DEDIEATIU Un the morning of August lo, 1935, America paused for one minute of eloquent silence, Radio net-worlfs throughout the nation offered up a moment of silent prayer as their announcers ceased speaking, The man on the street hushed his conversation The President in the Vtfhite House paused with bowed head. Gut on the prairie the cowboy quit whistling to the milling herd ,.,. flnd in all this land there was silence as through the minds of the nation's citizens ran the world embracing phrase, All l lcnow is what I read in the papers. fl great American had passed away gn view of his greatness and in consideration of the magni- tudinous memorials already dedicated to his lige, it is with prolound pride that the REDSKIN, an organ of his beloved state, can add something to keep alive the memory of WILL ROGERS

'Why-Sequoyah has promised to. Teach me the Cherokee alphabet-in three easy lessons. You know Se- quoyah has been traveling under an alias for a long time. His real name is George Guess and he used to sign his name by a mark but I'1l give him credit for fast work-he made his mark before he learned to Write. Well, folks, we 'got it all figured out, we are going to start a daily paper and call it Peace on Earth ' -all the boys have promised to-write a column. I'll let you in on a little gossip-they say that George Wash- ington is going to tell us how he got the itle Father of Our Country --he told the Editor that if things keep on like they have and we get into another war that 'he figures he will pull a Windsor on the gang and abdicate. pSa'y, my ltimefs up and .I promised Wiley I'jwoul'd. meet- him at the airport. to 'try ,outf his new: ship.
