Nothing is pleasanter than the current
system Of exchange between artists-the
generous give and take Of one another's
work called forth by genuine good fellow
ship. Much Is said of the petty jealousies
existing in the profession, but less Is heard
Of the cooperation and outspoken regard
which is met with much more frequently
Recent evidence of this is found in a pic
ture Of lower New York, painted by Mr.
Colin Campbell Cooper and sent to Mr.
Moser In return for a coveted water color
Both were sketches, but for this reason none
the less valuable. Mr.. Cooper's is on acad-
envy board. painted in oils, and gives a vista
up Broadway when the ground was white
with snow and the sun not very high In the
heavens. The painter must have stood in
the vicinity Of Bowling Green, for he has
pictured the mouth of the canyon and
he must have jotted down his impressions
with great speed to have escaped freezing.
And that is just what this sketch is-a

almost thrown on the board. but 1t has

portrait true, but the effect alluring.

the advanced students of the Corcoran
schools water-color class with Mr.. Moser
as leader. is finding also inspiring themes.

Heights. from whence exceptionally fine
views are gotten of Washington, and this

Some exceedingly interesting work in

obtain through its medium perfect results,
and 1t is these which Mr. Radford has ac-

his landscapes show no less clever or in

George 81. Cosgrove, writing to
the Rural New Yorker, giving
facts concerning the result OF
keeping $50 fowls, says his one
year net result was $6O9.78, or
$1.74 net profit per hen per year.
He explains that he had too
large a proportion Of old hens,
otherwise he could have equaled
his previous average profit OF 81
per hen for the year. His ex-
pense for grain was $539,6l, but
he obtained 81, 200 for the eggs,
fowls, broilers and breeding

gagement at the Jacobson
Monday.

MinOtls right IN line with
other large cities of the west in
having a new vaudeville and
electrical theatre, which gave it's
first entertainment at the Jacob
son Monday night. Manager
Bacon is particularly fortunate
in securing two high class vaude-
vile artists, Mr.. N. and Mrs.
Harry Stocton, who will do two
double and two single sketches
each performance and there will
be two performances each even
ing, the first one beginning at
1870 O'Clock and the second one
at 8 o'clock. Each performance
will last fully an hour and a half
and the charges have been made
verv moderate, Is and 25 cents.
The show is a good one. In
addition to the vaudeville ar
lists, moving pictures and illus
trated songs are given. The
program will never be given an
opportunity to get stale, for it
will be very frequently changed.
Minot will support an attrac-
ton Of this kind. The people OF
Minot and vicinity like to be en-
tertained, and they will get more
than their moneys worth at the
jacobson.
