An Entertaining Lecture

"Wheels in the Head was the
subject of very entertaining lee
ture delivered by Paul Voelker at the
Congregational church Saturday even
ing. Mr.. VOelker is one of che lee
turers on the lyceum course put out
by the University of Wisconsin-Ex-
tension Division.
Mr.. Voelker maintained that ev-
eryone was a little queer" or to
use his words had wheels He dem
onstrated the truth of his assertion,
too, in a way that would be exceed
ingly difficult to controvert. However
he asserted it was all right to have
Wheels" the main thing was to have
them run straight and true and not
"wobbly" The speaker held the close
attention of his audience throughout,
but it is to be regretted that more
were not in attendance. One should
not allow little healthful cold
weather from enjoying such a treat
as Mr.. Voelkeregave his hearers.
Such enjoyment has more value
than mere passing entertainment.
It gives one something to think
about. And it doesn't hurt anyone to
think-once in awhile.

Place in Highest Glass To Varsity
Medical School

The Medical School of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin has been placed in
the highest class by the Council on
Medical Education of the American
Medical Association, according to the
report on the third classification of
the medical colleges of the United
States just issued The University
of Wisconsin ond the University of
Missouri are the only two medical
schools in the country that give a
5Vo-year medical course, covering
the first half of the work required
for the NJ. ID. degree, that are placed
in the highest class in this report
Upon completion of the first two
years at the University of Wisconsin
or the University of Missouri, stu
dents may enter the best medical
colleges of the country for their last
two years work, without losing time
or credit.
The rating of the schools is based
on the showing of graduates in ex-
aminations before state medical
boards, on the enforcement of sat
isfactory preliminary educational re-
uuirement, on the character of the
curriculum, laboratory facilities, fac
ulty and library, museums, etc.

Hi1hest and Lowest Points in the
World

The maximum difference in eleva-
tion of land in the United States is
14,777 feet, according to the United
States Geological Survey Mount
Whitney, the highest point, is 14,501
feet above sea level, and a point in
Death Valley is 276 feet above sea
level These two points, which are
both in California, are less than 80
miles apart. This difference is small,
however, as compared with the fig
ures for Asia Mount Everest rises
% ,002 feet above sea level whereas
the shores of the Dead Sea are 1920
feet below sea level a total differ
ence in land heights of 30,292 feet.
Mount Everest has never been
climbed.
The greatest ocean depth yet found
is 32,0SS feet, at point about 40
miles north of the island of Mindanao
in the PHILIPPINE Islands. The ocean
bottom at this point is therefore
more than II 1a miles below the sum-
nit of Mount Everest
| The difference in the land heights
in Europe is about 1858 feet

What Europe Thinks of Wisconsin
..-- University

THE University of wisconsin Is
considered in Europe as the most
representative among Western insti-
tutions of learning" writes DR.. Paul
S. Reinsch, last year Roosevelt Ex-
change professor at the University of
Berlin, in the February number of
the Wisconsin Alumni Magazine.
Until a few years ago it was only
the great institutions of the Eastern
states, especially Columbia and Har-
ward, that attracted attention in Eu
ropean countries" he continues.
The University of Wisconsin re-
sembles the German universities in
being a public institution supported
and supervised by the state. 1t is
the agency of the state in higher ed
ucation as we'll as in the application
of the sciences to human activity
The members of the staff are not
only teachers but investigators whose
aim is to add to the sum of reliable
human knowledge and to use that
knowledge in assisting every activ-
ity in the commonwealth, whether
educational, industrial, agricultural,
| commercial or governmental. The
University of Wisconsin is unlike
German universities in having grown
far beyond them in the comprehen-
siveness of it's activities. Whatever
can be dealt with, developed, or inn
proved through the use of scientific
instruments and methods, is includ-
ed in the work of the university,
whether it relates to agriculture, en-
gineering, commerce, or lawmaking.
Thus every useful activity Of the
state is sure of the services of the
university in rendering available
whatever guidance and assistance
science has to offer"

A WORTHY PROJECT
HERE is ONE EVERY CITIZEN
SHOULD BOOST
CHAUTAUQUA FOR LADYSMITH
Movement on Foot to Hold One Here
Next Summer

