On a morning a few weeks later, Rusty stood on the ranch housi veranda and watched the sun's approach over the Nopocos.

Uncle Jed ambled out after hot.

LAGOS, Nigeria, Sept. 24-(0?) -Imaginative African village boys. capitalizing on American regard for exotic titles, are living thc life of Riley in the United tntes on the strrcnoth of nothing more than an assumed princely rank, a con- vincing talc of fabulous wealth and a Etiropean-matle suit.

West African villages have heard .wlth amusement and delight of state-educated village youths who offended banquets in Washington. 'kepl; notable citizens waiting and wore stove-pipe hats at the table like crowns.

An enterprising young Nigerian lwho recently visited America. vcstcd himself with the title of ‘Prince’, claimed to be ruler of the “Kingdom of Nnewi", and gave an ginterview to Afro-American maga- zine. _

In the interview the "Prince" said his family had ruled for 600 years, during which time they had produced l3 kings. Both his father and grandfather were said to have hztri nearly 500 wives, and the nally cctst of supporting the household was in thc region of £1.000 ($6,000). ‘The father's fortune was estimat- cd at £125.000.000.
