Residents Wake to Realiza-
ton That They Were Rails
ing Human Stock Much
More Important Than
Attorneys and Berkshires.

THERE was a new spirit at the
Rockville Fair this year.
i Everyone who was there ad-
mits II.
For one thing. the residents Of
Montgomery county woke TO the
realization that they were raising
human stock much moro important
than Alderneys and Berkshires. that
grandma's iellies were forced to yicld
the palm to fruits and vegetables
canned by girls In their teens. and
that the most popular vehicle In the
State was the motor and not the
family cnrrY-all
What was back of this new spirit?
How did 1t happen that the sacred
precincts Of all county fairs should
be invaded by Better Babies con-
test or an exhibit by Camp Fire
Girls?
How 1t Happened.
This is how it came about. Just
about two years ago the women OF
Montgomery county decided that the
Rockville Fair was not making the
most of its opportunity as an educat-
ing factor. At this time. rs at no
other In the year. the people Of the
county could be reached In such
numbers that any provision for their
bettcrment as Hnits OF a great COM
munity would be certainly worth
while.
The twenty-four women's clubs
included under the Montgomery
County Federation OF Wonlen's
Clubs COMPRISE 1900 members. Each
one of these clubs sent q delegate
bearing the good will and desire OF
her organization to help boost the
fair.
With Mrs. william II. Holmes. Of
Rockville as chairman. this council
of twenty-four met to map out a
plan of campaign.
Over 200 Entries Examined.
First of all. many Of them had boon
inspired by Mrs. Anna Steese Rich
ardson's resume of the Better Babies
campaign at convention Of the
National Congress OF Mothers In this
city. Several contests. conducted
along the lines sketched by Mrs.
Richardson. were held in Washing
ton soon after her talk here. Why
should not the Rockville fair make a
Better Babies contest as much fea-
ture as are similar competitions at
some Of the State and county fairs in
the far South? Accordingly, the
Better Babies contest was deter
mined upon as one step In the re-
orga ton Of the fair.
Two tents were devoted to It. and
people took as much interest in
watching the babies weighed and ey-
am.ned BY the doctors and nurses
in charge as they had done in lock-
ing at the exhibits of cattle and
horses in previous years. From the
time that the fair opened on Tues
dav. the tents have done n rushing
business. More than 200 entries We're
examined by the standards adopted
for all cCntrsts of the kind.
There were three c.asSeS In the
contest. one Tor babies from one va
