Around the Consolidated School

The Alberta school had it's usual
large exhibit at the county fair this
year. The different kinds of school
ing, manual training, canning, gar
dening, rope work, map drawing,
penmanship, spelling, arithmetic,
weaving, paper cutting, booklet
work. The primary department won
the first prize in the county contest.
This department is taught again this
year by Miss Dale Wetzel or Deer
wood, Mimi. A very interesting
feature of this department exhibit
was the paper cutting work, repre-
senting Camp Wadsworth, including
tents, chairs for band practice, head
quarters, Red Cross quarters, air
ships, cannons, soldiers and officers,
stacked arms, etc.
The school as whole won its usual
quota of fine prizes this year, aggre-
eating to a handsome sum for the
boys and girls.
For the fifth year now Alberta has
retained the championship in corn
growing. All the big prizes again
went to the Alberta Consolidated
School. Fred again won the blue
ribbon on his white dent corn. Glenn
Plocker won second, winning the
red ribbon on his Wisconsin Silver
King. Glenn made big hit with
this beautiful exhibit corn. His corn
plot furnished the seed to fill the
splendid seed house on his fathers
farm. Glenn is one of the sbig guns"
among the winners of the Alberta
district. He has always during these
five years been one of the highest
winners, winning big money in cash
prizes during this time. He will
never rest until he gets the blue rib
bon. His corn plot was one of the
finest sights in the boys and girls
club work this summer. He is will
ing to sell some of his splendid corn
to other club members to start them
out with this wonderful corn.
The third prize in corn was won
by a very faithful club member,
Steven Satzer. Steve was at the rear
end of the corn business all these
wears, but now he suddenly forged
to the front with his splendid acre
and exhibit of Minnesota No. IS. He
even hoed his corn twice this sum-
mer. Determined effort, good man
agement, and faithful work caused
Steve to win out and give even the

HElNZ'S GREAT COLLECTION
Ivory Carvings Owned by P~ittsburphsr

During many years II. ]. Heinz of
Pittsburgh has gathered together one
Of the finest collections OF ivory cary
lngs In America. There are probably
a dozen notable collections Of this
sort ln the country. and among them
the Heinz group OF 1900 pieces holds
distinguished rank. says a writer In
Scribner's.

ms typical OF the artistic development
OF the time In which they were pro-
duced. They represent the art. more
over, not OF one people. OF one period,
but, II Is scarcely an exaggeratlon to
say. OF all peoples and all periods.
From prehistoric ages down through
the civilizations OF Egypt and Assyria
and OF classic Greece and Rome have
come priceless examples of sculptured
worries. The dark g OF Europe. so
meager In artistic treasures. have be-
queathed al an unbroken chain of
ivory carvings. Much Of the most In
teresting OF such work must be accred-
tied TO the centuries OF the Gothic re-
vlyal. the thirteenth. fourteenth and
fifteenth. The Renaissance and the
centuries succeeding have yielded a
wealth OF carved worries OF great rich
ness and beauty. From India, China
aud japan come worries Of deep his
toric interest and especially In the
work OF japan, OF genuine artistic
achievement.
Periods OF exceptional turbulence,
such as the fall OF Constantinople. the
reformation In England and the French
revolution. have caused the destruction
OF Incompatible treasures. That 80
much has survived seems cause for
wonder. The explanation lies In the
very nature Of the carvings.

the needs of the coming year, &C
cording to the preliminary returns
from the seed-production survey OF
July 1, 1918, and crop reports from
important commercial seed growers.
In some cases where the condition of
crops is not satisfactory increased
acreages are expected to bring the
total production up to normal, while
more than normal production of seed
is indicated for some kinds of vege-
tables. This condition, 1t is pointed
out. does not necessarily mean a large
surplus, for it is known that large
orders have been placed for certain
vegetable seeds by foreign concerns
