Anna Roosevelt Boettiger.
Mrs. Roosevelt and the childs
father, John Boettiger, both talked
to the President and he happily an

scoop"
In one of four informal speeches en-
route here-at Auburn, home Of Ala

Roosevelt expressed amazement at
all that needs to be done In the
future to conserve the soil OF the
South" and asserted much remained
to be done to get the South out OF

He advocated establishment Of new
enterprises in the South to turn out
products needed in this region.
II would like to live long enough
to see the products of factories sup

said.
Declaring when he first came to

Piles, meat and shoes that originated
in the North and West, he went on to
say there wasn't very much change
in that system of economy until about
six years ago. 1t was then we be-
gan to ask ourselves, Why is all this
necessary?'
Balanced Economy.
Il think that we have done more
in those six years than in the previ-
Gus so years all through these South
ern States to make them self-sup-
porting, to give them a balanced
economy that will spell a higher
wage scale, a greater purchasing
power and a more abundant life
than they have had in all their his

But, said the President, much re-

Students' Responsibility.
The President said the students
had great responsibility to devise

own lifetime"
II have been called an imaginative
person, an experimenter, seeker Of
new ideals and, generally, when I

Stressing the need for soil con-

students he had been talking about
land with Gov. Frank NJ. Dixon,
Senator Lister Hill and Represent
alive Henry B. Steagall Of Alabama
en- route to Auburn from Tuskegee.
Il have been Mortified, as always

ing to school in Ohio when the Civil
war broke out. She Immediately
asked for passage through the Union
lines to Tennessee and was refused.
Sc, when the Union flag was first
raised on the school grounds, she
shot every star out of it, one by one.
The results were immediate and
most favorable-she was expelled
from school and sent home to Mem
phis, which was just exactly what
she wanted.
She was not only a good marks
woman-she was pretty and self
confident. Her beauty and other
charms enabled her to become en-
gagged to l6 young Confederate army
recruits. all at the same time. This
wasn't very honest, she admitted
years later, but it made the young
soldiers feel good and didn't make
her feel bad.
AS the war went On, Gen. Sterling
Price appointed her special agent
and she carried dispatches and
other information back and forth
from Union to Confederate territory.
Several times she was arrested by
Northern soldiers, being acquitted
on one occasion but found guilty and
served short sentences on others.
She was the only Confederate
woman spy whose unusual career
did not end with the war or with
spying. At the age of rs she be-
came movie actress in Hollywood.
She appeared with Pola Negri and
Mary Miles Minter and other prom
inent stars before her death in
Greenwich Village at the age of 81.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Elmo Scott " atson
The Redoubtable
Mime. La Conpt

IN THE year 1884 daughter was
born to the La Flammes, a
French family living at st. Joseph
on Lake Michigan. While she was
still little girl, her parents moved
to Mackirac and there she grew up
and married her first husband,
Pilette de Sainte Ange.
In 1865 Sainte Ange took his wife
to the site of the future city of Chi
cago where they lived for several
years. After a time she became ia
miliar with the language Of the
PottaWatomies and other tribes,
studying their character and acquir-
ing great influence over them.
When Sainte Ange died, his widow
moved to the French village of Ca
hokia on the Mississippi. She soon
married again, this time to a Ca
madam named La Compt. During
the Revolution, the Cahokia villag-
ers, whom George Rogers Clark had
won to the American cause, were
in constant danger of attack by the
Indian allies of the British, as were
the American settlers in the early
days of the Territory of Illinois.
Many times Nine. La Compt
was awakened in the dead of night
by Indian friends who urged her to
seek safety in st. Louis. But, in
stead of fleeing, Nine. La Conpt in
variably set out alone to meet the
hostiles and diSsuade them from
their purpose. Sometimes she
stayed with them for days before
she succeeded. More than once the
fearful villagers of Cahokia, armed
and ready for an attack, saw a
strange procession coming out of
the woods-a band of warriors with
their war-paint freshly washed
away and humbly obeying the or
ders given them by the tall white
woman marching ahead of them!
After rearing a large family Of
children, Nine. La Compt was wild
owed again. Again she was mar
ried, this time to an American
named Tom Brady. She outlived
him for 80 years and died in Ca
hokia in 1843 at the age of 100 years.

A Monument to Failure

T ONG'S PEAK, the highest in Col
IL orado, is not only a memorial
to its first American discoverer,
Maj. Stephen H. Long, of the En-
gineers Corps of the United States
army, but it is also a monument to
a great failure.
In 1919 the United States govern
ment was preparing to send great
army into the Upper Missouri coun-
try to establish a military post to
protect and extend the fur trade.
The expedition was also expected to
add to the scientific knowledge of
the West and Major Long was di-
rected to take with him a group Of
scientists for this purpose.
With a small and inadequately
supplied force, he crossed the plains
to the base of the Rockies and spent
some time exploring that region.
When he returned he made a re-
port that was destined to become
famous for its inaccuracies. I'm re-
gard to this extensive section of
the country" he wrote, I'VE do not
p hesitate in giving our opinion that
it is almost wholly unfit for cultiva-
ton, and of course uninhabitable by
a people depending upon agriculture
for their subsistence.
More than any other man, per-
haps, he was responsible for fixing
upon the maps of the United States
of that time the words The Great
American Desert" and those words
retarded development of that coun-
try for nearly half a century.
