Warren N. Baldwin Recalls Art League Days and
Famous Artists Who Visited Spokane

One of the outstanding events of the Spokane
Art Leagues career according to Warren y. Bald
win was the visit of "a widely known German art
list, Eugene Lingenfeder, from Munich, Germany,
who came to Spokane to be the guest of Judge
Adoph Munter while he painted western scenes.
lie was pleased and interested at the work that
was being done by the art league and offered to
teach classes free of charge while he was "a
guest here Mr. Baldwin was then twelve year
old boy and he posed for him in a hunting scene
which he painted at Box Canyon. While engaged
in this work one day messenger came down the
river at breakneck speed bearing an imposing
looking envelope covered with German stamps and
Official looking seals. Mr.. Lngenfelder tore ii open
and then announced that he had been recalled TO
Germany to paint the portrait of some important
German nobleman The picture however. was lin
ished before he left and it hangs in Munich gal
lery today.
Miss Fellows, the sister of the late Eugene
Fellows, was president of the league for many
years As students at the art league, Mr.. Bald
win recalls Madame PouX OBrien, the oculist,
Harry Mcbride, Grace Coward, now Mrs Norman,
residing in China her husband, San Francisco
lawyer went there originally to become the CON
fdential adviser of Sun Vat sun. Nerna Cook
Saamonsky, a successful New York archi-
tect, and her sister, Clara, Agnes Jeldness, Mrs
G. q. Brown and Mrs Lillienthal.
Most of these young people in high school
at this time and c. $. kingston then principal of
the old South Side high school, now vice president
of Cheney Normal school, was much interested in
the work of his pupils at the league. He made
it possible for one from the school always
to be given opportunity to interview the celeb
rites as they to the city. 1t Glanced that
Warren Baldwin was to have the privilege of
sketching Ignace Paderewski. +. Vaughn Klein
ushered at the theatre the night of the concert
by the famous pianist and helped get his high
school boy back of the scenes. Mr. Baldwin laughs
as he recalls how his knees knocked together and
his legs almost gave out from under him as the
man with fiery orange red hair turned to look at
his sketch and he asked him to autograph it for
him. Paderewski took the sketch, held it aloft
then walked across the stage with it and showed
it to his wife and some friends waiting there.

Lonely, on rugged, barren mountains.

The faint rare tints of countless dawns;
The richness of unnumbered sunsets

MEM ORAL DAY

ID! minnie JdlDeTl buTTHuS
Should we remember our loved ones
Only once Il YEAR,
Let us send our thoughts of kindness
To our loved ones here.
Let us not wait to give flowers
When they are laid to rest;
Strew their paths here with roses,
1t is here they love them best.
Let us help our friends and neighbors,
BY words and loving deeds,
Let us plant an everlasting garden
With kindness as the seeds.
Let us help the little children,
The flowers of our land,
That they may reach the highest,
Here at Gods hand.

THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN US POPPY DAY
Rene Albourne De Pender

Painracked soldiers with pale weak hands
Fashion red poppes all day long;
Yet only few short years age
These same poor hands were brown and strong
Strong young hands that were eager, glad
To take up their weapons and carry on,
Feeble now, with their young strength spent,
Hope forsaken and gladness gone
YEARLY watching the days go by,
Days that would have been full and free
OF joyous youth and the thrill of life
But these given for you and me.
Youth and hopes and their high young dreams,
All they gave without thought of gain,
Poor red peoples they offer now,
All they gave without thought of gain,
Welcome Them them, and ALL
Gladly and proudly, and repay
Part of the endless debt owe
Those who have given Poppy Day"
