Unknown Painter a Woman
And These Her First Efforts

That word "she" at least revealed some
thing. The unknown painter was a woman.
And these were her first works! That
could hardly be believable. Surely only
an artist of many years familiarity with
all the different moods of his brush could
have done such masterful work.
The mystery added to the interest. The
two subjects were symbolical. No one
agreed what the symbols were, as there
were no titles. Academicians argued
gravely over just what the artist meant.
Artists whose works hung in the principal
galleries of the Continent discussed and
approved the unknown artists technique
and professed to sense" the message the
two subjects sought to reveal. but dis
agreed as to the character of that message.
Out of this discussion and mystery the
paintings became a sensation. The in
scription on the back of each was thought
to be merely vagrant whim of the artist.
IL was forgotten in the art world discus
sion. Now il has just been discovered
that in that inscription lies the key to the
artists inspiration and the solution of
the mystery.
young woman. richly but tastefully
dressed, appeared at the little art store
several months ago with the two framed
canvases in her carriage. She asked the
dealer IL he would oblige her by receiving
the paintings hanging them on his wall
where they could be seen from the street
through the window. She did not want 20
sell them, she explained, but for reasons
of her own wanted them hung in that par
ticular shop-so they could be seen from
the street by any passerby
The dealer demurred. but his caller
agreed to pay him fee--a wall rental.
Very WE'LL" he said, "he would hang them,
Of course, just where madam wished, IL
she would pay him so many marks
month while she left them there
The bargain was struck and the young
womans driver brought the paintings from
the carriage.
'I will tell you my name," the visitor
said to the dealer, but only upon one con-
dition-that you will keep IL secret and,
no matter what questions you are asked.
or by whom never reveal it,"
When she gave him her card the dealer
was startled. II was the name of the wife
of quite distinguished neighbor-his
Excellency DR.. Linden, a prominent pro
fessor in the faculty of the staid Univer-
sity OF Berlin Madame Sidone Linden"
the card read
The New York herald., 1922-01-22
"Her Gift to Him"
and "His Gift to
Her." the SUBJ
titles of the
paintings, gave
the clew to the
mystery. In oval
is Sidonie Linden,
the artist.

He told their story--as much OF it as he
knew, without revealing the artists name
to the curator. That official brought other
critics and his friends to study the paint
ings. They returned to bring still others.
Soon the fame of the paintings spread
through Berlin-to Paris and London.
Critics and art lovers came from every
where.
Nine. Linden came into the shop. The
shopkeeper begged her to permit him to
reveal her as the artist, to accept one OF
the countless offers that had been made
for the pictures. She refused She was
not yet ready, she said simply.

Amazed at Their Technique
And Fascinated by the Subject

II painted them for my own pleasure"
Nine. Linden explained. They are my
first attempts at painting. If for no other
reason than shat I should not want my
identity discovered. But there still is an
other and a more important reason"
The shopkeeper hung them where any

STREETS SHOULD, BE KEPT
CLEAN AND SANITARY

It is a regrettable fact that
someone is neglecting the streets:
particularly Main Street, and not
cleaning them as they should.
For the past two Sundays we
have. noticed that the gutter on
Main Street has been literally
congested from the sweepings
from .he street and at night
when the dampness and dew set
in there was an unmistakable or
der.
There is no excuse for
TINS situation. Besides being
very disagreeable to the senses,
it is very unsightly and urtldy
looking during the day, especial
ly on Sunday. The street sweep
er had been run over the street
and everything from the street
swept into the gutter and there
it was left. The commissioners
should arrange to have this
street, where there is so much
travel Saturdays, cleaned Satnr-
day night SO that it will not
show such an unclean, untidy and
dirty appearance Sunday when
everyone is passing to the various
church services, and wben visit
ors are driving through the
town. Let us have Gle IN t,vn

pride as well as the impression it
may make on the casual visitor.

A PRACTICAL PLAN FOR DI.
VERSIFIED FARMING

Receipt is acknowledged of
The Eastern Carolinian, the Off
cial publication Of the Eastern
Carolina Chamber Of Commerce.
Diversified farming for East
ern Carolina is the main plank in
the program Of the new organ
ization and it therefore will be
the main theme Of the organ1za-
tion's periodical. The one or
two crop system Of farming in
the South, says The Carolinian,
has kept her under the burden
Of tremendous debt for fifty
years.
Two brood sows, one dairy cow
and fifty hens on every farm
will be the specific aim of the
East Carolina Chamber of Com
merce in effecting diversified
ton. 1t is wise in deciding just
what it. wants. There has been
too much scattering Of the fire
In campaigns for diversification.
But the new organization will
not stop at urging the farmer
to grow the right crops. 1t holds
that the selling end is as impor-
tant as the producing end and
because this is so, it will seek to
develop "a cash market for every
farm product in every county in

