for a governor of Tarheelia to say
any such thing, for our neighbor to

rapidity during recent years, while
we have cot. North Carolina is

BETTER BABIES CONTEST.

State wide campaign for better ba-

able prizes. !
Final plans and arrangements
have just been made for a State
wide Better Babies Health Contest

will be given mental test, then
weighed and measured and given
a through physical examination by
a corps of the best specialists on
children in the State. At every ex
animation the child will be graded
or scored, the total score for per-
fe baby being 100.
While the State Fair association
the Woman's Clubs, the Womans
Home Companion and others have
contributed somewhere between
$500 and $500 for prizes for the
best babies, it is pointed out that by
far the greatest value of the contest
will be in having the experts poin
out to the mothers any defects they
may find in the babies, and tell then
how to remedy them.
There is no entry fee or charg'

MARS HILL

Trusting that the editor will be !,
so kind as to print this, l shall en-
deavor to give my friends some
news from Mars Hill.
Mars Hill is beautifully situated
in the heart of the mountains of
Madison county, where cool fresh
air is abundant. 1t is surrounded
by the most beautiful scenery in
this part of the State, and is one of
the most attractive situations in
this county.
One of the most attractive fea-
lures of Mars Hill is it's school. Sit
uated in the center of town is the
Mars Hill College, one of the best
institutions of the State. 1t was
founded in 1859 and is well-known
all over the South.
The school opened with the largest
NUMBER of students that it has
known in all its history, and the
condition are such that this session
will be the best Mars Hill has wit
messed since it's establishment. The
faculty is strong, consisting of
twelve of the best trained teachers
of the South, and they are prepared
to teach all the different phases of
all departments of education.
The school has a large library
and four strong literary societies
the Philomathean and Euthalian
societies being for young men, and
the Clio and Nonpareil for the girls
