Misses Wisham and Baskin have both
accomplished a great work here with
their pupils during the season.
At 10:45 a. m, Sunday the annual
baccalaureate sermon was preached
at the Methodist church by DR.. John
M. Grove, of Pulaski, Va. AccOmpa-
nying the sermon was a good musical
program, which was well carried out.
DR.. Grove is a profound thinker, a
philosophical, logical speaker. He
tok as the basis of his theme What
Lack l Yet?", and laid down his lines
along the line of character-building.
His philosophical reasoning along the
line that life is no stronger than it's
weakest point, was indeed timely.
His beautiful tribute to mother was
one of the strong points of his dis
course A large crowd was present
and DR.. Grove commanded rapt at
tention during the entire time. More
than once his discourse was so ap-
pealing as to appeal to the inward
emotions of heart and soul. On the
whole it was one of the strongest dis
course ever delivered here, and only
equaled by Dr. Wilkerson.
Following is partial list OF the
commencement guests:

done that it has been since Miss
King occupied the chair of expression,
and we regret that we can not make
public mention of all the different
parts of it. Miss Mary Bruce Redd,
in welcoming the New Minister'S
Wife," in her work goes above the
character of an amateur, and her
work was indeed realistic. Miss Mar
garet Peterson, in storytelling with
child-like simplicity in "Helen's Ba-
bies," made one fancy that they
could see the child as she told the
story. Miss Elizabeth Isham, in "The
Winning of Katherine" made one for

from the stage, as she carried you
through the various stages of her
story. The musical program of the
evening was equally as good, and the
solo of Miss Mildred Bruce, who was
quite a favorite in song here, capti-
waited all present, and at the end of
the entertainment, after numerous
requests she consented to sing the
solo again, which was who Knows ?"

Increase Shown in Report.

Building and loan associations in
Wisconsin attained a greater growth
in 1913 than in any previous year
since their establishment, according to
the annual report submitted to Gov
erncr McGovern by Banking CCmmis-
sioner Kuolt
Six new associations were char
tered and two authorized late in 1912,
began business in 1913 The increase
in the assets of the associations in
creased 20 per cent as compared with
an increase of 1873 per cent. in 1912.
At the close of the year 65 associa-
lions were operating under the direc-
ton of the banking department. No
foreign associations are licensed to
do business in The state.
Total assets of the association on
December 81, 1898, was SO, 1920.
as compared with $8,707, 795.45. De-
cember 81, 1912. The number of mem
bers on December 81, 1913, was 81
10, as compared with 1892 the pre-
vious year. There were 229, 800 shares
in force at the beginning of the pres
ent year and the number of shares of
paid-up stock shows an increase for
the year of 2,174, the total being 49,
103.
The gross earnings of the associa-
tons for the year, derived from loans,

profits, were 1892, 720O9, while the
gross expenses were $109, 93419. The
increase in the combined contingent

Kuolt. ito be able to report a more
general observance of the provision in
the law for the establishment and
maintenance Of a contingent or re-
serve fund. Previous to 1913 num-
Der of associations were not comply
ing with the law, requiring them to
set aside at least five per cent. Of tive
profits at each dividend period as a
permanent fund which might be drawn
upon in case of losses. During 1913
only few associations failed to COM
ply with my recommendation in last
years report as to the building up of
such a fund"

Farmers, Wives Convene.

Five hundred farmers wives of west
ern Wisconsin at the Western Wiscon-
sin Homemakers association, held at
the county farm school in La Crosse
turned their attention to study OF
plans to beat the milliner and thus re-
duce the high cost of living.
The principal address was made by
Miss c. Schmit, hat expert of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who told the
farmers wives that new hats were a
delusion and that little ingenuity and
knowledge would enabel them each
year to make their old bonnets look
like new.
Many practical demonstrations were
given with the result that the clubs for
the making of hats are to be started in
school districts about the county.

Women at U. of w. Working Own Way

Women at U. of w. Working Own Way
That the spirit of womankind is
not dead and that it is inculcated in
Wisconsin women is shown by the
fact that there are rs women stu
dents working their way through col
lege, an increase of 20 over last year.
Physically, less equal to the strain,
but mentally eager and ambitious,
they endure long hours of study and
work, overcome hardship and conquer
obstacles in order that they may an
swer the universal call for the new
woman.
Out of the rs women registered,
81 are definitely employed. Twenty
four of these are working on the Uni
versity commons; ten are doing house
work, nine clerical work, and the rest
are doing miscellaneous work, such
as canvassing, tutoring, reading, teach
ing and sewing.
The grades of many of these girls
are above the majority of the grades
of the girls in the leisure class, and
out of the whole number only two
have been put on probation.
AS a general rule, a girl spends
more time on her university work
than on her outside work Without
doing so she could not hope to keep
UP to the standard set for her." said
Miss Alvord, mistress at CLAIBORNE
hall and vocational adviser. There
fore it is unwise for any girl to come
here any try to keep up with her
class unless she has at least 500
which she can bank and use for emer-
gencies. With this she can get along
comfortably if she is from Wisconsin.
Girls outside the state should have
the cost of their tuition besides the
800 nest-egg."
