Most Worthy Pictures to be Seen Here For Years, Jonas Lie Exhibit

McAdoo, Tunnel Builder, Lawyer, Head of RaQroads, Looms Among Democrats

By EMMA L. FETTA. Jonas Lie, a young Norwegian, now resident of New York City, will open an exhibit of 30 remarkable paintings in the Richmond Public Art Gallery Thanksgiving afternoon. Equipped technically to paint great pictures, ani with imagination capable of grasping artistic possibilities, Lie has gained quickly and by ability a foremost place in America's world of art. The hanging committpp, of which Mrs. Maude Kauffman EKgemeyer is chairman, was at work all Tuesday. Mr. Lie's canvasses to be seen la Richmond have hung in many galleries of the country and have been universally praised. Especially praiseworthy are those of the Panama Canal Zone, which he visited during the construction of the canal and made not only historic, but epic making in art, his ecenes of H. Among the "Big Ditch" pictures 13 "The Heavenly Host", hanging on the east wall of the east gallery. It seems he has painted, as one critic said, "With an almost artless sense of scale, leaving tho 'majesty of the affair to take care of Itself." If there were noth. lng else, his pictures would still bs sincere; as It is this sincerity constitutes half their charm. "The Heavenly Host" has a low sky line and a high expense of besmirched sky tarnished by the steam and smoke. Rising high into the air are the

gallery. Particularly forceful is the feeling of dignity in this picture. A local artist remarked that the great perpendicular precipice rising on the right of the canvas gave the whole the same dignity in offsetting the rumble of the business if construction to the right that a wonderfully dignified dress gives to a persou of less etateliness. A few facts about Jonas Lie follow: Born In Moss. Norway, 18S0. Present home New York city.

same way, though not, of course, to the same degree. Equally provocative was another man's view a police court mission worker. Work, One Remedy. "I fancy," he said, "that much of the unrest arises from losses sustained in the war. Sometimes a man

gets in the mood of a dog which guards a bone. He thinks all the' world is against him and wants to rob i him. He is soured and embittered by ! his trials, and ready to do anything against his fel!ow-ruen, heedless of consequences. I know that the most desperate characters in a local riot wtv? those who had a direct personal interest in a shrine at the corner of the street!" Here is variety enough, surely! In the main, however, the present unrest is one of the inevitable consequences of war, though it has doubtless been aggravated by profiteering, as practiced alike by the government, shopkeepers, employers and employed. I say "employed" deliberately, because there Is no essential difference between obtaining the highest possible price for a commodity and the highest possible price for one's labor. And let the public ponder this fact. It is only since workers, a3 such, have been unable to profiteer at the expense of the community that they have realized what a terrible thing profiteering is. ; And now what is the real remedy for our trouble? I will tell you in one word work! Work, not as hard ns before, but a little harder, that we may make up the leeway we have lost.

Alfalfa: Its Value and How to Grow It III. Successful Method of Seeding Two or Three Acres

By P. G. HOLDEN

OR a small patch of two or three acres, a very satisfactory method of

getting a stand of alfalfa is to manure a piece of ground near the Darn where it cau be mo.st conveniently used for lto pasturp. The ground should be plowed, fitted, and sowed to rape, early in the spring. This

should be used for hoff pasture during May and June. During the first week of July the rt'pe stubble should be mowed down anil the ground thoroughly

dished, then plowed and again aistteu and harrowed. In about two weeks it should again be disked. Any time during the last week of July or the first week of August the ground should be thoroughly disked und worked down so that it is firm and solid. One of the most common mistakes is In not disking the ground before It Is plowed and in not making a firm, solid seed bed before sowing. If rain comes during the latter part of July or the first of August, it Is a good plan to prepare the ground end sow the seed at once while there is sufficient moisture in the ground to sprout the seed and give the young alfalfa a good start. If the weather is very dry. It is a good plan to put the seed In with a drill or disk It In, to secure sufficient moisture to start it at once. When the ground has been disked and harrowed ready for seeding, do not wait ; sow the seed, and harrow and disk in at once while the surface soil is moist. Another method, and one with some advantages over the others where the season is not too dry. is to grow a crop of winter wheat, barley.

early oats, or early potatoes, and follow that crop with alfalfa. As soon as the grain is ripe, it should be cut. 15 or 20 loads of mannX spread to the acre, the grain hauled off and stacked or threshed as soon as possible. The ground should then be thoroughly disked to mix the

Mr. McAdoo has not announced his intention to st-.ek the naminai ion. 1 1 ? 1 1. it is not believed he would refuse it if it were offered him. William Gibbs McAdoo was born near Marietta, Ga., Oct.

