Wisconsin Greatest State.

II. A. Moehlenpah, Clinton, former
ers association and one Of the
most prominent bankers of the state,
had a message in his address before
the convention Of the local group OF
the association here that will not soon
be forgotten by the men who heard it.
Mr.. Moehlenpah's subject was pro
grained as THE Bankers Relation to
the Farmer" but early in his address
he forgot his speech to deliver ring
ing testimonial to the greatness OF
the state of Wisconsin, to the part the
university is playing in its develop
ment, and to nonpolitical patriotism.
Il have never appreciated my own
state as much as | do today" said Mr..
Mcehle1pah. 'I have never had the
broad viewpoint in regard to what
Wisconsin is doing to develop its COM
mercial resources, its agricultural po-
tentialities, and it's young manhood
that now feel. And l got that ap-
probation by going outside the state
for it. | have recently returned from
trip through the states of Connecti-
cut, Massachusetts and the other
states of New England. There is
where | learned of Wisconsin.
Il talked to the farmers. l talked
to the bankers. talked to everybody
that l could find. And on every side
this was the concluding sentiment:
You have the greatest state in the
Union. You are doing real things in
Wisconsin. Your state university is
doing for your people what we wish
that we could do here. Your progress
sivism is the kind that accomplished
They told me of what the work of
Professor Babcock, Dean Henry, Dean
Russell and other men connected with
the state university were doing that
was having influence even through
the hard-shell conservatism OF New
England
Il saw the best farms in New Eng
land. The land is worth from 5000 to
1000 an acre. And every one of those
farmers has to use commercial fer
tilizer. And the possibilities Of Wis
consin, with the markets Of the world
already open to her and with 35 years
of the dairy cow back of her black
clay pastures and university that
is helping our farmers to produce
crops and products that surpass those
Of any other state, came to me as it
never has before. With the natural
resources we are endowed with and
the start that true progressivism has
given US, we had priceless heritage.
The influence that works to even cur
tail the work of our university will
have a stain on it's conscience and
record that will never wash out.
Il went to Washington. | was in
conference with number of the Off
cial family. And it was with pride
that l found out that the bankers of
Wisconsin had worked out the only
cohesive scheme for the aid Of its
farmers by our mortgage scheme that
has been adopted by every state in the
Union.'

H r. Trumbower, assistant profes
sor Of political economy at the univer-
sity, has been named member of the
state railroad commission to succeed
Halford Erickson, resigned.
The certain appointment of Profes-
sor Trumbower was anticipated by
many persons. He was in conference

mist and a statistician of ability.
His connection with the faculty OF
the university here dates back to 1910
and during the intervening six years
he has won distinction as a teacher of

ARLlE MUCKS TO SPEAK
of the Graduating Class at the
University-Other Features
i'm Sight.

Madison.-Outdoor music and dane
ing will enliven the University of Wis
consin commencement exercises this
year. Instead of having class day
ceremonies, ivy planting and the pipe
of peace assemblies on different days,
the exercises will be combined, accord
ing to the program drawn up by Presl-
dent Crawford Wheeler of Eau Claire.
On the Monday preceding the COM
mencement itself, which takes place
on Wednesday, June Il, the class OF
1916 will assemble on the upper cam
pus of the university just below the
statue Of Abraham Lincoln, and the
combined commencement program
will take place, beginning in the morn
ing with the farewell and welcome adj
dresses and the planting of the ivy by
Verne Bulls of Eau Claire.
Thus the class day and the ivy ex-
exercises will both be held Monday
morning, and there will be but two as
semblies Of the class, one in the morn
ing for the following program, and
one in the evening for the pipe Of
peace ceremony:

novel and spectacular exercise of the

Herman Zischke, who will receive 1t
for the JUNIOR class.
A new feature, however, that is new
to Wisconsin commencement exer-
cises, will be an Indian dance around
the camp fire. The dance will be done
by goods who have been taking physi-
cal education, and will represent a
typical Indian pipe of peace ceremony.
1t will be held upon the ground of one
of the Indian skirmishes in the Black
hawk war, which is marked by a
tablet donated by a former gradual
ing class.

Britons Use Million
Shells Each Day

British Headquarters in France
(Via London), July 1.-The fourth
day OF the British bombardment Of
the German position sees no lessening
OF the volume Of fire, which continues
along the whole line without cessa-
ton day and night cutting barbed
wire entanglements, demolishing first
and second lines Of German trenches
and raining curtains Of fire on the
roads and communicating trenches,
Considerably more than a million Of
shells a day are being expended, and
there seems to be no limit to the,sup-
ply OF them. British infantry actions
have been limited thus far to raids
under cover Of artillery and trench
mortar fire. The new type Of British
mortar is capable of such rapid fire
that it can place six shots in the air
at once, which have proved highly
serviceable, both in cutting of wire
and the smashing Of trenches.
Last night the sky from twenty to
thirty miles to the rear toward the
east was brilliant, as If with the glare
OF the aurora borealis, from dusk to
dawn. This was the only illumina-
ton along the roads for the movement
OF troops and automobiles, none OF
which carried lights.
