The Hunter Collection
Of Oriental Objects

When the japanese color prints as
sembled by tho late Frederick William
Hunter were sold not long ago they
gave an uncommonly good account of
his taste. It was plain that he had
had dair for tho right print, the
discexnment which In based not merely
on knowledge, but on sure instinct.

instead Of the composite, neutralized,
compromising thing which IL offered
as a jury's opinion, but which really
represents no member Of the jury. If
people say the Independent shows are
bad they must mean that American art
is bad, for no one can deny that those
exhibitions represent American art in
all its phases and with examples from
every corner Of the country. Suppose
they are bad shows. Would It not be
all the more necessary to give them,
for 1t Is only by seeing what we are
about that we can learn to do better"
We call Mr.. Pach's observations
illuminating, for they give away with
both hands the naive assumption on
which . pathetic fallacy is founded.

A SHARP CONTRACT.

President Wilson sought to gain
political advantage for his party by
urging the governor of California to
mitigate the sentence of Mooney, the
convicted murderer. He again invaded
tie sacred rights of state when he
endeavored to prevail upon the gov
ernor of Utah to commute the SEN
tence of the anarchist Hilstrom who
had been condmned to death for muir
der. Now the President seeks to cur
ry political favor with the women by
asking the governor of Tennessee to
call special session of the legislature
to ratify the suffrage amendment and
thus furnish the single state necessary
to give women the vote In addressing
the Tennessee governor he put party
exigency first as the reason for his
request and makes no pretense that
his primary desire is that women
should have the vote.
ut would be a real service to the
party" wrote the President" and to
the nation if it is possible for you
to call special session of the legis-
lature of Tennessee to consider the
suffrage amendment. Allow me to urge
this very earnestly"
In refreshing contrast to the Presi-
dents bold attempt to coerce state
in utter disregard of the rights re-
served to it by the Federal Constitu-
ton is Senator Harding's refusal to
do that very thing. Without any sor-

Harding declares that nothing would

PRAISES EASTERN
STATE NORMAL
City's Oldest School Teacher Is Taking
Training At State Normal School
and Is Loud In Praise Of
Faculty and Management.

Mr.. Berry is very enthusiastic in HI;
praise of the school, in the work 1t is
doing, the admirable manner in which
its affairs are being administered, ana
in the wonderful service, which
through the multitude of its noble
young men and women it is giving to
the world in this time of its stupendu-
Gus need.
The number enrolled for the present
summer term is about 100 men and 500
! women. This is the highest number
ever enrolled in the history of the
school, except for the year 19l6-l916
and is q per cent. more than the en-
rollment of the summer of 1919. How
ever this enrolment would have been
much greater than 1t now is if those
in charge could have had adequate
facilities for housing and feeding
Plans are now of foot to remedy these
conditions. $l50,00O has been appro-
priated to add to both the mems and
womens dormitiories. The improve
ments contemplated will provide room
for about 100 more women and about
60 more men. The plans for these
buildings are now in the hands of the
| building committee, and it is their pur-
pose to begin their erection at an early
date an dto push their completion to as
early time as possible so that they
may be ready for occupancy by the be-
ginning Of the year 1921 While every

Nelson Farmers VIII Test Cows.


Farmers of Nelson county have or
ganized COW testing association, with
twenty members, who own 1865 cows.
E. NJ. Prewitt, of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, and County Agent c.
l.. Hill, of Nelson county, assisted in
the work of forming the organization.
This makes the fifth such association
in the state, the purpose of the COW
testing association is to test grade
cows for the per centage of butter fat
in their milk and thus to determine
which are best fitted for milking pur-
poses.
The Department of Dairy Extension
has also established three Register of
Merist Associations, where official reg
istration can be had for cattle that
fulfill the requirements of the organ
ization. These two movements, both of
them recent, mark long step forward
in the increase of both the quality and
quantity of the dairy products of the
state, inasmuch as they offer some

CHICAGO.-With hand as
steady as tho he were performing
the simplest of operations, DR.. Or
lando P. Scott, we'll known surgeon
of Chicago, calmly rested on a hospi-
tai table at his wife's bedside and cut
strip after strip of flesh from his
own thighs and grated them onto
his wife's foot and ankle.
The entire operation, outdoing the
greatest story of heroism from the
Spartan legends, was performed
without the single administration OF
an anesthetic. Not once did Dr.
Scott vince in pain as he drove the
surgeons knife into his flesh. A.

from his body, he coolly performed
the difficult work of grating upon

wounds.

get busy advocating something else
to pull the public away from the
other. That got so it was SO ap-
parent, that each one got to playing
the game thru an understudy. For
example, if Hart wanted to develop
public park or municipal skating
rink or some other laudable thing
he would suggest it to Ed Ellsworth,
Jr., and he would digest the idea
make it his own, and go about talk
ing it up. Hart would give it his
endorsement, and the Hart crowd
from the top of the First National
Bank down to the foot of the Wo-
mans relief corps would be for it.
That would put I1ill in position
that would be unpleasant to Hill,
and he would do some thinking. He
would not come out openly against
Harris plan, but he would advocate
something else and get Dan McCarty
interested in it, and Dan would go
out putting 1t across. Hill would
hear of it and would look favorably
upon it, and he and all his friends
would get behind it.
David Harum said of horse trad
ing, do to the other fellow as he
is trying to do to you, and do it
first" Hill and Hart operate on
that plan, and whichever one gets
in first knows that he will be safe
in expecting some counter proposal
that amounts to flat opposition from
the other. In the last tussel Dan Nc
Carly came out ahead for mayor,
said to have been elected by vote of
two to one. The Hill fellows will
tell you that Hart lost because he
tried so hard to tell people where
to head in" The Hart crowd claim
that there is pretty sure to be a
Hill in front of their wheel every
time they try to do anything for the
town. Because of that everlasting
opposition the town does not forge
ahead like it ought to. If one of
the big leaders does not sue
coed in blocking the other ones
plans, the people become disguised
and lose interest. But that is only
partly true, for the town FORCES
ahead, either because of somebody's
pluck or in self defense by reason of
the rich country around it.
Now if you live in some town in
the Snake river valley, you can read
this article again and write in the
