 The university of Wisconsin IS full of quiet. light-haired Wiscon- sin boys who play football like demons and row just fast enough to lose gloriously at Poughkeepsle. It also is luxuriantly supplied with beautiful Wisconsin girls who are treated with great kindness by the university men, in marked con trast to the policy at Cornell and Michigan. Senator LaFollette IS Wisconsin's most successful grad uate, but Pat O'Dea, who once kicked a football a mile or more, is remembered with the deepest af- lection by the student body.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN
By George Fitch

Wisconsin is the most progress sive American university. It is so progressive that the last election in Wisconsin was fought on the prop osition to tie the university down until the state can catch up.
 The university is located in the state capital Critics reverse this and say the state capital is located in the university. At any rate, no one who goes to Madison stops to look at the capitol until 'he has finished looking at the university. It swarms over a hill above Lake Mendota and is one of the richest schools in the country, in view if not in endowment. It has a state historical library building as big as a government palace, a gymnasium which can house regiment, and many other huge and palatial storehouses of learning.
 Wisconsin not only educates it's $500 students at the university. but it goes out to the corners of the state and lets no ignorant man es- cape. The Wisconsin man who can not find anyone to do the chores in his absence can attend the uni versity by mail. and no farmer would presume to change the feed of his Speckled pigs until he had written the dean of agriculture about it. The university is a ware house of information for the entire state, and does everything from ib- creasing butter fat for dairymen to revising bills for ambitious legis- lators.
 All of this costs the state of Wisconsin upward of $3,OO0, 900 a year The university gets more money than any other American institution with the exception of Columbia. It exercises more influ- ence over its state than any other

TELLING STORIES
By George Fitch

Telling stories is talent which has never yet been fostered or i'm proyed by college or conservatory course.
 And yet telling stories is ,nore valuable accomplishment than the ability to quote Latin or to make a piano shriek for mercy under a flank assault.
 A man who is so full of Latin that it drips from him in ordinary conversation may be stepped on by the rude world in it's hurry. But the man who says, That it re- minds me of a story" is always ac- corded the most polite attention.
 Armed with a sample case, a winning smile and nine stories which are not old enough to need razor, an American can travel from Maine to California selling goods with both hands and making friends, who will leave customer paving over the goods for himself while the crop of stories is being harvested.
 One does not need to be an in ventor to be good story teller. Good memory is sufficient. Many man who can write articles which will hold the breathless reader until the furnace fire goes out and he freezes in his chair, can't tell pleasant tale with two paragraphs and a point without getting it snarled up like ball of yarn. On the other hand, aman who has to borrow dictionary to tell how to spell two cylinder word can tell stories from early morning until train time without repeating a story, avoiding a grammatical mis- take or failing to get whoop of glee for each tale.
 Nobody writes stories anyway. They grow. It is believed that Cain told couple on his wanderings and that all the rest descended from these. This is why some travellers from foreign lands come home with a bale of photographs and souven- irs while others come home with a stock of stories never uncorked be- fore in the home town and get in vited out to dinner IFS nights in succession.
 More quarrels have been headed off by a good story than by The Hague tribunal and many a politi- cal candidate who knows enough statesmanship to keep talking for four hours at stretch has been inferred in oblivion by an oppo- nent who bobbed up afterward long enough to tell story and ask for the loan of few votes. Perhaps this is the reason why we are usually in the state of pro found dissatisfaction with the men whom we elect.
