among grain and hay growers in the
state by the reduction in freight rates
made effective Jan. 1. Shipments o!

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
CHARLES o. ROBINSON ORGANIZES NEW FIRM
UPON DISSOLUTION OF CLAY, ROBINSON & CO.

The beginning of 1922 saw on,
of the most important changes ii
the livestock commission bushes:
that has occurred for many years
when the we'll known old firm OF
Clay, Robinson & Co. terminated
its existence by limitation of its
corporate charter, and a firm name
that has been household word
among the stockmen of the ives,
and farmers all over the United
States ceased to exist.
Montana stock growers will
however, be pleased to learn tina,
their old friend, Charles O. Robin
son, has opened commodious quar-
tiers in much better location i'll
the Chicago yards than the old
firm possessed, and under the firm
name of Charles 0. Robinson &
Co. will continue to do business at
the old stand.
In his announcement to the stock
growers of the United States,
Charles 0. Robinson says:
THE foundation of this firm was
laid by my father, Jos. NJ. Robin
son, in May, 1874. Upon his death
in July, 1886, I succeeded him un-
der the name Of Charles 0. Robin
son & Co. Later in that year John
Clay and William H. Forrest solicit
ted me to join forces with them
and we founded the firm Of Clay,
Robinson & Co., and this firm has
continued active for period of IS
years. During that time we built
up the largest livestock commits
sion business in the world.
"The name of Robinson has been
household word among stock
men for seventy years. My father

The most notable school in Rome for
its traditions is the French. Louis XVI.
built it for young artis,s whom lie re-
cruited to make copies of pictures and
statuary in Italian palaces for Versailles
and for his various chateaux. When
royal prerogatives we're abolished the
Academy became a school where the
fellows were picked purely for their
artistic ability in all of the arts, includ-
ing music. Napoleon installed the school
in the villa Medici, an imposing palace,
towering above the Pincio Gardens and
dominating Rome.

biblical subject, noble in conception ana
fine in execution. The director declares
that these were one of the first sets OF
tapestries to leave the Gobelin looms.
Then there were busts In bronze and
terra Gotta, also the work of former
fellows, which were already classics.
The American Academy is essentially
a workshop for the artists and builders
of our skyscrapers, our villas and our
parks. The Academy is housed in several
commodious buildings on severe Rem
naissance lines, set on the Janiculum
Hill, the highest point in Rome. Like
laboratories of university or of large
industry, the studios are large and light
and built for work.
Casual visitors come and go with varied
impressions. A certain Chicago artist
spent a few minutes at the Academy and
came away with an impression of languid
young artists lounging about palace
being served by an army of Wallets and
domestics. Another visitor complained
that the American Academy teas were like
prison diet of hard tack and cold tea.

times, and the very amiable director, M.
Puech, and his fellows are quite willing
to discuss the aims of the academy.
Looking at their output before dis
cussing their ideals one is struck
first by the brilliant but uneven talent
of the artists. The war has left its
marks here in young artists killed or re-
tarded In their work. Ten of the fifteen
fellows were married, living with their
wives and children in their small studios,
preoccupied with the problems of livli-
hood on their small pensions as well as
with their art.

work absolutely independently of each
other. They do not collaborate on COM

Occasionally visitors confessed they felt
that they had not received enough atten-
tion.
There is reason for these conflicting
reactions. The impressions of palatial ac-
commodations could only have been gath
cred from standing outside and contem-
plating the gate and courtyard. These
are built on impressive proportions which
exceed the modest spacing of studios and
libraries inside the main building. The
other criticisms are also partly founded
on fact The scholarship holders receive
$1,000 year, and living in many respects
costs as much as 1t does in New York or
Chicago. They cannot give banquets
very often and themselves have simple
diet Then the studios are not open at all
times. Nothing is more disturbing to
concentrated art work than a constant
stream of visitors. The management
within these limitations gives visitors
cordial welcome.
No characteristic is more out
standing than the workshop atmosphere
about the American Academy. The stu
dios are light and spacious and not clut-
tered with too much furniture. The
twenty-five artists now here are all Of

