P. Gardiner of Tarry town, N.Y. and is now on display at the Sun offbe. The painting portrays a beau- tiful farm scene along a slope of the Green Mountains at t b e foot of which is a rapid stream. A young maiden is seen leading tbe farm animals down the slo ping path toward their shelter. The folia re'and trees in the dis tance appear almost realistic. Mr. Gardiner took up this art a few years ago as a hobby and his efforts have revealed a hith ;rto unknown talent. During the summers while visiting in this vicinity he has painted sev- eral sketches of scenes in Fort Covington- and along the Salmon •iver. While at Daytona Beach, Florida the past winter one of his paintings sold for $400. Mr. Gardiner, who is a native of this section, also won consid erable popularty by his editorial contributions to Daytona Beach papers during recent months. One particular article which he wrote, \Some Advice on Golden Eggs and Layers Thereof,\ gain- ed nation-wide attention and re- ceived favorable comment from Henry L. Morgenthau, secretary of treasury, and a personal \riend of Mr. Gardiner, and from A. R. Forbrush, an official of the national recovery administrat- ion. Mr. Gardiner further believes that the article was influential in gaining legislation for a re- duction in the gold dollar. The editorial appeared in the Day have been depending upon put ting their cows out to pastur early to relieve the strain upon tbeir already depleted pocket books.

While Mr. Farmer has jus cause for complaint for such tragedy to happen in a year of hard times when a little good fortune would have helped ou so much, Mrs. Farmer, too, has her worries.
