THANKS
FOR AMERICA

Americans have more to be than
kful for than any other people
| in the world. The most priceless
possessions of the human race are
personal liberty, religious freedom
social justice and the quality of
opportunity.
These priceless possessions are
swiftly being lost to millions of
people throughout the world. Our
own freedom and security are
threatened.
Two great forces, the forces of
good and the forces of evil, are
are now warning against each o.
Their. We are fighting for freedom
and democracy. We are fighting
for the security of our homes and
our firesides.
The issues involved are so great
that we must lay down our lives,
If necessary. The road ahead is
rough. War is terrible. We will
be asked to make many sacrifices.
We will have to work harder, lon
ger hours and live on less. We will
have to pay more taxes. We will
have to buy more bonds We will
have to give up more of our boys.
But victory is worth the price
we will have to pay. We must de-
fend America to the last man and
to the last woman. Let's do our
best.

'Puwnee Bill

An era in American history has
come to an end with the death OF
Major Gordon w. Lille, better known
as 'Pawnee Bill" He was the last
of the classic frontiersmen, the final
exponent of the legends of the old
Wild West. The traditions he strove
to preserve will pass with him, yet
such brave folklore is apt to be re-
discovered and so colorful and genial
a personality never can be altogether
lost
Born at Bloomington, Illinois, Feb
ruary IA, 1860, Major Lille was q
miller's son who followed his parents
to wellington, Kansas, in his boy
hood. There he grew up with a rife
in his hand, as natural a product of
the prairie as the buffalo he shot for
Trapper Tom Evans. In 1882 he
entered the employ Of the Indian
Service and shortly thereafter was
appointed interpreter at the agency
at Pawnee. It was by reason Of the
accident Of that designation that he
received the sobriquet by which he
later became universally famous.
The Oklahoma boomer" move
ment enlisted Major Lilies enthusi-
asm about 1888 and he was engaged
by the Wichita Chamber of Com
merce to lead q campaign for the
opening Of the Indian Territory to
white settlement. His part in the

land is obscure, but, however i'm
portant 1t may have been at the
moment, it brought him no property
Of his own. The ranch upon which
he spent his final years was pur-
chased from his earnings In the show
business. He was at first q partner,
later the successor Of Colonel william
Cody, called Buffalo Bill" by mil
lions of admirers. Washingtonians
saw both characters as central f1g-
ures In Wild West shows, q type
Of circus which was distinctively
their own. They made real that
portion of the country on the sun
set side Of the Mississippi. Dressed
in fringed suits Of white buck
skin, wearing >high-heeled boots
and ten-gallon hats, riding, roping,
trick-shooting, they Justified their
picturesque celebrity to the full. The
period to which they belonged may
have been merely "the horse and
buggy age" but its survivors protest
that It had values which unfortu-
nately have vanished from the tragic
epoch now prevailing.
