Chase County Museum Messenger
By Derrick Doty, director
Chase County Historical
Museum
of
Let’s start the New
Year off with a little
vexillology. Vexillology
is the study of flags.
Some time back we
learned about a World
War I era Liberty Bond
flag in our collection.
Just to refresh your
memory, the Liberty
Bond flag was presented
to Peoples Exchange
Bank of Elmdale by the
United States Treasury
Department for selling
their quota of bonds
during WWI. There are
a few other interesting
American flags in our
collection that are worthy of notice.
The largest flag,
measuring 100 inches
long, is possibly the
oldest flag in the collection. It is a 38 star flag
given to the museum by
Blanch Schwilling. Seen
here is the photograph
of Blanche Schwilling
with the flag that was
printed in the Emporia
Gazette on Flag Day
1969. Our 38th star was
added for Colorado
and served from July
4, 1877 through July 4,
1890. Congress always
declared the official
flag on July 4. The flag
is quite fragile, showing faded colours and
wear. Some holes have
been patched, and even
the patches appear to be
quite old. The flag has a
rope sewn into the hoist
for reinforcement and
button holes stitched
for the flag to be tied to
a pole.
The next flag of
interest is a printed 42
star flag for Washington
state. It’s time was short
lived as we only had 42
states for a period of
less than eight months
from November 11,
1889 to July 3, 1890. In
fact it was never declared an official flag.
And you’ll notice this
was the only time Congress deviated from its
traditional July 4 date
for declaring an official flag. Makers often
began producing flags
before they were officially declared in order
to get ahead of their
competition.
The final flag I would
like to mention is a
45 star flag. Utah was
added to the Union on
January 4, 1896, and so
this printed example
represented that state
until 1908.

Put A Little Library In Your Life--Gordon Parks: A Patron’s Passion
Dear Reader,
When the New York
Times announced the
Boston Museum of Fine
Art’s show highlighting 42 previously-unpublished photographs
by Gordon Parks, the
name looked vaguely
familiar. Gordon Parks-where had I heard that
before? From a patron,
searching for a book of
photographs taken by
Gordon Parks’ son while
in Vietnam. She’d been
visibly shocked that I
didn’t know the name
of the world-famous
photographer, nor any
of his works, which it
turned out were on the
shelves, DVD rack, and
in the Kansas room
(the photographs from
Vietnam we inter-library
loaned).
In order to honor
the Kansas man who
photographed Martin
Luther King, and to
make amends, here is
what I’ve gleaned: In his
documentary, Half Past
Autumn, Gordon Parks,
born in 1912, the youngest of fifteen in Fort
Scott, Kansas, raised on
a tenant farm, attended
a segregated elementary
school, remembered
a class advisor saying
black students didn’t
need to go to college,
since they’d be working
as maids and porters
anyway. Mr. Parks left
Kansas as a teenager,
and in multiple memoirs
in poetry and prose, as
well as his film based
on his Kansas boyhood,
The Learning Tree, he
depicts the land he
loved, and the harsh life
he knew as a black boy
growing up in a segre-
gated town.
Working for LIFE
magazine, he used his
lens to show the country
the great needs of the
world as well as their
own neighborhoods. The
show, Gordon Parks:
Back to Fort Scott,
opened on January 17,
and focuses on the trip
he made in 1950, returning to Fort Scott for the
first time since leaving
in 1927. The town was
still segregated. Along
the way, he looked up
eleven former middle
school classmates across
the midwest--now
working, or eking out a
living--to photograph
in their current lives.
From notes in the Gor-
don Parks Foundation
archives, it seemed part
of his plan to write a
racially-charged retrospective. LIFE never
ran the piece, and the
photographs remained
mostly unknown behind
his various pursuits in
music, art, and film.
Until Karen Haas, the
show’s curator, brought
them to light for the first
time.
Fortunately, people
are still bringing Gordon Parks to light.
Whether you’re familiar
with this famous Kansan, or surprised to find
another monumental
figure in the Midwest,
your curiosity will be
well paid by looking for
him. My thanks to this
patron, for introducing
him to me.

