GOVERNMENT TO FINANCE
COLORADO WHEAT GROWERS

Financing of the 1923 pool Of the
Colorado Wheat Growers association
will be undertaken again this yearly
the United States federal government,
according to w. L. Eggleston,. Haxtun
member of the board of directors.
"The money will be advanced to the
American Wheat Growers Associated
through the new intermediate credit
banks. which have taken over the ac-
tivities of the War Finance corpora
tion," said Mr.. Eggleston. The Colo
rado association will ship its wheat
to the American, which will sell about
one-twelfth Of the supply each month
on the orderly marketing plan.
Until the wheat reaches the Ameri-
can, the first payment of rs per cent
to the farmers will be financed by
Colorado concerns. This will involve
the use of about 100000 of local CAPT
tai. AS soon as the wheat is shipped,
the government loans will release the
local capital to make first payments
to other farmers.
"The amount of money loaned to
the American Wheat Growers Asso
ciated by the government during the
last two years has run as big as $685.
100000 at one time, according to Geo
C. Jewett. manager of the American.
The amount of government money
which will be used this year depends
entirely on the ability of the estab-
lished private banks to care for our
needs. The intermediate credit bank
is not designed to compete with other
banks. but merely to supplement
them and furnish necessary finances
which the commercial bankers may be
unable to supply"

ON IMMORTALITY.

Immortality is not so much an ar
ticle of creed as an intuition of the
thinking mind. Rabbi Samuel Marks
told the congregation of Temple Beth
Ell at the concluding feast of the Jew
ish holiday season last Monday tight.
DIR. Marks spoke upon the subject,
"The After Life
"A practical preacher was requested
to express his views about the immOr-
tally OF the SOUL the rabbi said.
My friends he replied. whenever !
discourse upon a practical question. |
know what TO say and you and L UNI
derstand the matter. Wien. however.
l shall speak about Immortality, you
would not understand and 1 myself
would not understand it.
1.-The different grades of enlighten-
ment among the hearers and the alb
straot of a subject like Immortality
present difficulties for satisfactory
discussion. What appears only as
adapted for few select minds could
not be offered as appropriate food
for the masses. And still there are
problems which cannot be passed By
in silence in spite Of their fiddicult
nature.
without the idea Of Immortality,
we cannot conceive soul; without a
soul, no life. Immortality is the surety
and chain Of all that is dear to us, the
balm for our wounds, the letter of
nobility for our divine origin. More
correctly than the word of the philo-
sopher. Il think, hence am we
may say Il am, hence the thinking
power within me is immortal The

DEDICATE CHURCH SUNDAY.

Dedication Of the recently completed

church. Grayson and Pine streets, will
take place Sunday morning, October
II. Bishop James T.. Dickey, of
Waco, will occupy the pulpit ut the
regular morning services and will also
preside at the dedication. ceremony.
: Work upon this edifice was started
early IN 1922 but the greater part OF
the building has been done under the
passionate Of the Rev. J. W. Rowland
who was assigned to the charge last
December.
The new church, including the site
and the parsonage will cost in excess
of $4,000. All of this fund has been
paid except $500 due on the parson-
age. An enterprise of this magnitude
was made possible by the assistance
of the centenary and church extension
program of the Southern Methodist
church. From the. centenary funds
administered through the church ex.
tension board, an appropriation oil
$4,000 was made.
Exclusive of the main auditorium
the plant will accommodate Il Sunday
school of more than 1000 members
The church is complete in every de-
tail and modern in every respect. The
three stories of the church building
will afford a place for every depart
ment of the church, including every
provision of an up-to-Sate Sunday
school.
The main. auditorium, including the
gallery, will seat 500. The building
is provided with a steam. heating
plant. gas. electric fans, kitchen, wom'
ems rest room, and every modern con-
venience.
On account OF its location. the
church has a special appeal TO the sol
diers stationed at the army post. WIN
this modern church plant in operation
the soldier membership of the church
is expected to show great increase.

No Genuine Rembrandts in

There might be a modification oil

Such variation within the short space

there is not such painting in any

but four genuine Rembrandts out oil

In the Hermitage Gallery. Petro.

