CAN CITY BABIES
COMP TO THOSE
REAH-1 IN COUNTY

What part Of Wayne county reara
the best babies?
Mothers will receive an answer to
the question by the middle of October
and a week later they will know also,
whether the best babies in the county
pitted against the winners Of the city
contest, can hold their own.
Registrations have come in which
makes the county baby contest repre-
sentative of every section. Each
township Of the 10 has at least one
baby entered; some boast four or five
infants near enough to the parents
idea OF perfection to compete; and the
general average when the contest
closes with Monday mornings mail, Is
expected to be no less than four to a
township.
This morning, Miss Mary Kennedy,
visiting nurse, discovered that nearly
all of the babies entered in the county
contest are farm babies. This makes
the contest more interesting from
Richmond's standpoint, but the alb
sence of babies from other towns may
be a disappointme to mothers of the
farm babies. For instance, mother
in Jefferson township would like to
know whether her baby can beat one
from Hagerstown.
The contest is expected to be Of
interest to doctors who would learn
from it's results whether the advanced
household facilities for rearing an IN
FAINT in the city or the open air, fresh
milk and plentiful supplies Of the farm
have the most beneficial effects.

FOX DECLARES
LAW IS UNJUST
IN WIDOWS CASE

Although he conformed with the
law, Judge Fox declared today that
the decision of the Indiana Supreme
court is wrong which holds that in
case a widow accepts the terms Of a
will made by her husband instead of
claiming her share under law, she re.
leases her right to her husbands one
half interest which was held jointly
by husband and wife unless the will
gives it to her. BY virtue Of the
joint deed, the husbands half Of tho
property would otherwise fall to her.
A case of this kind came up In the
circuit court this morning In a par.
tttion suit to have the property of
Sarah Harlan, who died Feb. IS. sold
so the heirs could receive their
proper shares OF the estate. BY ac.
cepting the terms Of the will left by
her husband who died. March 1910,
Mrs. Harlan was granted only life
interest in her husbands half of
forty ace farm near Bethel while she
would have received clear title to 1t
IL she had taken her share OF the
estate under the law.
Milton Harlan was appointed com.
missioner to sell the real estate. He
Lewis has been appointed administra-
tor for two minor heirs. Ina and How

Golf Club. Organization has been per-
fected within the past few days, and
tho committees are now hard at work
whipping the new proposition into
shape
y handsome property has been ac-
CURED, by the club just beyond the
northern limits of the city. The home
site is beautifully situated on fine
elevation comma ndng a splendid view
OF the outlying country. One of the
chief attractions is the magnificent
grove. in the center of which the club
house Will he located. The rrees COM
prlsing the grove are of unusual size
and variety, and give distinctive
charm TO the place
The land has been pronounced by
experts as admirably suited to golf
construction OF the highest character.
ana the golfers of Richmond are much
having another handsome eighteen
hole course
~ high tableland in close proximity
10 the clubhouse furnishes adequate
space for tennis courts. and at the
same time affords the devotees of this
sport the always-coveted uniformity of
background
From the standpoint of transporta-
ton, the club could hardly have been
more fortunate. as the new property Is
connected with the heart of the city
by the rails of both the Virginia Rail-
way and Power Company and the Rich
mond and Chesapeake Bay Railway
Company. Two splendid highways
namely. the Hermitage Road and the
Brook Road. between which along the
Hiliiard Road, the property in general
is located. furnish easy and pleasant
access 10 automobiliStS.
For the past six months the club has
oeen compelled to keep it's membership
ilst closed. the clubs present quarters
oelng entirely inadequate to properly
take care of any addition to its present
membership of Approximately $50 A
canvass OF the members within the past
rev days develops that the club will
take practically its entire membership
TO the new location. With its ex-
banded facilities however, it is highly
probable that the club will increase it's
limit OF membership. thus anording an
additional several hundred tired busi-
ness men opportunity TO enjoy the
recreations and charms OF country club
life.