What's cooking in 2015? Pickled
eats, kitchen coaches, artisan
foods and stronger flavors
By Judy Hevrdejs
Chicago Tribune
Food forecasters and
culinary prognosticators
have spoken.
Bored by too-sweet
eats? Sour foods _ pickled and fermented _ are
moving onto the plate
to save our taste buds
in 2015, says J. Walter
Thompson, the marketing communication
folks.
Bitter is big, too, with
darker coffees, deeper
chocolates and cruciferous veggies joining the
mix, Technomic's food
industry researchers say.
Speaking of veggies,
you may soon put more
hybrid versions on your
shopping list, such as
Kalettes (kale plus Brussels sprouts) or broccoflower, a marriage of
_ if you have to ask, you
don't know your vegetables.
If you're grumbling,
"That doesn't sound
like real food," get this:
Expect more foods that
look and taste like the
real thing but aren't,
i.e. eggless Just Mayo
from Hampton Creek
Foods and tomato sushi
from San Francisco chef
James Corwell, say the
JWT folks.
And you may want to
make room next to the
food processor and juicer in your kitchen: 3-D
food printers geared to
the home cook are on
the horizon, reports online news service Food
Navigator-USA.
Here's what savvy
food folks say we'll be
cooking and eating in
2015:
Hybrid veggies: You'll
hear a lot about them,
"but they're going to
have a very small presence in our lives," says
Brian Wansink, director
of Cornell University's
Food and Brand Lab
and author of "Slim by
Design: Mindless Eating
Solutions for Everyday
Life." "They can't be
produced on the scale
that will make them
affordable to most of us,
and their health benefits
are marginal compared
to just taking broccoli
or kale or broccoli and
kale separately. ... (But)
anything that makes
vegetables more exciting
is good."
Fermented food:
"We're seeing it go
more mainstream, from
sauerkraut to using
kombucha or kimchee.
These products are used
not just as a condiment
but rather as the main
course," says SupermarketGuru's Phil Lempert, a food marketing
expert.
"While they've been
out there, there will
be an increased focus
where people are going
to understand that it
can aid digestion."
Kitchen mentors:
Cooking schools have
evolved. "It's more
about having people
who can empower you,
saying, 'Here's why you
use the shallot,' and not
somebody just saying,
'Use a shallot, chop it
up and whatever else,'"
Lempert says. "It's a
much more holistic
approach to cooking
foods."
Spice it up: New
spices and sauces turn
common eats exotic.
Expect companies to
develop Shake 'N Baketype bag mixes for, say,
green beans or cauliflower, Wansink says.
"It's also what we can do
as cooks" _ such as he
does, shaking veggies in
a bag with seasonings
before roasting them.
Sriracha, the new
ketchup? Expect more
flavors, fruits and
vegetables unique to
Latin America, but
expect Asian flavors
(to go with our ramen
appetite?) in the home
mix as well, says Darren
Seifer, a food and beverage industry analyst
with NPD Group, a
market research company. Their "kitchen
audit" found Sriracha
in 9 percent of homes.
"However, when you
look at homes where
the head of household is
younger than 35, about
16 percent have Sriracha. ... It's now a household staple."
Call it combo cooking: Convenience
foods once meant a
frozen dinner or entree,
trimmed prep, almostzero cleanup. Evidence
shows that meaning
is shifting to include
an element of freshness, Seifer says. "Now
it's 'How can I achieve
freshness while still getting out of the kitchen
in a short amount of
time?'"
Millennials using
fresh items doesn't
mean "they want to
be or are even becoming home chefs by any
stretch of the imagination."
It does mean they
may reach for liquid
eggs (cuts cracking
time), then add their
own flavorings.
Think craft foods:
Craft beer helped some
big brewers, "whether
they made it up, bought
it, acquired it, whatever," says Lempert _
for example, AnheuserBusch's purchase of
Goose Island Beer Co.
"We're starting to see
the same thing happen
in food. ... We're going
to see a lot more locally
produced, limited disPlease see Cooking, Page 13

