I OErriNB AWAY FROM Initio liMTrn iirriTii raw muiii mcAin 1 THE BED, AND SUCH Better Babies Contest to Teach Mothers That Days of Midwives Tomfoolery Is Over-rTo Be Treat for Kinstonians From time immemorial the farmer has been studying ways and means to better the live stock on his farm by putting -what he has learned into practice, has secured splendid results In making the. stock bigger, better, healthier and therefore, more pro ductive of that which is of benefit to mankind. Only ' recently, however, have mothers awakened to the fact that "the -proper feeding and care of babies is of far more importance than the proper care and feeding of brutes, and babies, up to recent years, were reared on the advice of superstitious ' grannies, with no system at all and in a haphazard fashion that no far mer would dare ' pursue with the stock under his care for fear of nev r raising them. We have awakened at . last, bowr w, to the' fact that tie young of the human species is of more impor tance and needs just as careful and scientific attention as the young of , rt anxious to learn all about the "utter in order to make their chil- in Dobrudja Sweep Bulgari Teutons Admit "Failure ! to of Considerable Importance heavy blows of the Russo- an official statement does not reports that . the Bulgars are domestic animals, and mothers now dren healthy and productive of the best of which they aire capable. An important aid to this good work is the Better Babies contest, which is to toe held during the Fair in Octo ber, according to the rules of the Woman's Home Companion, which is to furnish medals for the prize ba bies and certificates for all babies entered in the contest. The entries will begin on October 9, and end Oc tober 18, instead of on the 21st, as before stated. There will be no charge nor entrance fee, and all mo thers who have babies from six months to four year sold are urged to enter them and secure the benefits accruing from this contest to both mothers and babies.

GOING ON IN .OTHER TOWNS AND COUNTIE OF EASTEN CAROLINA A lot of advertising must be done to bring the right, kind of settlers to this section, says C. S, King, man ager of a ranch in Beaufort county, and one of quite a few Middle West erners who havs located there. Why there are people in the Central States who actually believe the soil here is poor, and that only cotton and tobac co can be raised, Mr. King says. Mr. King suggests organizations of land owners and advertising. The New Bern Sun-Journal says that a resident of the Caswell sec tion, passing through that city Thurs day, had 31 suitcases of whisky, the total quantity being estimated at ;50 quarts. It is thought that the bulk of he liquor was brought on a sleeper from Norfolk and transferred to a day coach at New Bern. The person came on through unmolested by the police, who had not gotten wind of the 'perambulating barroom.' 11 Cotton sold high here Friday. Re ceipts were heavy.
