have been forced to miss the
issue, proximity to the splendid
ly equipped machine shop of the

chinists, making possible the
manufacture Of machine parts
that could be gotten out OF stock
no nearer than Northern Michi-
gan.
The Herald therefore feels a
lively sense of gratitude to Mr..

Cotton Manufacturing Statistics

The Cotton Manufacturers of
the United States consumed
last year little over five million
bales OF cotton, If they could be
kept busy, that is every spindle
running, the present year, they
would probably consume two
million bales more. Every user
of cotton goods can help, wheth-
er they are bought for wearing
apparel or for cotton bags, or for
household use. In helping the
cotton manufacturer you help
the farmer sell his cotton and
help the manufacturer keep his
help employed, and there are
over three hundred and fifty
thousand people engaged in the
cotton mills, to say nothing of
the thousands of other people that
are employed directly and in
directly in aiding the manufac-
turers Ten million people are
also directly and indirectly de-
pendent upon the cotton mills
for support. The American Cot
ton Manufacturers make every
thing that is suitable for wearing
apparel for men and women, and
every character of cloth for
household use,

BOOKS ARE WANTED
AT the Sanatorium Books are Boon
Companions

There is no place where a
good book is more appreciated
than at the State Sanatorium for
the Treatment Of tuberculosis.
There the patients have nothing
to do but to get well and every
thing bringing cheer, a new
vision or an uplifting thought in
to their lives is a direct aid in
the process. To those who are
not confined to their beds, read
ing is a wholesome entertainment
and speeds many a heavytoOted
moment on. Some of the patti
ents learn there to read for their
first time and eagerly take this
opportunity t. learn to read and
write while they gain in weight
and strength.
A good library at the Sanato-
rum would in no wise fail in the
true mission Of a library. Its
educatlve, entertaining and in
spring Offices would be entered
INTO and appreciated. AS 4
source Of comfort, hope and
light its influences would be as
the Wilderness Of the sea.
This need of the Sanatorium
opens up a splendid opportunity
t. individuals, societies, clubs,
orders and other organizations to
make donations either in books,
magazines, daily and weekly
papers. or iii other equipment
for a good up to-date reading
room Those having good books
OF fiction, Of verse, biography
or copies of the standard writer's
that they have read, might as
we'll pack them up and send to
the Sanatorium instead of pack
ing them away to become dust
eaten and mouldy for lack Of use
and with age. Books have their
season like other things. Don't
wait till they have lost their
SAVIOR and have become stale to
send them. Let theirs be timely
messages.

THREE BABIES SCORED PERFECT
Better Babies Contest Success
at State Fair

The second annual Babies
Contest held at the State Fair
was in all points a great success.
The examinations showed three
l00 per cent babies. OF the
three babies scoring perfect,
Joseph Samuel Womble, of
Carthage, age "a months, was
voted by Judges as the best baby,
the State Champion Better Baby
for 1914. To him was awarded
the gold medal offered by the
Woman's Home Companion.
The other champion, who receiv-
ed bronze medals, are, according
to divisions
Champion city girl, Annie
Specs Coppege, Raleigh, Score
1905.
Champion city boy, Jim Henry
Vernon, Burlnpton. Score 99Ee.
Champion raral girl, Eleanor
Randolph Miller, Oriental, Score
lOOtl.
Champion rural boy, Edward
Joseph McCahill, l'rankIinton.
Score 800.
As gratifying as the contest as
a whole proved To be to the pro
moter3. they regard as OF special
value the following points III
evidence. A keener and more
assured interest on the part Of
the parents, deeper appreciation
Of the meaning Of the Better
Baby movement, and the higher
score of the average baby. As
an example Of this, the prize
winner baby of this year scored
only 96 last year, bat the mother
through the contest last year
learned the standard for a per

knowledge. Another mother
whose baby last year won a
prize entered another prize win
