Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 68, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 March 1916 — Alice Bell English Took First Prize at Baby Show. [ARTICLE]

Alice Bell English Took First Prize at Baby Show.

- Alice Bell English is the prettiest, shapliest and brightest 'baby in Lafayette between the ages of 18 and 24 months. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter English and the grandaughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. C. English and Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Babcock. The awards were made last Saturday and pretty little Alice Bell was given the grade of 98 per cent, which is just about as near perfect as can be. Only one baby in the whole show graded higher and its grade was 98 1-3 per cent. If Alice Bell could have spent a few more days on Grandpa Jim’s farm she would have gained a quarter of a pound which £he judges said was all that was necessary to make her the sweepstakes baby of the whole show. But being the best in her class was a lot of honor and the parents brought her to Rensselaer Sunday to spend the day with the proud grandparents. Those who know Alice BelL* feel that the honors conferred on her are well bestowed.
