Great Painters Used
Eggs to Mix CoIors

Many pictures which pass as oil
paintings were not done with oil at
all, according to the directors of the
Foss Art museum at Harvard. AS
early as the Twelfth century eggs
were used for mixing paint in Italy
and for hundreds of years painters all
over Europe did their work with pig
ments so made.
The white Of the eggs replaced
vegetable gums as a binding me-
dunn for many of the pigments often
the white and yolk were mixed with
water and fig juice, forming a tenn
pera, from which fine colors were
ground and laid on white plaster-cov-
cred surfaces.
In the perfection of the art the yolk
alone was used, and the quality of
that article was closely examined. A
manuscript from the Fifteenth CEN
fury, directs that "for the faces of
young people you shall use the yolk
of the egg of a city hen, as it is light
er and less red in color than the yolk
of the egg of a country hen"

try hens in the Fifteenth century in

Fine Golf Course on Roof

One of the most unusual open air
golf courses in use today Is that which
has been built on the roof of a store
in Atlanta, Ga. This course, accord
ing to a writer in Good Hardware, is
surprisingly realistic and is a mighty
busy place. 1t measures about two
hundred feet long and fifty feet wide,
and has about as much golf atmos-
phere as a country club. The course
offers all the hazards, risks and pen
alties of championship golf.
The hardware store which has M
provised this course on the roof of
it's building on the busiest street in
the city is doing it's bit to help along
the increasing popularity of this fine
sport, which is being played SO en-
Enthusiastically throughout the United
States. "Give a man a golf club and
let him strike a ball, and he is a con-
frmed golf fend,' some one has said.
This merchant is putting that obser-
walton to q rigid test.

the Wild Rose sisters, land we will

your tears so you can see your pretty
pink faces in the water, and then we
will bend you low until you look into
the mirror Mother Nature has given
you"
"Oh, how good you are" replied the
Rose sisters, beginning to tremble for
joy. How can we ever thank you
enough I"
Very gently the Little Breezes fut-
tered about the Wild Rose sisters and
pretty soon their sweet pink faces
were bent over the river.
"Oh, how beautiful we are" they
began to murmur, and the Breezes
knew they were quite forgotten.

brothers, Big Winds, can manage that

CORN AND SUGAR BETS
PROFITABLE In BLAINE

Chinook, Oct. 22.-The 1924 corn
crop in Blaine county will be about
SO per cent of what it was last year,
County Agent G. w. Gustafson an
Considering the backward
season, this reduction in production
has not discouraged ambitious corn
farmers who have saved the best of
their corn for seed and will use in
ferior grades in silos.
Some farmers are turning their
hogs into the corn fields to let them
"hog it off" before shipping to the
market, says Mr.. Gustafson. The fact
that Blaine county, through the mar
keting association, has already
shipped out this year, % carloads of
hogs, bringing the producer approx
mately $4,000, according to w. A.
Gesell, the secretary of this assocla-
ton, is believed to be a sound argu-
ment in favor of raising corn. Corn
utilized in this way has a sure market
every day in the year, whether it is
of inferior grade or an A No. 1 grade,
and County Agent Gustafson believes
every farmer should stick to "mother
corn"
Big Yields of Beets
E. w. Williams, formerly a sugar
beet farmer of Iona, Ida, living now
on the Frank Brown place on the out
skirts of Chinook, has a crew of men
topping 20 acres of sugar beets,
which will yield according to G. ii.
Barnes, the valley field man and G..
w. Gustafson, county agent, not less
than 400 tons, or an average OF ~
tons to the acre.
There is only one other sugar beet
field in Blaine county that will sur
pass the Williams field, if it does sur
pass it, according to County Agent
Gustafson. This other field is near
Harlem on the Thomas Everett place.
The beet growers in this vicinity have
been able to get Indian labor to do
the topping and it is understood it has
been satisfactory.
The bean crop in Blaine county,
grown on 1,1OO acres. is now being
threshed and there will be IN average
yield of Is bushels to the ace. Coun-
ty Agent Gustafson reports that some
of the fields have yielded as high as
35 bushels to the acre.

Land Once Held Barren
Helps to Feed World

The total land area of the world is
more than 100000 square miles, of
which less than 100000 600 are consid-
cred fertile, and half of the fertile
lands to be found in tropical and sub
tropical regions. Every new fertilizer
or every new source of known fer
tilizer adds to the Availability of the
temperate zone, and it is a fact that
III mastery of fertilizing agencies is
capable of great commercial develop
ment through lines of management
laid down by applied chemistry, writes
Isaiah Bowman in the New World.
A second source of arabic land is
found in the swamp lands capable of
being drained. OF these there are in
the United States 100000 900 acres, but
two-thirds of this amount is forested
and requires clearing, and much of
the rest is peat bog, which requires
a specialized farm practice. Qualify
ing conditions of a similar sort affect
the swamp lands of the rest of the
world.
A third source of food supply I'M
d%oubtedly will come from a limited
extension of both agriculture and
grazing, but particularly grazing, into
the vast tundras Of the sub-Arctic. In
the case Of the tundras, both of ST.
IBERIA and more especially of North
America, we still are suffering from
the inhibitions of the past, when we
looked upon the sub-Arctic as useless.
The frozen north has retreated

In the southern hemisphere we
have no habitabIe lands from which
man has been excluded by sheer in

tralia and Patagonia have been crisis
crossed by the pioneer, and though
their lands are capable Of higher de-
velopment, at least we know the lines
along which development will occur
and is even now proceeding and we
know also that their population in

BALTIMORE, Jan. S.-A smart

round main bout between Benny
Schwartz, local star, who holds the
Southern flyweight championship,
and Young Dencio Of the Philippines,
flyweight champion of the United

Armory last night.
Schwartz scaled 116h+ pounds
against 10S for the little brown gladl-
ator, and this was enough in itself to
kill the latter's chances Of winning.
Dencio finished well on the short
end, but covered himself with glory
by the courageous Battle he waged
against his big handicap. ,
There was no question as to the
winner. After the first round, which
he won, the best Dencio got was q
draw in the second round and an.
other in the sixth. The other nine
rounds belonged to Schwartz, by
large or small margins, most Of them
being gathered in with plenty to
spare.
There were no knockouts. Benny
slipped once in Dencio's corner and
another time both went to the can.
vas when they became entangled and
lost their balance.
Although Benny won almost as he
pleased, the bout was an interesting
one. Dencio, outclassed from a box

trying, and he made grGlt finish in
