Q SAYS Gen. It'll and

year of budget-making

budget. General Dawes quit in &C.
cordance with his understanding with
President Harding that he would guide
the budget bureau only through its
first year. General Dawes a a bank
to manage in Chicago.
General Lord has been in close touch
with the work of the budget bureau
for some time. He's %slxty-one years
old, a congressman, and began life as
n newspaper man. The Spanish-Ameri-
can val made him a major of volun-
teers. In 1901 he entered the regular
army as captain. He was awarded
d. S. NJ. for service as assistant to
the quartermaster general n as di-
rector of finance.
Uncle San has the wealthiest nation
in the world back of him, or he would
nave gone broke long ago. For up to
a year ago the weil-known and Justly
celebrated drunken sailor had nothing
az all on Uncle Sam when 1t came to
getting rid of the cash. In fact, Uncle
had h in%ebriated tar beat to a fraz-
zle. The Illuminated seaman had to
quit when his money was. gone. but
uncle kept right on spending.
But all that is changed. Uncle now
has a perfectly good budget system
and has to live up to 1t. He has to
tell in advance how much he is going
to spend and quit when it's gone and
strike a balance at the end of the
year.
There is much confusion in the
public mind as to the amount of the
savings effected by the budget bureau.
That is because of politics. But that
will all be changed. too. The truth
is that there isn't any politics about
a budget. It's business. The budget
bureau Is not concerned with any
political party. It's got to be efficient
and honest-and to the dickens with
politicsl
The big thing about the budget and
the budget system, and the budget
bureau, is the fact that for he first
time in the history of the United
States of America the President has
assumed the responsibility for the
spending of the executive departments.
General Dawes undoubtedly did a
good job. General Lord will be just as
Siucient. 80 VIII succeeding DuuBet
dlrectors-provided the President of
the United States-whoever he may
be-kceps his eye on this RESPONSE
bility. Here's the situation in a nut
shell, a General Dawes put it up to
congress:
ut cannot be too often reiterated
that this most important reformation
in the governmental business system
Is dependent upon the President Of the
United States himself, and upon his
continued assumption Of his respon-
sibil.ty as its business head. The min
ute he reiaxes his attitude of atten-
ton to this duty there win be felt the
natural pull of the departments and
establishments toward the old system
of complete Independence and de-
Capitalization. This is because of
lDws firmly embedded in human nature
which have existed since man began.
Budget laws or other Legislative enact
ments cannot change human nature
and while compelling the letter of CO.
operation cannot compel Its spirit

BABY SHOW WILL BE
 GREATEST YET SEEN

Few families ill the world can boast the size of that attained by the Northern Arizona State Fair associa- ton. One hundred and thirteen babies have been entered in the bet ter babies contest of the fair.
 "I have heard Of better babies con- tests and witnessed a good many, but I never have known of one equalling in size that of this years" prom inent fair official remarked yestcr- day.
 It's going to be some job to judge these little creatures, but the exam ination which is given to each baby is worth its weight in gold. The beauty contest IS all right, but it is a side issue compared with the re- suits of the medical examination which is given to each child.
 Through the splendid work of Miss Catherine Bcagin, R. N, manager in charge, and Alfred B. Carr, the su- pcrintendent of the baby show, this department will go down as a record of real achievement for the northern state institution The babies are en- tered from the entire north including Jerome, Copper, Mayer, Cottonwood, Ash Fork, Seligman, Kirkland, Clark dale, Miller Valley. Hillside, Corn villc, Simmons, Whipplc Barracks, Humboldt, Holbrook. Flagstaff.
 The baby pavilion has been put ill first-class condition for its little guests, where it is certain they will be given a royal reception.
 The examinations will begin at 9:5O Thursday morning. The prettiest baby contest will be held at the baby pavilion at 2:5O Saturday and awards will be made that afternoon at $50 in front of the graudstand. Elaborate prizes will be awarded, but as has been stated by the management the chief aim of the better babies con- test lies in the judging and the benefits which can be derived there from.

