Big Business Ways for Farmers,

When Congress lawsmiths have set
out to do anything for the American
farmer in the past they usually have
devoted themselves to trying to har.
ness rainbows as il they were a
span OF horses. But the agricultural
bloc" Of twenty-five United States
Senators looks like gun Of heavy
calibre. The farm laws the Senators
propose to put into effect look like a
reasonable. practical programme.
What the farmers need more than
anything else Is q thoroughly sys
tematized scheme Of cooperation
team work and operation on broad
gauge lines. American business did
not amount to much of anything at
home and it did not amount to any
thing at all abroad until it began to
consolidate and coordinate little units
into big business organizations. La
Dor unions got what they gained for
themselves by pulling together in
localities and forming alliances
throughout the country. American
transportation could not attain high
efficiency until the railroads of the
nation became linked physically, eco
nomically and financially.
But, except for well organized and
well managed Pacific coast associa
tions and few others such as are
known in the northeastern dairy and
fruit districts, the American farmer
has pretty much travelled alone and
on the whole has found his solitary
road a rocky one to journey.
1t will be as advantageous to the
farmers to produce, handle, finance
and market their cotton, grain and
vegetables in mass as 1t has beer
for the mills and factories to dc
their business on that modern basis.
1t is legitimate under proper re
strictions and it will be workable
under good organization and first
class management for the farmers tc
I concentrate their buying as well a.
/ their selling, to work out an exten
! sion and improvement of agricul
\ tural credits and to obtain more gen
eral benefits from the land banh
system.
\ This is what the Senators In the
Kenyon combination want to do fol
the farmers, and IL they go about II
the right way, with constructiv,
measures instead OF freak antics, they
can do it successfully as we'll al
legally. And when they hav,
achieved common effort and results II
the agricultural industry as they have
and elsewhere they viii have gone
good distance toward banishine
economic hallucinations that in the
past have periodically afflicted the
granger sections. with reflex mani
festations of them in the halls OF
Congress to make US the laughing
stock OF the world.
Organized and operating on the
modern big business basis, our farm
ers will lend a less ready ear TO the
political mountebanks who want ia
tell them how to make green cheese
out of the moon and golden eagles
out OF hot air. They will be more
interested in saving economic wood
and making real money.

The Artists Rights in His Works.

The rights of an artist in his
works and legal measures for their
protection have been matters OF
discussion as long as art works have
been a marketable commodity. The
increase in price OF painting, etch-
ing, engraving or piece of statuary
between the time wher the artist
parts with it and subsequent sale
has frequently been great enough TO
bring a considerable profit TO two or
three, or even more, purchasers. That
the producer of the work should re.
ceive no monetary benefit from this
increase because by its sale he sur
rendered all proprietary interest in II
has appeared to many persons to be
unjust. They have insisted that his
future rights in works he executed
should be protected by grants of
copyright or by some other provi-
sions similar to those by which an
authors or a composers interest in
his books or compositions is secured
for a limited number of years.
One solution has just been offered
by Belgium. The Chamber OF Depu-
lies on May IL passed a bill which
afterward became law by which an
artist or his heirs will receive a per-
centage Of the proceeds Of public
sales OF his works of art. For sales
producing from 800 to $1,000 he is
entitled to per cent. 1000 to $4,000
to per cent, and above $1,000 TO 6
per cent. This measure is somewhat
similar to that which has prevailed
in France for several years and which
came into force at about the same
time that heavy tax was assessed
on the sale of the works of masters
to be taken out OF France.
The same question arose in Eng
land a few months ago when the
portrait Of the Beckford children by
GEORGE RoMNEY in the Duke of HAM
ILroN's collection was sold at public
auction. There was then a strong
appeal made 10 British patriotism
for the retention OF the work in
England. and the point was brough
ont that the amount paid for
this one painting, $4,000 guineas, was
as much as, IL not more than, ROM
SEY had received for all the paint
ings which he had executed In his
lifetime. The efforts to preserve 10
England her famous paintings, eth sr
by the formation Of q special fund
or the imposition OF heavy export
tax, failed because the matter be.
came complicated through the various
demands that copyrights be granted
To artists and their families for
number OF years As a result neither
did the modern artist receive protec.
tion nor were old masters works Sc
cured against removal from the
country.
The art sales in this city in recent
years have shown many remarkable
instances OF surprising increase In
the value Of paintings produced
within the last fifty or seventy-hve
years. They have given rise to sto-
ries Of fortunes made by lucky pur-
chasers OF canvases from artists
whose fame grew with their years
which have all the glamour and TO-
nance OF successful treasure hunt.

