George Upp. the artist living back

excites much interest and high appre-
citation from all who have seen it. 4
1t is his own conception OF the
story of the Keokuk water power and
tells its own story plainly.
1t is genuinely pictorial and is
more realistic than the we'll known
calendar picture which was frankly
decorative. incidentally, this picture
of Ups is more sincere, and 1t APP
peals most to those who know the
Mississippi best with its summer sun
