tub. There Is not truth to the old
superstition that much bathing will
weaken" the child. Give the baby,
too, several sponge baths in addi-
ton to his regular tub bath on
warm days. Lukewarm water is
more refreshing for this purpose
than cold water. Cold water only
raises the body temperature so that
it is actually higher after the bath
than it was before.
The child will guage the temper
allure of the water pretty well if
he remains in the bath or pool or
under the hose, the chances are the
water is fairly warm and will not
hurt him. Keep him active while
he is in the lake or a cold stream,
and take him out when he begins to
shiver. Never, of course, force him
into the water when he cries and
is frightened!
On very warm days, take the chill
dren out of the midday sun. They
will get plenty of sunshine indirect
ly while they are playing in the
shade. Children become SO alb
sorbed in thier play that they Of
ten do not notice they are becom-
ing over-heated. Move their toys
into the shade for them. Do not
give the sun-bath near midday in
the summertime, and never insist
on the sunbath if the child COM
plains that he is uncomfortable. He
is telling you, then, that the rays
are too strong, and if he remains
in them, he may get badly burned.
Read aloud to the children-it
will keep them inactive and it will
have a remarkably soothing, cool
ing effect on mother, too! Encour-
age them to play quietly with dolls,
books, scissors, blocks, games,
washing" clothes. If they go un-
supervised to public Fairgrounds on
hot days, they are likely to play
strenuous games and overdo.
If there is one thing that is more
important than anything else for
the children's health in summer, ii
is to see that they all, the baby as
well as the Oldest, get plenty OF
liquids in their diet. Give them
plenty of cool fruit juices and cool
water-you will have no difficulty
getting these accepted!-but do not
serve the young child cold, iced
drinks. Take out the ice before
serving him.
In extremely warm weather the
child may take only fruit juices. d.
not let this worry you; he need:
food in summer, and unless h
seems ill, he, is getting enough
nourishm
Just few more suggestions
Watch for sudden drops in temper
ature. The child is apt to tak'
cold if his clothing is sodden will
perspiration when sudden storm
with chill winds, comes up. Chill
dren need plenty of rest in warn
, weather. If their rooms are stuff.
, and hot, let them stay up littl
longer and enjoy the cool evening

marily producers of raw materials.
Imitation may help general business
conditions and improve the demand
for farm goods as well as increase
their prices. It reduces the rela-
tive size of fixed charges, such as
debts and interest, that farmers
must pay.
"But the present farm problem
rests upon a fundamental lack of
balance between the production of
actual agricultural goods and the
consumption of those goods. Amer
lean farmers are producing too
much wheat, pork, cotton, and
other commodities under the con-
ditions that now prevail. Normal
ly farmers do gain by imitation, but
the presence now of these sur
pluses prevents them from gaining
the full measure of benefit
Imitation cannot remedy the dis
parity between the buying power of
farm products and the buying pow
.er of industrial goods. Doubling
the number of dollars a farmer gets
for a hog doesn't enable the far
mer to buy any more manufactured
goods if the price of those goods
has doubled too. Higher prices
caused by imitation alone may tend
to increase production, and to in
tensify the actual maladjustment
between production and effective
demand.
Desirable as a rise in the gen
eral price level is. under existing
conditions it must be accompanied
by production control by farmers
unless and until normal market:
are restored"
Without controlled production,
says Secretary Henry A. Wallace
mo price-lifting effort can possibly
work; because if there is no con
troll of production, the better price
increases the next years planting
and the greater harvest wrecks thu
price"

GROWING WITH YOUR CHILD
Keep Children Cool

Here are four wise rules for
keeping children comfortable and
happy on days when the thermom-
eter sizzles.
Take off most Of their cloth
ing.
2-Give them cool (not cold)
baths.
3-Keep them as inactive as pos
sible.
Give them plenty Of fluids in
their diet.
All that even the very new baby
need wear on extremely hot days
is diaper. The new baby is near
ly always kept too warm keep him
comfortable, but guard against
changes in temperature. Remem-
Der that the baby does not stand
extremes Of heat and cold as well
as does an adult he is more miser-
able in hot weather and more cas-
lily chilled in cool weather.
If the young child has been kept
indoors and warmly clothed, ac-
custom him gradually to going un-
clothed out Of doors. This ques-
ton of sending children out Of
doors or letting them play on the
beach entirely unclothed is always
a moot one there will always be
.neighbors and passersby who will
object-and why raise the issue.
The child will be just as comfor-
able in diminutive sun suit or
panties, and will be free from self
consciousness.
Let the child wade and battle as
much as he likes In fairly warm
water and let him play in the bath

