WORLD WAR
VETS APPLY FOR
COMPENSATION
Blank* May Be Had At CherokeJ
Scout Office or from Postmaster
A. B. Dickey
I
Many veterans of the "World Wai
j are now making out their aplication
; blanks and sending them to the prop
or officials in Washington asking foi
. . their portion of the adjusted compenf1
sation for ex-service men made available
by the act passed by th* recenl
- session of congress. These blanks ar*
for distribution at the office of Tht
Cherokee Scout and Postmaster A
-1 B. Dickey at Murphy.
i . According to the act as nassed n<
. soldier is entitled to more than tR(M
I if all of his service was in the United
States, and not over $025 if such sol
dier served overseas. This does not
i mean that every soldier, sailor or ma?
i rine is entitled to these amounts.
I These represents the maximum
amounts, no matter h? w Ion* the period
of service.
Time counts between April 0. 191?
and Nov. 11, 191$. For service in
, the United States each veteran is en|
titled to a credit of $1.00 per day and
for overseas services a veteran is entitled
to $1.25 per day under the provisions
of the act. As a bonus of
$00 was paid each soldier upon his
discharge from service, this sixty dollars
will be stubtracted from what he
entitled to under the rectnt act.
If under this act a soldier is entitled
to less than $50 hi will receive cash
payment and if more than fifty dollars
an adjusted service certificate
or insurance policy will be issued for
the amount the veteran is entithd to
plus the accrued interest for twenty
years, at which time the certificate
or policy will be payable. In other
words, the policy will be an endowment
policy, payable at the end of
twenty years.
The payments or certificates will
not be sent until after January 1.
1925. After two years, the insurance
dcvelopm nt of our state."
.Mr. Kilgore said that his second
impression was the lack of space to
do things in. The farms were small,
the people too plentiful and living
conditions were crowded. During
the time spent in Rome, he only ;
on.' nevr building be ing constructed
and this like the others was being
constructed of stone and brick. There

returns per man is not as great a* in
this country, and. says Mr. Kilgore:
"I would not want us to ever have
to farm over there. Their standard
of living is low, particularly in the
Mediterrcnaean countries, and they

conditions of some soils over there.
"We don't want ti wait as they did
until it is too late/' he says.

question of ability to pay the required
price. Witn them it is not so much !
a question of ability and willingness
to produce wealth from the farm as a
question of how to retain a fair share
of that wealth for the farm.
"There must be some way found
by which the farmer may not only *
live himself but may become econo- |
mica^y independent so as to insure
the products which all other classes
oi p?opic must use to live. An intelligent
system of marketing points
the way to economic independence fo:*
the farmer. With this indepcnder.ee
will come good homes, good schools,
good churches and other conditions
that, insure and perpetuate the welfare
of any rural community. North
Carolina i ^primarily an agricultural
state and primarily upon agriculture
must the state's welfare depend.
"It is one thing to boast of our
great agricultural wealth and quite
a differen thing to realize that no
reasonable or just share of this wealth
is insured to the producers. For
this reason I am ready to do what i
may to establish the principles of cooperative
marketing since this seems
to offer relief from conditions past
and present which tend to keep in
bondage a people that should by all
rights be more free than any othur
class on earth."
