No direct light falls on the body, but only reflections, each casting some lovely color as it falls. The finish with which the picture has wcu uou" " ". Randolph L Coau, who is a former i Richmond man and winner of the Mary T. R Foulke prize last winter, is represented by some of the best canvases which he has ever exhibited here. Among them is his portrait of "Mr. Greenburg," which recently took two prizes at the Indiana State fair. Among the figures he is showing one, "Gertrude," similar in some respects to his "Io!a," which hangs in the gallery's permanent collection. A lovely landscape is "Housetops and Bay," in which one looks across the roofs of a little coast town to a bright blue bay flecked with white sails, and then far on beyond the bay to the white clouds above the distant dunes. "Riverview Gossip," the largest of Mr. Coats's pictures, was painted among the tenements along the Ohio river in Cincinnati. A small picture rich in color entitled "Sesco's Garden" which was shown here last spring, is again on exhibition. The garden, which is an out-door restaurant in Provincetown, Mass., has been a favorite subject for many artists. Mr. Weis is also showing a couple of pictures of Ceso's and Mrs. Maude Kaufman Eggemeyer, who spent some time in Provincetown this summer, has pictures which she painted at the same place. Offers Contrast "Pennsylvania Yards", painted on a rainy day, from a height overlooking the railroad yards with steaming engines on the tracks, and the blurred outline of a great spanning bridge above, offers contrast to the other pictures Mr. Coats is showing. One of the finest bits of portraiture on exhibit is the "Sketch of Joe" by John E Nels. A dark-haired, ruddyfaced boy is depicted. Only the head has been finished, the rest of the picture being roughly suggested in such
a manner as to give the effect of a ring with Dr. R. C. Julian, state vetpastel, erinarian. regarding measures to corn-
One of the best landscapes which Mr. Wels is showing is "Fields in June" which hangs to the left of "Cumberland Children". Rich bright colors have been used In the fields which flank the road to the distant village. The tone gradations from the brilliant foreground to the town In the distance have been executed so skillfully that they are scarcely perceptible. Delightful Landscape "Fog" Is another delightful landscape painted by Mr. Wels in which high color notes are subdued by the misty fog. The deepest color tones In the picture are in a tree and boat in the foreground. Mr. Weis' "Italian Inn." painted

MODERN TEXT BOOKS NEEDED FOR SCHOOLS SAYS G. 0. WILLIAMS
"Methods of teaching change, and books should be changed to accord with them. The use of modern textbooks in our schools is as much a necessity as in any other line of endeavor." These words summarize the j stand of C. O. "Williams, county super intendent of schools, on the matter ot changing school books in accordance with recommendations of the state board of text book commissioners. "There is no comparison between the new school books and the old," said Mr. Williams. Saturday. "When the board took up the matter of selecting new text books it had in mind not the price but the selection of the very best possible material for our schools. "We are spending more money for schools today and teachers are being better paid. Why should we use out-of-date text books, designed for an out-fo-date method of teaching, when we are paying out this money for modern equipment in other particulars?" Spend More This Year Mr. Williams' statement was made in the course of a discussion regarding the increased cost of text books this year. Figures which have been compiled show that the people of Indiana will spend $188,000 more for text books this year than last. The state board has recommended the use of nine new elementary textbooks which will replace seven that have been in use for several years past. The total cost of the nine new books Is $8.53. The cost of the old books was $3.40 but the companies would not have been able to supply them for this sum this year. They submitted bids, however, on the old form of text book, the bids totaling $7.01. Thus, according to Mr. Williams' statement, the Indiana school children receive the benefit of the "last word" in text books at what is really only a $1.50 increase over what would have bsen paid if the change had not been made. Cites Instance. An instance of the difference between the new and old books was cited I Tltl Xltns
to the change in geographies. Therel)ort from a number of country
old method of teaching was known as the topical method. It divided states into groups according to arbitrary rules that had little reference to tfte geographical features of the country. For instance, the southern states were so called because of a historical division. The new method is called the regional system. That is, a number of ! states having the same climatic fea tures, producing the same products, are grouped together and studied in this manner. Greater efficiency and increased speed in teaching are advantages of the method. Similiar instances were cited in physiology and grammar text books. "In teaching physiology," said Mr. Williams, "the whole aim today is to take the affirmative side of the question. The pupil is told to do this and that as a matter of health. A few years ago, physiology emphasized the danger of disease. Today, it stresses the prevention of diseaseT" "Pupils are taught to care for their bodies not through fear but as a matter of health. It is a moral force today rather than a matter of discipline. NEIGHBORLY STATES SUSTAIN HOG LOSSES (By- Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1. Hog cholea, which is spreading throughout herds in Indiana, causing considerable loss to farmers, is also prevalent in surrounding states, particularl v Ohio and Illinois, according to Dr. E. G. Houk, chief of the hoc; cholera division of the bureau of animal industry, Dr. Houk was here today conferbat the disease. Quarantine measures may be necessary in some localities, Dr. Julian says. As the first step toward checking immediate vaccination. Immunization from cholera is certain, he says, if the animals are vaccinated before the disease infects a herd. Announce Special Program at Grace M. E. Church Rev. A. H. Backus, pastor of Grace Methodist church, will deliver an address on "National Responsibility,'' Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. The evening service at 7:30 o clock his canvesses. Another excellent portrait is that of "Aleck" who sits bearm. The bright sunlight on the field beyond the arbor is suggested in a delightful manner. Mr. Wessel will be remembered for his striking canvas of a New England town which was considered last spring in competition with Mr. Coats "Iola" for the Mary T. R. Foulke prize. Mr. Wessel, whe is an Indiana man, was awarded several prizes at the recent &tate fair held at Indianapolis. Some Arabs are extremely fond of hyena stew, and this despite the fact that even a dog turns from hyena meat in disgust.
