artists of the day it was at ndwlyn too that she opened with mr for bes the famous art school which bears their name and which has given so many young artists a sound grounding in the essentials of their craft and an outlook upon nature and life all the more joyous and free by reason of tho beauty of their sur roundings in this garden of the west academy drawbridges are up to the approach of

wus imperative and the result was that an important oil pointing when daffodils be gin to peer was purchased and in accordance with tbe generous desires of mr forbes and his son to com memorate mrs forbes connection with canada tho purchase price ofi the picture was paid over- to the canadhinad cross society and the young mens christian association war work tn france but this was not all mrs forbes was an accomplished otchor and the national gallery deblred to obtain examples of her work in medium and the desire was satisfied by mr forbes in a most magnificent way by the presentation df no less than two additional water colors three color studies for illustration fifteen etch ings and three charcoal drawings mrs forbes representation in the national collection of her native country is now a wide and interest ing one and it is hoped that as soon as the national gallery recovers its lost premises a memorial exhibition of the artists work will bo held with the addition of ouch pictures as are in the possession of prlyute owners mrs forbes art wob essentially nor mal sane and strong dealing as so much of it did with her cornish sur roundings with their clear bright color it developed corresponding qualities of paint which aided by forceful draftsmanship gave ber imagination its viable message the difference of the machine and feminine qualities in terms of art baa been

conscious egotism of the male sritle bag seen in it qualities of color and draftsmanship unusual in a woman and therefore savoring of some high er affinity may we not expoat the daywhen any speolal quality of r qnemerit in the work of a man will bo dubbed feminine by tho woman orftlot jb6 that as it may mrij forbes work in painting and lu etching possessed a strength and tltautrhlob coupled with

tbe looks of their grain and in certain cases in which some ball had fallen tbeyputin claims for insur ance the ball companies however after the usual inspection refused the application on the ground that tbe damage complained of was not due to bail but to tbe depredations of an insect samples of the affected grain were then sent to edmonton for expert analysis the weed and beed branch has received a number of such samples but has not yet com pleted its examination of thorn the damage to the wheat stalk is similar to that caused by the hessian fly with differences that indicate some new
