MASON TWINS IN
BETTER BABIES CONTEST

Over one hundred and forty
entries have been received in the
Better Babies Contest OF the
Montana State Fair, showing
that more interest has been
evoked in this novel event than
in any division of the great fall
exposition. While entries for
grain and stock have been COM
ing in early for the fair still the
entrants for the baby contest
outnumber those of either grain,
cattle or poultry. The Judging
methods in which good looks
play no part whatever considers
the mental and physical abilities
of the little ones and the method
is similar to that of the improved
stock judging.
Of the numerous entries from
all sections of the state Roman
has the honor Of entering the
first pair of twins, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dwight Mason having entered
the we'll known Mason twins,
Kathrine and June, who will be
just one year old at the time OF
the fair. These little girls will
compete for the county prize OF
$1,000 and for the $500 offered
by the Woman's Home Compan-
ion for the best girl baby in the
state of Montana. The Woman's
Home Companion who are lead
ers in the better baby movement
also give $500 for the best boy
baby in the state and there are
prizes for the best rural baby
and for the best city baby.

Beautiful Asters

The Pioneer was favored Tues
day afternoon with a boquet of
beautiful asters grown on the
Mcclellan ranch northeast of
town by Mrs. Mcclellan and
daughter.
These flowers were of unusual
ly brilliant colors, of many shades
and tints, and no place or coun-
try could produce them of finer
color or beauty. Last year they
raised some of the same variety
and were then thought to be as
fine as could be found but this
year are more beautiful than
ever.

County Surveyor James M.
Bonner will not design any
bridges today. Even should the
county commissioners tell him to
proceed with plans for a double
arched bridge across the Rattle
snake at Cedar street, James
would refuse to adjust a r.
square. James will take this
day off to celebrate. He is en-
titled to it, too, because a fine
girl baby, actual weight 10
pounds, arrived at his home on
the south side early last evening.
