ONE REAL HERO.

Frank R. Kent, the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
intimated that pension increases go
by favors at the National Capital
Two typical cases are cited. One of
them relates to the claim of Mrs.
Edith l.. Quick, widow of Sergeant
John Quick, of the Marine Corps, a
native of this county, and a son of
Constable Landon Quick. Here is
kent's comment:
Take, for instance, report made a
few days ago by the Senate Commit
tee on Pensions. Among others, a
Mrs. Edith l.. QNick, of st. Louis, and
a Mr.. George Curry, of Ell Paso, Tex
as, figured in the report. The COM
mittee recommended that an increase
to $50 in her pension, asked by Mrs.
Quick, be denied. 1t recommends
that the increase from S12 to $50.
asked by Mr.. Curry, be granted. In
regard to Mrs. Quick it says. "She
is now drawing compensation at the
rate of $50 month as World War
widow, and is only A years Old" Of
Mr.. Curry, the committee says, she
is now. physically unable to earn his
| living by manual labor"
vi tiit nh1ldIG tuEIG SEEMS no FGa-
son to criticize the findings in either
case When you go below the sur
face, however, certain facts are dis
closed that make a difference.
Take first the case of Mrs. Quick.
Perhaps she does not need more than
$50 month, but the report shows
that, although only A 4years old. she
as an ailment that prevents her from
working, and that neither child nor
other relative contributes to her sup-
port. It is also true she is the widow
of Sergt. John Henry Quick, who
served in both the World War and the
Spanish War, and from whom Major
General Lejeune, commandant of ma
rines. said. "He is the greatest ma
! rine who ever served in the navy. -
and who further said he had excel
ed all others in citations for bravery
and had repeatedly refused a com
mission. He was awarded the Con.
gressional Medal of Honor and was
one of the real heroes of the war.
Mr.. Curry, whose pension was in.
creased from S21 to $50 a month
holds government position paying
him $4,000 a year.

OLD AND NEW

Cooperation is one of the most
discussed subjects among farmers
and agricultural extension workers in
the country today. One can scarce
~ pick up farm paper, or any news
paper for that matter, without find
ing an interview, an article, or a
reference to cooperation. 1t is look
ed upon as the cure-all for the ills of
agriculture. We are often led to be-
lleve that it Is something new-that
1t represents a new idea.
But such is hardly the case. Co
operation is as old as farming itself
and in the old days it was practiced
with II y as much benefit as may be
derived from it today.
In the days when Grandfather rails
ed barn or house and called in all
the neighbors to help; in the DAYS
when there were corn husking bees.
quilting parties, and the threshing
and other big jobs were done bv the
neighbors in return for help that
Grandfather gave them, cooperation
was mentioned little but practiced
much.
Today much is said about It but in
practice 1t does not seem to be quite

operation means big organization.
j marketing on an international scale,
developing business from far away
i places.
But before co-opertion can be en-
tlrely successful on the grand scale
imagined and hoped for by all of us.
1t must be practiced carefully in each
community.
ANY national cooperative market
ing plan must be founded on many
small successful co-operatives. And
+ to make these ventures successful in
a small way, it is necessary tc apnly
a little more of the attitude that
Grandfather and his neighbors cult
waited so well.
Cooperation merely means the ap.
plieation of many hands and brains
to a single task 1t demands from,
each individual willingness to help
a loyalty through thick and thin, and
a certain amount of compromise. To
I be good co-operator one must be
willing to set aside a few of his owr
opinions occasionally and adopt few
of the other fellows ideas.
In other words to be successful In
these new cooperative ventures. we
must be willing to take a lesson from
Grandfather now and then.

GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE
CHERRY TREE.

''Do you believe that stuff" the
writer heard small boy ask another
after having been told the story of
George Washington and the Cherry
Tree. And the other lad agreeably
said, mo"
But boys you were both wrong.
You made the mistake of taking that
story too literally Truth is often
best expressed in myth or fiction.
Though Santa Claus may never have
been seen coming down your CHM
ney, there is a Santa Claus, as one
great editor once said, "to gladden.
the heart of childhood" And like
wise there is truth in the Cherry free
myth.
When you get older you will meet
men in high places who climbed to
their lofty positions by the ladders of
deceit, dishonesty, and hypocrisy.
You will also read of prominent men
In history who had little regard for
the truth when their popularity was
at stake.
But this was never true of the
Father of our country. Throughout
his life he employed none but the
cost honorable of methods. He did
dot deceive the public for the sake
of raising himself to a position of
power. He did not falsify issues,
flop to the popular side merely be-
cause it was popular, think first, last,
and always of his political fortunes.
While in the service of his King as
a youth, when leading the Continen-
tai Army as a man, and while found
ing a new government as its first ex-
ecutive, he served truth with a devo-
tion that seems almost amazing.
Time and again throughout his
public career he took the unpopular
side, because he could understand
better than the mob what would be
best for the new nation. Old news
paper flies will show that he was
more bitterly denounced than any
recent President has ever been. But
he adhered firmly to his belief in
what was true, what was right, and
by the force of his sincerity and hon
esty he helped the people of his new
country. inexperienced in governing
themselves, found the greatest nation
in the world
No, boys, there is a great deal il
