.0 fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to

thing. Psalm 34: 9, 10.
CROP VALUES UP
That something pretty substantial actually has been done
to better the condition of the farmer is shown by the U. S.
Bureau of Agricultural Economics crop report for 1933, re
cently issued in Washington. This report shows that the
. value of the nation's farm produce in 1933 jumped fully
$1,000,000,000 over the figures for 1932.
Total value of all farm crops grown in the United States
in 1933 is set at slightly better than 84,000,000,000 as
compared with a 1932 valuation of approximately S2.879,'
000,000. It is worth remembering, too, that this increase
! took place in spite of diminished production or, perhaps,
if the farm doctors at Washington are correct, because of it.
Total volume of crops for the year was unusually low.
i In one way or another, farm prices have taken a healthy
boost Whether this happened because of or in spite of the
federal farm program; it is a good omen for the future.
WHEN A LIFE IS AT STAKE
Strange, how all the attention of a busy nation can be
, focused oh the plight of one tiny baby! When 5-months-old
Sue Trammel! of Texas fell ill of a malady that required the
most delicate of operations, the whole Country held its breath
until she had been got 'to a hospital where that operation
could be performed properly. A visiting nobleman gave up
the use of his airplane; one of the land's best aviators' drop
ped everything to pilot the child on a long and perilous flight;
officials of distant cities did all they could to expedite mat
ters. ,
And the story of this spectacular flight, meanwhile,' oc
cupied newspaper front pages from coast to coast, and mil
lions of people waited anxiously to learn how it came' out.
Straight, and revealing, the way in which the sympathyiof a
nation can be focused on one small baby!

The Impression seemingly was that
he was weU satisfied so far wiin tne
course followed.
To the die-hards and those .who
have believed there would be a re
turn to old methods eventually, the
following words must have sounded
ominous:
'. . . We have undertaken new
methods. It Is our task to prefect, to
improve, to alter when necessary, but
In all cases to go forward."

In Washington
By Herbert. Plmhmer
WASHINGTON Democratic lead
ers credit President Roosevelt with
having executed another masterly
i stroke In his personal appearance bo,
fore congreai on opening day to read
- hla message.
They rate it probably the most as
tute bit of strategy yet employed by
tho chief executive. The extent of
Its effectiveness can not. be measured
' now.
When it was rumored around the
capltol that the president would
present his mesoago in person every.
body became excited. Senators and
representatives scented something un
usual In the or f Ing.
Was the president to announce at
lost a definite monetary policy?
Would he explain just wliat tho gold
buying policy the administration hus
been following really means?
Await lug The Curiam
Many members of congress were
awaiting anxiously his message on
opening day. They had been counsel
ing their constituents at homo to bo
patient until that tlmo. Then the
curtain would be drawn and every
body would know what it was all
about.
Therefore they Jammed their way

f Chats With !
t Parents
VAMPIRB
By Brooke Peters Church
Everyone has met the mother who
is continually bragging that she
knows her children through and
through. Why, they tell her every
thing, want her about all the time,
love to be with her, and even Insist
on her presence when they have
young people In the house! "
And many of the unwilling vic
tims of this same mother's smug
self-satisfaction, smile wickedly when
they see the confiding children up to
mischief when their mother's back
is turned. ,.s
Contact between parents' and child
ren can and should be close and har
monious, but as the children advance
from babyhood Into their teens they
must have a spiritual privacy, or they
will be crippled for life quite as
much as If they lived in a gold-fish
bowl.
Children resent prying eyes, even
of their parents, pood manners and
habit may lead them to an appar
ent frankness, but behind this there
nearly always Is withdrawal.
And they know their helplessness
in the power of a devoted and in
quisitive mother. They have not yet
developed the defenses which adults
have learned by experience and, in
a heart to heart talk at night, may
let out, and so spoil, a precious and
harmless secret which they had cher
ished as their very own.
Small wonder that in time they
learn to He, to break bounds, to go
to any length to prevent their en
tire lives from being scanned and
discussed with someone, no matter
how dear, and their growing Indi
vidualities submerged in the smoth
ering atmosphere of a too close and
confining home life.
