of Fine Art in Pittsburgh are seeking
to do for Pittsburgh what the Friends
of Fine Art movement promises for
the city of Lincoln.
Tho local canvass for membership
is in full swing, according to Nathan
Llebennan, business secretary, who la
in Immediate chargo of the captains.
Mrs. V. L. Greensllt. captain of the
Capitol school district team, reports
a carefully organized house to house
canvass on every block of the district.
"The patrons of Capitol school are
anxious to have more good original
pictures for their children," said Mrs.
Greenslit. "Our children are very en
thusiastic over the four fine originals
given to the schools by Friends of
Fine Art last year. No one can pos
sibly begrudge a dollar spent for pic
tures for the children of the city."
When asked how many children of
the schools get tho benefit of the
original paintings donated by Friends
of Fine Art, Supt. M. C. Lefler of the
city schools said: "Every child In
the grades will et to see and to ap
preciate these pictues. As soon as
more pictures are added to the collec
tion, we shall be able to increase the
opportunities for study and apprecia
tion. The children's eyes fairly dance
at every opportunity to study these
pictures and they almost shed tears
when for any cause the pictures fail
to reach their rooms according to our
regular schedule."
"It the parents knew how anxious
the children are for these pictures
and how much they come to love
them, they would all join the Friends
of art movement," declared Susie
Hoagland, art supervisor of the city
schools. "We are making good use of
the pictures and every time the chil
dren grow enthusiastic over them I
feel grateful that there is a Friend of
Fine Arts movement in Lincoln. It
mans more to the children and more
to the city than most persons imag
ine." "These children of ours deserve
the best," declared Adrian M. New
ens, president of the Friends of Fine
Art and director of the University
School of Music, "and we should be
glad to help get them the vehy best in
art. They are wild over these beau
tiful pictures. They love them. Why,
they fairly scream with delight in the
discovery of new beauties in these
pictures each time the exhibit is be
fore them."
"An essential part of good city
building is encouraging a love for the
eautiful through an appreciation of
the fine arts," declared Dr. IL B. Al
exander of the state university. "We
cannot do too much to bring to our
children in their earlier years the
very best in music, literature and
paintings.
"Lincoln will be a city beautiful
both inside and out when we develop
the Friends of Fine Arts movement
fully and provide a generous art mu
seum for the children of the public
schools," was the comment made by
George L. Towne of the University
Publishing company as he lent his
support to the movement. 41 am for
everything that makes Lincoln a big
ger, better, more beautiful city in
which to live and to rear children."
So goes the comment. Everywhere
are those who are anxious to promote
the good of the children of the city.
The membership campaign is in full
swing twenty captains, from as many
school districts, are having their com
mittees make house to house and
bolck to block canvesses. Any adult
citizen of Lincoln who is missed for
any reason may mail his membership
fee to the treasurer. Miss Harriet E.
Towne, office, of the board of educa
tion, who will at once send tickets for
the fees sent in.
Exhibit Open April 10
The annual art exhibit of Friends
of Fine Art will open Monday, April
10, in the Public Library and will con
tinue until May 1. Any child in the
city schools becomes a Fried of Fine
Art by paying a membership fee of
10c which entitles him to visit the
exhibit as often as be choses. Any
adult may become a Friend of Fine
Art by paying a membership fee of $1,
which likewise entitles him to all the
privileges of the exhibit. The art col
lection in the library will be so con
veniently located that business men
and business women can Blip in for
an enjoyable half hour after luncheon
and busy shoppers can step in for an
hour of enjoyment any time of the
day. The members of the board of
eduction, the Chamber of Commerce
and the City Principals' association
and the various civic, social and art
associations of the city have endorsed
this Friends of Fine Art movement to
secure the very best pictures for the
public schools of the city.
Miss May Pershing hu changed an
excellent program of brief, snappy
talks on the leading originals for the
Monday evening meeting under her
direction, leading patrons of the
Friends of Fine Art will hold a re
ception to visitors and friends.

A winter wheat condition of 80 per
cent which is below tho average for
this date, a ryo condition of 85 per
cent substantial increase In number
ot brood sows ana the farm labor
supply general exceeding the demand
aro t heloading statements in the
April crop reports released today by
Loo Stuhr, secretary of the Nebraska
department of agriculture, and A. E.
Anderson, statistician for the bureau
of markets and crop estimates.
The present wheat condition, SO
nor cent, which is 13 per cent below
last year and 5 per cent below the
ten-year average, forecasts a produc
tion ot 60.101,000 bushels. The bulk
of the crop has made better progress
than one would ordinarily expect un
der tho dry, unfavorable autumn and
winter weather, and further improve
ment is possible under favorable con
dition.
