Wednesday-, November 30, 1927, THE DECATUR I PAGE SEVltf. Four-H Champions Are Products of Mid-West Kansas, Iowa and Wisconsin Produces Winners in the Most Important Farm "Crops" at International. Chicago, Nov. 30-- (A.P.)--The mid- west echoed peans of praise today for three new champions of the National Four-H Club boys and girls congress, homeward bound after winning honors from a big field. Back to Kansas, 15-year old Marie 'Antrim of Klngman takes her title as the nation's healthiest girl.

Back to Iowa goes J. Fred Christen- 18, of College Springs, with his crown as the healthiest boy.

These three champions were chosen from state titleholders last night as the chief event of the annual Four-H Club Congress.

CROWN RESTS LIGHTLY. The crown of America's healthiest girl rests lightly on the brow of shy Marie Antrim, whose bewilderment at the championship was equal- led only by her anxiety to escape the flashlights of photographers.

Guy Antrim, have six other children, is blue-eyed, bobbed, and pretty. But she could not understand Just what had won for her. "I have no special diet," she said. "I eat all sorts of things. But I like vegetables most, and eat meat only occasionally." She likes sports, plays tennis, baseball and croquet, takes some exercises, she says, but follows no set rules.

She Is a sophomore in the Klngman High school. REGULAR BOY. Fred Christensen is a regular American boy. He graduated from the College Springs High school last epring after an excellent scholastic record. He won his letter at football, and captained the basketball team.
