Hanging Pictures Mau Rec0mn a Fine Art

pICTURE hanging may become . composition. the general must pre- cede the particular. You must hrst have a comprehensive idea of your pictures and the groups into which they fall by reason of size, color and subject before you can plan their hanging. Nor must you hang any one picture on the wall until in a general way you have mentally hung them all
 If you have long. narrow picture and a short, broad one that seem to belong together place the long picture two or three inches beneath the other. This will give the impression conveyed by a column and its capital. of mass supported by slender strength. In . long, narrow wall space such an arr rangement is particularly happy. In general, hang smaller pictures below larger.
 Pictures should usually be on or slightly above the level of the eye Certain pictures, however, can be ele- vated without detriment to their effec-. tiveness The Sistine Madonna, for instance, poised, as it were, in the heavens, loses nothing by being raised we'll above the other pictures.
 Your pictures are individuals
 Each has been lovingly wrought with some one end in view. Put yourself in the place of the artist; respect his aim;s q do justice to his achievement: If you succeed in this. your pictures, like inc telligent we'll hammered guests. will become an integral part of your house. 2 hold, each contributing of its beauty. its strength or it's character to the whole.

 Dividend Money Loaned.
 'The general result of this opera tion was, then, that the New Haven loaned money to the New England Navigation company with which to pay the companys dividends to the New Haven?' suggested MT. Folk.
 That was the effect of the tram sactions," MT. Brown replied.
 The same sort of transactions manipulations they were called by Mr. Folk-were gone through with in the early summer of 1912. It amounted, according to the testimo ony to chang ing money from one pocket to an- other, with the result only of making a showing of "book dividends
 MT. Brown further said that last December one obligation of the New England Navigation company to the New Haven for $2,100,00O and an other for $2,0OO,0OO remained un- paid''
 "Then the entire result of these transactions" said MT. Folk, twas to enable the New England Navigation NO.. ana US SuDSIOld1lCS, u 1AleaAO e showing of paying dividends, the money with which to pay them being New Haven money?"

LED BY REPRESENTATIVES.

At a meeting of the directors Of the
Fargo Auto show, Saturday after
noon, it was decided not to. let the
Kiefer Automobile Co, of Moorhead,
exhibit any Krit or Chandler cars at
the show. . They claim that Kiefer
does not handle the cars mentioned
and would keep the two cars on dis
play during the show only.
E. G. Franklin, factory representa-
tive for the Krit and Chandler cars

the Northwestern Automobile Co.. Of
Minneapolis, to that effect and Mr..
Veihman arrived in Fargo this morn
ing to make other arrangements for
the exhibiting of his cars his week.
The Northwestern Automobile Co. Is
one of the largest distributors of auto
mobiles in the country and have al
ways maintained a high standard of
motor cars. The local dealers claim
that it is not fair to them to have
any firm come in and exhibit their
cars during the show who do not have
local dealers handling them. This rule
was adopted when the show was first
suggested by the Automobile as
s%ociation. 1t was impossible to secure
a building large enough to accommo-
date all the firms in the trade and
it was voted to confine this show to
gate city dealers. Mr.. Veihman ex-

a large portion of that town was WHIP

which he owned at New Folden was
destroyed by fire. Still later he suf-
fered heavy financial loss when his
Moorhcad laundry was destroyed by
the flames.
A year ago last summer the family
was stricken by the worst blow, when
the two Oldest boys, Glare and Glen,
were drowned while canoeing or the
