You will notice that VIM. Samp-
son and Jno. Kennedy are the sweep
stake babies, tying on the highest
score. Instead of drawing cuts on
the prize the parents preferred to
divide on money and each hold on
90 the honor of being first.
The girls averaged much higher
than the boys in this contest and /
believe this has been true of most
contests in the state although an oc-
casional boy carries off the sweep
stakes. There were large number
of high score in both classes of girls
and it took considerable comparison
to select the winners among so many
babies. DR.. Sherbon said repeatedly
that this was the best average
bunch of babies that she had meas
ured at Audubon contests and this
is her third trip to the Audubon fair.
She also said that she scored closer
than in any previous contest as she
was sure that this was desired by
parents and fair management. II is
only by close scoring that defects
are nQfipad and ramadiah
II may be interesting to many to
know that DR.. Sherbon has recently
returned from San Francisco where
she assisted Miss Lathrop of the Fed
eral Bureau in scoring exposition
babies. She has accepted position
under the Federal Bureau to test the
health of babies in the middle west
She will begin this work the first of
January.
DIR. Sherbon says she owes this APP
pointment TO the work that has been
done for Iowa babies in the past four
years and that the whole United
States is watching the development
of Child Welfare in Iowa.
On the last afternoon of the Baby
Contest at the fair group of repre-
sentative women consisting of del
egates from every town and township
in Audubon county. gathered in the
contest quarters and organized the
Audubon County Child Welfare AS
ISOLATION with Mrs. E. B. Thomas.

Fl. Jacobsen of Kimballton, Secretary

This association will study the

ty and will endeavor to stimulate in
terest in child welfare in each town

and town meetings at school houses
and other places easy of access that

the problems of their own commun-
ity.
