County Farm Bureau TO Meet

a resolution asking Congress n
continue the minimum guarantee on
wheat for another year will BE- pre-
scnted at the County Farm Bureau
meeting in Pendleton tomorrow. 4
committee was appointed last Satur-
Jay ~ an informal meeting Of repre-
sentative wheat growers 10 draw up a
resolution and present It % farm or
gRnizations and commercial bodies so
soon as possible. II is claimed by
good authorities that there is an alb
solute necessity for the continuation
of the guarantee in order TO stabilize
the wheat market during the coming
year. Although indications are that
wheat prices should be good, without
a minimum guarantee farmers who
are compelled to sell Immediately af-
ter harvest viii have to take what the
buyers are willing 10 pay. With a
widely nuctuating market much less
credit can be advanced on the wheat.
There are others who claim that the
quicker the government guarantee Is
removed so that the farmer can learn
10 stand on his own feet, the better.
The committee viii appear before
thc Farm Bureau 70 defend the reso-
luton, which will be argued pro and
con by the leading farmers and bank
ers Of the county. 1t is very desira-
bic that Il good, representative crowd
Of wheat farmers be present at this
meeting, so that whatever action is
taken can be said TO truly represent
the sentiment Of the farmers Of Una
tilla county.
Twelve communities have been or
ganized in the County Farm Bureau,
with a membership Of about $50. A
county program will be adopted and
officers elected at the meeting in
Pendleton tomorrow.

LIKE LINCOLN-LIKE PERsHlNG.

~ AGAzINES and newspapers since the announcement
Nl OF me movemnt favoring Pershins for President
have lened Pershing Washington and Grant because
Of the TACT that the popular demand that he become
President has developed out Of the ability he displayed
as Americas greatest general Of the present day.
Now an enierprslng correspondent. delvlns into
PershIngs early life has brought to light striking sim
larity in early training between the commander of the
A. Z f. and Abraham Lincoln. He writes
'n the comparison Of present day candidates for the
presidency with Americas presidents Of the past is
Interesting TO note the marked similarity existing be-
tween the boyhood life and early training Of Lincoln
and pershing.H
",Jack' Pershlng. as Lincoln, not born with
gold spoon In his mouth nor was he handed out the
good things Of life on a silver platter Just as the rail-
splitter OF Illinois cut fence rails and took other odd
Jobs to gain sufficient funds to give him livelihood and
to enable him to pursue his studies Pshng fought
his early battles In preparation for the great work ahead
Of him.
AT the age Of fourteen, young Jack Pershlng with
an inbon desire study and to gain knowledge sought
as a means TO that end, the vocation in which the
immortal Lincoln go his start. lie took contract for
making fence rails; chopped down the trees, trimmed
the branches and split nfty rails a day During the
period when this work he hired out as sec
on hand on the railroad at sO5 per day boarding hm-
self In this manner he made enough money to put him
through the Normal school
'NNhen he was fifteen years old he and his brother
James Pershng. in Chicago raised ninety acres of
corn. husked. harvested and sold IL With his income
from this and his other odd Jobs he made his way
through school For The two years following he taught
school that he might have enough money to continue
his education Through Il all he had his goal TO strive
for and no task too menal providing Il assisted him
in his ambition
Just as Lincoln and for that matter, most Of our
great men, Pershing came from humble surroundings.
The progress he made he had to 0ght for The ends he
achieved he merted through hard work and grinding
experiences Perhaps That humble origin and the neces-
sy lighting for every advancement he gained accounts
more than anything else for the splendid he has
attained
With such record, II is not surprising that the ma
tonvlds movement to make General Pershng the Repub
can nominee for President is gaining in strength daily
and that there steady growth in Delaware in favor
Of such nomination.