 The reputation of the AIarincllo Shop las steadily grown since it was established in Prescott a number of years ago by Miss Tcnchart, the first registered Marincllo practitioner in Arizona. Among the patrons of the institution have been many Phoenix women who come to Prescott for the summer, and who have frequently suggested the opening of shop at the capital. Such a branch has not been established before because of the lack of a desirable location.
 The Prescott shop will remain tho headquarters, the Phoenix shop re- ceiving the attention of the two pro- prietors alternately. Accomplished Marinello practitioners will be secured for each place, and the same stand ard of work will be obtainablc in Phoenix and Prescott

COUNTY AWARDS CONTRACT FOR
 VIH|PPLE R0AD
Paved Highway Between City and Hospital Probably Will Be Completed by End of the Year; Awards Made.

There will be a paved highway be- tween Prescott and Whipple Bar racks before the year is out, it is indicated by the contractors to whom the work of paving East Sheldon street has been let. The city of Pres colt awarded a contrac to pave the section between Cortez and the east ern city limits last August to Warren Brothers, and yesterday the board of supervisors awarded to the same firm the contract to pave the com pleting link from the city limits at Washington street to the limits of the military reservation. It has been indicated by the contractors that work on both projects will be begun as soon as possible, and that an ef- fort will be made to complete the entire project before the end of the year.
 The specifications of the contract let yesterday by the board conform to those of the city's contract. The county award calls for a 20-foot roadbed constructed with a 3H-inch black base and a 1H-inch surface of Warrenite bitulithic. The city con tract called for the same base and top dressing. The distance of the county project is approximately 1900 feet.
 With completion of this paving, a program of over years standing will be brought to a successful con clusion The project of putting in "a paved road between Prescott and the fort was first brought up by the chamber of commerce during the presidency of Dr. C. E. Yount in 1920, through suggestions emanating from the hospital authorities. The plan was espoused by the chamber of commerce, and was one of the ob- jects to which Dr. Yount devoted his attention Though the activities of the chamber of commerce in advocat- ing this road did not bear fruit until after Dr. Yount's presidency, much of the credit for initiating and help ing along the project belongs to the 1920 administration of Nne chamber.

YAVAPAI'S LAST
 VIRGIN TIMBER GOES UNDER AXE
Sales in Two Areas of Prescott Forest to Be Made Soon Timber Left Will All Be Re production Grown Since Pion- ger Days.

The last areas of uncut virgin tim Der on the Prescott forest will be cut over by lumberers who purchase two tracts of timber now being advertised for sale by the national forest service. The tracts are located in the Walker district, where 100000 feet of western yellow pine are for sale, and rear the present Norman sawmill in the Copper Basin country, where 5O0,0O0 feet are to be put to the ax.
 These two tracts are pockets of mature timber uncut in the early days when this entire district was cut over prior to the creation of the Prescott National forest about 20 years ago. In those days, timber users m the virgin 'Yavapai forests logged everywhere and took what timber they wanted, which was used chiefly for timbering mines and build ing log mine buildings and homes.
 Since that time, the timbered areas have produced new growths, but the two tracts now up for sale have never been touched.
 In these two sales, Forest Super visor H. B. Wales says, the forest service expects to secure complete utilization of the trees, under modern foresting requirements. Thus, stump age on all trees cut will not exceed a height of II inches from the ground and small limbs less than two inches in diameter together with culls will be used for cord-wood.
 Because of the excellent stand of reproduction on these areas, and be cause of possible damage from such insects as the destructive bark-bettle, brush remaining after timber and cord-wood are taken out will be burned. The bark-bectlc breeds ill trees that have been weakened, as by lightning, or in fclled timber. They emerge as adults in sufficient numbers to attack sound trees, i'll which they eat the living element just beneath the bark. When they have eaten a complete circle or several Of such rings around the inside bark, the tree Is killed. Burning of brush to a large extent prevents their breeding.
