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.

We have heard promise after prom

ation can be overcome if the people
will get right down to business.

ommunity and' must deveiloo the

bought at an expense of $176.00,
leaving a balance for profit $237.60.

burden.

some of our men take notice.
Madison County has about 5000
farms. If half this number would get
to producing eggs' and cream on the
same basis that Mrs. Woody and Mrs.
Dennis have, there would be brought

successful in getting the list
from the State Board of
Health. We suggested pub
lishing this list to the lady in
charge here and she thought it
would be a fine thing to do so,
but it seiems that she was not a
ware of a ruling that the State
Board of Health has with'ref-
1
ference to this matter. 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. The list
