities and towns in West
Virginia, Ohio ard Western Maryland
Out of the discussion came the
statement by Road Commissioner
Mackell, of Maryland, that if the leg
islature made the usual biennial APP
preparation there would be enough
money available to complete the work
in two years; that if someone would
advance the money all the work could
be done next year, the funds advanced
to be repaid by Maryland out of the
second years appropriation.
No one doubts that the legislature
of West Virginia will authorize the
oldlC hOduS W eANN <1liSS
the necessary money, or that if it fails
to do SO the money can be procured
in the shape of loans from banks in
cities and towns along the turnpike
from Winchester to Parkersburg.
1t is safe, therefore, to predict that
one year from now this important
highway will be completely recon-
structed and be the main automobile
thoroughfare between Washington,
Baltimore and New York on the east
and the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys
on the west.
Even better than that the Eastern
Panhandle counties will be brought
into close contact and relationship
with Northern and Central West Vir-
ginia-a contamination devoutly to be
wished.-Romney Review.

Ice Causing Numerous Wrecks

Ice on the Crellin-O Oakland highway,
Just west of town at what is known
as Sports Inn, has been the cause
of numerous wrecks during the past
few days, damaging all the cars in

pants a fright.
Wheels have been torn off in sew

cars otherwise damaged when they
skidded into the bank or ditch along
side the roadway. Following wreck
