NOTED SPANISH ARTIST
HAS ADVENTUROUS LIFE
Pursued Chosen Vocation, De-
spite Opposition

Ignacio Zuloaga. who was born at
F,ibar in the province OF Guipuzcoa on
July IS 1870. is clearly the leader OF
the national movement in the art OF
northern Spain. just as Sorolla is of
that in the south. says the Detroit
News. Zuloaga is the true son of that
robust and ancient race who were only
reduced to submission by Alfonso XII.
after the hardest sort of a struggle. and
who still regard themselves as dis
tinctly less Spanish than Basque. They
had really espoused the CarIist cause
only because they thus hoped to re-
main independent so much longer. and
today these men of the mountains are
as resolute and untamed in spirit as
ever.
Not only is ZulOaga a CeItiberian
through and through. but he further
more belongs to a veritable dynasty. it
may be termed. OF industrial craftsman
ship. His father. grandfather and
greatgrandfather all devoted them
selves assiduously to the absorbing and
intricate field of ornamental metal
work. having been famous ,chasers. ar
morers and masters of incrustation and
demascening. They were essentially
practical people, and. although there
had been painters as well as potters in
the family. the youthful Ignacio met
with no encouragement when he ex-
pressed desire to take up the study
of art.
After working 5ravely for several
years at the forge. the lad. however.
decided to forsake his family IL neces-
sary and embark upon his chosen call
ing. A chance visit TO Madrid. where
he saw for the first time the works of
IL Greco. VeIazquez and Goya. had
turned the tide. and. at is, the embryo
painter departed for Rome to seek IN
spiration and guidance. Yet 1t was not
in Rome. or Paris. or London. each OF
loaga was to encounter that for which
he was so eagerly searching. After
several empty and humiliating years of
bitter struggle amid uneongeniaI sur
roundings he returned TO Spain, resid-
ing first in Seville and later moving
northward into Segovis.
1T is unnecessary to recount in detail
the picturesque and often precarfous
experience of Zu1oaga before he inaIlv
settled down to his life task He found
il impossible to support himself by the
brush. and thus became by turns a
book keeper. dealer in antiques and
a professional bull hghter. He travelled
repeatedly throughout the length and
breadth of Spain. turning his hand to
whatever he could do, yet always in
stinctively gathering material for his
art While his first real success did not
come until he had reached the age OF
%. his entire lifetime had been in the
nature of "a long and thorough prepara-
tion for that which was to follow.

ROW OVER CANINE
STIRS NEW YORK
American Kennel Club Takes Up
4 Case Similar to the EI-
Iery Incident

New York is very much interested in
dog scandal something like that
which held San Francisco some months
ago when William EIlery was charged
with having made false statements re-
garding his prize winning collies Val
verde Valois, Valvarde Vanguard and
Valvarde Violet. The case of Ellery
was sensation here and the local
branch of the American kennel club
made a bitter fight against him. 1t
was taken ITO the courts and is still
pending.
The New York scanda~is traced all
the way back TO England and accord
ing to dispatches it gives promise of
being one of the most involved dog
rows on the records. 1t involves prom
inent dog fanciers and a big English
dealer in blue blooded CANNES The
New York Herald has the following to
say about the case:

mixed in the Gilbert and Sullivan
opera she at least subsequently iden-
titled them. Not so in the case of
Southport symphony, a collie lady who
had won many prizes in England and
at the time was owned by William r.
Mason, a, dealer in collies of Southport
England.
Southport Symptoms case is one of
the titbit scandals in kennel circles,
and after meeting of the executive
committee of the American kennel club
yesterday it still requires a Little But
tercup to clear up the mystery.
According to the American kennel
club records Southport Symphony was
sold by William Mason to F. T. Brown
of Chicago in 1907, who subsequently
transferred half share to J. Jameson,
also of Chicago. The firm of Brown &
Jameson sold symphony to j. H.
Weber of Buffalo in 1908. The latter
claimed afterward that the bitch he
received was not Southport Symphony
and brought charges before the Ameri-
can kennel club that Messrs. Brown
and Jameson had. sent him in turf
Mason in the meantime had an
nounced his intention of visiting last
and the case was postponed, as he ex-
pressed a Willingness to visit WeberS
kennels at Buffalo and, If possible.
before him, he declared. was not South
port Symphony, whereupon Brown and
Jameson, when the testimony came
DeIOTe the AMERICAN k6nISl cluD, IN
sisted Weber had not shown Mason the
bitch they shipped.
The case was deferred until the re-.
cent show in the Garden, when Weber
brought down the alleged Southport
Symphony in the presence of Messrs.
Brown and Jameson and Mason, and
the latter declined to identify her.
Whereupon MesSrS. Brown and JAM
ieson declare that If the bitch produced
at last weeks show was not Southport
Symphony Mason sent something. else
by mistake.
Committeeman who were shown the
picture of Symphony and Symphony in
the flesh declared there was no resem-
blance, but, as an expert put it. photo
graphs are deceiving.
Anyhow, the case has been referred
back to the trial board.

BACK TO THE FARM
STATE BOARD OF Trade cONVENEs AT
PARKERsBURG THIS MONTH.

When the state board of trade
eonyenes at Parkersburg next month,
the back to the farm movement,
which was some time asoIinaugurat.
ed by Governor Glasscock, will be
encouraged and the board viii out.
line campaign to encourage farm
ers and their children 10 remain on
the old farm instead ofseeking for.
tunes in our crowded cities. Much
interest is being taken in a land
show by members of the board, and
in all probabilities one or more shows
of this kind in the larger cities OF
the state will be held. These shows
have proven a great success in other
states where the back to the farm
movement has been inaugurated.
Elaborate arrangements are now
being made by the state board for
this meeting and the full program
viii be announced within the next
few days. Chief among the speak.
ers at hesmeeting will be an address
on the great natural resources of this
state by Edward W. Parker, of
Washington, head of the geological
survey, who took the survey of this
state. This address viii be the most
interesting that has ever been deliv-
cred before q meeting of the state
board and viii prove very instructive
to residents ofthis state. DR.. White
of Morgantown will also deliver an
address on the !, resources of West
Virginia. Other addresses will be
made by prominent speakers, while
the. reports of the president, secre-
tary and other officials viii prove in
teresting. Officers for the.ensuins
year will be elected at the meeting
and the meeting place for 1911 Sc
lected.
+ Each year that the board hold
their annual meeting a campaign on
some particular object that would
prove of benefit to the state is: OUT
lined. This notable feature this
year will probably be the great land
show project which will without a
doubt prove a great success in EN-
couraging the back to the farm
movement IN West Virginia, state
where the demand for farntruck is
greater than the supply, which has
resulted in prices of food stuff taking
an upward jump. Governor Glass
cock will attend the meeting L pos
sible and will speak on this move
ment. The state executive was first
to suggest this great movement
which has been fayorably received.
The land shows would be held III
the,larser cities at which samples of
the rich soil of this state would be;
exhibited. Vegetables that are rails
ed in this state would alsobe exhibit
ed and the affair would not only en-
courage our farmers to remain Oh the
farms but would be the means of
bringing farmers from other states
here.
