- The style OF a great master is born
with him. 1t seems, even in his
pupilage to flow in some magical
fashion from his finger tips. But for
the rest Of us it is a thing to be
achieved. 20 be beaten out and grown
into as the years go on. Some such
reflections as these are peculiarly pro-
ycked by Mr.. Augustus Vincent Tack,
who has all exhibition Of his recent
paintings at the Kraushaar Gallery.
Several years since, certain large
Scriptural subjects of his disclosed him
as wrestling with a technical method
and not quite conquering it. Then, q
year ago, in another exhibition he re
ported progress, as it were. Progress
had been made, unmistakably. And if
VIC may judge from the present dis
play, he is that rare type Of artist, the
type that cannot stand still. He is more
sklful in 1918 than he was in 1917.
That, by itself, cxcites interest in his
work
There were one or two portraits in
his collection last year, performances
having undeniablc vitality, but handi-
capped by the painters difficulty in
o}ercoming the stubbornness of his
medium. The single portrait he now
exhibits is still a little "painty," but
it is, on the whole, more suavely
handled than its predecessors. But il
is not in his portrature that Mr.. Tack
gives us the most beguiling account of
himself. Where ne excels is in the
painting Of romantic landscapes. The
romance in them is not of the obvious
sort He does not dramatize nature,
does he seek by the employment of
any farfetched accessories to justify
his rather esoteric titles, "The En-
chanted Lake. "Forgotten Poem"
Hidden Waters and so on. The
figures in the "Forgotten Poem" for
example, arc almost negligible, as fig

Of feeling, of delicate sentiment very
subtly expressed.
If he has not style at his finger tips
he has fantasy there, at all events, q

his own atmosphere. In the "Cre-

makes you feel that you are in the
presence of nature and makes you
aware of the special charm character

perhaps, and besides that it is original

handling, is gaining in quality and
beauty. If it needs anything it needs
clarifcation. The limpid tones which
he appears to have secured with such
ease in the delightful "Crepuscule'
are not by any means always charac-
teristic Of him. More often, in fact
they get perilously near to being
turbid, as though he fell upon moods
of uncertainty and could not use his
brush with the sureness manifested in
the picture just cited. But at bot

whole reveals a personality bound to
excite sympathy, no matter how un-
evenly it is expressed.
Landscapes by Mr.. George lnness, jr.,
have occasionally come into view in
our local exhibitions, but we do not
recall ever having encountered before
such a representative collection of his
works as that which may now be seen
at the Edison Shop Gallery. These
thirteen pictures revive again the ques-
ton of style. The elder Inness, as we
all know, was d man of genius, who

STOUGHTON

Word comes from Los Angeles, CAL,
of the marriage of Chas. r. Parish OF
that city to Miss Nancy M. Edwards of
New York City, young lady OF great
beauty and rare accomplishments. The
ceremony was performed June 25th at
San Diego, Cal, where the newlyWeds
will spend the summer. Mr.. Parish
for many years was resident OF this
city and was editor and publisher of
the Stoughton Courier for long time.
F. ate so decreed that the first Slough
ton soldier boy to set foot upon French
soil last year should also be the first to
be wounded. Conservation Warden
Andrew Sampson last Saturday even
ing received a dispatch form Washing
ton announcing that his son Otis had
been severely wounded in action on
June 18th. Otis is a member of Go. q
of the 18th Regular infantry and was
with General Pershing's first expedi-
tionary force which landed in France
the latter part of June of last year, so
that at the time he was wounded he
had been in France year lacking only
a few days, and in that period had
seen considerable service.
Mrs. Betsey Gunderson died at the
home of her son, G. E. Gunderson, who
resides on the Edgerton road about
three miles from Stoughton, Sunday
night at the age of 85. The deceased
was a native of Norway coming to this
country in 1914. Her marriage to Mr..
Gunderson was her second. She is sur
Vived by three sisters and two brothers
besides the step-son at whose home she
died.
Andrew Sperle, who has been at
Rochester, Mimi, for several weeks
being treated for cancer, died there
Sunday afternoon. The deceased was
80 years of age and native of Nor
way where his parents still reside. He
came to this country about eight years
ago. He was a carpenter by trade,
employed at Madison when called to
the colors and was in training at Camp
Grant six months before being dis
charged because of the infirmity.

