The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-06-07

State Normal School at Wayne, Ne
braska, says this is the first instance
since the days of Longfellow that an
entire volume of an American poet
has been published for schools. The
poem is already in use in states as
widely separated as Pennsylvania and
California as well as in. the middle
west.
Neihardt is western product, hav-
ing been born in Illinois, lived in
Kansas and Missouri in early boy
hood, and having completed his col
lege education and written his works
in Nebraska. He is passionately fond
of outdoor life, is fine swimmer and
hunter and has skill with tools. He
has lived for years among the Omaha
Indians in order to learn their lam
guage and customs that he might
make use of them in his poetry. Oma-
ha Indians have given him the name
THE Little Bull Buffalo" In 1908
Neihardt went up the Missouri river
to Fort Benton, the head of naviga-
ton, and made the long journey down
it in an open boat, and many of the
scenes passed are pictured in his
poetry.

SIXTEEN YEARS
WILL EXHAUST OIL
SUPPLY OF u. S.

Columbus, Ohio, June THE oil
supply of the United States will be
exhausted in 16 years. if present rates
of production are kept up. and no new
producing territory is discovered, it
is asserted by Professor John A. Bow
nocker, state geologist and professor
of geology at Ohio State University.
According to Professor Bownocker,
the United States has petroleum re-
serves amounting to six or seven bar
rels. The rate of production in 1920
was 440 million barrels a year. How
ever. this is thought to be the highest
mark production will reach, Bownock-
er said biologists believe. The pro
duction rate is expected to decline
this year.
Thus, Professor Bownocker points
out, this country actually can produce
oil for longer than sixteen years, but
at a constantly decreasing rate each
year.
More than GO per cent of the world S
oil supply is produced in the United
States. Much oil is imported here
from Mexico, second in oil production
but, Professor Bownocker declared, at
MeXicos present rate of production

two or three years. ,a. 81, r ..

NEBRASKA HAS
LEGALLY CHOSEN
POET LAUREATE
John G. Neihardt Officially APP
to Do the HOnOrs of His State
Deathless Verse

Lincoln, Neb. June 2.-Oficial rec.
ognitiOn of an American poet by a law.
making body came during the recent
session of the Nebraska legislature
when the Senate and House of Repre-.
sentatives passed joint and con-
current resolution naming John G.
Neihardt poet laureate of Nebraska.
This official action on the part of
the state was taken by way of recog-
niZing the significance of the Amer
lean Epic Cycle upon which Neihardt
has been working steadily for seven
years, and which William Stanley
Braithwaite, literary critic of the Bos-
ton transcript" has characterized as
"one of the profoundly notable and
one of the few original things in the
development of American poetry"
Two pieces of the Epic, THE Song
of Hugh Glass" and 1.-THE Song of the
Three Friends" have already ap-
peared. the latter having won .. the
prize of the Poetry Society for the
best volume of verse published by an
American in 1919 The author is now
working upon the third section of
the epic, THE Song of the Indian
Wars" which will be completed in
1928.
The entire collection when done
will consist of five pieces and the
completion of the task will require
more than decade of the life of the
poet. The epic deals wholly with the
materials of western history during
the first four decades of the nine
teenth century, and all the scenes lie
in the region between the Missouri
river and the Rocky Mountains.
Neihardt holds that this material
is as truly epic in its nature as were
the wars of the Greeks over Troy or
the adventures of Ulysses, and they
are infinitely more interesting to
Americans.
A school edition of 1.-The Song of
Hugh Glass" was published more than
a year ago, and is now in use in
many schools throughout the United
States. Prof. Julius T. House of the

to his work for two weeks. Walmer was
driving at the time of the accident.

ness or occupation for three months
or less. Had his injury kept him from
