He is a painter of nature and of the out- doors, and whether the subject is ugly or beautiful, he will tell the truth about it. Above all Mr. Ufer is an intelligent painter. The design underlying his composition appeals to the mind as his colors to the senses. However such a landscape appears to be a cas- ual selection out of nature, it is based firmly on the best rules of painting. Representative Art In the cry for an American art, Mr. Ufer"s work responds as representa- tive of America in subject and spirit. It is such painters who will bring to the art of the country a personality dis- tinctly its own, not a foreign and unsuited art methods that If a|triangle hill is hard-baked and bare and hot he [in the black jars is notable.

In his character study it is the Indian as an integral part of the clay hills and desert that seems to concern Mr. Ufer rather than the Indian as an individual. Thanks School Children for Xmas Seal Campaign Mrs. Hymen L. Raclin of 528 Elder lane, who has been in charge of the sale of Christmas Seals, wishes to ex- press her appreciation of the splendid work done by the school children of Winnetka in selling the seals. The school children were most energetic in seeing that many people were given the opportunity of buying the Seals that are sold annually for this cause, Raclin is most appreciative of their efforts.
