Webster City. July 1s.-Alfred Mont
gomery, the world famed farmer paint
er, whom Hamilton county likes to call
hers passed thru this city yesterday
enroute from Waterloo to Omaha and
stopped for an hour for visit with a
few old friends and as always. made a
few new ones at the same time.
On May 10, 1858, little barefoot boy
-trudged the weary miles from his farm
home near Homer. dragging a little
wagonful Of pieplant which he sold at
one Of the local grocery stores for a
few cents which he Immediately in
vested in slate and pencil. Hugging
his treasure to his heart he trudged
back home again to sit down in the
barn and try to draw an old ram, one
of the inmates of the barn. He is still
drawing rams, but rams so realistic
that you expect to hear them bleat.
Montgomery is known the world over
as the worlds greatest corn painter.
One of his interesting merentoes in
book of newspaper clippings and what
not that he has with him, is kodak
picture of horse which has been
drawn to one Of the artists corn pic
lures propped up against a farming
implement, and is trying to nibble the
grains Of corn! Nothing like these
corn pictures have ever been painted.
while those Of farm creatures, domes-
tic animals around the barnyard, might
well be Bonheur's masterpieces. The
chickens scratching around the hay
stack; the cows crossing the brook
to reach the grassy slope beyond; the
sheep huddled together watching the
painter with curious eyes; the ruddy
apples lying beside a glass OF cider on
the kitchen table: these, with many
other Of the commonest scenes Of life,
Montgomery transfers to canvass. With
him yesterday he had a precious arm
full OF pictures, all sold, but which
might be Cooked at for nothing.
The art critics OF several Of the
large newspapers Of the middle west
were inclined to ostracize Alfred Mont
gomery from the elmer circle Of the
"diyinely ordained" artists Of the world
q few years ago, but since Commits

marily to buy tractor for his farm.

Thursday evening when it was an
nounced that T. J. Baird had killed
himself. He was so well known in this
community where he had resided for
about forty years that his friends
secuted the idea Of his ending his own
life. Mr.. Baird went to the woodshed
to clean his revolver and he removed
i've shells forgetting that 1t was six
shooter. He had removed the pin that
holds the cylinder and the swab was in
one Of the cartridge receptacles. This
would indicate that It was an accident

the flood. Mr.. Nevin lives east Of New
Market.
Mr.. Nevin had gone to his pasture,

horses. The water was rising and
before he secured the horses he de-

than to attempt to get back thru the
water This was done about 1880
Monday morning.
Shortly after dinner a rescue party
was organized. The water had re-
ceeded some and Mr.. Nevin reached
the solid ground. He had been up the
pole nearly six hours according to his
friends who witnessed the affair and
was some tired and discouraged man.

for the United Press. made the above
remark today. He had Just talked
things over with several Of the chiels

the plans are. His opinion later was
echoed in another way by General
Foch, who said:
Great events are coming. Then
win cono peace, but We will put SEN
timent aside and make peace on our
own terms"
And from neutrals who have been
in Germany, it is learned that the
same thing is being said there. Both
sides are holding their own during
the winter months and preparing, pre-.
pairing, preparing!
The great armies of Europe. there
fore, are to meet IL the spring anc