The Publisher Of The Com
monwealth acknowledges, with
sincere appreciation, a letter Of
commendation from DR.. Chas.
Anderson, Pastor of the Baptist
Church, which, due to its per-
sonal nature, is not published.
DR.. Anderson is grateful for the
publicity given his recent evan
gelist;c meetings, and states
that he attributes the unprece-
dented attendance to the ac-
counts given daily Of the ser
vices.
The Pastor may rest assured
that it has been genuine pleas
ure to write a daily account Of
the meetings, which was certain
ly easy to do, after attending
the services, as DR.. Black made
his talks so very clear and easy
to understand.
If The Commonwealth has been
ins nstrumental IN getting people
to hear such great sermons as
DR.: Black preached, the glory is
in the knowledge. and it's pages
are ever open to such causes.

gle with the good and sanity

R Stiffier. federal prohibition agent for this district. has lost his job on ac- count of the flood. but nobody seems to care. Also the Washington authori- ties in the central prohibition enforce ment bureau are much upset and threa ten drastic action
 Several squadrOns of prohibition agents arrived late today and the out look is for a pleasant Sunday, since the fearless mayor told the happy saloonists they could sell regular beer as long as the drinking water was bad Other towns near here are expected to develop sudden attacks of bad water
 As a result of the mayors stand every saloon in town today was wide open and beer flowed freely. The po- lice are up in the air. No official order to allow saloons to operate un- molested have been issued, but the mayor has been telling every one to go ahead so far as I am concerned -
 The mayors stand brought prompt action from prohibition enforcement officials. State Director Davis made flying trip here from Philadelphia and immediately discharged Stiffler, the officer in charge of this district, placing C. T. Sprague of Philadelphia in charge Twenty-two extra enforce ment agents are here and others are reported on route here. Wholesale ar rests are expected tomorrow, but none was made tonight.
 Determined, as he said, to rid the city of bootleggers and to provide a ''substitute for bad water" Mayor Cauffield admitted today he had told local brewers and saloon keepers that as mayor of J0hnstown-he would not have any objection to the sale of real beer.

Arkansas Attorney General Has Little
 Patience With Party BOlters.

Little Rock. Ark, Aug. 19-Pros- pective independent candidate for county offices in q number of counties of the state who are passing their hope upon securing recognition from the state board of election commissioners, will receive but little consolation from that source if Attorney General Utley has his way in the selection of the various county election boards.
 MT. Utley. who with Gov. McRae and Secretary of State Ira Hopper, compose the state board. MT. Utley stated today that he proposed to vote for Democratic election commissioners who are recommended by the party organizations He said he had but little patinece with men who partici- pate in the Democratic primary, who, when they failed to secure the nOmi- nation. become dissatisfied and propose to bolt the party.
 Mir. Utley says he is satisfied that other members of the state board feel as he does regarding the matter Un- der the law the state board is required to name the county election boards before the end of this month. Due notice will be given the public when the board will meet to consider the various recommendations for county election commissioners.

MAKE POTATO 81. AGE

You have heard a lot about potato
silage before. So have /, but when
the papers we're full of 1t several years
ago. 1t was purely theoretical The
food experts said: do It," but based
their advice on practices in Europe. or
other far away places.
always took the advice half
heartedly, for never had seen potato
silage, nor heard first hand Of any
body who had tried the concoction.
When I learned that II. G.. Larsen,
Minnesota, was making silage out OF
Gull potatoes and feeding the silage
with good results, decided to find out
all about 1t. This Is the story got:
Some potatoes are small, some
scabby. some damaged at digging
time. Sometimes there is surplus
Of old potatoes In the spring. The
potatoes that are unfit for market can
be turned into one of the very. best
feeds for hogs and cattle by making
silage out of them. know, and speak
from experience.
This isn't new invention nor my
own recipe; 1t has been in use in
Denmark for years. The prize bacon
which brought fancy price on the
British market for years was made
largely from potato silage. SO, de-
cided that what would make prize
bacon for Dane would make just as
good bacon for an American. tried
the experiment. We had a surplus Of
old potatoes In the spring. and no
market for them"
The outfit used by Mr.. Larsen was
simple--root cutter. six vinegar or
syrup barrels. and sack OF cornmeal.
Cornmeal is put into tub and enough
water is added to make It ferment.
This is done several days before the
silage Ia made. This serves 70 .
