RoRB ELECTED DIRECTOR.
Oklahoma Got One of Eight Directors
in National Body.

Guthrie, o. T., Oct. 12-Ex-Mayor Jim
Robb of Kingfisher was a visitor in the
city today, en- route home from Mime
apolis, Mimi, where he attended the
annual session of the National Grain
Dealers association. There were 900 del
egates present, representing every state
in the union and Canada. Matters of
vast Importance to millers everywhere
were discussed.
Mr. Robb, as usual. secured honors for
himself and Oklahoma, being elected one
of the eight directors OF the national
association, a great honor for Oklahoma
when il is considered that the board
consists of but eight members. This
board selects the place of meeting next
year. If held in the north the meeting
will occur at Buffalo, but if elsewhere
then it win be at New Orleans, Mem
phis or Mobile. The grain men feel that
the south and southeast especially need
educating in their lines of business and
for that reason the next meeting will
likely go to the south.
Mr.. Robb says the matter of arbitra-
ton is. the most important thing now
before the association. The arbitration
committee mas 10 dttend 10 all matters
of dispute between members Of the as
sociation and this saves many law suits.
If q member refuses to arbitrate, then
he is 'blacklisted, that is, no other
member of the association will do bus
mess with him until he squares" HIM
self.
Mr.. Robb will soon move to Guthrie
to live He has secured a location on
West Noble avenue for an immense ele-
vator and storehouse and will embark
in the grain business here on large
scale. central point for Oklahoma and
