that although the board has refused
to re-open hearings on the pro-

enough flaws i Franklin's propo-

PAWNEE. Okla.. Sept. 26—For '
many years one of the most pictur-
esque figures of pioneer life. MaJ.
Gordon W. Lillie (Pawnee Bill) is
now living in the midst of his
huge ranch following modern
scientific agricultural practices.
Running on the same farm as his
world famous bu-*:.lo herd are
flocks of goat$ three or fo c* hun-
dred mules and until recently a
large herd of highly bred short-
horn cattle.
After maintaining one of the best
Shorthorn herds in the southwest
for five years. Major Lillie disposed
of his stock ct a dispersion sale
and is now going into the dairy
cattle business. Ai the head of his
highly respected Shorthorn herd
was Princeton Enthusiast 1388368. a
bull which was purchased as a calf
from the Prince of Wales during
the summer of 1924.
Major Lillie's settling down and
raising pure bred livestock is a far
cry from his earlier activities. As
a pioneer in the youngest state of
the union and an internationally
known figure In the circus world
the major has traveled hundreds of
thousands of mi’ro over all the five
continents.
As the white chief of the Pawnee
Indian tribe a leader in conserva-
tion work—especially that phase of
it which has to do with the pre-
servation of buffaloes—and a genial
and generous ; osi. Pawnee Bill
has sc. es of nations'^ knows
guests each ye:. .
Born in Bloomington. 111. In I860
Lillie with *'* parents moved U>
Wellington Kan. in 1877.
The two outstanding features of
his 1 were first the call to ead-
ership and organisation of that fa-
mous boomers’ army that forced the
federal government to open the old
Oklahoma territory to settlement
and his leading part in preserving
the American buffalo herds from
total extinction.
Historians over and over have
told the epic story of pioneer spirit
that concentrated in Kansas during
the eighties r- ting hundreds of
determined land adventurers. Not
so many know that young Lillie
then only 28 years old. was called
by the stronc'st civic organizations
in Kansas to lead that army of
adventurers u> came Ut fce known
as the “Oklahoma Boomers."
Associated With Buffalo B: 1
In 1883 Pawnee BUI entered the
busincfs of the early day wild west
show. Two years later he became
associated with Buffalo Bill an as-
sertion whl:h extended over a
period of years.
In the latter years of his life
Major LUlle has taken the greatest
delight in raising his livestock pre
serving the buffalo and giving
friendly advice to the Indians who
regard him as a white father. He
has built a mud lodge and council
house out of native timbers which
is for the exclusive use of Indian
tribes. It Is the only remaining
structure of its kind on the Amer-
ican continent.

“Once I was worried.

I prepared many appetizing dishes
but John simply would not eat—just

times a little grouchy. 1 began to
fear he was *slipping.* IVkat was l

ness success—all depended upon an
improvement in his condition. The
blood tonic idea suggested itself to
me. My Druggist recommended SSS.
He told me that SSS. was a great
blood tonic; that it had been sue•
eessful for over 100 years; that it
was made from fresh vegetable drugs
and wcnld not harm the most deli-
cate system. Also that it would build
vp the blood and improve the proc-
esses by which the body is nour-
ished. 1 brought home a large size
bottle. John agreed to try it. IT ell
in just a few days 1 could see the
diference. Hit improvement has been
so rapid he is going to take several
