FROM PORTRAIT
PAINTER TO ROLE
Of FARMERETTE

In Indiana portrait painter, who
belongs equally to American and
Europe, worked as farmcrctta dur
ing the past season, regardless alike
of cold rain or midsummer heat.
She went into the harvest fields be-
fore sun-up to help gather the grain.
and finished her labors by helping
the farmers wife wash the dishes.
1t is a long step in industry from
painting princesses, celebrities and
millionaires to shocking oats, but
Mrs. Mira Edgerly, artist, traveller,
and citizen of the world, has proved
that she can do the one as well as
the other. She says, moreover, that
she found one task quite as inter
esting as the other. She is widely
known in Washington, which has
just learned OF her experience.
Fannette BY Accident.
Mrs. Edgerly became i farmette
quite by accident. She did not be-
long to unit of the Woman's Land
Army. She made her experiment
alone. 1t just happened. she says,
for she had spare month not pro-
, vided for in her plans. She had gone
! 10 Chicago, after several weeks had
paused in Washington, d. C., TO
execute an important commission.
War work called the man who was
TO sit for his portrait out of the
city, so Mrs. Edgerly sought place
in the country where she could real
ly rest. Someone directed her to La
Porte and thence she ventured TO
Westville, where she found board
on 4 farm.
In Washington, the artist had
been engaged for several months
in making character studies OF men
and women whose names are known
in the great world An exhibition OF
portraits marked "Edgerly," had at
tracted much attention and she had
more requests for sittings than she
could grant, for her fame had pre-
ceded her. She had painted the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught,
Princess Dolgouriski, Princess Hen
ry of Pless, the Duchess OF Hamil-
ton. and many other titled persons
too numerous TO count. She had
journeyed to India to paint a vice
roy and had circled the globe, COM
ing back to New York to execute
commissions from Mrs. Seward
Webb, Mrs. James A. Borden, and
Mrs. Willard Straight. Her last fin

Mrs. Edward B. Mclean, and little
Vincent Mclean, known far and
wide as the wealthiest child in the
world.
From the mansions of the million
aires, where she had been working
with brush and colors, Mrs. Ed
gerly stepped into neat, homelike
western farmhouse, one morning in
midsummer. She caused something
of a sensation and aroused more or
less suspicion by bringing with her
many trunks filled with canvases,
paints, and souvenirs OF foreign
travel, as we'll as queer garments
that later were to cause sensation
in Westville. The odd garments
were English riding breeches, which
were to be worn in the most extra
ordinary pastime ever INDUCED in
by their owner.
Found Labor Shortage.
A days stay on the farm revealed
labor shortage. The oats were
ready for harvesting and it was i'm
possible to hire any extra help"
Five or six families owned thresh-
er and other machinery in common
and they had revived the old system
OF cooperation that results iii what

used to be called "bees," all concen-
trating on field until the grain had
been safely garnered.
For years Mrs. Edgerly had been
interested in studying labor prob
lens. She had theories about ones
relation to the land and the situa-
ton which confronted her seemed to
make distinct appeal.
She decided to volunteer as a
hand" The farmer to whom she
made the offer OF assistance accept
ed her on probation, for he was
becoming accustomed to the neces-
sity that made his wife and daugh-
tiers valuable aids in the lighter
forms of field labor, and the artist
who is tall straight, and athletic,
appeared TO be promising as he'll
per.
1t was when the new hand re-
ported for work in the field that her
attire caused sensation. Mrs. Ed
gerly wore her riding breeches, her
riding boots and sleeveless jacket.
The members OF the five tamllieS
who had assembled for the '"bee =
looked askance at the costume. Tor
the regular farmette bloomerS had
not been introduced into that part
of the State. The artist was as
signed to work with girl school
teacher, a daughter OF one OF the
farmers. She describes her expert
ence with nthusiasm.

FLOOD WATERS DO
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE
SalUda and Rccdy Rivers at .I!ial.

NiHS" "aiHfhhI Nl2it,
Heavy rains on the watersheds of
the Saiuda and Rccdy Rivers Friday
and Saturday caused the highest wa
tors in those streams in a number of
years and resulted in considerable dam
age along the river banks. Rccdy
River rO#c 70 a high stage in the city
OF Grcunyillo and did damage TO rail
roads and manufacturing plants
amounting 10 several hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars.
The waters Of both rivers rose to
a high level in this and adjoining
counties. The power plants of the
Rccdy River and Sullivan power con-
panics on Recdy River were flooded
Saturday night and the machinery has
not dried out sufficient for operation
since then. Power for the city has
been intcrmttcntly furnished by the
Watts Mill and the city cmcrgcncy
station. Neither Of these plants could
give constant current, however. as the
watts Mills had its own load to pull
in day time and tho emergency plant
was taxed in keeping water in The
&tand-piDc. 1t is understood that The
power plants on RcCdy River will not
be ready for service again for several
days.