Growing With Your Child

Il don't know whether to wear
my red dress and red hat or my
blue outfit to the houseparty; I'd
rather wear the red, but haven't
any wrap to wear with that. wish
you'd decide for me, Mother"
Mrs. Murchison sighed. yesterday
it was Bob who couldn't make up
his mind whether he wanted to go
to the show with the boys or go to
the picnic with the family. She
felt they should be making up their
own minds, even about these rela-
lively trivial things, but she didn't
know just why.
Jean, you know you can't al
ways have other people making
your decisions for you, and you'll
have to make them pretty often.
You don't want to be the sort of
person who can't pick out hat
or choose a salad without someone
else's approval, do you. And once
you've made a decision about this,
you won't feel so gloomy any
more" That, she felt, was disposing
of jeans problem rather patty.
But Jean was not so easily con-
WINGED.
"Just this once, couldn't you de-
eide for me? she wheedled. It's so
unimportant, just choosing between
two dresses"
It did seem rather unimportant,
since the result mattered only to
Jean herself, but for that very
reason, it was an excellent oppor-
tunity for her to exercise her own
judgment. Judgment does have to
be exercised ofteni
If Jean gets into the habit of fac
ilating between different courses
of action, it will be harder and
harder for her to make up her
mind decisively. OF course it is
easier to do what someone tells
her to, because in that way she is
escaping responsibility, but it won't
be easier in the long run because
all her life she will have to be us
ing her own Judgment and making
quick decisions, and how wise those
decisions will be depends on how
much early opportunity she has
had to cultivate good judgment.
A mother of three said: my
five-year- old is going to have the
edge on the other children when it
comes to self-reliance because he's
getting all the benefit of my exper-
fence with the others. used to in
terfere whenever Joyce made a
foolish selection in clothes or Joe
spent all his savings on some play
thing that wouldn't have any last
ing pleasure for him, because I
couldn't bear to see them disap-
pointed. Now know that they had
to learn sometime to handle their
allowances and that the later they
had to learn, the more disastrous
would be their mistakes.
"One Of my experiences with
Dicky the other day was rather
amusing, though. Mrs. Hamlin
telephoned me and invited Dicky to
her six-year-old's birthday party. I
accepted for him, of course, but
when q told Dicky about it, he cried
and said he didn't want to go; he
doesn't like the Hamlin boy. The
idea Of a six-year-old having a
mind Of his own about his social
engagements seemed funny, but I
realized too that I'd had no right to
interfere with his pleasure that
way for no ones good, and that If,
later, he is sorry that he isn't at
the party, he win have learned,
even at his tender years, to think
before he refuses another invita-