about these studios. The tables'are cleared
for work. The rooms are not made junk
shops for miscellaneous trinkets picked
up at the antique shops and rug fairs.
They also are not turned into board
ing houses for relatives and friends as
most studios in Rome are, especially at
the Easter season. Even wives are taboo

cal art In fact research has constituted
one of the great achievements of the
school, which is now working among
other things on catalogue of municipal
collections Of ancient sculpture.
In 1912 departments of architecture,
sculpture painting and engraving were
added, and the school Is now lodged In

lished from funds from the only interna-
tional art exhibition that ever made

so young that little can be judged of its
work it can point to solid accomplish

of things finds himself handicapped be-
cause he has no specific space or wall to
cover
There is, for instance, one artist who
paints pictures in gigantic proportions
adapted only for a cathedral or railroad
station He is handicapped because there
is no museum which could hang his
paintings.
Then there are two other drawbacks
which go together with the old traditions.
Because Louis XIV. wanted copies, one
of the conditions of-the prizes still is that
artists must make copy of some classi-
cal monument or art object AS this is
usually a bore and superfluous because
the artist is supposed to have his technic
and power of observation before coming
tC Rome artists very often get an Italian
hack sculptor or painter to do their copy
for them without trying to deceive any
one as to how they fulfilled this anti
quated regulation.
The other limiting condition Is that
artists must keep to allie
gorical or historical subjects.
Such objects as railroad
trains and even modern
trousers and skirts are con-
sidered far too profanc.
But the French artists
who come to Rome usually
have enough ability and in
genuity ito rise above the
regulations. They have the

art treasures about them of

and of Berlin.
The British School

in the academy here return with their
ideas formed, and return also with an
authority which is bound to influence
their colleagues in America.
The reaction of the American mind
coming into contact with the art forms of
Rome, Greece and earlier civilizations is
baroque with curlicues of heavy plaster
and overnourished cherubini Is doomed.
American spellbinder architecture Of the
sort designed primarily to eat up public
appropriations is bound to give way more
and more to the straightforward building
on simple lines. The next generation of
Young America will know enough to
laugh at the building with Doric columns,
Colonial doorway, Renaissance windows,
with Byzantine minaret tackled on the
top.
The ideal of the American Academy
since it was founded in 1897 has been to
make an intensive study of Greek and
Roman classics the main work of the
three years awarded to Rome prize win
ners. There are prominent American ar
lists among the trustees of the academy
who realize fully the need In America OF
painters, sculptors and architects, who
balance their own ideas by thorough
knowledge of classic art.
The work of the artists at the Ameri-
can Academy is better to be appreciated
when compared with that of the fellows
in the other academies The. British
school is distinctly modern. English ar
lists seem rather to rebound from the
classic monuments about them than TO
assimilate them. They are stimulated by

a spur to carry on"
In the pale gray city below and in
the colonnading hills are layer on layer
of former civilizations. The towns ac-
cumulate one above another like the
rings on a tree. In these rings are the
treasured Greek, Roman and older Etrus-
can models which form the basis for
the study of the American art students.
The Renaissance too has left some of
it's most lavish masterpieces In Rome.
But here the American fellow is in
clined to pause. The snare and pitfall
to many an art student who comes to
Rome has been to be carried away by
the brilliancy and splendor Of Renais-
sance architecture and painting. Once
the taste for the orgy of color and the
broad sweeping lines, which do not
correspond to an idea but to sensation,
is acquired an artist in Rome is likely
to give way to an initiative splendor too
often passing into excessive baroque,
which is lacking even in the charm of
originality. The American artists and
architects during their three years at
Rome are inclined to remain more
severely classic than the art about them,
and more so than they later become when
they have their background in classic
art we'll established
In addition to voluntary fidelity to
severe classic studies the American fell
lows apply their arts. Collaboration of
painter, sculptor and architect has now
become a regular method which experi
ence has more than justified.
