Mr.. Moe, besides being pioneer
"sodbuster," one of those who Wis
Toned the plains of Northeastern
Montana, as fields of waving grain,
when the old ranchers, the cattle
raisers laughed at him and his
dreams, was a pioneer in political
thought: he was of the type that
took nothing for granted but ex-
plored and tested everything-in
short he was not bound by chains
of tradition, or convention, but was
always willing to mark new paths,
to seek now for something better
than what is-in other words, he
was a progressive in all things.
He was always identified with and
in the forefront of any movement
for the betterment of the farmers
and the workers, and in this he was
actuated by no motive for immedi-
ate or personal gain, but only ask
ed his share of a common benefit.
Nels Peter E. Moe as a man and
a citizen was an example.
The fine qualities of character
which distinguished him as a man
among men, he transmitted to his
sturdy sons and daughters, which
was further nurtured by his teach
ings and example. and though Mr..
Moe did not die rich in the materi-
al things of this world, he was
truly wealthy in the honor of his
neighbors, and the treasure of q
splendid family - probably the
greatest asset man can accumulate
in this mundane sphere.

The WASHINGTON SCENE
By LAWRENCE TODD. Federated Press

Washington = (FP)-President
Hoover, through his weekend mot
or trips to the high mountains of
western Virginia, has discovered
that there are thousands of illit-
crate, poverty-stricken, pitifully
uncivilized and helpless people of
AnglO-SaxOn stock, living in the
hills within 100 or 200 niles of
the nations capital. Newspaper
men have invaded some of these
'hollows" of the Blue Ridge and
Smokes, and have found families
that opposes neither kitchen uten-
sis nor chairs, nor any knowledge
of the world five miles from their
mud-plastered log cabins.
Having come in contact with
the rude facts as to this poverty
at the back door of the centre of
government, Hoover has held a
conference with one "Pa" Burra-
ker, a mountain man, whose illit-
crate son presented the President
with an oppossum. They decided
to form a school district in the
neighborhood of the Hoover fish
camp, and TO raise $1,000 to S1,4OO
to build and equip a school and
hire a teacher for the coming
year. There has been no school in
this section of the hills for many
years past. Virtually the whole
population is today unable to read
or write. Not only that, but the
most primitive sanitary precautions
are unknown, health-protection is
as foreign as Paris, and little
children are taught by their moth
ers to chew tobacco habit cult
waited by women and girls of all
ages, just as it is by men and
boys. What distressed some Oh
the newspaper reporters almost as
much as the lack of cleanliness in
these fetid abodes of darkness was
the fact that few of the mountain
GERS had ever seen the American
flag, heard the Star Spangled Ban
ner, or heard of the federal gov
eminent.

and far away from horse and mule
men. The latter have
a way of convincing vendors OF
horseflesh that their animals are
full of feathers thus giving them
an inferiority complex. Be that
as it may, Mr.. Foley of Raymond,
is today mourning the passing of
the horse as a mans best friend.
He's ready to tie that tag on the
dog.
"A man would be just as gain
fully occupied raising the devil as
raising horses these days" said
Foley ruefully as he began to tell
the story in the office of The Pro-
ducers News. He was smoking a

While millions of families IN
other parts of the country were
ndulging in Labor picnic outings
mostly by aid of automobiles
Hoover was trying to figure out
the end of his private experiment
IN tackling ignorance, backward
ness poverty and lack of mental
development in just one obscure
corner of the hills. Should he pay
for the first years schooling of
say twenty children, and then let
the hill people handle their own
problem hencefOrth? Or, having

led them to start an experiment in
trying to catch up with the out
side world, should he go ahead
with a long-period program that
would see these children through
eight or ten grades of public school
work? And what then? And what
about the million or so of other
mountain whites in the South,
equally illiterate and only slightly
advanced over these helpless hui
man animals? The president of
and for Millionaires" had a very
serious morning.
1t is not to be anticipated that
Herbert Hoover will change his
lifelong habit of looking upon the
world as very good, and upon com
petition between the weak and the
strong as the finest insurance of
progress. That these mountain
strays are victims OF social forces
such as the greed of railway pro-
motors, landowners and merchants.
that have driven the weaker hu-
mainly to their secret hollows in
the mountains, will never occur 10
his mind. Private enterprise that
has kept rail transportation for
the richer territory, and that has
brought the better lands into the
ownership of the strong, and has
taken high profit from trading
with people too simple to bargain
well-this private enterprise has
walled these victims up in the high
hills like SO many animals driven
from their natural hamts. Too
poor to buy even spoons and forks
and plates, they have degenerated
toward the habits and then toward
the mental level of the wild things
about them.
But for more than a generation
past the profit-makers have been
solving this problem more surely
than Hoover with his one-room
schoolhouse on the Rapidan will
ever solve it. Mill owners have
been drawing off the less degener-
ate elements to the mill towns
first as strikebreakers or as docile
laborers, and then as recruits for
mills where STRINGS of industrial
unrest have begun Slowly the il
llterate have learned to receive
ideas as to hours and wages, as to
better housing and clothes and civ
illzed conduct. They have learned
to eat good food for the first time,
and they have formed tht first ele-
ments of human dignity in pro-
test at the refusal of the mill own
ers to pay them enough so that
they can be fed and clothed. The
L mills are schooling them.

