MOOSE AND DAVIS
INSEP ARABLY ONE

The late "Uncle Joe" Can
non, Speaker Of the House of
Representatives, once said of
James J. Davis, with your en-
thusiasm and the sparkle in
your eyes, / am sure you will
make good"
This proved true not only of
Davis himself, but of the great
project of the Loyal Order of
Moose-one of the outstanding
examples in the cause of hui
mainly to which Davis has ded
Gated his life.
Mr.. Davis, the United States
Secretary of Labor, is the di-
rector general Of the Moose. It
is his life work. The story of
the fraternity, which has an
International membership of
100000, is so closely linked
with the story of his own life
that the two are inseparable.
The man was born in Wales.
He came to this country at an
early age and followed in the
footsteps of his father, who
was an employee in the iron
mills of Pennsylvania. The boy
was a harum-scarum young
ster, paying, fighting romp-
ing, but ever with an eye to
business. He earned his first
money by brushing fish from
a brook with branches from a
tree, selling the fish for a dime
which he trereupon invested
in shoe-shining outfit.
With such zeal and energy
developing as he grew, it is not
surprising that he became dis
satisfied with the mills and
eft home, eventually arriving
inCrawfordsville, Ind. There he
joined the Moose-a decrept
organization on the verge of
iisbanding.
But young Davis saw plssi-
bilities in it. 1t would be We
hicle for the promullgation of
his plans to serve orphans and
widows-and humanity in gen.
eral. He had seen how the well
meant but oft misdirected
almshouses and orphans homes
erected by society tore unfor-
tunate families apart. The
Moose perhaps could become a
fraternity that would point out
new way out of these evils.
He joined the order. The Of
ficials were glad enough to
turn affairs over to him. Bit
by bit under his direction the
order took on a new lease OF
ife and began to grow. There
were discouragements in the
early days, of course. The new
fraternity had to go through q
period in which it was finding
itself. asss

Rufus Mullins
Badly Injured
In Wreck

Last Sunday afternoon, Ru-
fus Mullins, a deputy sheriff
of near here, was seriously in
jured in an automobile wreck
on the Georges Fork road. He
had arrested a Robinson boy
for being intoxicated and driv-
ing an auto recklessly on the
public highway, and getting-in-
TO the car he ordered the boy
to drive on to Clintwood to the
Jail.
Robinson did as ordered un-
til he came to a high bank and
then he deliberately drove the
car over the embankment,
leaping clear while it plugged
on and turned over, pinning
Mullins beneath the wreckage.
Robinson did not stop to see
what damage was done but
ran on and has not been seen
since.
Someone close by secured
help and finally pulled Mullins
from beneath the wreck. His
head was badly crushed, a leg
smashed and several ribs brok-
en-. He was taken to his home
and although in a very serious
condition, is reported to be do
'ng fine.

CHILD DIES FROM
PTOMAINE POISONING

Lena Wright, age 10, died
Sunday from the effects Of

had been left over night in a
can and was poisoned.
She was a step-daughter of
K. R. Dotson, town Sergeant,
and a daughter of Mrs. Dotson
by a former marriage.
The funeral was held in the
Pine Grove cemetery west of
town. Relatives from Jenkins,
KY. were here.

LITTLE GIRL GETS
SERIOUS BURN

Nellie Waddell, Ia, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Waddell, was seriously burned
at her home last Friday while
she was helping with the fam
lily washing.
1t seems that she was boiling
water on the stove, and at
tempting to seat the tub on
the ground, fell and was
drenched with the boiling wa
ter. Her condition has been
very serious but she is report
ed as doing very well at this
time. Physicians say she will
recover.

AND If so, WHY NOT?
(Letter to the Editor
Editor of The Herald,
Clintwood, Va.
Dear Sir:

DCdl MI
There is, going around in the
community a question: Is it
an eternal sin for women to
have their hair cut? | am ask
this question for solemn fought
and investigation. If we, as God
loving people, would read the
word of God and stop this ar
gument and not hurt any feel
ings and yet we would not be
adding to the word of God. I
will ask a question which l
would be glad to have some
one answer. Was it ever in
tended that a woman should
wear different garment from
those worn by men? If so was
it intedned for a woman to cut
her hair and for the men to
take up the habit of wearing
long hair? In answering these
questions mail your reply to
my address, given below. Ask
yourselves the questions and
stop the argument.

Amendments
Win BY Small
Majority

Out of the $50 voters in the
Chase precinct, only about 800
were present on election day,
Tuesday, June 10, to vote in
the amendment election, and
very little interest was shown
either way.
We have been unable so far
to obtain the exact result in
Dickinson, but it is thought
that the amendments carried
in the county by majority of
near three hundred. Chase
precinct voted it down by a
majority of forty-three.
Returns received from the
state at large seem to indicate
that all five of the proposed
changes in the state constitu-
ton have carried by MAORI
ties estimated at 1900. The
vote cast in the state was COM
paratively light.
Partial returns from all the
districts in the state give a
fair idea of the vote on on the
basis of these returns, five
districts are placed in the For
column, four Against with one
even.
The great majorities piled up
in the Ninth and Seventh dis
tricts seemed to assure the
passage of the amendments.
The Seventh, Gov Byrd's
home district, gave a majority
of 5000 in favor, while the
Ninth district ran close Sec
ond with a majority of 5000
in favor of the changes.
In the Tenth district the
majority was placed at $500
The Fifth went in favor by s.
600 and the Second, Repre-
sentative Deals district, chief
opponent of the amendments,
voted for the changes by a
majority of 1900.
The districts voting against
the amendments and the esti-
mated majorities are: First,
1000; Third, 1000; Fourth,
5000, and Sixth, 500. The
Eighth was regarded as
stand off.

