JAGOUES TO HOLD EXHIBIIJIFWOHK Belgian Painter Will Give Reception Tomorrow WORK IN ARTS BUILDING Pictures Are of Peasantry and Fields of Ypres Emil Jacques, celebrated Belgian painter, who painted the sunny fields and the peasantry of Ypres before they were destroyed by the ravages of war, is to hold a two weeks’ exhibition of his work in the little museum in the Arts build ing beginning tomorrow. The ex hibition will open with a reception at eight o’clock in the evening, to which all faculty members, stu dents and townspeople interested have bepn invited by the school of architecture and allied arts. While here lie will act as critic of the student work at the jury day of the term. The region which was the artist’s birth-pla^e, and which became, dur ing the war, a desolate waste of trenches and shell-holes, is im mortalized in sunny canvases which portray the peculiar beauty of the country, the busy workers, and the rural occupations. Thus many of the paintings, aside from their artistic value, have become histori cal documents. A series of mural paintings representing the culture and industry of the flax, in ten panels, belongs to the city of Ant werp. “The Hop-Pickers,” and “Plax-Weeders” were purchased by the Belgian government. Is Student of Art Jacques studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp under the direction fo Professor A. DeVriondt, and later under the his torical painter Vender Andoraa at the Higher Institute of Art. Every summer was spent in the rural dis tricts that he loved, so, while the technical side of his art was de veloped in the city, the spirit of his pictures breathes tho beauty of the country. He has exhibited abroad, and received favorable re views not only in his own country but in Holland, at Amsterdam, Tho Hague, Rotterdam and other cities. > The thirty oils which Jacques is sending to the campus from Port land, where ho exhibited recently, are of a wido range of subjects. There are both landscapes and port raits. Tho langscapes will give an idea of his treatment of the vari ous aspects of nature from “Autumn in the Coast Range,” to “The Ocean •i Twilight.” “A Sunny Vibage in Handers,” “The Dutch Fisher man’s Wife,” “Fruit,” “Old Cor imr at Harlingen,” and “Portrait of Mrs. .1. B. B.” are a few of those sent. Paints Flemish Life i Besides the oils, three etchings, two monotypes, one original litho- . g'aph, one dry point and one nmz- ^ z'dint will be exhimrou, but i.erso will be undei gets- l An Amsterdam paper classes | Jacques with Emil Claus and Then , Van Rysselberghe in the held of . ■art, and as an interpreter of Firm- 1 ; ish life. “ La Belgique Artistiquol ■et Litteraire” characterizes his!, work as being “above tho immense I. bana’ity.” A newspaper of Tho Hague declares him to possess a'i skill which combines Dutch roili ism with the lightheartedness of France, thus combining in Belgium the best traditions of two eiviliza- , tions.

OREGON WRESTLING i PROSPECTS FAVORABLE Matmen Are Encouraged by Pre-season Work With only a month left before the opening of the wrestling season, Earl Widmer, varsity wrestling coach, has started to whip his men into shape for the O. A. C. meet sched uled for February 9. Oregon has not made a good showing in wrest ling in the past seasons, but from all indications a strong team will be [ put in the field. O. A. C. has won the Northwest championship for the past two years, but this year they are handi I capped by the loss of several veter ans. Robin Reed and Dick Nixon I are the only lettermen back. Nixon j is a 125 pound man while Reed j weighs 135 but can more than hold his own in any other weight. Oregon is the only school in the conference that has not lost a ma jority of its veteran wrestlers. It is true that no man earned his letter last year, but with the experience gained in meets, the local grapplers have a good chance to do it this year. A letter is given any man who wins a match in a conference meet. Bradway, a middleweight, is not back this year. Terjesen, who wres tled as a heavyweight, will probably not be able to compete on the mat, as he has not recovered from an in jury received during football sea son. Widmer has Akers, Mills, French, and Shields, all football men, who are battling for the heavy weight berth. Other men who have signed up for wrestling are Ford, French, Baird, Blaesing, High, Prescott, Rew, and Toole. With the return of Whit comb and Ford, it looks like there will be a scramble to see who will be able to earn a varsity position. The new 24 foot mat that was pur chased recently has given the grap plers more room. Tlio freshmen have heen turning nnt everv night and in this way give the varsity wrestlers competition. Freshmen that have passed the phy sical ability tests and have signed np for wrestling are Adams, Benson, Christenson, Harden, Leavitt, Ows lev, Rtimoson, Woods, Potter, and Lanrs. From the way that some of the frosh have heen showing up it will he a hard job to keep them from places on the varsity pext year. The schedule for the varsity wres tlers : February f>—O. A.

It should be used judi ciously but continuously in order to avoid inter ruptions. The business that is not advertised is standing still, which means that it is slipping and consequently headed in the wrong direction. Most all advertising has merit if well directed— but newspapers are generally recognized as the one best medium. Advertising to be effective must be honest and of interest to the reader. It is business news, or at least, most of it, is of that nature. It should tell its story and tell it well—arid then back of it there must be honesty of purpose and recognized value. It is only through advertising that a business can become nationalized—it is only through advertis ing that local merchants can climb out of the or dinary class and attain noteworthy success. Advertising, intelligently and judiciously direct ed, is the best investment that any business house can make. It is not regarded as an expense but as an investment. It is a part of any well directed business. Oregon Daily Emerald