It is the tribute we pay to art.

Remember that if the ground is inclined to De ary tne seea may dc uisseu in to good advantage. When possible, sow during the last part of July or the first part of August, as in the Corn Belt the chances for getting a good stand diminish rapidly after about August, 10.

INCREASING THE SUGAR CROP. A new process lias been discovered for the recovery of sucrose from final

noiasses, wbioh means a gain of at

it three and a half per cent, in the :rar crop of the Hawaiian Islands.

RESTORING THE ELASTICITY CF RUBBER. Rubber articles that have become hard recover their elasticity in a thort time if placed in three per cent, carbolic water or three per cent aniline solution. In the case of the carbolic solution it must not be forgotten that black goods exposed to it become gray. If it is desired to preserve the Mack or red color of the goods, that too can be done. A one per cent, solution of pentasulphate of potash is employed. It is true that this smells unpleasantly, but the restoration of elasticity is quite considerable.

Nearly every Japanese follows the profession of his father.

TO MAKE POTATO FLOUR. Arrangements have been made in Great Britain for the establishment of mills for the Droduction of potato flour, which it is hoped will be on a large scale. Although this industry has been established on the Continent for several years, it is a new one in Great Britain. Before the war there w ;- FiOO potato flour factories in operation in Germany. The present estimate -,s that there are now over 2.000 there. The British Ministry of Foods has for some time been conducting experiments !n potato flour, as there ha been an over-production of potato--, and the flour will provide means for the consumption of the over-up;iy.

The bishop said the council was not

in the slightest degree opposed to theaters or music halls. The people needed entertainment and a good laugh was good for everybody. "But what we will not tolerate." he added, "is filth. We are not going to have people go to theatres to hear things which will degrade them. The Chiistian people of London intend to put a stop to that sort of things. We fully believe the great majority of managers, authors and actor-managers are also anxious to stop it. and it is not the wish of the great acting profession that filthy performances should be given in London."

Roosevelis Open Coffee House as Business Deal

(By Associated Press! NEW YORK. Nov. 25 Purely as a business enterprise and not as a political venture, members of the Roosevelt family have associated themselves to conduct in New York a "Coffee house," a name reminescent. of the centers of political and literary discussion in earlier days in English history. The purpose of the company, in which Theodore., Archibald and Kermit Roosevelt, Dr. Richard Denby and Philip J. Roosevelt are directors, and for which articles of incorporation were filed at Albany yesterday, is to take over and manage an existing coffee house on the edge of the white light district. The direct supervision of the establishment will be in the hands of a professional.

"People have seen their j friends or acquaintances amass monev ; with unprecedented rapidity, and they. too. want to become rich in a hurry.")

who hold that the unrest is due. in ! part, to bereavement and other trials occasioned by the war. One of them propounded a striking theory. "We are paying now." ho said, "for the shnrt.-ici- of r-ssr-nt in J fonrlj hr.for..

"Go out and ask everybody you meet, from t lie duke to the dustman, winthere are strikes and riots, why there is so much muttering about revolution, and why there is such widespread discontent." Well, I have been out. For two days I have rainblod over London, north and south, east and west, intenopating men of all classes. And now I ain going to set. down the s-ubstunce of my gleanings, with some of n.y own impressions. First, wo must. !;-a.r in :nir.- that the turmoil through which wo are passing is not peculiar to our own countryRussia, France, Austria.. Spain, America, all have troubles similar to ours. Note, further, that such turmoil is not a product of our times only. Popular unrest, as a fact, always has been a sequel of war. An illustration which will occur to everybody is the commune of Paris in 1871. Immediately after the capitulation of the city to the Prussians the control of it was seized by the National guard, which aided by political extremists, held it for some months against the forces of the French government. So, again, in our own country after the Napoleonic wars. Then the workers were in a revolutionary mood, and there was much rioting of a very serious character. War, therefore, breeds discontent, and impels men to resort to the violent methods to which it h.is habituated them as a means of speedy relief. Having become familiar with force as the great, the decisive factor in international affairs, they think they sec in its application to their own grievances, real or imaginary', a short, cut to the millennium.
