(From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 8.—(Special.) ~Prizes in the better baby contest were awarded today at the state fair, Governor Morehead making the pre- sentations. There were sixteen' ties in the contests, necessitating the or- dering of that number more ‘})rc- “mium ribbons and the raising of a little more money to present to the youngsters. Mrs. C. L. LeMar, superintendent of the contest, and her assistant, Mrs, H, J, McBeth, have been very busy ywomen during the week and have succeeded in carrying on the contest in a very sutisfactory marfmer. To award fifty-six prizes among 212 ba- bies, each one of whom was “just the sweetest and most perfect baby, that ever\lived, bless its little heart,” ~was some feat, but they were backed up by the “figgers,” both of the ba- 'bies and those of the markings on the examinations, and so there could ‘be no kick coming.

Official dis- patches today make it certain that the allied trade drive will be met with the active competition of Germany While industrial Germany is reported as regarding lightly the threat of a trade war there are many evidences of the 'ghysical preparations being made to Resist it. + Large numbers of freight and pas- senger ships are being built, the re- ports say, and plans are being made on an immense scale to re-equip‘man- maximum efficiency.
