GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Our Peat Lands G. M. Gonzet, agricultural engin- eer from the University Experiment- al Station at St. Paul, who has been commissioned by the state to investi- sate Minnesota’s peat lands, spent three weeks in the vicinity of Rol- lis, Grygla, Thorvick, Roseau and Carmel. The result of the investigation, Mr. Conzet says, shows that the ter- ritory visited has greatest possibil- ities as a grazing and stock raising country. One of the best fields of tim- othy hay ever grown in Minnesota was found during the three weeks’ investigation. The peat land also grows clover in great abundance; the crop of Alsike being especially good. In nearly all of the country visited settlers were found on prac- tically every quarter section. They are almost exclusively Scandinavians and Germans and are frugal and thrifty. Nearly all of them subscribe for one or more agricultural papers and have settled in the country for the purpose of making their farms pay. The farmers who had started with good breeds of cattle and were enthusiastic with the results obtain- ed thus far. The soil is mearly all peat from six inches to four feet in depth and underlald with six to eight inches of black dirt. The character of the country is such that the,soil retains water for a long period and it was not until after the ditches were m operation that the land could be tilled. Mr. Conzet stated that the |ial ditches had practically made the country and that the farmers had followed them- as ‘the land became drained, and established their homes. —Baudette Region. SHERIFF SAVES A NEGRO FROM Mllll Enraged Farmers Uuihlfled In Mad Chase. Caruthersville, Mo., Aug. mob of several hundred farmers, bent on lynching a negro who attacked Mrs. Olife Johnson at Canaddy, six miles south of here, was. folled by, Sheriff Stubblefield and his deputies when the officers placed their prisoner: in an auto and outdistanced a score’ of other machines which pursued them -over a large portion of Pemi- scott county. After a series of flights from one town to another, barely preceding the enraged farmers in each instance, Stubblefield flagged a train at a side station ten miles north of Caruthers- ville and took the black to Cane Girardeau. Mrs. Johnson, young wife of a pros- perous Canaddy farmer, was alone at her home when the negro asked for a drink of water. As she started to comply he seized her and dragged her into a fleld a hundred yards from the house. Two dogs came to the woman's rescue, but after beating them off' the: negro overtook the fleeing woman. Upon releasing Mrs. Johnson he threatened to kill her if she told any one what had happened. A farmer attracted by the woman’s screams gave the alarm and several posses ‘were soon formed, the farmers using scores of wagons and automobiles in the man hunt. The negro was found asleep in & barn six miles from the scene of the crime. Fun 1n Space. I dreamed last night that 1 was pres- ent at a committee meeting of the sun, earth, moon and stars. “P’m no coward,” said the earth, “No, but you bave two great fears,” sald the sun hotly. “And those are?” The hemispheres.” “You've forgotten the atmosphere,” put in the moon. And the comet, who. had no business to be there, wagged his tall with joy. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other_diseases put together, and ‘until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.

HOMER MARTIN, “VIEW ON THE SEINE” Copyright, 1913, by The Mentor Association, Inc. Of all our great artists the most‘ unsuccessful financially was Homer Dodge Martin. popular; His work was not he never won any prizes; and indeed he was long focred to depend for a living on the assist- ance of his wife. Like many other early American artists, he was self-taught. His fa- ther, a carpenter in Albany, New York, was not easily persuaded to let the boy follow up a natural tal- ent for painting., Martin first tried carpentering, shopkeeping, and ar- chitecture. In each case his desire to draw pictures was too strong for him,— boards, paper, blank walls, were decorated with landscapes,— until his employers found it neces- sary to discharge the young artist. At last a sculptor of the time plead- ed for him, and Homer was permit- ted to paint. Martin insisted on doing every- thing in his own way, and he did not get far at first. His admirers can find hardly more than an occasional hint in these crude early works of the great skill that their author af- terward acquired. Nevertheless, the wealthier people of Albany, who were proud of their artist, bought a number of Martin’s canvases. It was not until he moved to New York in 1862 that this queer genius had a really hard struggle to live. His habits were Irregular, he dress- ed badly, and generally made a poor impression. The great Whistler said, introducing him, “Gentlemen, this is Homer Martin. He doesn’t look as it he were; but he is. Revolutionary ideds and — Keen cutting ~ humor made him as many enemies as friends Strangely enough, he chose quiet, calm landscapes to paint. He was at- tracted to the Catskills, Adirondacks, and White Mountains, and in Eu- rope preferred tranquil scenes along the upper Thames and in Normandy. Homer Martin seldom painted di- rect from nature; but would sketch in his notebook and jot down color memoranda. Less surprising, there- fore, than it would seem at first is the painting of two famous pictures in 1895, when he was all but blind. “The Adirondacks” and the “View on the Seine” rank with his best work. Two years later he died. Martin was not appreciated dur- ing his lifetime. The few pictures that he did manage to sell were pur- chased by his friends. Today few of his important pictures can be bought at any price. Everyday a different human in- terest story will appear in The Plo- neer. You can get a beautiful intaglio reproduction of the above - picture, with five others; equally attractive, 7 x 91-2 inches in size, with this week’s “Mentor.” In “The Mentor” a well known authority covers the subject of the pictures and stories of the week.
