he is standing is the only clearly de-
fined object, as the background is the
early morning mist, through which
the rays of the early sun are trying
feebly to pierce.
A splendid piece of painting, in
opinion of critics, is Galt's picture
entitled "Moonlight," which is study
showing reclining nude figures
beneath tree. The effect is styled
as very decorative. Among the por-
traits is one of the two sons of Ken
meth F. Burnes. The two boys dress
ed in sailor suits are resting ON a
couch, and the bright color tone of
the study is heightened Ayh'Q7Ae
effect of sunlight coming in toMf ne
open door. The picture is aaegarded
as most pleasing, not only in its sub
ject but also in the artists clever
treatment.
"Before the Mirror" and "Woman
with Brass Bowl,n are studies in the
nude which demonstrate the artists
versatility. The handling Of the flesh
tones is praised by all visitors atten-
dauts at the studio say. The picture
of the woman with the brass bowl
shows nude figure at full length be-
side a wall foun tain. The bowl is
clasped tightly to one side of the
woman and she has turned her head
and is gazing down into the contents
of the bowl.
A bit of landscape which followers
of the school of the late f. 0. Sylves-
ter will hold especially q ar is the
landscape entitled "The BIZ lisa,
Ill.," because it was in THAI V hity
that the famous painter of Upper
Mississippi River scenes received
some Of his best inspirations. "The
Bluffs at Elsa, I'll. }" shows two women,
one of them reclining in the grass,
gazing dreamily out over the expanse
of the Mississippi, the cloud and sky
effect lending the idea of the magni-
fcent sweep of the Father of the
Waters to the picture.
What many consider the best land
scape in the collection is winter
scene entitled February" It is a
snow scene, showing wonder full
perspective and rare treatment of
color, the desolation of q winter day
in the country toward late afternoon
being the predominant note of the
study. In the left foreground is s
stream partly frozen over, while here
and there bare twigs and branches
sticking up above the snow furnish
bits of sombre color upou the white
expanse. In the background the trees,
with patches Of white showing through
the bare trunks, is excellently indi-
Gated, few stray leaves still hang
| ing from the branches. At the right
center on a knoll partly swept bare
of snow is a house apparently uninhab-
tied, and adding rather than detract-
| ing from the desolation of the scene.

Krenning was arrested in the Or.

complaint of persons seated near him
that he had uttered disloyal remarks
after a picture of President Wilson

case has been exertcd on officers oi

Partnership Returns Required.

Every partnership doing business in
the Eastern District of Missouri, no
matter whether much or little, must
make an income tax return to Inter
nal Revenue Collector, Geo. H.
Moore, at st. Louis.
This is the first time that this re-
quirement has been made to apply to
all partnerships. Heretofore partner
ships having more than 100000 net
incomes had to make return for ex-
cess profit taxes. The present re-
quirement entails no tax whatever.
The return is for information of the
Government and must set out in de-
tail the transactions Of the partner
ship, sum up the net income and give
the names and addresses of all part
ners and the respective shares to
which they are entitled in the partner
ship proceeds.
These partnership returns must be
in the Collectors Office not later thar
June 10Th to avoid penalties. Forms
on which to make these returns may
be had by writing to the Collector
The number of the form is 1865 and
it is up to the partnership, under the
new law, to procure them and make
return.
Having made NO returns previous
ly, there is no list of partnerships IL
the Collectors Office at present tt
whom to mail returns without reques
except those who made the excess
profits tax return last year and these
form only small number of the
whole.
| It is the desire of the Collector tina
partnerships act promptly in making
their requests in order that they may
receive their forms and get their re
turns made within the time set, June
18th, SO that it will not be necessary t
penalize anybody for failure to file al
required by the new Revenue Law.

Examine Wheat Field for Hessian Fly.

