EDWIN JAR VIS OF CALI FORNIA CREEK EXCELS IN DRESS CONTEST 2 Mrs. Edwin Jarvis of California Creek, Madison County, won first prize last week in Raleigh in the State Dress Contest. She was there attending the Woman's Short Course and in competition with women from all over the state of North Carolina. Mrs. Jarvts walked off with the first prize. It will be remembered that Mrs. JarVis won first prize in a sim ilar contest v recently in Madison County. This speaks well not only for Mrs. Jarvis, but also for Miss Frances Crafton, Home Demonstra tion Agent for Madison County. People of Madison County should take advantages offered them by the Home Demonstration Agent. It is only by cooperation on the part of the people that the services of Dem onstration agents can be made effec tive. The News-Record congratulates Mrs. Jarvis and Miss Crafton.

A letter dated July 23, 1929, from the Board gives some reasons why they object to the names being used, but at the same time they send us a list with permission to use it as we think best, and as we had promised to publish it, we can see no good reason for refusing to do so.
