Aliit'rii.eu Oiler Frite Tor Boys Win Can Grow Potatoes Bales ot Contest. ' At a special meeting held Tuesday night uf last week the board of alder men dtecussed the question of start ing a "potato contest" among the boys of the city and Anally decided to ap propriate $20 in cash to start a prize list - Progressive business- men. will be asked to help increase this prize list, and an attractive lot of prizes will be offered. .It was pointed out that there is enough vacant land in the town of Lexing ton to grow enough potatoes, beans, etc.', to supply' the entire city of Lex ington wiahi what they need for food. bread and meat excepted. Of course there is not land enough to grow corn and wheat enough to "bread" the town, nor space enough for cattle and hogs sufficient unto the needs of the town, but as for '"garden truck," Lex ington could feed herself, if all or tne unused land was put to use. PUT THE BOY TO WORK It was pointed out, too, that the boys of Lexington need someHh-ing to do. Too many of them bang around restaurants and pool rooms, smoking cigarettes and hearing vile stories. The growing of potatoes will give the growing boy some clean, health-giv ing, Interesting work to do and every tether and every mother in town, should co-operate with the board In this fine movement.' NO TIME TO LOSE. Every boy wlho Is Interested in the work should not delay about getting busy. Right now is the time to pre pare the land and get ready for busi ness. Below Is printed an article from Mr. J. B. SteeleTcounty farmers' agent, telling just how to prepare the land, how to fertilize and plant the pota toes. He will be glad to give lull In struction as to caring for the potatoes, killing the bugs, etc., as needed and will do all in his power td help -make the contest a success. VACANT LOTS WANTED. As will be noted from -the rules of the contest, given below, it is required that not less than 2,000 square feet be planted by each contestant This is equal to a lot 40 feet, wide and 50 feet long, This Is about one twentieth of an acre. ?

A Big Event Scheduled for April 22, 28 aa4 SiWhat Is a "Better .Babyr The entire country is talking Better Babies. Of course there are babies and ba bies, some better than others, but the phrase Better, Babies,-as representing a big idea for race betterment was coined only a. little 'more than a year ago. - So long as there are babies, there will be competition among parents as to the good points of their respective children. For many years, the compe tition reached a climax in , what was known as baby-shows. But after all, the judges decided for this baby or that, purely as a matter of personal taste, and there are enough ibrands of Infantile prettlness to drive judges wild with doubt and Indecision. Nev er were parents, satisfied with the de cisions rendered.; Out of this dissatisfaction grew what is known as the Better Babies Contest. It is the scientific examina tion and comparison of babies through a series of mental and physical tests. There can (be no .favoritism, because eacirbaby Is-tested by the aid of. a score -card, covering the entire men tal and, physical 'development, from t'he sturdineBS and straifflitness ot the limbs to the ability' to grasp objects in his ch'ubby hands. Not only does the Better Babies Contest decide who's who among the babies entered for examination, but it is the means -of bringing parents and physicians together for conferences on child hygiene wmdoh are bound to Im prove the general health of the com munity. A healthy baby means a bright pupil for the local1 schools. A bright healtlhy . pupil in the--school room means a normal, self-respectittS and desirable citizen in the factory, store or office- The world Is just beginning to real ize that the foundation of national health and greatness la laid in the care given each baby born into the home. That is wlhy the Better Babies Contest to be held ill -Lexington . on April 22, 23 and 24 at Civic League Rest Rooms is one of the most impor tant events of the year. . Parents are alive to the opportunities which the contest offerv-for the scientific exam ination of .their children and hecon farenees wltto physicians on child Jtte and development;- t v v"?- ; , In fact narents thtok more of what can be learned at ie Better Babies Contest for the good of their children, than- of the prizes, but Just to make It more interesting, prizes are ottered;;.

The 'board of aldermen has decided bo have the city's annual Clean Up Week during the second -week In April, beginning on Monday, April 12; and lasting six full days. On those days every citizen will be expected to do his duty toward mak ing Lexington a clean, healthy place to live in. The accumulated filth of the wluter should be raked out ot cel lars, woodhouses, chicken, houses and from other hiding places and piled on the street. The city will arrange for teams to carry away the rubbish col lected. During the week following the po lice department will have every sec tion of the city closely Inspected and tJ-ose citizens who have cleaned up properly will be commended. Those Provisions of the Jfew Law That Goes Into Effect Tomorrow It Has Teeth. Inasmuch as the new liquor law igoes into full force and effect tomor row, perhaps it would be well to In form the thirsty as to the provisions, of said law, so that none may err therein. Solicitor Spruill of the re corder's court, has made up his mind to enforce flhat law to the last letter and it is up to those who "must" have their booze to learn just how they can get It and still not run afoul of the law. The new law Is entitled "An Act to Restrict the Receipt and Use of Intox icating Liquors" and the parts of it that will make interesting reading to many local citizens are' given below. Other sections, equally important to druggists, physicians, etc., are omit ted. The law reads: who have failed to do their duty will : Tne General Assembly of North Caro receive the attention necessary and! llna do enact: in such cases provided. Section 1.
