The Brinkman holdings at River
side are ideally located and the spot
is one of the most picturesque on
the river in this vicinity. At the
foot of the embankment is a dock
at which were moored rowboats and
a small motor launch. 1t has also
been discovered that the motor boat
has been stolen, although Wailin
denies any hand In it..
Robbery is Discovered:
Mr.. Brinkman mad sent man to
the farm to haul load Of potatoes
and when at the place happened to
notice a painting in the yard. He
also happened to notice a piece OF ex-
pensive chinaware in the yard and
an investigation showed the place
had been plundered. He reported the
fact to the Brinkmans and they at
once suspected Wallin, as he has a
record as a thief. A search warrant
was secured and Chief Ripple went
to the Wallin home yesterday and
searched the house. He discovered
that Wallin had transferred the con-
tents OF the Brinkman home to his
own. The loot included clothing be-
longing to Mrs. Brinkman, Mr..
Brinkman, potato planter, meat
grinder, chinaware, pillows, tools,
typewriter, gun, fancy work, and
practically everything that Wallin
could lay his hands on.
Leniencv for Wife.
The accused admitted the theft.
His wife is of a good. family and it
was on her account that leniency
was shown, but Wallin was informed
that the next time he would go to
the penitentiary as his present Of
fense was good for five years.
Wallin Proven Thief.
Wallin is the chap who stole
calf from Ed Paulson not long ago
and sold it to butcher for few
dollars. He was arrested and fined
SIS or "do a stretch" ia the county
Jail. He paid the fine and also paid
Mr.. Paulson for the calf and was
released.
In the neighborhood where Wallin
lives the neighbors report the steal
ing of washings from clotheslines
and also other things from their
premises.

The Use andNecessity ofArt

is not drawing, but design, or drawing
in its practical sense, that kind OF
drawing which is every day being

RAIL WAY HEAD HAS
PLEA To THE SOUTH

WASHINGTON, d. c., April IL
Our participation in the war against
Germany makes it more than ever i'm
portant that every Southern farmer
shall produce the foods and feedstuffs
needed for the people and animals on
his farm and a surplus for SALE" said
President Fairfax Harrison, of the
Southern Railway system, today.
Vast quantities of foods and for
age will be required for our own army
and navy, ard for our allies in Eu-
rope These requirements for carry
ing on the war must be met, even
though our people at home have to be
put on short rations. There is every
reason to believe that prices of foods
and feedstuffs will be high. and, while
it is the patriotic duty of every South
ern farmer to produce not only
enough to supply himself, but a sur
plus for sale, he will find it profitable
to do so. 1t should be impossible to
find farm anywhere in the South
without a home garden. The armies
and navies of the United States, and
our allies will require large quantities
of meats and the meat supply OF the
world is short. There is no part OF
the United States in which meat can
be produced more profitably than IN
the South, and every Southern farmer
should at once adopt the policy OF pro-
ducing more than enough meat to sup
ply his own requirements. But, how
ever high prices may DO, he should
not yield to the temptation to sell his
breeding animals. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that live stock prices will be high
for years to come, and the farmer who
parts with breeding animals now will
be cutting off large future profits.

Limit Not Suggested.

In none of these definitions is t
suggested that art is limited to paint
ing, sketching or sculpture. OF course
accurate drawing is greatly to be de
sired and cultivated; but we must
remember it takes a trained mind and
hand beyond the power of little chill
dren. Children in the first grade can
be taught rhythm. balance and the
beautiful arrangements of shapes and

Is Essential Every where.

l believe there are few subjects in
which a knowledge of art is not help
full and that there are few vocations
in which knowledge of drawing is
not almost essential.
Art is beginning to be closely allied
with the industrial pursuits, and in
dustry is our nations life. Manufac-
turers are awakening to the real value
of art quality in their products and
this means an increasing demand for
the skilled workman, one who can with
trained mind and hand change mere
utility into utility plus beauty.
Drawing should be taught in GU
schools because of it's commercial val

can working people today are those
who are designing rugs, wall papers,
furniture, jewelry. textiles and the
many other things that are valued ac-

| an example a man of whom l have
recently heard, educated in the public
schools of Chicago, earning salary
of eight thousand dollars a year for
designing umbrella handles.
Next, it seems to me that one OF
the chief functions of public are educa-
ton is in cultivating public taste.
Someone has said, Beauty is human
necessity, and taste is the faculty for
discerning and reverencing it."
The opinion seems to be held by
somt that the thing we call taste is the
exclusive possession of the artist, but
the taste faculty, like other faculties, is
developed only by constant exercise,
and continued problems requiring
choice between the good and the bad.
Every time We make a selection for
ourselves, our homes or our friends,
we put ourselves on record as possess
ing taste or lacking it. The sense to
love and reverence all beauty should
not be left to a few people in com
munity, but it should be cultivated in
all the children of all the people.
1t is said that in the United States
our taste in architecture, sculpture,
painting and home furnishing was at
its lowest ebb, when public art educa-
ton was most neglected. There is so
much to be said of the Importance OF
drawing in the school that feel that
can scarcely touch upon it.
1t trains the eye accurately and the
hand skillwully. 1t strengthens the
powers of observation. 1T is the I'M
iversal language; it has the gift OF
speaking to every nation in its own
tongue" 1t speaks to children from
the blackboards and translates vague
ness into truth. 1t is given the most
valuable space in our daily news
papers and it fills the pages of opr
magazines.
am sure no one believes it is the
purpose of the public school drawing
teacher to create artists. The aim is
training. development We hape by
making the hand skillful, the eye
quick and the judgment true, to help
the boy who wishes to be surgeon to
be a better surgeon, or the girl who
wishes to be a miliner to be better
milliner, and so on through all the
professions The aim is efficiency.
distinguished educator has said,
"A fundamental subject is one out OF
which other subjects grow" When We
think of the many professions and vo-
cations which grow directly from
drawing, it would seem that every one
must realize its importance in the

Napoleon in looking to the future,
saw that in order to create nation OF

color and design must be taught the

jects taught in the schools of France.
This may account for the fact that the
whole world looks to France for its
costume designers.

These excursions are very profitable

followed in an automobile. The roads
were very deep with mud, but the

ers, began the winter with ninety