Tho present condition ot the wheat
crop in the eastern third of the state
is generally very satisfactory,, but
west of here and particularly in south
central Nebraska, more or less dam
age has been sustained. Here, stands
have been thinned out to varying ex
tents, and some abandonment is ex
pected. The crop is starting out with
the disadvantage ot being lae and
little reserve subsoil moisture. The
chance for the crop to recover de
pends largely upon such weather con
ditions as will favor tillering and give
the thinned stands an advance start
ot the weeds. Some of tho important
wheat counties in western Nebraska
were still short of moisture and the
condition is not promising. An esti
mate ot the abandonment will be made
next month.
Estimate 1,928,000 Bushels Rye
The condition of rye is S5 per cent
as compared to SS per cent last De
cember and the ten-year average of
91 per cent for this date. A possible
production of 1.92S.000 bushels is fore
casted by this condition. The final
estimate last year was 1,714,000 bu.
The number of brood sows has in
creased 10 per cent over the previous
year, the number being placed at
734,000 head as compared to 667.000
last year. The present corn reserves
and the relative prices of corn and
swine during the past winter seems
t ohave given considerable stimulus
t o&wine production. Reports on the
litters to date vary from severe losses
to highly satisfactory results.
The farm labor supply is 108 per
cent, as compared to last year and
103 per cent as compared to the nor
mal suor.lv for this date. The labor
demand is 91 per cent, as compared
to the normal demand. Correspond
ents report a general tendency toward
the elihinalion of hired farm labor as
far as practical. The relation of farm
labor supply to the demand is 112
pere cent as compared to 114 per cent
las year and 74 per cent two years
ago.
Estimates for tine United States
are as follows: Winter wheat condi
tion, 7S.4 per cent as compared to 76
per cent last December! 91 per lent
a year ago and the ten-year average
of 84.3 per cent. The present condi
tion forecasts a crop of 572,974,000
bushels as compared to the final es
timate last year of 5S7,032,000 bushels.
The present condition of rye is S9
per cent and the indicated crop 69,-
667,00 Obushe-ls as compared to 5
918,000 bushels the final estimate last
year.
ber "nothing for sure?" That was
yesterday. The old barrel between
U hall and the Armory thnt bravely
withstood the withering glances of
tho scornful, tho laughs and funny re
marks ot tho Buckors or tho cold
shoulders of tho unheeding all day
yesterday, wept out its tale of woe
late last night to a sympathetic Rag
ger and disclosed this secret The
i-rogram was definitely arranged even
before the "fun" was all taken from
the faithful, even It incapable, care
of this od veteran barrel to be cruelly
kegged in moro modern containers.
Twin Beds," (in two parts) will be
the curtain-raiser besides some oth
er things. "Te syncopated Sisters"
(all together) will furnish a few min
utes of the classiest entertainment ev
er witnessed by the bold eye of wo
man and a skit, "You Ought to See
Her Now," (from several angles) will
finish the program. "Not one dull
minute" is a proposition that will be
taken care ot by several clever cur
U.Jn acts by the talent of the society.
Remember it's Friday the 14th in
Social Science Auditorium at eighi
o'clock.
A barrel full of fun. That's going
some but the Delian men in planning
their annual program set that as their
goal. Before the thing was started
that old barrel full began to foam and
slop oven Vigorous skimming was
of no avail, the blooming fun still
spilled over. The ingenuity of the
fellows came to the rescue and the
fun is safely stored away in air tight
kegs ready to be smashed open in an
all evening's entertainment Friday
April 14 in Social Science Auditorium
Now the one-time good barrel that
sacrificed its usefulness and its beau
ty to hold all the fun stuffed into it
by these Delians is still loyal to the
old bunch. tSationed by the post be
tween U hall and the Armory amidst
the glamor, the bustle and hurry of
between class hushes, this old relic is
beckoning to the curious and coaxing
the doubtful and dubious ones to
Take a peek," "Risk an Eye," and
Have a look" inside where the sign
does not say "Fooled Again.
If this crude old barrel sould speak
it might tell each peeker that this is
the first time the Delian men ever
attempted such a wild and foolish
thing as this is bound to be. They
are a bunch of amateurs. They guar
antee nothing for sure. It's a free
show. If those who have the courage
to risk the other eye on the real bar
rels of fun Friday night even crack a
smile, the Delian men will consider
it a grand success.
Among the speakers will be Senator
William B. McKinley, president of the
association; J. R. Howard, president,
American Farm Bureau Federation;
Julius H. Barns, former chairman,
United States Grain Corporation; Re
presentative Cleveland A. Newton,
member of Congress; Senator James
A. Reed, Missouri; C. H. Markham,
president, Illinois Central Railroad;
Theodore E. IJrent, manager, Mississ
ippi-Warrior Barge Line Service;
Governor Henry J. Allen, Kansas; W.
F. Gephart, ve-president. First Na
tional Bank, St Louis; H. H. Merrick,
vteepresident Central Trust Company,
Chicago, and many other noted author
ities on valley problems.
The convention will be at the Hotel
Muehlebach in this city. Many re
servations already have been received.
Inquiries should be addressed to Frank
M. Robinson, Secretary of the Con
vention Bureau, Kansas City, Mo. W.
M. Symon, Director of Publicity.