AMERICAN FIREMEN
Service on New Merchant Ships At
tracts Fine Type of Men.

When the war began a large number
of the firemen on American merchant
vessels were foreigners. Spaniards
and Portuguese especially favored this
branch of seafaring.
AS national sentiment favoring
great merchant marine rose in volume,
the sentiment that the new ships
should have all-American crews rose
with it. AS a result, a great change
is taking place in the character OF the
men found in the fireroOms Of Ameri-
can ships.
1t is now possible to find ships with
entire fireroom and engineroom forces,
from coal passer to chief engineer,
simon-pure Americans.
The young American is now encour-
aged to enter the coal bunker or fire
room. He knows he will be we'll paid,
well treated, and have a good chance
for promotion.
The coal passer soon gets to be
fireman. The fireman graduates into
the position of oiler or water tender,
and in due time, when he has mas
tered the details of his business in one
of these berths, he may take examina-
tons for a third assistant engineers
license.
If he wants to take a special course
of study in marine engineering before
going up for a license, he has the op-
portunity of entering free engineer
ing school, at a technical college,
where he will receive a special course
of instruction, at the expense OF the
United States shipping board, the gov
eminent department having in charge
the manning of the merchant marine.
On obtaining his license, the ma
rine engineer finds himself among
class of highly-paid, clean-cut, intel
ligent men, who are proud of their
profession.
These rewards of hard work and APP
plication are attracting fine class OF
young men to the firerooms of the new
ships being built for the merchant ma
rine under the direction of Charles M.
SchWab.
Not less than 1900 young men are
wanted every month by the United
States shipping board recruiting serv-
ice. to be placed on training ships, to
be prepared for fireroom service.
Annlicants may enroll for this serv-
ice at any one of more than 5000 drug
store recruiting stations maintained by
the shipping board in the cities and
larger towns Of the country.

CORRESPONDENCE
FORT ATKINSON

On Monday, July 1st, Fort Atkinson
officially re-established its standing as
a wet town. Eightsaloons were opened
on that day and will continue business
during the ensuing year unless licenses
are revoked for any fragrant violation
of law.
Sunday morning the local command
of the state guard marched to Jeffer-
son and uniting with the Jefferson com
pany and troop of boys from Belolt
engaged in battalion drill at the fair
grounds. The work was carried on as
a part of the patriotic Sunday pro-
gram.
Fort Atkinson pasted Kaiser Bill last
Friday and she did it with vengeance.
Our citizens, almost to man, woman
and child, showed praiseworthy pa
triotism and keen foresight in the
pledging of War Savings Stamps. The
quota for the city was ST., 300. With
the little green stickers already sold
since the first of the year and with
those pledged on Friday, the total to
date stands at 500, 900, or S48, 700 over
the amount the city was asked to sub
scribe.
We understand that the Fort Atkin-
son Canning Co. will make preparation
the coming fall to store and thoroughly
dry out seed corn for farmers who will
bring them the selected corn for the
purpose. The company has the room
and steam heating facilities to handle
a large amount of seed corn and put it
in perfect condition to withstand the
disastrous effects of freezing. II once
the cob is thoroughly dried out before
freezing weather sets in, the seed will
stand pretty severe cold and not hurt.
But it is better and safer, however, to
keep it at 40 to so degrees all winter
long after drying out.

Marriage Within the Period
Ruled Illegal.

Madison, July 10.-The Wisconsin
supreme court put teeth into the one
year clause of the divorce law, holding
that a marriage consummated within
