THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 18, 1920. 9 D ARTISTS VISIT MIDDLE WESTTO STUDY PEOPLE Foster and Symons Declare They Become Better Amerl- j cans From What They ! Learn "Out West." ! By LETA MOORE MEYER. There ii food for deep study in th picture! by Ben Fatter -Gardner Symoni on exhibition at the public library under the auspice of the Omaha Society of Fine Arts. It is hard to decide which arc more interesting, the pictures or the kindly gentlemen who genially chat with the visitors. We must look within them to find an answer to the riddle' of why they have left New York. Why do they leave their comfort able homes, their interesting friends and clubs and their laurels to come out here to us? It is because they really like us and bur section of the country and find us interesting and ' think that we have something to give the'rn which they cannot find elsewhere. This fact is stated both by the artists and by the pictures, for all show the spirit of wander lurt. Michelangelo created sculpture A paintings which have never been l Tpassed, the architectural 'world i fcnder of the done of St. Peters I fa gave us the principle of fore- lortening which has ever since ' ild such an important place in art j fid he was a , powerful military ! fcmmander. Yet after all this, when J 4 years old, he was seen trudging through a storm with his painting materials. Some one asked him where he was going and he an swered sadly, "Going to school to see if I can't learn something before it's too late." This is the spirit of all great men and of those who are progressing and to this standard measure up the two distinguished visitors which Omaha has had the pleasure of en tertaining this week. Mr. Foster, white-haired, with his burden of work and achievement and honors, says he has never painted a picture which was just what he intended it to be or which didn't give him a heartache because of something he felt he had missed. i And Mr. Symons - is too ; busy reaching out and .trying toJ express the. biggeV, finer things. which he de i dares are always just beyond the artist to talk much about it' Both of them have the" simplicity of man ner and attitude which are always he result of grinding 1 work and achievement and which are invari ably felt in any great man. : And it is because of this reaching out, this always wanting something more, that they have come out here to know our people and to see our country. They say that because of what they learn through the west they will be better men, better Americans and so better artists. Mr. Foster and Mr. Symons live Paxton & Gallagher Company Makes Start on Its New Factory Building ' " V:-; ' ,. " .fmoiftCuuoiE JKblU. 'lfici Excavation was started this geek on the Paxton & Gallagher jjew four-story fire-proof factory building 71 by 132 feet on Ninth and Jones, across the street from their present nine-story building.

It is one of the most historic and interesting spots in New York. Auto Stage Lines Are Popular In California Sacramento, Jan. 17. Californians are traveling by motor stage lines more extensively almost daily. New auto stage lines are being placed in operation throughout the state, espe cially along the western slope, where traffic is not hindered during the winter months. Regulation of the ' automobile stage lines is conducted by the state railway commission, with which pe titions ; must be filed before such lines may be started. Yankee Shrewdness Takes No Chances On Feeding Czecho-Slovaks Iniveraal "flervlc Staff Correspondent. T T?TAILTV Tiff A C XT Djr rnnniw e. mnswn. m Prague, Jan. 17. "I'll never cuss out the army quartermaster again after this job," said Capt. Arthur Ringland of Montclair, N. J., who is superintendent of the daily feeding of more than 500,000 Czecho-Slo-vak children. A visit to one of the 2,685 Ameri can relief kitchens with Captain Ringland will assure you that Yan kee shrewdness takes no chances on any of the food going to people for whom its American donors did not intend it. Not that the Czecho slovaks would graft, you under stand, but with 500,000 meals a day a little loss here and there runs into big amounts. The children troop' into the schools rooms, where the little tots are served a pint of cocoa, and the children approaching the 14-year age limit are poured out a pint of soup. Biscuits baked in the Relief asso ciation's own biscuit factory accom pany the meal. Only in cases of investigated sick ness is food carried out of the school rooms; under no circum stances is uncooked food distributed. R.nc. nf this careful supervision the Americans have not been em barrassed by finding their guts ot charity for sale on the shelves of local groceries, which has resulted in more than one attempt to relieve hungering Europe. t The average gain in weight, ac cording to the commission staff physicians, varies between five and 15 pounds, according to the age of the child. Statistics also show a marked decrease in children's dis eases. Americans do only the executive and supervisory work; an organiza tion of 30,000 Czecho-Slovaks scat tered through 2,65 towns do the cooking and dish washing. This or ganization is now being used to distribute 100,000 sets of children's clothing provided by the United States. Tests in Europe have shown that pens made of tantalum outwear those made of steel or gold. Tverywoman' of Omaha May Do Away With All