Mademoiselle Denise Desplats of
Paris, France, who is exhibiting a
number of realistic oil
at Mrs. June’s Art Shop, 719 Chap-
parral, Corpus Christ!, will exhibit
many of her paintings here during
the District Congress of Mothers
and Parent-Teacher Associations to
be held here April 3rd, 4th and 5th.
She has also consented to lecture
while she has her exhibit here.
Mrs. H. T. Elkins, local P. T. A.
president and vice president of the
district, is delighted because-of the
artist’s engagement here, and ex-
presses the hope that everybody in
the city and vicinity will avail
themselves of the advantage of see-
ing the splendid exhibit.
Tuesday’s Corpus Christ! Caller
has the folowing to say regarding
the exhibit:
“Severe realism characterizes the
oil paintings by Mile Denise Des-
plats on exhibit at Mrs. June’s Art
Shop, 719 Chaparral street. The
gallery of thirty-six canvases, most
of them familiar scenes, opened yes-
terday, to continue throughout this
week. Many art lovers called yes-
terday and were received by Mrs.
Harry G. Heaney, aunt of the pain-
ter. Mademoiselle Desplats is vis-
iting here in the Heaney home.
“Most of the scenes are from
Flour Bluff, Rockport, Ingleside,
Calallen, Shell road, Robstown road,
the Oso and other spots familiar to
loqal motorists. The only painting
in the exhibit from France is the
picture of a lone tree in Brittany,
brought over “for the sake of senti-
ment” said Mademoiselle Desplats.
J“Nor does the painter hesitate to
a|r»-ess her likes and her dislikes.
w*ile many Texas flowers are rep-
resented in the exhibit, there are
no blue bonnets. Several visitors
yesterday wanted to know bow-
come—“I don’t like blue bonnets,”
was Mademoiselle Desplats’ frank
explanation. And she is a far better

the Chainber of Commerce meeting
at Odem Friday evening and heard
Dr. Frederick Vining Fisher speak
on a campaign of advertising for
South And Southwest Texas.
*
The plan includes forty counties,
to join an advertising campaign
whereby South and Southwest Tex-
as would be advertised nationally,
a series of lectures on the section
served by the Old Spanish trail to
supplement the advertising proper.
A general meeting will be held
in April in San Antonio attended by
delegates from the forty counties,
when final approval of the plane
of procedure and the area to be
covered in the advertising cam-
paign, will be made.
Dr. Frederick Vining Fisher, who
is open to a lecture engagement on
eastern platforms in behalf of this
said that a year’s work.
“Evergreen Acres” is the musi-
cal and meaningful slogan adopted
by the Odem Chamber of Commerce,
to be used in connection with all
advertising sent out by that body.
The slogan was suggested by Mrs.
O. L. Shipp of Sinton, who today
received a check for $5.00, from the
secretary of Odem Chamber of
Commerce, J. J. Poinbeouff, the gift
of Butler & Seull, Odem merchants,
who offered a prize of that amount
for the best slogan for Odem.
A stamp has already been pre-
pared, a map of the Odem truck and
garden growing territory, under
which the slogan “Evergreen Acres"
appears. It will be stamped on
letters, and stationery and any ad-
vertising matter sent out by mem-
bers of the Odem Chamber of Com-
merce.
Mrs. Shipp is receiving congrat-
ulation from her many friends who
afe proud of her having furnished
Odem with a suitable and accept-
able slogan.

iWW* |*a4 discussed every phase, of
jjjcf it freely. After this conference, we
went through th plant and found
it complete in every detail. Every-
j thing is systematized and thorough-
ly organized. We discussed the
matter with business men, bankers
And even farmers who were furnish-
ing the milk to the plant and as a
p ; result of our investigation, we have
‘-iqPL unanimously agreed that a plaint of
this kind would benefit Sinton and
the territory surrounding it for 30
to 40 miles in every direction; how-
ever ; it would benefit the towns in
that territory as much, practically,
it would help Sinton as the milk
checks are mailed to the farmer or
1 dairyman who deposits them in his
local hank, thus distributing the
money- over the entire district. For
. instance, we found through talking
Mr. Barton with the First
• National Bank, at Longview in
Gregg County, 24 miles from Mar-
shall, that his County is now receiv-
ing about $9000.00 monthly in milk
from the Marshall plant.
The only advantage Sinton would
have over the other towns would
be iu thq local pay roll, which would
not amount to a great deal as the
plant only employs 10 to 12 people.
L The plant at Marshall has now
operation 9 months and
the local stockholders and others
interested appear entirely satisfied

section,
reaching 180 audiences of an aver-
age of 500 people each, could be
made for $35,000. About $5,000 of
this money would revert back to
South Texas for expenditure on
literature in conjunction with the
lecture tour. Doctor Fisher told
painter than a botanist
not know the names of many of the
flowers she sots down on canvas.
“There is a little story behind
each of several pictures in the ex-
hibit and to know those stories is
to appreciate their spontaniety the
more. For instance, there’s “The
Calallen Road,” the curve in the
highway this side of Calallen, with
its old house on the hill, the crazy
telephone poles and the shrubbery
by the side of the road. The ‘motor
in which Mademoiselle Desplats was
riding one day was responsible for
a casualty among a flock of chick-
ens on that road. She left the car
and the scene before her fascinated
her; she painted it.
“There are other pictures which
local people will place instantly,
among them being a scene from the
wind-swept, barren bayshore be-
tween Aransas Pass and Rockport.
Along that thoroughfare, some of
the live oak trees are burdened with
the prevailing southeasterly winds
and the trees lean northwestward.
Mademoiselle Desplats has done this
scene with a fidelity which is some-
what suggestive of her portrayal of
the tree in Brittany.
“ ‘Blue Monday,’ a wash-day scene
in a city dweller’s back yard, was
one of the most popular pieces in
the display. The artist’s favorite,
however, is ‘The Old Calallen Dam.’
‘Creek,’ a section ^of the Nueces
river intimate in its detail, was an-
other striking canvas: x
“All of the paintings' showed
depth of color and object, with a
vigor in their execution. For those
finish it. Short discussions of the
most interesting Bible passages will
follow.
On next Sunday morning, the pas-
tor will preach on the subject he
had announced to preach on when
he was taken ill, “What is Thy
Name?” He will ask all members
present where his text is found,
and under what condition the ques-
tion was asked. \