The rami and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
The manager of the elevator at New Madison reports having heard vi recent cholera in but two herds of hogs. He remarked that a few of them had died "from medicine,' meaning that the vaccination was done a bit too late. "The scare started farmers to immuning their porkers, and it seems that the disease was promptly checked." New Madison seems to be the high spot on wheat on the surrounding map. The elevator at that point was taking in wheat at $1.23 on Friday. and was at the same time paying 4!) cents for corn. The manager said that a little grain was coming in every day. "Coal trade continues slow," he said. Very little grain moving this week, is the news from Straughn, "but we shipped a car of wheat and another of corn, last Saturday," said the elevator man. "As to wheat sowing, there will be less of it than last year. Farmers are not in love with present price, and there is the danger from the fiy to think about. We have sold nearly five cars of coal lately, and have a fair stock. Have heard of no sick hogs nearer than eight or nine miles south, but do not know as to losses of hogs down that way." The Report From Lynn, In a brief chat with the manager of the Lynn elevator we learned that fanners had complained of some cholera in their hog lots a week or nioie ago, and that there were some losses, but not thought to have been serious. "This cholera talk seems to have died down," said the elevator man, and 1 guess the worst is over, if it ever was bad.' The talk at Lynn is for about a 75 per cent wheat acreage to go in this fall, chinch bugs, flies and low price all being against putting in wheat. As one Randolph county farmer said the other day: "Sowing wheat is a habit; you can't break it; as a i fact I wouldn't feel right without a little wheat in, even if I knew I shouldn't break even on it." "While coal is moving to the farms, and into town homes, a little more frlv 1llRt w. our trade isn't vet un the averae for th seas0.Q"' is he elevators, while others are telling ot a more normal business during past two weeks. j Planning to Keep Warm. j Manager Adams of the elevator at Hagerstown said on Saturday, "we are not yet having a rush of coal orders, but have handled three cars in five days." He said prices had been sliding down on wheat. They had paid $1.17 last week; got down to $1.15 on Wednesday and are now paying but $1.13. No new corn was offered as yet, and but very little old corn crossing the scales these days, Is the way he sized it up. No sick hogs had been reported by any farmer visiting the plant. Various Hog Reports. The elevator folks at Williamsburg said on Friday that whatever loss had resulted from hog cholera was evidently very small. A lot of vaccination was done as quickly as the danger was discovered. The report from Crete was that it was understood that there had been some sickness in the pens, with loss of hogs, here and there, but not in serious numbers. "The loss was the heaviest around spartansourg, was the report. In fact it was said no hogs were lost in the immediate vicinity of! Crete, as our informant stated, or at least that he had learned of. The scare seems subsiding, mostly because of preventative measures. Sporadic cases have been reported from six of Wayne county townships, covering past two weeks. From as far north as Wisconsin Wayne Farmers Inspect Crane Dairy Herd Carl Coggeshall and Walter Strong, well known Wayne county farmers, went to Lebanon Saturday morning, to visit Perry Crane, and to inspect his herd of Guernseys. Mr. Crane is the state farm bureau secretary, is a noted breeder of Guernsey cattle, and the mission of the pilgrims from Wayne is "to buy a bull" a top-notcher, for the. benefit of their hf r.ds- .Irank Strong, one of the pig club prize winners, accompanied his father on the trip, Farm Sale Calendar Tuesday, October 4.

come reports of apples in blossom and lilacs in bloom. Roses putting out new flowers are common and in some instances berries are forming. Winter rye shows luxuriant growth, entirely out of the ordinary, because of a summer like September. Raising Your Own Fish. The state fish and game commission report that several Indiana landowners have dug fish ponds, or dammed suitable sites for future fishing grounds, in the past year or two, is of some interest. A number of our farmers can find suitable sites for such ponds, both for ice and for fishing later on. We recall a small, deep pond, constructed by a farmer at Giraid, Kansas, from which a number of nice bass and croppie were taken every year, and which also provided ice to the townsfolk in summer. A deep well and a windmill supplied fresh water to the pond in dry seasons. Farm Machinery Prices CuL The International Harvester com pany has announced another reduction m the price of farm machinery, to date from Oct. 1. The cut figures at from 10 to '20 per cent, this on top of the 10 to 15 per cent general reduction made last March and April.
