While no definite arrangements have been made for the work in Bates county, it is probable that the County Court will take action when that body upon which the work is to be done county into road districts and select- ing superintendents to take charge of the work in their respective districts The Butler Weekly Times | To Begin Hog Cholera War. | Sedalia, Mo., July 27.—The Bur- | eau of Animal Industry of the United ‘States Department of Agriculture, i which has selected Pettis as one of ‘three counties in which to demon- | strate the possibility of eradicating | hog cholera in Missouri, has arranged |aseries of sixteen meetings in the ‘county beginning at Beaman tomor- row and ending at Flat Creek August 13.

Having standardized live stock, grain, fertilizers, machinery, every- thing used and needed on the farm, they are now starting to raise the standard of those,who in future years will use the farms and all that is necessary to successful farming, The baby is to be standardized by means of physical examination or scoring similar to that used in stan- dardizing live stock. Babies stripped to the skin are put through careful tests by physicians of recognized standing, and awarded prizes for good records. Babies who fail to qualify have a chance at the next con- test, for their parents are told just what is wrong with Mr. Baby and the trouble can be relieved or cured by hygienic living and simple medi- calcare. The parental pride aroused by such contests and the increased interest in child-life all over the country, make these competitive ex- aminations worth while to the entire nation and race. The examinations, called Better Babies Contests, are held at state and county fairs, also in connection with child welfare shows in big cities. Physicians are assisted by various or- The County Fairs are going after | {and bronze medals and certificates offered by the Better Babies Bureau of the Woman’s Home Companion.

Arnold, one of the pioneer citizens of the county, aged 82 years and 3 months, departed this life at his home in this city Saturday morn- ing, July 26, 1913 after only a brief illness. John E.