What makes Mr.. Foley think that
the horse and mule men of st.
Louis, Illinois, did not do the right
thing by him is the fact that the
horses marked in the above
schedule refused 500 here, or TO
be more exact that Mr.. Foley re-
fused to accept 500 each for them
in Raymond and turned down $50
for the gray mare which was sold
in st. Louis for S25.

Paul " McNutt national commander
of the American Legion, recently re-
ceived a check for $4,000 from Mrs
Boyce Ficklen, jr.. national president OF
the American Legion Auxiliary, which
represented 100000 dimes collected
from auxiliary members throughout the
country to aid in the legions work for
the rehabilitation of disabled World
War veterans.
Commander McNutt explained the
money would be used to enlarge the
service which the legion is giving the
disabled men in aiding them to estab-
lish their rights to benefits under the
Federal veterans laws.
The largest membership increase ever
recorded by the American Legion AuXil-
larry was shown on the books at ma
tional headquarters of the organization
following the close of its two big
national membership competitions of
the year. The increase totaled 55,24l
members over the same date last year,
a gain of more than 20 per cent.
The phenomenal growth of the auxil-
larry in the District of Columbia gave
the District first place in the legion
and auxiliary cooperative Kentucky
larry gain in the District of Columbia
amounted to 544.93 per cent, putting
the District far out in front of Hawaii,
which finished second in this race, and
Kentucky, which finished third.
In the Auxiliary Sweepstakes" in
which the auxiliary departments COM
peted alone, Alabama captured first
place with 1862 per cent of its 1929
quota enrolled. Wyoming was second
across the wire with 1868. and Michi-
gan finished third with 105.28. Fol-
lowing the three leaders closely came
North Dakota with 104.12, Panama with
IUOUS, Will 1OGoO,
with 101 50, South Carolina with 10l 90,
Delaware with 100 and Vermont with
1888. To win the first prize, Alabama
came up from twenty-f1fth to first place
in the last week of the competition.
At the close of the competitions the
auxiliary needed only 10000 more mem
bers to pass its highest previous men,
bership record and auxiliary leaders
were confident that the record would
soon be exceeded.
A special meeting of the members Of
the u. S. S. Jacob Jones, Jane A De-
lano and Belleau Woods Posts will be
held for the purpose of the visitation
of the department of the District of
Columbia officers, at 1926 Massachusetts,

For some time a non-synthetic

CURE FOR ANEM|A

Munich Chemist Makes Syn

II Years.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MUNICH. June 1.-The recent pro-
duction synthetically for the first time
of haemin. the principal constituent of
red color In blood, has stirred medical
circles in Germany with hope for flu
ture accomplishment.
Haemin carries iron to the tissues.
1t also carries the indispensable oxygen,
without which higher organisms cannot
live. 1t is one of the most important
of all elements in animal vitality.
Still Theoretical.
The synthesis was achieved after II
years of endeavor by DR.. Hans Fischer,
professor of chemistry at the Munich
Polytechnic. While for the moment the
discovery is considered of purely theor-
etical value, Prof. Fischer and many
other German scientists see in the syn
thetic production valuable means of
enlightenment on the chemical COM
position of haemin.
Many believe that Fischer's synthesis
may pave the way to determining a
remedy or cure for anemia and for
carbon monoXide poisoning. Anemia is
caused by diminution of haemin in
the red blood corpuscles. The gas
poisoning is caused by carbonic acid

chemical groups known as porphyrins.
Fischer and his assistant found vari-
Gus synthetic methods for making such
of the porphyrins as are most closely
allied to haemin. Then they produced
a deutero-po rphyrin to which acetyl
was added. Acetyl is chemical of the
alcohol group. After tht acetyl step
the desired haemin ultimately was de-
rived.