tribution brands where
they finally realize that
every product that they
make doesn't have to be
bought by everybody in
America."
Same-day delivery:
Joining Peapod and
Amazon Fresh, "Google
Express is putting
every food retailer in
the same-day delivery
business," Lempert says.
That, in turn, changes
how we buy food. "We're
not going into a supermarket 2.2 times a
week."
Smoked foods: Restaurants and bars are already doing it. "Smoked
flavor makes foods more
complex," Lempert says.
Smoked cocktails, butters, vegetables and even
products that have been
on the shelf for a while
(fire-roasted tomatoes)
"are going to rise dramatically in the next
year," he says.
Clear the counters:
"People are going to start
understanding that how
they set up their kitchen,
how they serve food and
where they place food is
the biggest determinant
of how healthy they eat,"
Wansink says.
"Small adjustments _
getting all food off the
counter and only having
a fruit bowl on _ will do
more to influence how
people eat in 2015 than
any other thing."
Lyon County Historical Facts
Provided by Lyon County Historical Society
Santa Fe train crews made their last crew changes in Emporia on June 18, 1990. From then on, trainmen began working out of Kansas City. Emporia lost population as many long-time residents made the move. Others elected to remain living here although it meant
long drives to work and long drives home from work out of Kansas City. Prior to this business decision, railroaders had gone to work
in Emporia for 120 years. At one time a large roundhouse located east of Las Casitas Park had employed many men whose responsibility was turning engines to go the opposite direction after being hitched onto a different set of cars.
Emporia’s Harvey House, which served meals to Santa Fe patrons for 29 years, closed its doors in 1937, and the building was razed
in 1940. For years a favorite eating place in town, the Harvey House was lost in a decision made by general manager of the Santa Fe,
H.B. Lautz. The building had been constructed by S.N. Parker, Emporia contractor, in the summer of 1908. A three-story brick building, the Harvey House contained nine rooms for guests as well as its famous restaurant. The restaurant was heavily patronized by Santa
Fe passengers, but it was also a popular place for private parties with its reputation for fine service and excellent food.
USDA SELECTS FIRST PROJECTS OF NEW, INNOVATIVE PROGRAM
Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack today announced that 100 highimpact projects across all
50 states, including Kansas, will receive more than
$370 million as part of the
new Regional Conservation Partnership Program
(RCPP). RCPP focuses on
public-private partnership
and enables private companies, local communities,
and other non-government
partners a way to invest
in efforts to keep our land
resilient and water clean,
and promote tremendous
economic growth in agriculture, construction,
tourism, and outdoor recreation. This year’s projects in
Kansas will accomplish
a wide diversity of agricultural goals to improve
soil health, water quality
and water use efficiency,
wildlife habitat, and other
related natural resources
on private lands.
“Partners are seeing the
value of conservation and
investing in their future,”
Vilsack said. “These partnerships are forging a new
path for getting conservation on the ground and are
providing opportunities
for communities to have
a voice and ownership in
protecting and improving
our natural resources. The
Regional Conservation
Partnership Program ushers in a new era of conser-
vation, and we’re excited
about the down-the-road
benefits from this new
Farm Bill program.”
This year’s projects will
engage hundreds of partners with wide-ranging
interests, including communities, conservation
districts, agribusiness,
non-government organizations, for- and non-profit
organizations, state and
federal agencies, and Tribal governments. In addition to U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s (USDA)
funds, partners will contribute an estimated $400
million, more than doubling USDA’s investment.
“RCPP puts our partners in the driver’s seat,”
said Eric B. Banks, USDA’s
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
State Conservationist in
Kansas. “Projects are locally led, and demonstrate
the value of strong publicprivate partnerships that
deliver solutions to tough
natural resource challenges.”
In Kansas, there is one
multi-state project ap proved through a national
ranking pool.

Dear Helaine and Joe:
I am trying to find
out about this painting
which I have inherited.
I hope you may have
some answers.
Thank you,
A. D. L.
Dear A. D. L.:
Yes, we do have some
answers about this
charming painting of
three sheep in a barn
with a chicken pecking
at their feet and what
appears to be a cow
munching on the same
hay from another side.
Unfortunately, A. D. L.
failed to tell us the size
of this work, which is
one of the important
factors in determining a
painting’s value.
We had another
serious problem, which
finally resolved itself by
our resorting to trial
and error. All we had
was the artist’s name on
a brass plaque, and that
was so washed out in the
photo that all we could
make out was “C. Van
L_pu_ll_.” Eventually,
we converted the two
Ls to two Ts (we really
thought this was unlikely) and came up with
C. Van Leemputten.
Bingo! The artist’s
name was Cornelius van
Leemputten, a Belgian
painter who was born in

1841 and died in 1902.
His hometown was the
village of Werchter,
Belgium which is known
(as far as we can determine) for two things _ a
huge rock music festival
(the country’s largest)
and van Leemputten.
Van Leemputten is
known for his landscapes featuring sheep
and for his barnyard
scenes featuring chickens and roosters with
maybe a few pieces
featuring the images of
cows. Now and then a
human figure such as a
shepherdess will appear,
but this is somewhat
uncommon.
Van Leemputten was
essentially an untrained
artist even thought
he was a pupil at the
Antwerp Academy for a
short time. But despite
his lack of formal training, he won gold medals
at a number of international expositions including Ghent, Belgium,
in 1886, Edinburgh,
Scotland, in 1887, and
Berlin in 1896. In addition, van Leemputten was honored with
FLINT HILLS SHOPPER
Belgium’s highest honor,
the Knight’s Cross of
the Order of Leopold, in
1895.
When it comes to art,
we hesitate to make an
attribution on a brass
tag applied to a frame
because these can be
very misleading and
even incorrect. But in
this case, the painting
is indeed in the style of
van Leemputten, and
the frame appears to be
original and very much
like the frames we found
on other van Leempteen
images.
Now, what about the
value? Van Leemputten
tended to paint rather
small images. We found
examples as small as 6
{ by 9 { inches. But we
also found examples as
large as 29 by 40 inches.
Also, his detailed outdoor scenes seem to be
more valuable than his
interior barn scenes.
At worst, this painting
should be valued in the
$1,500 to $2,000 range,
but it may be worth
more in the $2,500 to
$3,500 range if it is
larger than we suppose.
There are several
things we would like
readers with questions
to remember. First,
we only answer in the
newspaper. Second,
we cannot and will not
answer any question
without clear in focus
photographs. And third,
please include as much
