The King of Rumania is one of the

Belgium, assumed the responsibilities
of the royal scepter at the age
OF IS. Inheriting all Of hus august
mothers executive abilities, schooled
by theoretical training and practical

endeavoring to bring about a real
social and cultural renaissance In his
country.
Within the seven years from the
restoration on June 8, 1880, he has
been able to rekindle confidence in
the heart Of his people and to re-
habilitate Rumania in the often mis-
informed international public opinion
Thanks to his wise and progressive
policy, the country's agricultural
production is given special impetus.
The 1888 conversion law, intending to
safeguard the economic freedom Of the
small land holder, has been closely
followed by the development of CO.
operative banks and buyers associa-
tions for the purchase Of agricultural
implements. From an educational
point of view the national institutes
OF agriculture, together with the sylvic
and veterinary services Of the prov
inces, have instituted special technical
and advisory councils to promote
scientific farming, cattle breeding,
tobacco and fruit growing.

a P. w. A. grant for a new court
house, and when the old court house
was torn down to make way for the
bought from the ruins a piece of wall
nut timber that had been used in the
old structure. They had a desk made
Of it and presented it to their Rep

workmanship and the wood from which
it it built and today it occupies a
place of honor in her Office. She is
shown seated before it in the photo

This inner office of the Indiana
Representative Is, as a matter of fact,

to the manner in which cattle are
moved from one range to another to
prevent overgrazing.
Cattle must have salt and they
must have water. When one section
Of grazing land has been brought to
the point where more grazing would
be harmful to the grass. salt licks

Mr.. Phillips Is painter as we'll as
print maker, and his prints in color
| have essentially painterlike quality,
| In them he does not stress line but
works with fiat tints held in mass.
His colors are quiet, gray predominant
ing and combining with other neutral
tints. There is a delicacy about his
works in this medium rarely seen.
To an extent he has been influenced
by and followed the japanese print
| makers, but he has anglicized his
work to such an extent that all ORR
entail flavor is eliminated, and in
stead one finds in it the essence Of the
Northland more reticent, less effulgent,
but very charming
For the most part Mr.. Phillips
shows us Canadian scenes, simple and
at times almost commonplace but
significant to him apparently through
familiarity. A large block print Of
boat landing at "Hnause, Lake Winni-
empty Of incident in it being especially
we'll treated. Howe Sound" with its
composition Of water and mountains,
crossed in the foreground by a twist
ed pine tree, Is also very pleasing,
while third. entitled Flying Island"
is particularly lovely in color. Among
these prints in color are several of
| flowers, zinnias, tulips, more bold in
rendering than the landscapes but also
more usual. There are also in the
group some figure subjects, but Of all
they are the least interesting.
The prints in black and white are
chiefly line engravings rather than
cuts and very different in manner and
style, more direct, more positive. These
are excellent in composition and ad-
mirably rendered. They are all Cana
dian subjects, scenes in Manitoba and
in British Columbia. In some Of the
latter prominence is given to grotesque
totems similar to those found in Alas
ka. The character of these scenes
seems to have demanded simple and
virile handling. From the standpoint
Of design one entitled Floating Dock"
again Winnipeg subject, is especially
noteworthy.
Mr.. Phillips was born at Barton on
Humber, England, 1884. attended
Bourne College. Birmingham, Eng
land, and the Birmingham Municipal
School Of Art. For time he was
art master at Bishops School. Sails

OF lecturer in art at our University OF

Canadian Society Of Water Color
Painters and member of the Print
Makers Of California. Prairie Print
Makers Of Kansas, Graver Printers
in Colour, London; Canadian Painter
Etchers, etc. He has won many prizes
and is represented in leading collec-
tions in England. Canada and the

high favor in Japan. Many of his
