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

and offer them the advantages of ex
pert agricultural and home demon
stration instruction through the de-j

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. The!
farm, with the advantages we can
offer, will be the best sort of an Am
ericanization school."

issue of farm loan bonds to the

GLEN SPRINGS IN HISTORY
In his account of Spartanburg pub

Charleston in 1890 by "Ed" McKis
sick, he quoted from a history of
Glenn Springs written by Mrs. Ce
lina E. 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. It
was a lucky souse, for in a few days
he found himself entirely well of

the federal farm loan act would be
made as soon as possible but he in
timated that it woud be at least 30
days before the 1 funds would be
available for actual loaning.
"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."
"The farm loan board is hopeful
that the market may absorb farm
bonds equal to the borrowing de
mands of the farmers of the coun
try but no one can perdict with
safety, the results of a financial
operation of this magnitude.

NO INSURANCE ON HAPPINESS

About the only thing the Lloyds will

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.

medical science with having accom

sions grunted down to September 1,
1918. 58 per cent were on account of

plaints were responsible for 11.2 pet

heart disease for 9.9 per cent. Onl.v

Hawaii Led in Prohibition.
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.
