VENUS De- MEDlCI.
The Finding and the Restoration q
the Famous Statue.

The Finding ana the -hestoraeion ~
the Famous Statue.
You have smiled at the story. Of the
recently rich lady who objected to q
statue Of the Venus Of Milo because
the dealer had sent her broken statue
instead Of a good new one. Do you
happen to know in what state Of d.
lapidation the other famous Venus was
found when her remains were unearth-
ed in Rome in the sixteenth century?
The Venus de- Medici was discovered
along with several important pieces Of
antique art when the excavation had
reached the depth Of Hadrian's villa.
1t is claimed by some authorities that
the marble goddess had been an adorn-
ment of the original home Of the Cae-
sars. But it made no stir In the art
world until It had been restored and
taken to Florence by Cosimo de- Medici.
The restoration was almost as inlpor-
tant as the work of the artist who
modelled and chiseled the lovely figure
in the high noon Of art before the
Christian era.
The statue has been credited to
Cleomenes by some scholars, while
others insist that it was done by an
obscure Greek sculptor as late as the
time of Augustus. The work of resto-
ration was given over to the father of
Bernini, that Neapolitan genius who
was at once architect. painter and
sculptor and who served two such
patrons as Pope Urban VIII. and
Louis XIV. of France. The elder Ber-
mini, whose talents reflected so advan-
tageously on the court of that Medici
who was both Duke Of Florence and
Duke of Tuscany. is scarcely known to
fame. Yet he took the thirteen frag-
ments of marble and restored by
means of them the most beautiful wo-
man in the world.-St. Louis Globe

Our town ought to have cleaning
such as has never been known here
before. The alleys. the lots, the build

The housewife should get to her

In other communities North, South,
East and West, the Clean Up: and
Paint Up period has always been q big
success. For that reason under the
present activity and growth, our town
should be able to show results that
will compare favorably with other
communities. The business men will
show an interest In the movement
and will lend support In any way pos
sible to aid in the cleaning up. They
think the Clean Up and Paint Up
movement is mighty good one, not
Only to advertise, but to make the
town attractive for the visitor.

the Clean Up and Paint Up campaign

Get Rid Of Weeds.

In connection with the Clean Up
and Paint Up campaign in this conn.
munity it has been wisely suggested
that we take steps to remedy the un.
sightliness of weed-grown vacant lots
all over town. There is no reason
why it cannot be done.

Out of those that amt.

In many villages, towns and cities
Clean Up and Paint Up effort has be
come popular in recent years. The i'm
mediate results have been q marked
improvement in the appearance Of the
places In which they have been At
tempted.
In certain western town one Of the
residence streets with q row of about
fifteen houses! was the shame of ;;all
the public-spirited citizens. Houses
were greatly in need Of repairs and
paint. They looked, bad. and they. kept
looking worse every year. Finally one.
of the good citizens got an .ideai He
went to the owner Of the house In the
middle of the block. E}f Gs
II want to make you q proposition"
he said. III you will permit me Liwill
give you, without cost, all the paint
necessary to paint your house II you
will do the work"
The owner accepted the. proposition
and later the paint was delivered. The
philanthropist exacted the promise
that the owner would not tell any OF
his neighbors that the paint was .
gift.
In the course of time the house. was
painted and the effect was marvellous
to behold. Like new house it stood
among its dingy neighbors as conspi-
cuous as a fairy in minstrel show.
The owners of the other houses mo-
ticed the contrast. They saw how
miserably poor the newly painted
house made theirs look. One after
the other they went to the stores and
ordered paint. During that season ev-
cry one of the fifteen houses was
pointed and the premises cleaned and
the street became one of the best look
ing In town.
That is what was accomplished
when one man started to improve his
home. II whole neighborhoods; street
by street, should start to improve In
our town what a tremendous difference
it would make in the appearance Of
this community. Let's get together
and try It.