Notes in the Art World.

How TO Appreciate Prints by
Frank Weitenkampf, chief of the print
division of the New York Public Ii
brary, has reached a third edition,
which in itself is fair barometer Of
tho growing interest in prints in this
country. The plan OF Mr.. Weiten-
kampf's book is so openly designed to
assist the beginner that II is pleasant to
note that he commands a simple style
OF writing that is admirably calculated
to reassure them, to get them easily
over the first milling blocks and TO
lead them on to an appreciation OF the
higher joys of art.
The various kinds OF engravings are
taken up In turn. and in special chap
ters the enthusiasts for particular
kinds of prime can find all they wish
to know in regard TO the various pro-
cesses OF mezzotints, wood engravings
lithography. line engraving. &c. There
is constant illustration Of principle
by reference to the work OF the ac-
knowledged masters and all OF the mas
ters seemed to be summed UP in this
book, so that the work serves excel
lently as q text book for all sorts of
scholastic uses.
The New York School of Fine and
Applied Arts has arranged an innova-
ton in the way OF annual school ex-
hibits, IN that it has been invited by
John Wanamaker to show the work Of
its third year pupils in the eighth floor
galleries in the great establishment at
Broadway and Tenth street. The work
OF the first and second year pupils will
be shown as usual in the schoolroons

AMBITION SCARED TOO HIGH
Pioneer Grape Grower Unfortunately
Was Not Satisfied With First
Really Excellent Results.

A hundred years ago Dr. c. w.
Grant bought a small, rock-ribbed
island in the Hudson river nearly OPP
pOsite Peekskill- There was a general
laugh at what people declared to be
his folly, as the island was so barren
and worthless that it did not seem pos
sible for anything to grow there. DR..
Grant, however, had IDEAS Of his own,
and he began growth of grapes Of
the then new variety, the Delaware.
In a very short time the island was
known to grape growers all over the
country, and Doctor Grant was de-
clared to have done more for grape
culture than any other man in Amer
lea.
The great business enjoyed by the
physician turned his head. and he be-
gan to work toward scheme that
would turn the island into Il paradise
of growing flowers, especially mag
nOliaS and rhodOdendrOns, and he
hoped to give seed or cuttings to every
home in America. The result Of his
attempts was bankruptcy, and he left
the island, which soon went back to
rock and barren soil.

BOY
SCOUTS
III
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts Of America.)
SCOUTS MEET VERDUN HERO

The Boy Scouts of America we're
honOred by being selected to greet
Gen. Robert Georges NivelIe, former
commander-in-chief of the French
army and famous hero of Verdun, up.
on his arrival in this country recently
to attend the Pilgrim Tercentenary
celebration. A hundred and thirty
scouts took part in the reception.
At the French line pier five picked
Eagle Scouts met the general as he
came off the steamer which brought
him to New York. They were with
Or. Charles S. MacFarlan1. field scout
commissioner, who is the general sec
rotary of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America, on
whose invitation Gen. Nivelle came to
this country. From the pier he was
escorted to the Waldorf hotel where
five troops of boy scouts, a troop from
each of the boroughs of Greater New
York, carrying American flags and a
French flag fifteen feet long. were
lined up at salute and were reviewed
by General Nivelle.
The scouts were greatly interested
In the blazing star Of the Grand Cross
Of the Legion of Honor which the gray
haired general wore on his army uni
form. His eighteen military honors
other than the Legion of Honor were
represented simply by five rows Of
ribbon bars across his left breast.
A diminutive thirteen-year-old Man
haitian scout, Frank Tobin, who wore
a tri-color ribbon was singled out by
General Nivelle, who had him come
forward to shake hands while in very
good English he told the assembled
scouts how pleased he was to be well
coined by representatives Of this great
organization whose JambOree party of
300 picked scouts last summer gave
an exhibition Of scouting In Paris
which opened his eyes and those Of
many other men of affairs there as to
The great value Of scout training in
the formation Of sturdy and useful
manhood.
