FAMOUS DUTCH ARTIST
 WILL REMAIN IN SEWARD

MT. Jan Van Emple, the celebrated Dutch artist, who is now making his home in Seward, has already sketch ed many familiar scenes in this vicin- display at the home of MT. and Mrs. Alvah Flames tomorrow afternoon.
 MT. Van Emple is of the modern Dutch school and his work is the expression of life in all it's bright ness and joy He is realist, but into that realism he puts all of his imagination; all of his idealism so that the subject, no matter how com monplace, stands out as a thing of color and life.
 MT. Van Emple was born in Am sterdam and has had an adventurous career, no small part of which was spent on the sea. He had painted in all parts of the globe and his most characteristic and expressive works, according to critics, have been those of old boats, docks and wharves that have fallen into decay.
 Mir. Van Emple is fascinated with Seward and expects to make it his home for the next two years.
 Tomorrow, Thursday afternoon, from 2:30 until. 5 o'clock, the public is invited to meet MT. Van Emple at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alvah Flames. Tea will be served and number of his pictures will be shown.
