Miss Catherine Martin Describes Hoosier Salon

Supervisor Os Art In Decatur Schools Visits Exhibit At Chicago Editor's note: The following interesting article concerning Indiana and her artists, was written by Miss Catherine E. Martin, supervisor of art in Decatur high school, und describes the "Hoosier Salon" In Chicago, which Miss Martin was privileged to attend over last week-end. The Hoosier Salim opened Saturday evening with a reception ami preview of the exhibition in the Marshall Field Galleries. The salon was organized four years ago by the Dattghten, of Indiana, resident in Chicago, which wished to keep alive the traditions of th<> art of their native state. Indiana ranks first in fine arts, not only in our own country, but abroad. This was brought about by our pioneer artists, who, while studying in the royal academy in Germany, promised each oth<r upon theif return to their native country to make their state famous for art. William Forsythe of Indianapolis, is the last of the group, Otto Stark, and Theodore Steele laying their brushes aside f?r the last time during the past year. As Mr. Forsythe moved among his artist friends at the pre-view, smiling a cheerful welcome to all. I wondered if his thoughts turned to his old friends who have had to relinquish their hold to younger hands. The artists were the guests of honor and invitations were extended to the patrons of art in Indiana There were two hundred and thirtytour Hoosier artists exhibiting, and eighty-four rejected.- Thirty-eight prizes were awarded, totalling five thousand, six hundred and five dollars. These were given by individual patrons and various organizations over the state. The subjects of the pictures were more varied than any previous showing. Indiana artists seem to find find their inspiration in the moods of nature and are noted for this particular school, but there were some excellent portraits and studies in still life. Mr. Arthur Sprunger of Berne, exhibited two water color sketches. "The Amish Mint Mill," and "The Boat house." a’so a wood block print of the “First Snow.” Mr. Sprunger is the husband of a former Decatur music supervisor, Cordelia Reisen Sprunger. Sunday afternoon, the artists and patrons were invited to a tea at the private galleries of the Chicago Art Club. The exhibition consisted of s ulptur< ,/ by David Broin and a one man show of oils by Adolph Heinze. Lorado Taft, our foremost American sculptor, was the speaker for the afternoon, and his subject was “My Dream for a Museum." When he speaks it seems you are journeying along with him in a world of thought guided by his master mind. 1 sincere- I ly hope his dieam will materialize i during his lifetime. Mr. Taft is, at present, devoting all his time to his new work “The Pioneer Group.” The artists dinner was held Sunday -veiling at the new Lake Shore Athletic Club, and it was the most beautiful social affair I ever attended Captain Norman Inrie, of Culver Military , Academy was toastmaster, and the subject for the evening was “UtiTnor in Art." The responses were from , different artist groups. Frank Dud ley, president of the Chicago Society of Painters and Sculptors; William Forsythe, artist; Will Vawter. artist; Gaar Williams, cartoonist; John E. Weiss. Cincinnati academy; Mrs. Maude Eggemeyer, artist; Homer, Davisson, artist: and Ralph Seymour, j etcher. The music was furnished by the Olive Maine school of Opera from South Bend. Monday noon we were guests of Marshall Fields at a luncheon in the Wedgewood room. Mr. K. haeffer, head of the advertising department was our host. Art in industry was discussed from the artists standpoint, and the business standpoint. The day was closed with a tea in the galleries, and Tuesday the salon was opened to the pub'ic. The three days were full of joy for those attending. For the group of our striving artists whose work was rejected, the salon was a dissappoint-' men!, but in real art ns in any other i pursuit worth while, the standard is ! high, and it takes three things to succeed; first, a geninue love of the .beautiful, then understanding and last!

but not h ast, work, work, work. All attlstH have the first und last, but the second Is often weak, duo to their inability to raise the necessary funds for study. But our lives uro our own to make or break, und whether we find a place in the light or shadow Is entirely up to us. Life Life is Just a picture hung in light and shade And our hand must hang It, steady, unafraid, in that endless gallery liitng with works of mon, Which shall be our corner at our journeys end. Will the light surround us or in darknos sdor-p Dust begrimed, forgolten must our canvas sleep.

Ya«rer & Falk Druu Store F.am every section of Decatur, including many nearby towns, there came a vast number of people to find out about this new Konjola medical compound. It is appalling to note the great majority of modern people who are suffering from different

G. H. MOSBY. Discoverer of Konjola : forms of stomach, liver, kidney and bowel disorders. Several prominent, well known citizens were among the first to purchase this medicine. Konjola is being sold in large ouanthies at the Smith. Yager & Falk Drug Store where large crowds are calling to purchase this celebrated medicine or ask for information or advice. Konjola takes a different form of action on the human system than any previously known remedy. It is a liquid, taken immediately after meals, which works with the sufferers own food. It contains the medical ingredients of twenty-two natural plants. These have the best possible < ffect on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, that your food works witli nature, restoring a more healthy action to these important organs. After all, it is nature that really does the work, and Konjola simply brings the help that nature requires. This is the safest, surest and best way to conquer the ailments so many people are suffering, for example: Sharp pains over the kidneys, a dull, achy feeling across the back, swollen limbs, frequent night rising, dizziness, spots before the eyes, liver trouble, including biliousness, sick headaches, yellowish complexion and constipation, wild heart palpitation, feeling like fire from the throat to the pit of the stomach, intense pains and a feeling like a rock in the pit of the stomach, sour, acidy risings in the throat, cramps, etc. Many other forms of Suffering arise from the disordered condition of tiie stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Rheumatism and neuritis is common. Catarrh often develops, which is one of the most stubborn diseases mankind is heir to, with the ringing and roaring in the ears, clogged nostrils and general wasting away of flesh ant energy. This ailment must be conquered from the system within. The new Konjola comes to Decatur for the first time, direct from successes in larger cities. Its appearance in one large Ohio Valley city recently brought so jnany restorations to health that 561 public statements of indorsement were isued in praise of this remarkable remedy, many from public officials, nurses, ministers and people in all walks of life. Konjo’a is now being sold in Decatur at the Smith, Yager <Sr Falk Drug Store, where many people are calling to find out aboot this surprising new medicine.
