THIS WEEK'S COVER
- JOHN ATHERTON painted his picture of the stern-wheeler at Louisville, Kentucky, where the Ohio rolls along on its way to the Mississippi. Atherton enjoyed his stay in Louisville, but lost one of his millions of American dollars, the artist went to Kentucky prepared to find that people there take things pretty easy. He found no sooner taken a preliminary squint at the river boat than a bustling Kentuckian took him in hand and arranged for the artist to work from a barge which afforded him much better view. While relaxing at lunch, Atherton remarked that he had some little time, as he had to do a good deal of wandering up and down the river, in search of the proper site. A second energetic Kentuckian immediately put a car and driver at Atherton's disposal, so that the artist could cover more territory in less time. The motorized painter came back convinced that Kentucky is full of expediters.