A movement is on foot to organ
ize a chautauqua for Ladysmith, to
start the coming summer and per-
haps be an annual event thereafter.
1t is proposed to use the fair grounds
as a site for the chautauqua, which
will probably be held in June, if the
project meets with sufficient encour-
agement to warrant the undertaking.
The chautauqua will last week
and an excellent variety of highclass
talent and attractions can be Sc
cured through the Extension Division
of the state university at much low
er cost than if secured from any ly-
ceum bureau, as the university will
not figure any profit in computing
the expense of such service.
The fair grounds would be an adj
mirable chautauqua site. Some sort
of an auditorium would need to be
provided and this building would
serve very nicely as an agricultural
hall for the fair The cost Of cree
tion could probably be so divided as
to effect a saving to both fair and
chautauqua Also, any money spent
i'll getting the grounds in shape for
the one would be help to the other.
A good chautauqua is a fine thing
for every town that has enterprise

bettermeEt of all who attend it and
doesn't leave a bad taste in the
mouth" such as follows the usual
carnival Tomahawk and Chetek, both
smaller than Ladysmith, have sue
cessful chaut3uquas. There is no reas-
on why it cannot be made a success
here.

katzenj TANNERS Get Theirs

What happened to The Katzenjam-
mer Kids basketball team Monday
night reminds one Of what invar-
iabiy happens to their ilustrious pro-
totypes of the funny papers in the
closing scene. 1t was every bit as
sad, too.
The local team fought hard and
gamely, but they were simply out
classed so far in every particular that
their opponents, the Bushey Business
College team, from Appleton, had a
"walkaway." The game was clean,
few fouls being called. The final
score was "A to 26.
A fair-sized crowd was in attend
ance and the spectators were we'll
satisfied They got the worth Of their
money in the exhibition of the game
as played by the boys from Appleton,
who are doubtless the fastest quin-
tet that has ever played in hits city,
tet that has ever played in this city.
This team has lost but one game out
of twenty-five played this season.
The teams lined up as follows:
Bushey s-Loose and Johnson, for
wards; Peterson; center; Meyer and
Huffcut, guards.
K. K.s-LueIl and McDermott,
forwards; Klouda, center; Sergeant
and Hutchinson, guards.

New England appears to be con
valescing from the agricultural con-
ditions which eliminated in it's
abandoned farm" period. There is
movement of agricultural revival.
Probably at the root of it is the
nationwide relative demand for farm
products, running ahead of the sup
ply, and the consequent soaring
prices, which we all realize through
the high cost of living" problem.
If there is anything in the "com-
pensative" or reciprocal operation
of the law of supply and demand that
problem should in time solve itself
automatically; the rising relative de-
mand for and price of farm produce
should automatically impel back
to the farm" movement, and the bal
ance will in time be redressed
The movement is already setting
in The increased profitablenses Of
farming and the growing realization
of the immense possibilities of in
tensive and scientific farming, are
tempting young men of enterprise
back to the land
The movement is marked in New
England. That section of "aban-
doned farms" is becoming one of the
resumed farms. The whole tendency
is perhaps the most hopeful sign of
the times. country with rel
atively large and flourishing agricul-
tural population is sound at the core
economically, socially, physically
politically.
This landward movement, we say,
is natural, spontaneous, the resultant
of elemental economic forces.
But there is such thing as accel-
Grating it. 1t is of vital benefit to
the nation, and most advantageous
locally to every separate common
wealth and community that falls di-
rectly within it's scope of operation.
1t behooves every state and section
with tillable unused land available
for this reawakened and improved
agriculture, to bestir itself intelli-
gently and Systematically to take ad
vantage of this tendency, and to SOW
seeds of promOtive effort that will
bring a rich harvest of development
in the future
And that brings us to the Wiscon-
sin aspect of this back to the land"
economic tendency.
Wisconsin, an easily accessible, in
dustrially developed state, still has
an abundance of good virgin land
holding out the hand of hope and
golden opportunity to the homeseek
er of the right sort. WiscOnsin's (as
We honestly believe) really superior
advantages in that kind should be set
before the American public, and kept
in the bright light of intelligently
calculated publicity, in order that
our state may get its due share OF
the benefit sure to accrue to every
enterprising, naturally favored com
munity with good land awaiting de-
veIopment from the revival which is
economically bound to bring American
agriculture to it's own again within
the next ten years.
This state must put its goods III
the show window, if it hopes to get
it's share of trade. And we are glad
to say that the Wisconsin Advance
ment association is doing good work
in that line under the tireless and
aggressive management of A. d.
Campbell, whose press leaflets are
packed with just the right kind OF
information. Keep it up for old Wis
consin, Mr. Campbell, and more pow
er to your militant elbow.-Mi.wau-
