prise. The sale was conducted through
the agency of Messrs. Chew & Norris.
What NAV be one of the largest deals
(sinple handed) for a Jefferson county
man for some years, has just been COM
p,eted by or townsman Mr.. Shirley
Smith. who has worked hard and faith
fully and deserves great credit, and we
congratulate him. The Advocate says:
Our friend Mr.. ]. Shirley Smith
who has been conducting negotiations
leading to the development OF valua-
Bile granite deposits owned by MN
south of Roanoke on the Winston
Salem Division of the Norfolk and
Western Railway, has contracted with
the Norfolk & Western Company 10
furnish them with 100000 tons OF
crushed granite for ballasting. Inc
contract covers a period of three
years, and the price obtained Tor the
material will amount to more than a
quarter million dollars. A survey has
already been made for railroad side
tracks, and work will begin at once.
Mr.. Smith has also associated himself
with Altoona, Pa, capitalists VINO
have contracted to quarry granite on
his property for building purposes.
The quality of the granite, and the
polish of which it is susceptible make
these deposits desirable property.
Besides this great contract for ballast
there will be thousands of tons of the
fines, building granite gotten out at the
same time.

WOMEN STAND HIGHEST.
Examination at University Show That
Women are Better Students.

That the women students at the
University of Wisconsin receive high
er grades than the men, is an interest
ing fact brought to light by some sta
tistics of the institution.
Of the 400 first year men examined
during the last school year, 147a or 81
per cent, received conditions OF fail
ures. OF 100 first year women ex-
amined at the same time, 35, or FL per
cent had conditions or failures.
When 396 first year men were ex-
amined the previous year, 119, or 80
per cent failed or were conditioned;
while of 214 first year women examin
ed at the same time only SO, or IL per
cent, were below the fatal mark.
That the number of conditions and
failures among both men and women
students is increasing is also shown by
these figures, for of the 610 men and
women examined in 1910, rs per cent
failed or were conditioned; while of
500 examined the following year, S11a
per cent received failures or conditions.
Other figures compiled show that
over half of the freshmen men have to
be warned because their grades are al
most to the icon" mark, while one
third of the freshmen women must be
warned.
The chief reason for this startling
proportion of low grades among first
year students is said to be poor prep
aration in the high schools. Another
element that enters, is the fact that an
increasing number of both men and
women are earning all or a part Of
their expenses and this outside work
interferes with their university studies.

(From Tuesdays Daily

The ninth annual meeting and re-
union Of the Physicians of the Second
District Medical Society of Wisconsin
was held in Kenosha today, and more
chan a hundred prominent men of the
profession from different parts of the
district came to Kenosha to attend the
sessions, which were held at the Pen
meyer Sanitarium. In addition to the
physicians of the Wisconsin District a
Sarge number of the members of the
Lake county society were in attendance.
The guest of honor at the meeting
was Dr. John B. Murphy of Chicago,
recognized as one Of the greatest surg
cons of the world. DR.. Murphy has just
returned from long European trip
and he spoke to the physicians of some
of the recent developments in the sur
gical branch of the profession.
The officials of the local society
were aided in entertaining the visitors
by Doctors Adams and Pennoyer of
the sanitarium.
The business session was held at
eleven O'Clock this morning and DR..
William M. Farr, president of the dis
trict organization presided. Following
the business meeting the address of
DR.. Murphy entertained the physicians
until one o'clock, when the annual din

at the Sanitarium. Covers were laid
for more than hundred and among

University to Offer instruction That
Will Shorten Course in Pharmacy.
Teaching ambitions young men parts
of the drug business is the latest I'M
dertaking of the extended division of
the University of Wisconsin. A full
course in pharmacy is not offered, but
sufficient subjects are offered to en-
able the student to complete regular
pharmacy course in much less time
than he otherwise could.
AS all recognized schools of phar
macy demand year of high school
work as an entrance requirement. the
extension division is also providing
instruction for those whose education
is not sufficient to enable them to en-
ter recognized school. A student
who applies himself will be able to
enter any school of pharmacy after
finishing the preliminary course of
stIdy given by the university.
AS many graduate pharmacists can
not afford to take extra courses at some
school every few years to keep up with
the advances of their profession the
University has also arranged graduate
courses in pharmacy, which may be
taken by druggists without coming to
the university. In this way the am
bilious pharmacist can keep up-to-date
in his field and the same time carry on
his regular business.

subject "The Doctor s Duty to the
Public ;. 1t was the first appearance
of DR.. McShane since he took up his
work in Kenosha and the members of
the profession were greatly pleased
with the manner in which he presented

Following the formal toasts there were
informal responses by leading officials
and members of the association and
an informal smoker followed.
The state president of the Wisconsin
Medical Association, DR.. A. ]. Patek
and the secretary of the American
Medical Association, DR.. A. R. Craig,

talked shop in the informal program
were DR.. G. S. Sheldon, editor of the
state medical journal and DR.. A. W.

showed that the second district is one
of the most active organizations con-
nected with the Wisconsin society.

Interstate Commerce Commission Elk
pected to Change Express Rates.

The investigation of the express
business by the interstate commerce
commission has resulted in decisions
that viii affect transportion rates
throughout the country, and is likely
to be most far-reaching in its results.
The principal changes win be a gen
eral reduction in rates thar will aver
age about fifteen per cent and that
will be even greater ON small parcels
for the shorter hauls; a mandatory
system of labels which win do away
with double collections; and the direct
routing of shipments, through inter
company adjustments, which will in

points.
To simplify the rate system-for at
present there are more than six hundred
million rates in effect among the
thirty-fve thousand express Offices
the country will be divided into blocks
about fifty miles square. Rates will
be made between blocks. All cities
and towns in the same block will have
the same rate.

No definite action looking to the In

lights in the down town business sec
tion of the city has as yet been taken
by the business men, but it is declared
that majority of them are in favor
of the improvement. The change is
one that will vastly improve the ap-
pearance of the business section of the
city and it is certain that the city
authorities will be ready to cooperate
with the property owners in making it.
There is practically no additional ex-
pense to the city involved in the
change after the new system is once
installed and most of the additional
expense VIII be borne by the business