Hessian fly infestation, which has
occurred from the spring brood Of
flies, can be most easily determined
by examining the wheat fields just
previous to harvest. The spring
brood of flies lay their eggs after the
wheat has begun TO joint. These eggs
are laid on the new leaves and most
of the maggots come to rest at the
first, second, or third joints. The in
jury which results causes the wheat
stems to become weak and brittle at
these joints. In addition, infested
plants are usually smaller and may
not have the head filled with grain.
Fields infested with Hessian fly lodge
badly just previous to harvest.
BY examining fields after the wheat
has headed out before il is cut, fly
infested plants can be found easier
than at any other time, says @. @.
Hamilton, of the University of Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture. Exam
inc first the fallen or lodged plants
and the plants with small or untitled
heads. If large percentage .of the
wheat is found infested, and the con-
dition is prevalent throughout the
neighborhood, the farmers should
cooperate to, rid the community Of
this pest by observing the measures
promulgated by the College of Agri-
culture.

What a Dollar is Worth.

One of the telling points being made
by w. r. Jackson OF Mexico, Mo-,
Director for AudrAin County, in his
address before War Savings Societies,
Is the statement of the value of dol
lar to- day as compared with what it
will be worth five years hence, when
the present series of War Savings
Stamps mature. -
"The dollar saved today will be
worth more than $1.50 then," he said.
"Of course refer to the buying pow
er of the dollar. The conditions that
exist now will have disappeared by
that time, and the normal will have
returned. All authorities on economics
agree that present prices cannot oe
maintained and that the dollar of
1924 will go much further, as a pur-
chasing medium, than the dollar spent
to-day.
History repeats itself. The value
of all staples Immediately following a
war have always been extremely
high, and these values have steadily
declined as business conditions read
just themselves
The argument is sound and the
saver of War Savings Stamps may
reasonably expect much greater
return than the interest of four per
cent, compounded quarterly, which is
assured by the Government.

Display of Paintings by St. Louis Artist.
tst. Louis Globe-Democrat.l

(St. Louis obe-Democrat.)
An exhibition of recent pictures
by Charles F. Gait of 1921 Washington
avenue at the Noonan- -Kocian gal
leries, Tenth and Locust streets, is
attracting much attention and favor
able comment from artists and art
lovers in st. Louis.
The exhibition will continue until
May 81. The collection, which con-
sists Of twenty y-four pictures, en-
braces variety of subjects from por-
traits of widely known st. Louisans
to. some exceptionally well-handled
landscape. The impressionistic work
of the artist is shown to advantage
in these themes.
Gait was born in st. Louis in 1884
and attended the st. Louis School of
Fine Arts, where he is now teaching,
and was also pupil of Richard Miller.
Gait was awarded the Bascom prize
in 1914 at the St. Louis Artists Guild
and the Mallinckrodt prize in 1917.
Among the portraits is one Of Mrs.
Gait, who was Miss Potter before her
marriage to the artist about six
months ago. The portrait, with one
OF Lieut.. Alexander Gait, brother OF
the artist, is much commented upon
by visitors. Ofspecial interest to ST.
Louisans also isethe portrait Of Miss
Louise Jameson, daughter OF j. P
Jameson, an architect. Another one
OF the subjects from life is o charm
Ing portrait of the late Mrs Truman
P. Young.
"The End Of the Day." one of the
quiet landscape effects, shows farm.
or bringing in his team, with darkness
already lowering over the landscape
and the nearby wheat field. Only 9
few tinted clouds overhead show
that the sun has just gone down. The
pastoral effect and somber tones re-
call MilIet's treatment of peasant llft
in France.
A contrast is the picture entitled
"summer," which is study in brigh
colors, depicting q summer day land
scape, the bright yellow Of midday
sun offering striking contrast to thu
deep green Of the vegetation. The
picture entitled Morning" is regard
ed by friends OF the painter as one o
his best impressionistic productions
equal in clever handling of the brusf
to some of the best of the modern
school. The picture shows fisher
man in the act Of pulling his net ou
pf the water. The little boat in whicl
