SHEPHERD HAILED AS ARTIST
Paul Darde, Farmers Son, Awarded
Paris Salon National Prize for
Sculpture.

Paris.-Paul Adolphe Darde, award
ed the envied Paris salon national
prize for his "Faun" and "Eternal Suf-
fering," is being greeted by critics as
4 genius.
Darde is not u trained artist In the
academic way. He was shepherd,
the son Of small farmer, and fought
in the World war. Today, though ia
nous, he is only thirty-one years old.
"I have no preference" Darde says.
"1 love all that is beautiful in art as
in life."
The "Faun" is massive, vigorous
conception. sneering, cynical and SEN
sual. "Eternal Suffering" represents
woman's head. snake-entwined. with
a face upturned in anguish.
Darde works directly in marble with
out a wax or plaster model.

TRADING IN AUSTRIA

where linen shirt, silk stockings
(even much darned), rugs, musical in
struments, shoes and such things bring
results.
The story Of how the bourgeoisie and
poor nobility Of Vienna have part
ed with their wardrobes and furniture,
their pianos and carpets, for food, has
been often told. Now everyone is
getting back to first principles in
trade.
Visiting a retired officer in his lit
tie country place the correspondent
saw 1t work. The officer could not
pay 500 crowns a pair for gloves for
wife and three daughters. But he
had three roebuck hides from the ami
mails he had shot this season. He
exchanged them for two dressed hides.
The village glover made them into
gloves, taking in payment cider, NUT
ton and some veal from the little
farm.
Then came the problem Of stock
ings. almost unpurchasable in Aus
tria. There were II sheep grazing
on the place. Sheared they yielded
enough wool to exchange for yarn suf-
ficient to knit the family hosiery for
the coming winter.
The apple crop of this tiny estate
has been mortgaged for grain to a
neighbor who has no fruit and the
miller will take his pay in toll.

that saving for the shipping board,
which means for the United States
government, of $4,000 for food alone
and $4,000 for repairs was made. As
result Of this campaign at least one
arrest is expected when a certain ship
arrives in New York.
There are % lines under the ship
ping board which have vessels calling
at ports in this Jurisdiction. There
are on an average % vessels on hand
at all times. The average cost for
maintaining these is from 81 500 to S..
600 each per day. Before the war an
American vessel on the River Plate
was a curiosity.
$500, 600 for Repairs.
"Since the shipping board has no Of.
fees Of its own to take charge Of its
vessels in ports throughout the
world" continued Captain Garden. ut
was usually necessary to intrust the
care Of its ships to established agen.
cies. Many Of these steamship agents
had already for years been representa-
tives Of foreign and possibly compel.
Ing lines. The result has been that In
many cases American vessels have
been held back, while other ships were
given the preference, causing the ex.
penses Of American ships to mount up
through port charges and lost time.
"In all River Plate ports losses from
this source have been very great, az
well as those through overcharges for
supplies, repairs and so forth. There
is one case on record where an Amer.
lean ship was held up for months for
repairs and charges totaling $780, 900
were piled up against her. But we
are seeing to 1t now that shipping
board vessels get into port and get
away again without unnecessary de-
lay. The saving to the shipping board
from this attention undoubtedly will
be several hundred thousand dollars
annually"

Killed Bear With Axe.

Eugene. Ore. - Sidney Aldous, a
mountain rancher Of Alma, in the
western part Of Lane county, killed
big black bear with an axe a few
days ago. He and his brother, j. w.
Aldous, were hunting raccoons. Sid
ney carried an axe. An outcry among
the dogs in some brush caused Sidney
to investigate. He found the dogs had
freed n bear. His brother had gone on

Medium Of Exchange as Paper
Crowns Lose Value.
Peasant Demands Something More
Valuable Than Paper Currency
for His Products.

vienna.-Only Americans of a gen.
Grafton ago who traded farm products
at the crossroads store for everything
from shoes to sugar can realize the
extent Of barter in Austria today.
With the country flooded with cheap
money, the peasants stockings and
bank accounts fat with currency and
legislation impending for compul-
sorry levy on fortunes, the paper crown
virtually is spurned by those who pro-
duce the necessities Of life.
For eggs or butter, cheese or white
flour, fat geese and ducks, pork prod
ucts and all the things that the Aus
trian city dweller must do without,
the peasant wants something more
valuable than the paper constantly
turned out by the Austro-Hungarian
banks.