June 1 Crop Report

GROWING COnQlClOuS were, Oh the
whole, favorable for crop develop
ment during the month of May, ac-
cording to the Federal-State crop
Service,
With precipitation for the month
well above normal some sections of
the State were too wet so that corn
planting was materially delayed
and in some instances replanting of
corn was necessary. There were
few dry section in the State but the
areas were relatively small. Growth
of hay and pastures was slow but
with recent warm weather there, no
doubt, has been considerable top
growth made. Prospects for the
winter grain crops are only fair as
a result of unfavorable weather in
the winter and early spring months.
Rye prospects remain about the
same as on May 1, 1888, the fore
cast being for a crop of 4,424, 900
bushels. This compares with the
1892 production Of 1880, 900 bushels.
The condition June 1, 1888 was 76
per cent of normal. The stand is
reported to be rather thin but the
crop is heading well.
Winter wheat prospects declined
during the month of May, the crop
failing to make the expected i'm
provement. The June forecast is
for a crop of 2,544,0O0 bushels, COM
pared with 3,423,0O0 bushels har-
vested last year. The condition on
June 1, 1888 was 81 per cent Of nor
NAL. Prospects are varied within
the State with some counties re-
porting condition to be good.
Stands in most sections are very
uneven as a result of winter-kill and
the vitality Of the crop appears low.
If the weather should be favorable
at filling time, with a relatively thin
stand, it is possible that the crop
will exceed present expectations.
Conditions June /, 1888 of other
important crops for which forecasts
are not made until July 1 are as
follows: Oats, 81 per cent of nor
NAL; barley, SO; durum wheat, SO;
other spring or bread wheat, SO; all
tame hay, 70; alfalfa hay, 70; and
all clover and timothy hay, 70. Wild
hay was reported at 76 per cent of
normal while pastures were 80 per
cent. These reported conditions
represent a decrease of 2 and 8
points for the grain crops, compared
with a year ago, while hay and pas
lures conditions are from to II
points below a year ago due to the
late spring season.
Livestock is reported to be in
good condition with reports indi-
eating the loss of spring pigs to
be not so heavy as a year ago.
Fruit prospects are very good this
year and are very much better than
a year ago. The June 1, 1888 indi-
cation for apples was for Sc per
cent of a full crop while year ago
the indications was for only 81 per
cent of a full crop. Many trees fail
ed to bloom in the spring of 1882
while this year blossoms were
abundant and the weather was very
favorable.

FOSSTON-One of the "tallest" stories reported
following the recent wind storms comes from Foss-
ton An old lumber wagon, little used and standing
in the Fred LaVoi barnyard, was struck by storm
earlier in the season and the hayrack sitting on it
lifted off and thrown upon the ground. Left
there awaiting convenient time to put 1t back in
place, the wind storm two weeks age picked UP the
heavy rack and put it back in position on the wagon
in almost the identical spot in which had originally
rested.

Imitation Alone Not Farm Answer
Imitation alone will not restore
pre-war purchasing power to the
overproduced commodities - cot
ton, wheat, corn, hogs, rice, and to-
bacco. This opinion is expressed
by officials of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture in reports
received at University Farm, st
Paul, Mimi. The Washington Of
ficials sum UP the case as follows:
early in May Wheat was quoted
at around 20 cents a bushel, with
cotton near 10 cents a pound. These
prices represented an increase OF
approximately 100 per cent over the
February, 1888, listings, Of 80 cents
a bushel for wheat and five and
one-half cents a pound for cotton.
The increases were caused in part
by anticipation Of the probable eff
feet of general inflationary meas
ures and in part by anticipation Of
the effect Of production adjust
ments possible under the new
Farm Act.
Imitation ordinarily gives farm
ers certain definite advantages.
Such measures, designed to raise
prices, raise the prices of raw ma
terials first, and farmers are pri-

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN

Some folks can't see beyond
the tips of their noses. Take the
liquor crowd; the red spot OBJ
scures their vision. They see
profits for the bar-keep, the dis
tiller, and the transporter; they
can't see the ruin of communi-
ties, the increase of accidents,
the debauching of girls, the. de-
struction of boys, the corruption
of politics, the lowering of NOR
ais all round, the rottenness OF
business, the increment of crime,
the burden on charity, the dis
ruption of homes.
The liquor politicians see more
taxes on which they may graft.
But they can't see the reduction
of capital values through the in
efficiency of labor, the increase
in arson, the loss of time, the
conversion of solid assets into
gutter-swill, the loss of insurance
through lapsed policies, the rails
ing of premiums through bad
risks, the draining of the country
into foreign liquor watts, the
flight of decent capital from

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WILL CONGRESS "oUEERp THE NEW DEAL?


