Long ago, statisticians figured out the earning capacity of each wee Cit izen until ho came of age. i'ho law has tried to settle the question by awarding certain damages to par ents of children killed or injured in accidents. But only recently have scientists realized that the real val ue of a baby depends entirely upon tho atart it gets in life. A ba!>y la worth to itself and the race much or little In proportion to the work ing power of the body, founded on good physical proportions, muscular and mental development, and the regular operation of its various func tions. Tho better start it gets dur ing tho first three years of its life, the more valuable to itself and the nation does the child become with advancing years. Started wrong, it is handicapped thru no fault of Its own and may become a burden to society and the state. To prevent this catastrophe, gov ernment ? national, state and muni cipal? Is giving much time to the consideration of child welfare. By preventive and remedial measures, adopted while the child is still/ in its Infancy, the small body is devel oped to its full powers, and the race as well as the individual child pro fits. The very latest and one of tho most popular forms of child welfare work is tho Better Babies contest which has taken root wherever the thinking men and women are found. It is practical because it rouses pa rental pride, creates a desire to study child liffc, fine! helps hunia.nl ty by teaching each parent to help himself. The Better Babies Contest con sists of a competitive examination of children three years of age or un der, by physicians, with prizes for the' high scoring babies. The en tries are made as in a stock show and measured by practically same standards or physical perfection, with added 'tests for mental develop ment. Mere beauty does not count, but the intrinsic value of the baby as ai human machine, well propor tioned. properly nourished and de veloped, does. Parents are givenprizes for Heal thy offspring, and also score cards showing .the child's exact physical j ! condition. This record can be kept from year to year and not only is the parental pride aroused and an interest in child-study created, but the child itself, seeing how its body and mind are respected by its par onts, soon learns to care fojr both and to study itself intelligently. What tho report card is as a stimu alnt to the student, this score card ip to the growing child as an impetus to right living. Many, states have organized this work at their state fairs, including Oregon, Washington, Oklahoma, Ne braska, Iowa, Minnesota, Louisiana, Wyoming Oho, Montana, Illinois and Michigan. Hundreds of county fairs and city fairs are introducing it not only as an attraction which is sure to increase Kate receipts? for every one loves h baby ? but as a meann to arouso interest in child welfare In tho community. Korshaw County will hold i!s first contest at Fair Oronnds on Nor cm* her 13th. when town and country ba hies will compete for bronze medals and certificates offered by tho Hot ter Babies Bureau, of tho Woman'H Home Companion. $3.4"> all Leather Suit Cases, $2.05 strapped Traveling Trunks, $9.00 9x12 Brussels Druggets. $7.90 2 inch post Iron Beds.
