According to the law of North Dakota, each brand wat good for ten positions. They were the jaw, neck, shoulder, ribs and hip five position posi-tion on each tide of the animal. It wa not uncommon for a North Dakota stockman to buy all positions so that he could brand his stock at he pleased. Otherwise, nine other men could nse the tame brand In other positions, thus causing endless confusion. The number and variety of brands In the cattle cat-tle country Is almost Inconceivable. For Instance, In-stance, a total of more than 8,500 brands have been recorded In Montana, since 1878 and It la said that 6,000 were In active nse within recent years. Records of the Texas Cattle Raisers' association asso-ciation showed more than 8,000 registered brands In nse In that state a few years ago and In Colorado Colo-rado there were more than 4,200. But despite this multiplicity of markings the old-time cattleman and the brand Inspectors stationed sta-tioned at the stockyards In the leading cattle market could read the various brands and Interpret In-terpret them at easily as a stenographer can read and Interpret the pothooks and other sym bols In the shorthand system. More than that, they spoke a language, a phonetic tongue, albeit, which wa all but unintelligible to the uninitiated. uniniti-ated. Philip Asbton Rollins In bis classic of western life, "The Cowboy," writes of this as follows : "He would know that 4-28 meant Four Bar Twenty-eight since a hyphen always wa called a 'bar' ; that, because a capital letter of sire was commonly termed 'big,' the brand 'A2 was translatable trans-latable Into Big A Two ; that because a letter or flgnre lying on Its side waa termed lazy,' a prone letter 'm underscored waa the Lazy M Bar. This person would know also that, because a ring was dubbed a 'circle,' a letter 'g enclosed within a ring wa the Circle 0; that because a circle's arc waa, according to It length, designated as a quarter, "half or 'three-quarter' circle, a scant bit of curve followed by a letter T was the Quarter Circle R, and that, because anything looking like a diamond or even It cousin was called 'diamond,' a figure 5' within a lozenge should be Interpreted as Diamond Five. This person wonld know alto that any parallelogram, regardless of th ration between It length and height wa a block' or "box or a 'qure,' which ever It owner cared to term It; that the faintest resemblance to a pair of wing gave the prenx flying to that the numeral V between two mls-ahanen mls-ahanen bulges wa th Flying Nine, and that other designs were attempted pictures and should be entitled Broken Pipe, Sombrero, spur, nit Elk Horn, Two Star, Wheel and whatever.

So Important wa the branding Iron to the cattle Industry that a few year ago the state whose proeperlty wa built upon me c.- uu A.MavericK ness hit upon the unique Idea of "branding" a new half-mlllion-dollar classroom building at Its state university with the symbol of It greatest Industry. Accordingly Garrison hall at the unl versify of Texas now bears on It walla 83 cat tie brands which helped make Texa history. As a preliminary to this Idea, E. W. Winkler, university uni-versity librarian,, examined more than 20,000 cat tie brands which were used at one time or an other In that state and from this number selected the 32 which were to be engraved on the white stone walls of the new classroom building as representative of tome step In the progress of Texas hfstory. There 1 a good tory connected with every one of them but outstanding among; them are: the "Austin Spanish" brand of Stephen F. Aus tin, "the Father of Texas"; the Four Slxe of S. B. Burnett which resulted from his winning a large ranch In a poker pnme In which he held "four of a kind"; the D brand of A. H. (Shang hal) Fierce, who drove cattle from Matagora county on the gulf and whose steer were known from the Rto Grande to the Canadian line as "Shanghai Pierce' sea lions"; the XTT brand, generally known a "Ten In Texa," of the Capl tol Land Syndicate whose holding covered ten counties and Included three million acre, given fn payment for the state capl tol building at Aus tin, the Lazy S of C C. Slaugnter wnich adorned more than 12,000 cattle a year In the trail-driving period after the Civil war; the JA brand of Charles Goodnight, owner or ne lamous uooa- nicht ranch, home of the Goodnight herd of buf falo, and experimenter In crossing- cattle and buffalo to produce the "catalo" and last but not least the MK brand of S. A Maverick, the cattleman cattle-man who paradoxically became famous not be cause of a brand but because or lacs of one and whose name became a common noun to the American Amer-ican language. For "maverick" la a word found In all dlctlonarie, defined by the eminent Dlc-tlonaire Dlc-tlonaire Webster a "an unbrandedTlnlmal, esp. a motherless calf, formerly customarily claimed by the first one branding It and "mavericklng" I a recognized legal term for Illegal appropriation appropria-tion of unbranded cattle, Samuel A. Maverick, a p-aduate of Tal college col-lege in the class of 1825, was one of the founder foun-der of Texa Independence and a member of the congress of the Republic of Texa la 1845. The exact details of how his name came to be perpetuated In a common Western word are somewhat disputed. One account .state that a neighbor who owed Maverick a debt of 8400 paid it off by giving him 1.2O0 head of longhorn cattle, cat-tle, whereupon Maverick turned them over to a family of negro alaves with the understanding they have the natural Increase of the herd. But these negroe were a shlftles aet and allowed the cattle that thus came to them to roam at will In the long grass along Matagorda bay. In a few year, there were hundreds of these unbranded cattle and people often asked "Whose cattle are theer to which th usual reply was, "They're Maverick'." As time went on the term "maverick" came to be applied to all unbranded cattle-they were not Samuel A. Maverick' cattle cat-tle they were Just mavericks, nobody cattle. Another account sayi that during the Civil war nearly all of Colonel Maverlcke employees entered the Confederate rmyo that hi cattle cat-tle ran wild and remained unhranded. So they were "Maverick's cattle" until, soma on also clapped his brand on them to make them bis own and gradually all strny cnrtle became "mavericks" "mav-ericks" Whatever the true rtory may have been, the fact remain that among all cattlemen who mleht be famou because thousand of cattl bore their brands, the most enduring fam cam to one whose cattle ent unbranded.

I was tested, along with a crowd of girls and what a test It proved to bet I was glad to get another script Job with an Independent company. where I worked 18 hours a day for $50 a week. One day Iran Kahn, the manager, came on the set "How would you like to sign a contract with meT' he asked. "Don't be silly," I replied. "Script girl don't need a manager." , But it seems he had seen my tests, and thought there wa a po- Biblllty I might get a contract I couldn't understand that la fact, I can't today. I thought they were terrible. Anyway, I signed a contract and atarted to starve off the extra weight I was carrying. Finally we went to First National atndlos. where I took a real test and got contract before I had acted a Blngle scene before a cam era. My first part waa with Milton Sills In "The Sea Tiger." After that picture, 1 went with several Independent companies. Then I was recalled to First National and entered en-tered a new contract From that time on It was easy. A starring contract came within a year. But don't think I haven't worked hard. Singing lessons, dancing lessons, learning dialogue It's Just hard work, and don't let anyone tell you different But It's worth while. Anything worth while Is worth working for.