Drudgery of 'Bake Day' Love, passion, wealth, rice, flat tery are some of the interesting character in "Everywoman'a" life voyage but few people will deny that a modern baking institution, such as the Skinner Baking Co- has had much to do with today's "Every woman" retaining youth and beauty, the all essential attributes so neces sry to the growth and health of love, , For Everywoman of Omaha to be able to do away with the tedious drudgery of the old-fashioned "bake day" means, in a year, hundreds of hours of much needed recreation or rest and these are the things the average Everywoman needs to off set the ravages of time and age. And the pleasing feature of an institution like Skinner Baking Co. is that it not only saves the house wife from tedious labor, but it's products, whether bread, biscuits, pies or cakes are all of supreme quality with a capital "Q." The uncertain methods of old fashioned "guess and b'gosh" bak ing are unknown in the Skinner bakery. Nothing but highest grade, raw materials are ever used and nothing but accurate "always t he same" methods of scientific making and baking are resorted to in, this most sanitary standard of "snow whiteness" in bakeries. Bolsheviks Trying v To Get America in A Brawl With Japan Helsingforsr Jan. 17. "The bol sheviks are tyzy'mg the German game and are trying to divide the allies." The truth of this declaration recently made by M. Tchicherin, is proved by the appearance in the Moscow Investia of a leading article asserting that a new war is brewing in the Pacific . between America and Japan, which will again steep the world in the blood of nations which were recently allies, but are now mobilizing against each other. Other nations, it is declared, will be dragged into the war between America and Japan, which will thus bring abotlt a fresh war between powerful coalitions. Americanize Native Boms First, Declares Professor Berkeley, Cal., Jan. 17. Amer icanize native born Americans first, is the advice given by Prof. J. W. Breitwieser of the department of education of the University of Cali fornia.

Cuming St. , '212 Jo. 16th St. Watermelons " that weigh 45 pounds and squashes at 83, that is the proud boast of Lincoln' county, where lies, at the border of North Platte, the University of Nebraska experimental farm. . The station, as it is called in agri cultural language, embraces 1,920 acres and is rectangular in shape, two miles north and south and one and one-half east and west. There are 300 acres of bench land, level valley, and 100 of level table. The rest is range. . An experimental farm aims to as certain the crops, varieties and meth ods of, tillage which will yield best results in its geographical section. Thus a Station is, an- incalculable benefit to the country in which it lies. The small farmer reaos the benefit. Consequently the state as a whole is the gainer. The small land owner cannot afford to experi ment. But when the record of the station is his for the asking he may enjoyito the full all the experimenta tion done there. The station at North Platte as a J. whole is under the administration of E. A. Burnett, dean of the colloge of agriculture, who is officially known as ,the director of the station. Work on the station is pursued in a num ber of departments, thus, general su perintendent; W. P. Snyder; crop work and soils, L. L. Zook; dairy, A. R. Sharrah; poultry. John Debaur. The foreman is R. A. Rhodes, and C. P. Kildahl has in charge the cler ical work in accounts. Considerable emphasis is given on the station to live stock. The university co-operates with the gov ernment, but the vast majority of the undertaking is the work of the university. The station makes a report to the government of its dry land experiences. The rest of its activity is not so reported. Crop ro tation is practiced and in this the North Platte station is a unit cor relating and co-operating with the 25 dry land stations of the United States government in the central western and northern territory. In the cattle of "the station there kare some wonderful creatures with records that might well turn any, bossy's head. These high-born bo vines have triple names like mem bers of the human society, and there are recorded histories of them read with fully as much interest and envy as the paragraphs of the news papers about the doings and the relationships of humans. May Echo Silvia was born December. 31, 1917. She gave 152 pounds of milk in one day and 1,005 pounds in seven. Her 30-day record was 4,936 pounds, and yearly 30,000 pounds. Her rec ord was thus 19 gallons for a day, which any housewife, who has to buy milk these days, can say U something to boast of. Girls Flee as "Dead" Turkey Struts Forth Minus Feathers Washington. D. G, Jan. 17. Four young lady workers, planning for a real holiday dinner, bought a live turkey and took him home to their apartment. None of the voung la dies wanted to kill the gobbler. So a bottle of chloroform was put to work and Mr. Turk was put to sleep killed, thought the girls. Then the bird was plucked and tucked away in a clothes basket. The day of the dinner arrived. When the closed door was opened out walked Mr. Turkey, full of pep. but minus feathers, to the "accom paniment of screams. The apartment janitor later used, the axe. Chicago inventors have patented two automobiles, either of which can use a single door that extends across the angle.
