Shining Example of
Art “Made to Order”
A painter in Raphael's or Rubens’
time, must have been a singularly 1n-
artistic person, judged by modern
standards. He generally began his
«career as an apprentice, grinding col
ors and stretching canvases or pre-
paring panels for some eminent em-
iployer. Later, he was allowed to work
‘on the less important portions of his
imaster’s works, and still later, he
lopened a studio of his own. But he
l@idn’t call it a studio. It was a shop,
{equipped to turn out art by the piece
or on time, Its proprietor was ready
‘and willing to furnish whatever was
{wanted, from a sign for another shop
{to the ceiling of a chapel. His main
concern was to please his customers,
‘make as much money as possible, and
‘turn out a good job. And because
|self-expression, in its only true sense,
/is almost as involuntary a process as
the growth of a man’s hair or the col-
toring of his eyes, he managed, in the
icourse of a busy life, to stamp his
work with an individuality before
fwhich we still stand in admiration.
{Haydn ground out over a hundred
{symphonies because his chief job, un-
‘der Prince Esterhazy, was to: furnish
symphonies; Bach wrote his church
cantatas because he would have lost
this job if he hadn’t. Mozart wrote
his Requiem mass because a customer
«came along who wanted one. Shake-
speare wrote his plays because the
‘stock company he was working for
needed things to act.—Vanity Fair
Magazine.
Embroidery Art Goes
Far Back in His ory
The making of embroidery was an
established industry in China cen-
turies before the visit of Marco Polo.
The earliest extant specimen is as
signed to the Ilighth century, but
it is certain that this art was fol-
lowed at a very much earlier date.
The impermanence of the materials
used is alone responsible for the non-
existence of very ancient Chinese em-
broidery.
Embroidery made in China for the
western market en Luropean patterns
is a recent development, having been
first introduced and fostered by the
missionaries about thirty years ago.
Certain kinds of embroidery the Chi-
nese have not as yet duplicated, such
as those of Madeira and Cyprus, al-
though reports trom Madeira indicate
that several houses there have turned
their attention to China as a field for
future production.—New York Times.
Explaining the Wind
The blowing of the wind is owing
to the presence of more air at one
place than at others. This causes a
push from the places of more air to-
ward those of less, and the greater
this difference in quantity of air the
greater the push, and the faster the
winds. Now, it is difference in tem-
perature that causes the difference in
the accumulation of air; in March the
difference in temperature between the
southern and northern portions of the
United States is greater than at any
other time of the year, hence the dif-
ference in atmospheric pressure be-
tween these regions is then greatest and
the resulting winds strongest. These
winds are not mainly north and south,
as the pressure is, but from west to
east. This is owing to the effect of
the rotation of the earth, in a way
fully understood, but not capable of
brief explanation.
Artificial Lace
There is no weaving employed in the
production of artificial lace. The mman-
ufacturing is done by a machine, which
consists in its essential parts of a re-
ceptacle containing a cuproammoniacal
solution of cellulose, a metallic cylin-
der upon which is engraved the nega-
tive of the design and a coagulation
vat. A rotary motion is given the
cylinder, over which flows the solu-
tion, which, entering the interstices of
the engraved pattern. fixes itself imme-
diately in the coagulative liquid, out
of which emerges the texture ready to
be dyed and dressed. Artificial lace is
both beautiful and unalterable. It will
wear well and is less combustible than
ordinary lace and is waterproof.
Try This for Amusement
Here is a little problem to try when
you are lonesome. It is more than
odd and interesting. Set down these
figures—1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9, leaving out
8. Choose one of these figures and
multiply it by 9. Then multiply
12345679 by the result. To your sur-
prise the final result will be made of
nothing but the first figure chosen.
For example, suppose you choose fig-
ure 5. Multiplying 5 by 9 gives 45.
Multiplying 12345679 by 45 gives
855555555. And no matter which
figure is chosen to begin with the
final result will always contain 9
duplicates.—Pathfinder Magazine,
No Splinters
Little four-year-old Tommie, with
his parents, was spending the week-
end at the home of his aunt and uncle,
The aunt, who is an excellent cook,
had prepared a number of appetizing
dishes, among them a delicious pud-
ding flavored with coconut. When
the Sunday evening lunch was being
served, Tommie said in a low voice
to his mother:
“] don't want any more of that
pudding with splinters in it."
21 | The Farmer Finds
Gov. Smith | A Real Champion

Governor Smith's speech on the
farm question at Omaha, has set thas
western prairies on fire with enthu-
siasm for the Democratic candidate.
That in Governor Smith the farmers
have at last found a champion who is
jumping into the fight for agricultural
country that no
stone will be left
unturned to give
«immediate and || justice on their side is the keynote of
adequate farm re- |' al] unbiased comment coming from
lief. or» the Western states.
3 li Governor Smith went to Omaha, in |
ale (isousr) the heart of America’s great, farming
empire, to tell the farmers that he is
enough ~ farmers 4 :
out of business to prepared immediately on election to
pull down the
of agricultural legislation they have
been vainly demanding from the Re-
publicans for the past eight years.
The response to this offer of friend-
ship and action has been electric.
The people who till the soil and
: supply the nation with its fooa are
now assured that if Governor Smith
is elected they will see the standard
of “Equality for Agriculture” hoisted
to the flagstaff of the White louse.
They are expressing their enthusiasm
in no uncertain terms.
Especially telling has been the con-
trast drawn between Governor Smith's
pledges for the farmer and Herbert
Hoover's policy of evasion. Hoover's
' hostility to Agriculture has been well
. known ever since his days as war-time
Food Administrator. Now as Repub-
lican candidate he is trying desperate-
ly hard to cover up his bad past rec-
ord, but his heart remains the same as
before, and his only plan to solve the
problem of the surplus crop is to:
starve the farmers out until there is
no more surplus.
On such cruel and unjust policies,
Governor Smith has turned his back.
He offers the farmer prosperity and
equality through the McNary-Haugen
principles and the farmers are show-
ing that they know him now as their
surplus crops.
The way he wants to relieve the
farmer is to destroy him.

Mr. Hoover, as the chief adviser of
the last two administrations, upon the
subject of agriculture, assumed a direct
responsibility for the hostility and in-
action of the Administration, and con-
tinues to assume the responsibility by
his fulsome indorsement of the record
of Coolidge policies.

Haw! Farmer’s Friend
Biological survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture
points out that some hawks are highly
beneficial to the farmer, preying al-
most entirely upon small mammals,
such as mice, ground squirrels and
rabbits. Fcod of other hawks consists
chiefly of birds. The bird eaters
should be killed at every opportunity,
but it is equally important that the
others be spared, for they destroy
many small animal pests of the farm-
er. The bird-cating hawks include the
Cooper hawk, and the sharp-shinned

Governor Smith.

said:
“The nomination of Herbert Hoover,

It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moulding wall
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,

‘My life is cold, and dark and dreary;
It rains and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moulding

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
