satisfaction of all concerned. Friday
was another good day, and the crowd
that came, made the attendance q rec
ord breaker. Everyone present seemed
to enjoy themselves The free attrac-
tions were good and plentiful. The
race program was well hlled. In fact
no one could have asked for q better
crowd or for better entertainment.

ton Of officers took place In the after

one of the mOat successful in the history
Of the society. The cattle barns were
filed to OVERLOOKING and the exhibit
was larger than for many years previous
The floral hall was not so well filed
az in former years. yet many splendid
exhibits we're made. The hog show

breeders being afraid Of the hog cholera
which has been prevalent in all sections
of the county.

good. and following are the awards

The Baby Health Contest was one of
the leading features of the Audubon
fair a. usual and the proud mothers OF
prize winning babies went home hap.
pier than the winners Of blue ribbons
in any other department Of the fair.
We are sure OF this from the way the
glad news was told over the telephone
and talked among relatives and friends
a. soon as the contest was over. The
fathers too were highly elated and one
Of them said this winning Of prizes on
boys beats the capture Of blue ribbons
on horses all hollow"
I Thirty babies were scored among
them many fine specimens OF humanity.
DR.. Sophia Hinze Scott Of Des Moines
ono Of the most competent judges OF
i Human Live Stock" measured babies
Il for nine hours. She remarked ON the
fine mentality Of the chilnren and called
them Hne bunch Of babies. DIR. Scott
was assisted ON Thursday afternoon by
DR.. John Riley Of Extra. DR.. Riley has
i given considerable Study to the Baby
Health Problem and provedan unusually
conscientious, capable Judge.
The physicians answered many ques,
tons along the line OF dictetics which
wero asked by anxious mothers Herr
edity was freely discussed at contest
headquarters and proved an interesting
subject. The consensus Of opinion was
that BLOOD will tell" This seemed
to prove true. especially in the trans,
mission Of physical peculiAfities which
we're brought TO notice in the searching
examination given.
Although the majority Of people like
TO win . prize yet the thought of prize
winning was secondary, we are sure in
the minds Of the parents who brought
babies to this contest. The facts are
that most Of the mothers I'd not know
what the prizes were but inquired after
the decisions wore made. IL is the
Health Test" that h desired. Parents
want to know the defects ia the child
and are eager for remedies. Everybody
wants TO raise healthy babies and it i,
