nouncement Of the gift has been made
by Dean James Alton James Of the
university's history department, desig-
mated by the donor as the first profess
sor to hold the new chair.
The argument was between Mr.. Ma
son and a friend, who contended thai
Benjamin Franklin was great scien-
list, the banker maintaining that he
was not. Later Mr.. Mason made a
study Of Franklin's life and claims TO
have assembled the largest private coli
lection of Franklin relics in the world.

woMAN's EXCHANGE OPENING.
Formal Opening at Woman's Club
Takes Form of Reception.

RACES FOTn OL AteCcpGLOhs
Scores Of Kenosha women we're en-
tertained Tuesday afternoon at the
Woman's club home, at the formal OPP
ening of the Woman's Club Exchange.
The informality of spirit, and the GER
ial atmosphere of the afternoon gave
the occasion the nature Of a recep-
tion and tea party.
The first floor Of the home was dec
Grated with chrysanthemums from
Dunmovin, and palms. Mrs. Adams
and Mrs. Buckmaster poured, and light
refreshments were served to all who
attended. The second floor was con-
verified into a shop, at which every
thing conceivable was sold. The cam
dy counter was most popular, and ev-
cry room Of the second floor contain

RACINE SEEKS
GAS RATE CUT
Claim Price Paid is Not in
Keeping With Produc-
ton Cost.
KENOSHA MAY FOLLOW
City of Kenosha Expected to
Join with Racine in Pushing
Claim Before Commission.

There was filed with the Wisconsin
Railroad commission late Tuesday by
City Attorney Gittins of Racine, a
petition asking that reduction in
the gas rate for that city be ordered.
AS Kenosha is served by the same
company-the Wisconsin Gas and Elec-
trio company--it is anticipated that
there will be much interest in the
outcome of the Racine petition shown
by Kenosha and that it is not i'm
probable that Kenosha will join in
asking cut in the gas rate.
The last order of the kind issued
by the commission was dated January
81; 1922, and provided for a reduction
of 10 cents per thousand cubic feet.
A further voluntary decrease of 10
cents per thousand cubic feet was
made by the company in letter to the
commission on August is, 1928, the
new rate going into effect September /.
The later reduction had to do with
the first four steps in the schedule of
rates, which gave the small consumers
cheaper gas. There was an additional
decrease of FIVE cents per thousand
cubic feet to the users who came under
the fifth step in the schedule.
Rate Still Too High Claim.
1t has been contended by city of
ficials for some months that the new
rate fixed by the company was not in
keeping with reduction in costs of
material and labor, and especially of
coal which is, the-chief item Of cost in
the production of gas. That feeling
resulted in the adoption of a resolu-
tion made some weeks ago authorizing
and ordering the city attorney to take
the matter of rates to the state COM
mission for a survey and decision.
That action was taken by Mr.. Git
tins today.
The application and contention of
the city attorney is based on informa-
tion and belief and sets forth the
claim that there has been a voluntary
reduction on the part of the company,
but that the reduction is not common
surate with the increased earnings of
the company. Other reasons brought
out in the application are the decrease
in the cost of materials that enter the
manufacture of gas, including labor.
Business Volume Increased.
It is the claim of the city that there
has been a material increase in the
volume Of business done by the com
pany since the order reducing rates
in January 1922, resulting in a still
further profit to the company.
1t is expected that the city Of Keno
sha will take the matter of rates for
this city to the commission, now that
the Racine application has been sent
to the state body. Kenosha has in
sisted at all times that it is entitled
to rate reductions when reduction
is granted to the city of Racine and
like action is therefore expected at
this time.

sire to explore jungle country is one
cause of the separation. 81

BIT Of VERSE
TOMORROW.

(By G. E. Boyer.)
Oh, for a look at tomorrow,
With its million and one things to
With its sighs and it's joys,
With its puppets and toys
That are really me and you.
Now for a look at tomorrow.
And the works of a new day to
see
So that we might prepare
For the morrow's care
That's aimed at you and me.
But, then, why look at tomorrow,
When much must be done today?
When tasks still remain
Which we must disdain,
But yet which really pay.
So close up that book of tomorrow
And give me just today
For the tasks to be done,
The griefs and the fun,
Are all a part of the play.

Sanity, Soundness and Fundamental Nature OF
Cooperative Marketing


II seems to me that the recent council of co-operatiNes at Wash
ington undoubtedly accomplished a great deal both for the cooperative
marketing movement itself and from the standpoint of bringing to the
attention of official Washington the entire sanity soundness and funda-
mental nature of the movement.
It demonstrated the clarity of mind, the vision and the devotion of
big men from every part of the country to the cause Of cooperation
after having been convinced by intelligent and careful consideration that
the farmer himself, under efficient leadership, can by cooperation solve
most of his economic problems.
It showed the faith of these men in the fundamental institutions of
America and their intention to place the farmer, through proper cooper
alive organization, in position to fit in with the established business
groups and to cooperate with them as well as each other. 1t demon
srated that the businesslke farmers and their leaders ar asking not
subsidies and special favors, but simply that agricultural producers as
business men and the business organizations of agricultural producers be
accorded the same business standing and the same basis of financing as
other forms Of business. And this basis is turnover.

Large Groups of Foreign-Speaking Peoples
Whose Assimilation Is Slow


The most stubborn and critical situation confronting American
critics is the presence of large and congested groups of foreignspeaking
peoples whose assimilation has been slow. Immigrants have not been
evenly distributed through our country. Seyenty-two per cent are in our
cities. Some cities are almost soidly foreign speaking and mere rem
nants of the normal population are left.
In others great colonies have been developed, known as Little Italics
and Little Poands. where the ideals and standards of the Old World are
prevalent.
These people are crowding into our schools, colleges and universities
in great numbers. They are in every field of commercial and professional
life. They constitute the great body of American tolers They are to
make up in a very large way our citizenship, yet they are outside the pale
and outside the influence of the institution that has meant most to our
country, namely, the Christian church.
White surprisingly large per cent of these people is not Protestant, a
large per cent is not Catholic and not Jewish. They have broken with
every faith.

education ws that there existed such a thing is general discipline, general
knowledge, and general capacity, all of which should be developed and
made the most of by cooperation between the home and the school, As a
result of a few hopeessy superficial and irrelevant experiments 1t was
one day announced from various psychological laboratories that there
was no such thing as general discipline and general capacity, but that Ill
di@iplines we're particular and that all capacities were specific. The
arrant nonsense of this and the flat contradiction gwen to it by human
observation and human experience went for nothing, and this new notion
rapidly spread abroad among the homes and schools of the United States
both to the undoing of the effectiveness of our American education and
to the spread of a spirit which makes for lawlessness.
1t would surprise a great many excellent persons to be told that the
schools upon whose maintenance they are pouring out almost unlimited
sums raised by public tax, were, quite unconsciousy, doing all that they
reasonably could to implant a spirit of lawlessness III those who come
under their influence. and vet that is the sober truth. If a youth be taught
at home or in school that there are no fundamental underlying prln-
ciples, but that the world is his oyster, to be consumed at such time and
in such fashion as he may see fit, or that it is TO be made over to his hearts
desire, II need not wonder when a spirit of lawlessnes and restlessness
under order and constraint finds expression in his life.
