THE CHERRY TREE

. Despite the efforts Of certain historians to
kill it, the story of George Washington and the
cherry tree goes marching on, like truth itself.
Henry Cabot Lodge denounces as a mere
'mythmaker' Parson Weems, the man who first
told the cherry tree story, which, according to
Lodge, is 'hopelessly and ridiculously false"
Nevertheless, confectionery windows lust
now are blossoming with candied cherries,
symbols of the birthday today of t h e
Father of His Country. And is not the little
Ratchet being sold in many varieties of colored
cardboard? And is not the dear old story to
be re-told in every common school of the land :?
Old Weems may have been fraud and the
cherry tree story myth, but what's the odds !?
There have even been folks who have made
SO. bold as to say that Santa Claus is a myth
and yet Santa Claus continues to flourish doing
his good work annually and ignoring the critics.
And just as sure as there is a Santa Claus.
there was once. a cherry tree, and George Wash
ington chopped it down, later confessing truth
fully to the deed
Moreover, let destructive historians remen-
Der this: Long after their dusty books are
forgotten, Parson Weems' cherry tree story
still will set before the youth of the land Amer

MEETING AT THE GATE

City people will have to meet their country
cousins at the gate, insists J. R. Howard, presi-
dent of American Farm Bureau Federation
IF city consumers wish to profit by rural CO.
operation. Farmers are not, he intimates,
especially concerned with lowering the cost Of
living for the city man. Rural marketing pro-
grams are intended to bring better returns for
farm products
Being human the farmer is thinking most of
himself, and his own problem He is organic
ing, In large measure, so that his produce will
bring him the cost of production plus fair
proflt He has learned that this cannot be done
if he confines his attention solely to production
he must have hand in the marketing.
But he believes, according to Howard, that
his marketing problem is ended, as far as he
can solve it, when he has delivered his product
to the mill, butcher, and grocer
From thence on it is city mans problem
Ii the city consumer is content to have waste
full delivery systems, duplication OF stores
costly credit appendages, and other extrava-
gances which add SO highly to the cost of food
that is, the farmer asserts, the city mans
funeral"
BY meeting at the gate" the Farm Bureau
Federation means that city consumers should
organize comparatively. eliminate waste and use
less hands, take the food from the producers
hands at markets and terminals, and distribute
it in more scientific, thrifty, manner than
ever has been done before.
The farmer is serving notice on you that he
is not going to solve your cost of living problem
That's up to you, he believes He will, though,
Howard promises, earnestly cooperate with con-
sumers who will cooperate with each other.

Starting with approximately 100 ply

additional number of $500 physicians

basis and the force of nurses and diet
itians is we'll over 1000.
We are now treating between 25,0O9
and $4,000 PATIENTS said one of the
officials of the public health service
today. "Since taking over the work we
have had total of more than 10000
hospital cases, and of that number less
than 11R have had cause to complain
of their treatment. But every com
plant that has been made has been
investigated and of the total number
thus taken up, about $50 have been
found to be justified"
