II Perfect Babies Out of loo, 600.

The Woman s Home Companion has
been conducting a series of Better Ba-
bies contests throughout the United
States. Over 100,00 babies have been
examined and scored by physicians us
ing the standard score card. In its
August issue the Woman s Home Com
panion prints pictures of II babies in
various parts of the United States who
have scored perfect when judged by
the Better Babies standard score card.
These children represent the ideal
which every mother Of child would
like to realize, and yet the Better Ba-
bies bureau does not consider the find
ing of this group of perfect babies its
highest achievement. The work of
which the Better Babies bureau is most
proud is that of helping the mothers
of babies who are not perfect, to cor
rect all possible defects in physical de
velopment, diet, and general care, and
to give their babies a better opportuni-
ty to grow up into strong and healthy
men and women.

This is new scheme to get city peo-

calls for farms from people who wish
TO colonize and form small agricultural
clubs, where several medium priced
farms can be got in close proximity to
each other They are purchased and
these people work them and pay for
them on the instalment plan, the farms
are first bought by people who have
money thinking it a good Investment,
fruit, berries vegetables, etc, are the
crops that are raised, and small dalries
when the farms are large enough. Some
times these people are all of one ma
tionality ana like to own where it is
possible all the land in their little neigh
bUIhOOd.
We are taking options on small farms
within Il radius Of a few miles of Brat
tleboro where we can get them near
each other.
The fact that we take the options
does not always mean that they will
be purchased as some may be so high
in price that they win not purchase.
We would be glad to hear from any
one having a farm tOi sale.

An interesting find In the ruins of

an anarchist bomb explosion occurred
killing three men and a woman, was a
heavy hand printing press and several
cases of type, lot of literature" that
had apparently been printed on it and
paper ready for more printing
Inspector of Combustibles Egan of

There is no doubt in my mind that
there was not only one bomb in that
apartment, but that some one was
manufacturing them there We found
dry batteries, bundles Of wire all ready
to be connected up.
"Other inspectors found seven alarm
| clocks, sparkling machine and time
clock in the ruins of the fat. These
could have been used to set time linn
| 1t for the explosion of bombs if any
We're really made there"
| The /. w. VS. were quick to dis.
claim all connection with Caron. the
bomb maker, his methods and his as
4
retary of the i. W. W., said that so far
as she knew Caron had never tried TO
become member of the organization,
or at leash that no application had ever
reached her She admitted, however,
that it might have been 'sidetracked"
by other officials who thought him I'M
desirable. She met Caron some months
i ago. but said she was rather cool to
him. The /. ". WIS don't welcome
the anarchists, she said, because they
don't conform to l. W. w. rules in re-
| gard to the peaceful conduct of meet
fngs and such things.
Ettor Makes Denial.
Joseph ]. Ettor, one of the spokesman
for the Haywood organiZa ton, also
said Caron had never been a member
and was not associated in any way
with the l. w. W.
1.-The l. W. ". does not approve of
dynamiting or setting Off bombs" said
EttOr. We have been accused of VIC
lence. but the charges We're false. Ca

) tions at all can say for our mem
bers that the police are on a wild
goose chase if they are trying to show
that we were in plot to blow up the
Rockefellers or to prepare bombs to
use against anybody"
In spite of this attitude the police
say that the L. W. w. leaders are
Edrawing rather fine line in disefimi-
mating against Caron. They declare
, that when an agitation is on such as
= that of the unemployed last winter the
i organization is glad enough to claim
:, credit, but that when there is trouble