ands of people who are cut off from
these highways by roads of mud
for considerable periods. The prac-
t;ce of transporting farm products
from the farm to market with
trucks is developing rapidly, and
we must advance the development
of the secondary roads along the
trunk highways. If we do not do
this, there can be no appreciable
agricultural development and
building up of farm homes in is
olatei districts away from the
trunk highways. It seems incon-
ceivable to me that anyone can
oppose this amendment"
Passage of the amendment would
place third of the gas tax-or
about $1,800,00O at present in the
state road and bridge fund, from
which it could be distributed out to
the counties for the secondary
roads. Each county would receive
a minimum of $4,000 or a maxi
mum of $54, 200, as the law stands.

Our Boy Scout
Department
Richard Borgman. Scribe

| Richard Bergman, Scribe
| Scouting has been taken up by
the boys of this city again, a great
thing for the welfare of the boys
We have had five meetings so far
this year. Every fourth meeting
is an outdoor hike. On the hike
we go out for nature study, cook
ing and outdoor games. We will
ldescribe our method of holding in
door meetings. All scouts are re-
quested to be there at seven thirty
o'clock, then a bugle is sounded
and the troops are lined up. They
all recite the oath, laws and pledge
of allegiance before the regular
program is begun. After this is
over the patrol leaders report to
the scribe on absences and dues
Then the patrols go to their place
of assembly and pass tests, also get
assignments for the next meeting.
The outdoor meeting was held
Tuesday of last week, and we all
had wonderful time. The lunch
was given to the scouts, and was
composed of wieners, buns, and
pop. After lunch was over we
played Capture the Flag" A
wonderful scout game for all the
scouts to play.
Sank Centre has two troops.
They are as follows: Troop 18 in
which the following boys are mem
bers: Maurise Arneson, Patrol
leader; Dean Kinsella, patrol lead

Farmers Control Bureau

Speaking at an annual county
Farm Bureau meeting at Sioux
Falls, S. D., Thursday, j. S. Jones,
of st. Paul, executive secretary
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation, declared that only
men who live on the farm should
serve on the governing boards of
county, state and national farm
organizations.
In this connection, Mr.. Jones
said:
"The Farm Bureau, | believe,
offers the latest and best model of
farm organization, properly set
up, with a record of experience
that has confirmed the wisdom of
the plan on which it was estab-
lished.
"The experience of the last ten
years." continued Mr.. Jones. sis
our assurance that we are right in
insisting on keeping the Farm Bur
eau plan on its original basis of
county membership, state and ma
tional organizations with men who
live on the farm serving on the
boards of directors of these bod
les, determining their policies, in
stead of castoffs from other groups
or professions coming in and ag-
gressively determining agricultur-
al policy.

nesota if they would meet in series of joint de-
bates preferably in each Congressional district
Senator Shipstead has declined to meet Mr..
Nelson stating in his decination in effect that the
people of Minnesota know where stand
The Herald has read diligently interviews with
Mr.. Shipstead in the daily press for some announce
ment from him to whether he would support Mr..
Hoover Mr.. Smith for President.
When Mr.. eastman, Democratic candidate, with
drew from the senate recently the charge was
apparently we'll founded that deal made be-
tween the Democrats and Mr.. Shipstead in the
hope that the move would bolster up both of their
chances of carrying the State. The Senator de-
MED any collision but in his St. Paul speech Co...
Smith said some very nice things about Mr.. Snip
stead.
Mr.. Shipstead can only be elected United
States senator from this state by receiving thous
ands of Republican votes. He could make his cleo
ton much more certain if he declared for Mr. Hoov-
er. He states that the Presidential campaign does
not concern him. He isn't interested in any
but Shipstead.
There are many in the State who would like
lief, the 18th amendment and several other of the
important issues. joint debate would give him
a fine opportunity to clarity the situation.
In his letter to Mr.. Shipsteai Mr.. Nelson has
been eminently fair leaving the dates of the meet
ngs and the place of the debates to the selection of
Mr.. Shipstead
With the Senator's decination one is forced to
the conclusion that he is afraid to meet Mr.. Nelson

ample opportunity to judge which is best fitted to
serve Minnesota in the United States Senate

Freeborn roads are no worse
than those of other counties. In
fact, it has many fine roads. The
incident is merely typical of many
coming into headquarters of the
gasoline tax amendment commit
tee, now that the fight for the
amendment has focused attention
on the plight of the secondary
roads and the way many of them
retard the development of the
towns and cities throughout the
state that depend upon country
districts.
Oscar A. Swenson, of Nicollet,
a member of the state committee
working for the gas tax amend
ment, contributed one of these in
cidents.
81 went to an auction sale out
along one of the trunk highways"
he said. Motorists were spinning
along the trunk highway at 40 and
so miles an hour. A farmer liv-
ing up the side road near this place
was hauling grain to market. The
mud was so deep on the side road
that he couldn't get through with
the truck alone. So he hired man
with team of mules to help him.
This man would help pull the load
down to the trunk road and then
wait there for the man to come
back from town."
Otto C. Neuman, Wheaton,
president of the Greater Minnesota
Association, in urging passage of
the amendment this week said that
"the secondary roads are the very
life blood of the towns and cities
in the country districts" and sug-
gested that commercial clubs and
civic organization in the cities join
! in supporting the amendment
