LEONARDO'S STYLE OF ART.
"Mona Lisa" 10 No Mystery, According
to Kenyon Cox.

"Mona Lisa" 10 No Mystery, According
to Kenyon Cox.
Leonardo Ia Vinci was q tireless stu
dent Of all kinds of natural phenomena,
aud Of many things he had learned
great deal that has been rediscovered
only In our own time. Among other
things, as his notebooks prove, he had
studied effects Of transmitted and re-
Elected light, understood the difference
between diffused daylight and sunlight
with its crisp edged shadows, saw the
blue shadow which has been introduced
into modern painting by the impress
sionists and knew the reason Of it.
He attempted none of these things in
painting, and he tells us why. These
things, he says, after a long descrip-
ton Of the effects of sunlight upon
foliage-of the color of the sky in the
high lights, of the yellow light where
the sun shines through the leaf and
the interruption Of this light where the
shadow of one leaf falls upon another
these things should not be painted
because they confuse the form"
The F1orentine ideal in art was til
utmost realization Of form. Leonardo
was q true Forentine, and he intro
duced into painting just so much Of
light and shade as should assist in this
realization, no more. It Is his use of
modelling that Is his most personal con.
tributiOn to art.
Much rhapsodical nonsense has been
written about the Mona Lisa" and her
enigmatic smile, and there have been
endless speculations as to her charac-
ter and the meaning of her expression
1t is all beside the mark. The truth
Is that the Mona Lisa" Is study Of
modelling, little more. Leonardo had
discovered that the expression Of smil-
ing Is much more a matter Of the mod
cling Of the cheek and Of the forms
below the eye than Of the change In
the line Of the lips. It interested him,
with his new power Of modelling, to
produce a smile wholly by these deli
cate changes of surface, hence the mys-
ferrous expression.
Poets may find LA Gioconda" a vam-
pire or what not. To artists with a
sense Of form her portrait will always
be a masterpiece because it is one of
the subtlest and most exquisite pieces
Of modelling in existence-Kenyon Cox

action, the endurance or skill to walk
or ride great distances and you will
have regenerated the American boy.
Therefore, military training is for
the general good of American people,
why not adopt it? In a republic like
America where the people govern
themselves and educate themselves, is
1t any more than right that they
should learn to defend themselves?

The New Style Patriot
Listen, my children and you shall hear
Of a patriots work in the present
year.
He didn't ride through the roads at
night
To rouse the neighbors to arm and
fight,
But he went to work with spade and
And he made ten bushels of Eaters
grow
He mopped the sweat from his beady
As he trudged behind his handpower
plow;
His hands grew tough and his feet
got sore
As he turned the stubborn burrows
DER,
And his neighbors laughed as they
called his slow,
But he made ten bushels of Eaters
grow.
Oh, cheer the boy with the sword and
gun,
Who has fought and bled when the
was is done,
And cheer the generals and majors
too,
And the sailors bold on the ocean
blue;
But cheer this man with his spade and
hoe,
For he made ten bushels of Eaters
grow. e. A. Guest.
Progressive Club Resolutions

Mr.. A. D. Wilson, University Farm,
St. Paul, MINI:
Dear Mr. Wilson: The members of
the Progressive Farmers Club OF
Sank Centre, Stearns county, Mime
sofa, wish to 60 on record as favoring
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That We, the members OF
the Progressive Farmers Club OF
Sank Centre, Minnesota, do all in our
power to exert ourselves along the
line of increased food products, lest
the vital forces Of the nation and our
allies suffer.
Whereas, Along with this patriotic
service willingly given, there rests up
on the nation mutual responsibility OF
giving the farmers absolutely square
deal in this hour of crisis.
Be It Further Resolved, That in or
der that the Government may act
wisely when the necessity may arise
it would be we'll for the Congress Of
the United States to authorize thu
Council of National Defense, if deem
ed necessary, to fix prices in such {
way as to guarantee the farmers Of
this community and of other commun'
tiles reasonable price for their pro-
ducts. We ask this, so that in case Of
a national emergency caused by q
temporary or local over-production, OF
by sudden ending of the war, or by
restraint of trade, manipulation OF
speculation, the producers may not be
required to suffer loss on account OF
extraordinary effort that they are ask
to make. Sincerely yours,

School Spirit

By Marie Cawley, { lass 1917.
School spirit is shown in ones at
titude, not only toward studies but to-
ward athletics and the ardent part of
school life.
A person with the right kind Of
school spirit is one who spends his
time wisely and who works for his
own good and the good of the school.
A student should spend sufficient time
on. his studies to be above grade and
keep up the standard of the school.
The recitation room is the place
where school spirit can be shown. If
a person remembers to be courteous
to his fellow students, as we'll as the
teacher, and pays attention to the dis
cussions taken up in the class room,
he is showing the right kind of spirit
The success or defeat of football
or basket ball team should mean as
much to the students as to the play
ers. 1t is the duty of the people of
the school to support the teams and
everyone ought to attend the games
if it is at all possible to do so. If the
students do not take an interest in the
team and try to support it the play
ers cannot be expected to do their
best.
The boys can best show their inter-
est by coming out to practice and TAX
ing part in the gaines. There are al
ways a few who have the interest of
the school at heart and do their best
but these few cannot do it all. There

Pig Skins and Steer Hides Best Grains
Coclye m tho Eor,,,

Sacks on the Farm.
Pig skin and steer hides are the
best grain sacks a man can have ON
the farm, says the International Har-
vester Company. War does not keep
a cow from giving milk nor a hen
from laying eggs.
The one safe way to success against
unfavorable markets, opposing Gle
mate conditions and destructive in
sect life, is to have something to sell
every week in the year. The way to
do this is to grow grass for pastures,
clover, timothy, alfalfa for hay, corn.
oats barley, flax and wheat for grain.
have some cows, few steers, pigs and
chickens and we will prosper and be-
come independent. This system spells
success for US no matter who we are
or where we live.
A Silo on Every Farm
A silo should be part of the per-
manent improvements on every farm.
It is essential for the economical feed
ing of live stock and especially for the
economical productions of beef and
milk. The results of hundreds of feed
ing experiments in the past ten years
with silage as a part of the ration,
give proof of it's great value to the
farmer.
When you feed fodder to the cattle,
there is a great deal Of loss. Cattle
refuse to eat the stocks and they are
wasted.
The acids and the juices in the sill
age aid digestion and help the stock
utilize other feeds such as oat straw
and other cheap roughage. Silage
and clover or alfalfa hay make one
of the most satisfactory and economic
cal rations we can get for cattle. Many
herds this year did very we'll on noth-
ing but clover hay and silage. The
more silage and clover hay we have
the more grain we will have left to
sell.
Every farmer who has fair
amount of live stock and can do so
should have a silo.
A Few Silo Reasons.
More feed can be stored in a given
space in the form of silage than in the
form of fodder or hay.
There is a smaller loss of food ma
terial when a crop is made into sill
age, than when cured as fodder or
hay.
Corn silage is better feed than corn
fodder.
More stock can be kept on a given
area Of land when silage is the basis
of the ration.
Converting the corn crop into silage
clears the land and leaves it ready for
another crop.