The principal political writer of the New York
Times at Washington has discovered that the peo-
nile who so warmly applauded the dissolution OF
Congress last March eager for 1t TO reasseioie
again. He does not describe the President as
sharing in this eagerness, nor does ne depict tn9
"brain trust as looking joyously forward to COM
petition and criticism the Hill. But 1t IS MS
conviction that there are many in intimate asso-
citation with the NRA and AAA programs who feel
that the time is here for searching criticism in
order that possible flaws and weaknesses may be
detected This mental attitude sounds commend
able but not political-and with all Difference to
the virtues of the Roosevelt administration it is
not destitute of politicians and very practical ones
at that.
If any very considerable number of the Presi-
dents advisers think his efforts for reconstruction
would be expedited by calling together the states
men of the capitol the power exists for the SUM-
moning of an extra session. do not myself vision
IFS use. I think President Roosevelt will enjoy to
its very last waning quarter the political honey
moon, and frankly, do not see how he could do
otherwise if he is convinced of the efficiency and
constitutionality of the remedies he is pressing.
For congress- despite its huge Democratic ma
iorities in both senate and house, will not be
fresh from the people and will express such doubts
and miSgivings as may have arisen IN the pubic
mind. Today an isolated individual like Henry
Ford may set up an opposition, but is instantly
subjected to the devastating criticism that he IS
putting his own mercenary aims individual
prejudices above the public welfare Or the news
papers may raise the issue that the freedom OF
the press is in jeopardy, but again only an ex parte
presentation of the is possible. Were congress
in session we can we'll imagine how the house Of
representatives or the senate would re-echo to
the masterfu protests which Colonel Mccormick,
of the Chicago Tribune now make only at COL
lege meetings or the unwilling of monuments to
forgotten worthless.
1t would be idle to deny the existence of one
great and haunting question in the land Is the
achieved as yet the success promised for it, but
the people are ready to forgive delay. What is
sought is assurance of ultimate success. AS yet,
in the minds of doubters even in those who are
convinced that there is only faint hope of accom-
plshing all that planned, there is seldom
hint of hostility either to the President his
purpose. Even Ford, and the embattled news
papers, fearful for their freedom, protest their
loyalty But out of the present situation definite
opposition may yet develop
Congress may embarrass the President. 1t NAV
delay his program. But it will give outlet to the
multiplying hesitancies and doubts now privately
expressed. And it will be the most important ses
sion of the national legislature in quarter
of a century.-Willis ]. Abbott in The Christian

Education-it is Secretary Ickes speaking
should be the last great public service to be made
to suffer from violent economies.
That will not be questioned
1t may not be attacked so much from the stand
point of abstract educational value as from the
angle that the system to which America has be-
come committed grew topheavy in cost, and, there
FORE 1T should have come among the first of the
beneficial public services to suffer sashing.
And that projects the issue into the maze OF
conflicting opinions to which one mind will sub
scribe and another deny.
The educational partisans conclude at once that,
on a basis of services rendered and values given
back to the public, the costs which have been in
Cured up to the the time when the knife began
to be applied, were not excessive.
The opposing view will hold that practical edu-
cational advantage be given the youthhood of
America on much reduced national expenditure
and at the same time, those engaged in the teach
ing profession adequately paid
So, therefore the issue at once becomes clash
of two views which may leave the position of Sec
rotary Ickes unimpaired if it is consented that
what he means is not to tear down school houses
and colleges, not to throw curricula out the Win
dow and not to dismiss teachers in wholesale lots
in word, not to destroy by violent economies
the fundamentals of modern instruction nor to
impair the efficiency and integrity of the public
school system.
The people generally will follow him wholehesrr-
edly in this view
The Observer has never allowed itself to believe
that there is more than fragment of sentiment in
this state against the educational movement Or the
educational sanction. What the people have re-
belled against in majority numbers, in some locali
ties, is what has come to be believed as excessive
and unnecessary, incidental costs.
We prefer to hold tenaciously to that view ra-
Their than to imagine that in the mind of the pub
lie of North Carolina, we have come upon time
when we can afford to sink sabre destructively
into the central organs of our educational ideals

1t may be the same way with

thousand million dollars - on
some fool local scheme, which
would put a few dollars into the
pockets of some special interests
but work havoc to the general
good, and the boobs will rise up
on their hind legs and shout like
mad for the waste. Why they
got Uncle Sam to put jetties in
the French Broad once; and then
they squalled and sent delega-

to take them out again. They
built big million-dollar high

cause they couldn't keep it up.
