same recession Of business that would
result in decreased revenue for the
Treasury would result also in unem-
ployment and thereby in increased
demands upon the Treasury.
One other policy of the admins
tration is inconsistent both with bal
ancing the budget and with reduced
cost of living. The administration is
already embarked upon. and seems
bent upon extending. policy Of pay
ing farmers to produce less. with the
effect and avowed intention Of keep
ing prices OF farm crops high. The
administration is already paying large
amounts out Of the Treasury In re-
duce the acreage of several crops. II
is paying cotton raiSers to reduce
their acreage. Along with this. 1t is
making loans on cotton at higher
figure than the present price Of cotton
in the market. 1t is contemplating
policy Of loaning larger amounts on
corn than corn commands in the
market. It has Just initiated policy
Of paying farmers bonuses Of 6 and 4
cents bushcl for not raising pota-
toes. How this practice can 60 along
with reducing the cost of living or
with balancing the budget is nlIes-
tion about which we shall hear some
debate when Congress considers the
administrators proposed measure for
greater limitation of crops.
Union Power Supported.
Similarly the administration is fol-
lowing a policy OF strong support to
the extension of union power in labor.
And union power in labor commonly
means not only resistance to lowering
Of wages but also. as shown during
the recent exceptional activity Of
unions, increased wages for labor.
Whether this policy can be practica BILE

another question about which We

OO many parents look upon
their children's birthday ami
versaries only as time to give
them a party or a present
There can be another feature OF the
celebration from which both parents
and children will get longtime enjoy
ment - the birthday snapshot.
And it's wise to start your baby
snapshooting just as soon as you can
after the baby is born. Two years, or
even two months, later, it won't be so
easy to remember how your baby
looked on the eventful day, unless you
have snapshots to hold the likeness.
Every month is usually considered
birthday in baby's life until he is
year old. At least picture a month
should be made during this period.
You will be delighted in seeing the
changes which the pictures record.
After that, keep the camera always

an event that is.
There's always the FIRST time" for
everything and this applies to thou
sands of events in baby's life. There
is the first time he discovers he has
toes, and Immediately decides that
they are something good to eat. There
is his first smile, and then that great
moment when he reaches out with his
chubby little arms and says his first
word.
But don't forget that snapshots of
the babies are important right now
and in later years they will prove to be
one of your priceless possessions.
