When you. met a sheepman on the
street Thursday morning you met the
biggest, broadest smile you had en
countered since wool hit the 30-cent
mark last winter. That big, warm
rain Wednesday night and the bright
warm sunshine that followed was
enought to make a wooden Indian
smile. John Kilkenny, who was in
town Thursday for the first time in a
week or so, declared the grass on his
range grew three inches or less Wed
nesday night.

NO REWARD FOR LOYALTY
What cun a man hope for who en
ters the government service as a
career? Let us look at some actual
cases. Here Is the story of one as
told by E. J. Ayers, chief clerk, De
partment of the Interior. He cites, it
as a case similar to that of many oth
ers In his department, and says there
are many others who are in worse cir
cumstances :
"The records of our department
show that he entered the service as a
lahorer at ifOOO a year, after a service
of three and a half years in the Uni
ted States navy as a first-class lire
man, with an honorable discharge. He
has been with us for more than tliirty-
' three years, and is sixty-six years
old, and has given more than' half his
life to the service of the government.
"He owns a little property three
miles beyond the Chesapeake Junc
tion, and he gets up early In the morn
ing, before daylight, and comes In to
work and goes out after dark at night.
Today he Is getting $840 a year. He
lias raised a family of nine children
three of whom are now dead eight
boys and one daughter. His elder
sons are married and have established
homes of their own. Two of his sons
were In the military service iii France,
and his daughter, twelve years old,
lives with her grandmother, where be
is supporting, educating and clothing
her.
j "He Is a white man, a very Intelli
gent mnn, eminently qualified for this
particular line of work. His wife is
dead. He is his own housekeeper and
he does the cooking and the washing
and the Ironing.
"His home was established In Its
present location because it was not
thought practicable to raise a family
in the district, and he bought a piece
of property in Prince George's coun
ty three miles beyond the railroad
terminal, which distance, as I said, he
walks twice a day, leaving In the morn
, ing most of the year before daylight,
I and returning home by dark. This
small place consists of a shack and a
few acres of land on which he has a
mortgage of $1,000, and you can judge
that he enjoys no conveniences other
than the small bouse, which protects
him from the elements.
"The bouse Is divided into four
rooms, the partitions being of paper
i tacked to the framework, there being
no laths or plaster.
"The small stove standing In the
center of the room he has used for
more than twenty years, and the pot
on the stove contains his Sunday din
ner, which he has prepared for him
self, consisting of white navy beans
and fatback. These beans are now
costing him twenty-five to thirty cents
a quart, and the fatback costs him
forty cents a pound. It could have
been purchased a few years ago for
seventeen cents a pound, and the beans
for ten cents. He does not get any
fresh meat because he cannot afford
to buy it.
"To my mind It seems a pity that
the United States government should
employ men of Unit type, or any other
type for that matter, and not give
them enough to live on decently. It
is particularly n pity In this case he
cause he Is somewhat superior to
many of the employees. He has
stayed with us as a matter of faithful
ness to the government, and has
stayed with us when be could make
more in one week outside of the gov
ernment than we pay him for one
month.
"Others have left us, hut Instances
of that kind have been very few. At
one time I bad In our auditorium our
employees and I made an appeal to
mem 10 siana ny us during the war
period, and there were more than 800
of thein present, and they all of one
accord assured us that they would
stand by us and would give us the
benefit of their labor In our depart
ment during the war period, notwith
standing the fact that the price for
labor outside was a great deal more."
This curious pride In their work and
loyalty to the government and the
government service was a thing that
cropped up In the most unexpected
places.
As one employee put It: "I think you
will find that every service seems to
be quite proud of Its work. I know
you will find It In our service as far
as compensation and such as that are
concerned. The pay In this office Is
small, but that element, that feeling
in a man's mind that he Is really help
ing to accomplish good work and
helping this government to function
well, is really part of It. I find In all
my talks with employees that they
really feel proud of their work, and
that pride Is really what gets things
done. I think that Is true everywhere
In the whole service, and particularly
throughout the executive depart
ments." That Is curiously true, and It Is on
of the reasons, possibly the chief rea
son, why men stay on In the depart
ments year after year at a low rat
of pay and not mucb possibility ot
promotion.
