Then love-his head dropped sor.

winsome she had been-but strong
drink had not then relaxed its awful
influence over him. He finally found
himself penniless. Pride. remorse
tortured him. A man who had money
and position became his rival. Hal

the town desperate and became a

TALES TOLD OF GREAT ARTIST
Whistler's PocuIlarities and His Fits
Of Anger Have Furnished copy"
for Many Journalists.

The well.known clash with Mr..
George Moore brought forth many alb
surdities, not the least of them being
the correspondence ensuing on the Of.
Tended artists challenge to duel.
which Mr.. Moore refused on the sooth-
ing ground that Mr. Whistler was too
old gentleman and would be sadly
worsted. The sequel of the duel farce
was a happy play of Moore's upon
Whistler's famous mot. when some
one ranked him with VelasQuez, why
drag in Velasquez?"
The two foregathered at the same
atelier one Sunday afternoon. They
nearly collided In entering. but Moore
was the first inside. The hostess
heard sounds from the hall something
between china breaking and the
stamping Of hoofs. She went out to
find James In a mighty rage.

his sweetly modulated voice. "Why

One Of the most characteristic con.
versations with the great artist ia re.
ported by Frederic Keppel.
Mr.. Keppel first called upon the art
list at the lite street studio, where
the famous portrait Of Sarasate,
black on black" stood at the end of
the long corridor that he used to form
a vista for proper perspective OF his
work. Laying his hand on Keppels
shoulder, he said
Now, isn't 1t beautiful"
1T certainly is" was the reply.
NO. said he, but isn't 1t beaut-
ful?"
1T is, indeed" said Keppel.
Whistler raised his voice to
scream.
Damn it. mani" he piped, isn't it
BEAUTIFULLY"
Adopting the emphasis, Mr.. Keppel
shouted:
Damn 1t, 1t isl"
This was satisfactory.

THE HIGH COST OF
DISTRIBUTION mo. y

The past summer was a year OF
agricultural fertility. Food products
ought to be cheap this winter. In a
great many rural districts fruits and
vegetables have been rotting under
the trees and in the garden. Yet
while apples for instance, were vast
ing in the country, you might have
to pay SO to s. a barrel to buy them
in the cities. Similarly with other
products.
The biggest cause of high cost of
living is the expense of getting the
food from the farms to the consum.
e.. 1t Is the purpose of series of
six editorial articles, prepared after
special study and interviews with
competent experts to describe briefly
the present bungling methods of get
ting food to the consumer, and to
touch on certain suggestions that
nave been made for lowering the
high cost of this distribution.
An investigation was recently made
in a city Of 10000 people, of the cost
Of delivering milk. II was found
that something like enc hundred milk
carts were travelling through the
place daily, and covering in the ag.
iregate a distance of 2i0O miles. Yet
there are but about $50 miles of
streets in that city, Hence ten milk
carts on an average went through
each street. The time of nine of
those milk teams was la gely wasted
lhe consumer paid the needless cost
SINH arly the teams and motor cars
that collected the milk frCm the out.
lying country were running over the
same ground.
An even more remarkable case Is
reported from town of 5000 people
to provide which with milk fifty diff
ferent carts traverse the same streets
day by day.
In the city first referred to the milk
consumers were paying eight to
nine cents per quart. Yet the farm.
ers got but four cents. Some of them
at distance get but two and half
TO three cents.
Although the consumer Is ready
paying high price for milk, yet in
many places farmers are quitting the
dairy business, because of low re-
turns and milk famines seem likely
1t may yet prove necessary to jack
up the consumer another cent or two,
An endless number of similar in,
stances could be given, showing the
inelliciency OF present methods of
getting food fom the farm to the
town.

DR.. BA|LY GIVES GREAT
LECTURE At ANNUAL ROUNDUP

Before vast and appreciative au-
dience that filled the College chapel
Monday afternoon, Liberty Hyde
Bailey OF New York talked for nearly
two hours taking for his main line of
thought, "Permanency in Agricul-
ture'
DR.. Bailey began his lecture by
asking the farmers of Utah IL the.
fully realized their obligation to their
families, to society, and to the nation
at large, that of maintaining the fer
tility of the land; to be identified with
some portion of the earth's surface
and become established there perm
anently. He stated that there were
two different types of men that were
establishing themselves On farms.
The first one was the hardy son OF
toll who milks his cows and waite g
his stock and makes permanent
home on the farm, but the other one
is he who waters his stock and mi ks
the farmer. Since his arrival in
Utah, DR.. Bailey has been impress.
ed with the fact that the idea Of
permanency Of occupancy of land In
this state was foremost in the minds
of the people and that everything was
not for sale.
I'm this last respect most of the
American farmers are falling" states
DR.. Bailey and Utah men have learn
ed that much land has been spoiled
by too much irrigation. He also
brought out the fact that fertilizers
must be used and In this connection
that good animal husbandry is i'm
portant, not only does this industry
help to maintain the fertility of the
land. but 1t furnishes the diversity OF
activity and by careful attention to
animals a new sensitiveness in hui
man beings is brought out.
DR.. Bailey pointed out the advan'
tages OF proper marketing facilities
and called attention to last years ap-
pie market. He then showed by
statistics that there has been but lit
tie increase in the planting of or
chards, by dividing the past sixteen
years into two parts, 1t was shown
that more apples were raised during
the first eight than in the second
