Art Exhibit

Two Hundred Pictures Displayed
Under Auspices of Our
Public Schools.

The public will have an exceptional
opportunity next week when a large
iean exhibit of the worlds master
peices in art will be placed on display
by the local schools. The pictures will
be arranged in the north side of the
Temple Theatre building which will be
open to the public every afternoon and
evening from Wednesday to Saturday,

cents will be charged and the proceeds
will be used for the purchase of pic
lures for the schools.
There are about two hundred pictures
included in the collection, consisting of
carbon photographs, photographers
and prints in full color made directly
from the original masterpieces and
selected by art experts. There are
several reasons for bringing this eX-
hibit to East Jordan. The first is to
give people an opportunity to see
collection of the worlds greatest mas
kerpieces OF painting, sculpture and
architecture. Second, to make it pos
sible for pupils of the schools to make
a study of the great pictures. Third,
to give people who wish pictures for
their homes an opportunity to order
same and know what they will get.
Fourth, to make it possible for the
public to own few of these pictures
in the schools. The company owning
the exhibit will furnish with it cata-
logues of all pictures shown so that
anyone may understand and appreci-
ate them.
This collection of pictures has a
definite educational purpose in view,
being arranged to show the develop
ment OF art from the pyramids and
temples of Egypt through the fine old
classic architecture and sculpture.
ltalion painting, Dutch, French, Span
ish, English and American. Many peo-
pie think that they cannot understand
the great masterpieces but it is usually
because they have never been shown
just what it is about the work that
makes them great. Everyone should
attend this exhibit and learn to have a
greater appreciation for the beautiful
The great majority Of us will never
have an opportunity to see the originals
of these pictures, as they are scattered
all over the world chiefly in Europe,
and an opportunity of this kind. that

taken advantage OF by many.
All of the proceeds of the admission
fees viii be used for the purchase OF
pictures for the schools and those who
attend will help to beautify our school
rooms as well as get much pleasure

ALONG THE FIRING LINE

Homer Brett, U. S, Consul at La
Guaira, Venezuela, says in his reports:
"The United States sold more agricul-
tural implements in Venezuela in the
first six months OF 1915 than in any en-
tire year. This trade has been bene-
fitted because of the good prospects the
war has brought to the Venezuela sugar
industry" This is quoted as an excel
lent example of what is meant by the
indirect action of the European struggle
on our present prosperity. 1t is not a
question OF politics.

Steel rail production is one of the
best indications of the country's busi-
ness. The last Republican tariff law
became effective the latter part of 1909
During 1910 our mills produced 1854,
900 tons of steel rails. In 1911, 2,S23,
600 tons. In 1912, 3,32S,OOO tons. In
1918, nine months of which was under
the Republican law, we produced 3,5O3,
600 tons. The Democratic tariff law
took effect October 4, 1913, and in 1914
our steel rail production dropped to 1,
$4,000 tons, while importations from
Canada increased 100 per cent. In 1915
we produced 2,204,000 tons, and i'm
ports from Canada, compared with 1913
increased over $50 per cent. Under
the abnormal conditions created by the
war the United States is now the chief
source of supply for rails, and since
January first of the present year orders
have been booked for 100000 tons.
Do not get an idea this is due to the
wonderful success of the Democratic
Administration, although they are try.
ing to take credit for it.
