Osage RdmcheEs to
Hold Meet in June

PAWHUSKA, OKLA.-The 10th
annual convention of the Usage Cat
tlemen's association, an event
known throughout the Southwest,
has been scheduled for June 81 ana
%, it has been announced by Cart
ner Drummond, president of the as
sociation.
Held in the heart of a famous
bluegrass pastureland, the meeting
will feature barbecue and cow
boy dance. This year a large at
tendance is expected when cattle
men from several surrounding
states will hear experts on modern
ranching methods.
There is one fly in the ointment,
however, and President Drummond
is scratching his head for an an
swer. With a much larger at
tendance than ever before expected,
finding sufficient accommodations
is developing into a major problem.
The hospitality of this community
has never failed in the past, and
Drummond is banking on the neigh
borliness of Pawhuska more than
ever, he admits. Anyway. cattlemen
can bunk most any place if they
have to, Drummond states.

Wan of Thin DIALECTS

Cy Murphy brought home gent
with a terrific Irish accent, and Cy's
young daughter, who had never
heard such, inquired of her dad
how come he talked that way, at
which Cy explained that it was a
brogue.
A little later the daughter was
playing with a friend, who also
heard the visitor speak and asked
what kind of talk that might be.
"Oh, don't you know" shifted
young Miss Murphy somewhat
scornful like. He's talking brogan
Irish"

Indian Fighter
Dies at Tulsa;
His Age, 105

TULSA, OKLA.-During his life,
six wars were fought. He knew per-
sonally such historical characters as
General Custer, Geronimo, the In
dian Apache chief, and Jesse James,
the outlaw. He recently died here
at the age of 105.
William Franklin Knight, who OBJ
served his 105th birthday last Feb
ruary II, was born on steamboat
at Louisiana, Mo. He went to Tex
as in 1866 as an advance guard for
stage coaches. Later he rode for
the Wells-Fargo express from st.
Louis west.
He was wounded four times by
bullets and once when Comanche
Indians pierced his neck with ar
rows. In September, 1870, after the
Comanches had burned telegraph
wires between the two cities. Knight
rode from Fort Worth to Ell Paso,
carrying government messages. He
used 33 horses on the trip and slept
only two hours during the five days
it took.
In the early seventies, when buf-
falo roamed the southwest plains
country, Knight shipped as many as
10000 buffalo hides at one time to
eastern markets.
Knight moved to Tulsa in 1918 and
was employed by local transfer
company. He worked until he was
SO years Of age before retiring. He
kept house for himself until forced
to enter a convalescent home be-
cause of infirmities. No immediate
relatives have been located.
The midland journal., 1946-05-17

Because OF that situation, the
lawmakers, Sen. Lister Hill of Ala
bama and Rep. Emily Taft Doug
las of Illinois, have introduced iden-
tical bills simultaneously in the
house and senate calling for annual
federal grants of $4,000 to each
state for use of state library asso-
Citations in rural areas.
The bill also empowers states to
provide additional funds up to
maximum of $50,000 annually for
such work, which the federal gov
ernment would match.
While no federal control or ad-
ministration is involved, annual re-
ports would be called for and states
would qualify for funds by prepar-
ing plans and submitting them to
the United States commissioner Of
education.
The statistics show there are 586
counties without any public library
service. The greatest number, $50
counties, are in Texas. Kentucky
is second with So counties with no
library, and Louisiana and Missis-
sippi are third, with IS counties
each.
In only II states does every coun-
ty have a public library. They are
Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Oregon,
Rhode Island and Vermont.

100000 Pounds Of Sugar
Burn, 100000 Saved
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. -Ap-
proximately 100000 pounds of
raw sugar was safe today because
of the combined efforts of the New
Orleans Fire Department and six
fire tugs.
A fire at the docks of the Amer
lean Sugar Refinery at nearby
Arab, famed by a high wind,
spread along the company's docks
and caused damage estimated by
N. B. Scott, plant manager, at
100000. Mr.. Scott said about
10000 pounds of raw sugar were
destroyed and that only quick work
by firemen saved the $4,000, 600
pounds in a nearby warehouse.
Fire Chief Howard Dey said the
refinery proper was not damaged
and that work probably would be
resumed within week. Mr.. Scott
said, however, the refinery's $780,
600 pounds capacity probably would
not be reached for at least 18
months.

out their responsibilities under the
new powers which came to them
through the elections.
The country, of course, is first

we should and must continue the
nonpartisan approach to our for
eign relations problems. Our for
eign policy program should be made
and kept clear in the minds of the
people"
Stand Praised by Brewster.
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine called the Presidents state
ment great" and worthy of the
Office that he holds. He shows that
he is an American before he is a
Democrat. I am sure he will find
that Republicans will meet him in
the same spirit and with the same
objective in mind, the welfare of
the Nation rather than any partisan
advantage"
Republican Party leaders will dis

tiles in Congress at a meeting here
