NEW PLANS MADE IN IMMIGRATION Flood Will Be Diverted to Country. Many Small Farms Washintgon, March 14.?Plans to divert immigrants from the cities and industrial centers and to coordi nate agencies of the departments of interior, agriculture and labor to place the new comers on small farms were announced today by W. W. Husband, commissioner general of immigration. Mr. Husband, who succeeded Anthony J. Caminetti, was sworn in today. The new commissioner general made public a plan approved by Sec-1 retarv Davis which he declared would help solve the immigration problem and at the same time cor rect the economic situation arising from the flow of population to the i larger cities. "There is land enough in this| country for millions of small farms,' Commissioner Husband said. "Our plan is not to replace Amer ican farmers with foreigners but to create new farms and make new far mers, thereby increasing the re sources of the nation. Our immrigra tkm problem is largely a problem of distribution of the immigrants. "The majority of our Immigrants are peasants, and essentially farm ers. "Our plan is not to scatter these people out in sparsely settled sec tions and put them up against the problems that our pioneers went through. Neither do we plan to start forgeign settlements or communi ties in the strict sense of the term, but we plan to group them, some * ' " ? - __1 I what or tne European vuuage pun and offer them the advantages of ex pert agricultural and home demon stration instruction through the de-j / partment of agriculture and to aidj them an taking advantage of the farm loan act "By handling the immigration problem in this manner we will do away with the "red" danger.

Means, a brilliant and fasci nating teller of interesting stories, and we reproduce here this choice excerpt: "This section then belonged to North Carolina, and was in Mecklen burg County. For many years after the State lines were established it was known as the "New Acquisi tion." We find it constantly so call ed in the Documentary History of the Revolution. The curative quali ties of the snot (the quagmire which originally covered the site of Glenn Springs) were revealed by a commonplace accident. During the Revolutionary War, from the un avoidable filth of camp life, scab bles, or as it is vulgarly termed "the itch,' was the plague of the rank and file of the American Army. Af ter the war the irritating disease 'stuck closer than a brother?' and re turning soldiers infected their fami lies! A man living in the neighbor hood of the 'Sulphur Swamp,' with a round dozen 'quivers in his bow,' had every one broken out with scab bies. One day the cows did not come at milking time. One of the boys of this family, going out to look them up, found them in the quagmire.. In getting them out, he fell in, and came home covered up to the neck with-the black, ill-smelling mud.

"In the present money market the bond rate will have to be advanced to 5 per cent,' Commissioner Lobdell sai<jl. "The interest rate to the bor rowers will have to be correspond ingly advanced to 6 per cent."

NO INSURANCE ON HAPPINESS Lloyds Refuses to Take the Risk That Seems to Be Involved in In ternational Martiacss. About the only thing the Lloyds will not insure is happiness to follow an mtertiarienai marriage, wnne some American women who wedded repre sentatives of the nobility of the old world found happiness, a vastly larger number found failure to be their por tion. The honeymoon trail of these internationalists shows many ship wrecks.' As a rule the representative of the nobility seeks a mate among the wealthy who have unsatisfied so cial ambitions; Given these condi tions. the chance for presentation at court, the glamour of a title, the ex clusiveness of social relations with I the^titled great, cause many a young woman to forget prudence and have made many fathers and mothers will ing to approve a heavy bet on a slim chance. The long string of women who have come back across the Atlantic broken ! hearted and slim of purse since Nel lie Grant made her unhappy alliance has taught little wisdom to those who are courted by the titled but ofttimes penniless nobility.?Ohio State Jour nal. d.? f War Disability.

Historians of the Hawaiian islands assert that an Hawaiian monarchy I was the first government in the world! to put absolute prohibition into effect. Kamehameha the Great, first king of United Hawaii, in 1795, after having conquered all the other islands, issued 1 an edict imposing prohibition. Its ?en-| alties were drastic. An offender was stripped of his property, real and per sonal, and was driven from bis village clad only in a loin cloth. j In later years foreign nations forced liquor on tlie Hawaiians and its sale j was general In the islands until th< j jjreat war. wlien. with the opening ot the army training camps on the 18 I lands, prohibition went into effect.