In the National Gallery. London
there are but four genuine Rem.
brandts: in the Kaiser Friedrich mu,
scum. Berlin. but three.
Professor Van Dyke says that every.
one at all acquainted with Dutch arr
has known for years that there were
too many Rembrandts in the world
yet no one has had the temerity tc
attack the subject.
He says it is strange that the pu.
pills / of Rembrandt were unable to
turn out as many paintings as theiI
Dutch master.
As "a ma tier of fact they did turn
them out they were touched up here
and there, by Rembrandt and then sold
as genuine.
The whole Rembrandt tradition, &C.
cording to Professor Van Dyke. "is an
accumulation OF MISS elements and
misrepresentation" and the present
Rembrandt attributions "are mad
confusion"
Add TO Confusion.
Professor Van Dyke pays his re-
spects to the accepted Rembrandt au.
thorities and says they are constantly

The Rembrandts in the Kaiser
Friedrich Museum, it is asserted, arc
the work of no less than ten artists
Professor Van Dyke, in each in.
stance, published comparisons Of the
reported work of pupils with the Rem
brandts which he claims they painted
His assertions are not purely AGA.

lar demonstration and carefully scrut.
inized points Of comparison.
The portrait of Rembrandt in a
velvet cap. which is usually accounted
as the best of the Dutch masters
work. and is the nucleus of the collec.
ton in the National GALLERY London
is denounced by Professor Van Dyke
as "a flat copy" with mot one stroke
of Rembrandt in or about it,
An almost equally famous painting
in the Louvre. the Good Samaritan,
is attributed to Simon de Vlieger.
After naming various. other "spur-
ious' Rembrandts, Professor van Dyke
concludes:
They are excellent works of art
some of them quite worthy of Rem
brandt-but my point is they are by
pupils, not by Rembrandt"

Art Professor at Rutgers
Declares That, Out Of
1000 Paintings Attributed
to Dutch Old Master, He
Has Been Unable to Dis
cover More Than IS Or
iginals- Claims Pupils
Painted Pictures.
By ROBERT T. SMALL.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Oct. 6.-On the heels OF
the recent attacks upon the authentic
ity of various noted paintings and
other works of art, both in this coun-
try and in Europe, has come the
sweeping assertion OF Jorn c. Van
I Dyke, professor of AFT and archaeology
at Rutgers College. that there is not
single genuine Rembrandt in the
United States.
There ere fifteen or more paintings
in the metropolitan museum here at
tributed to Rembrandt.
Edward Robinson. head of the mu-
scum. said he had heard of Professor
Van Dykes statement in a book, juct
issued under his name, but until he had
time to study the assertions more close
ly he would make no reply.
Out of the 500 or No paintings at
tributed to Rembrandt. p. ,fessor Van
Dyke says he has been Inabl" to dis
cover more than 35 originals.
The others, he attributes to pupils.
One of the most famous OF the Rem.
brandts in the metropolitan museum.
the 'Old Woman Cutting Her Nails, "
is said by Professor Van Dyke to be
the work of Nicolaes Macs.
As proof of his assertion. the critic
reproduces in his book three other
paintings admittedly by Macs along
side the "Old Woman Cutting Her
Nails"
He asserts fhe same woman posed
for all four pictures and adds that
this woman posed for Macs alone, new
err for Rembrandt.
Professor Van Dyke does not at
tempt to deny that Rembrandt's name
is signed to some of the pictures which
he denoupces as the work of pupils.
He says the master undoubtedly
signed some of his pupils works.
He believes also that the master au.
thorized the forging of his name to
paintings dome by the 20 or more stu
dents who studied under him.
To Create Stir.
The sweeping attack upon the Rem
brandts in the various art collections
of the world is certain to create great
stir m art circles.
Professor Van Dyke, in his book en-.
titled Rembrandt and His School," is
sued by Charles Scribner's Sons, says
he has no desire for sensation.
He has been studying Rembrandt
and his work for 40 years.
His suspicious were first aroused by
