Real deserted Village. ]"

A deserted village which contains
only one single soul, woman, is that
of Woolstein. a hamlet near Cassel,
in Prussia. 1t has been abandoned
by it's inhabitants on the ground that
life there is hopeless. The soil is ster-
lie, and the authorities refused to link
the village to the outer world by rail.
About a hundred of the inhabitants
left in a body for America few
weeks ago, and since then those who
were left behind have been moving
daily to neighboring villages and
towns. The village, school was closed
not many days ago because there were
no more pupils, and on the following
Sunday service was held for the last
time in the village church. The houses
are empty, and the village looks as
if it had been swept by the plague.
Only one inhabitant remains, Frau
Hoeft, a shepherdess, who is eighty
years old, and declares that she Will
die in the village where she was
born

HISTORIANS AND THEIR WORK
American Authors Occupy Foremost
Places in the Ranks of Those
Whom the World Honors.

Views of what is the distinctive his
torical faculty, whether breadth of vi
sion, power or organization, pholO-
sophical insight, or narrative talent,
must vary as widely as historical
styles and aims; but upon one require
ment, skill and patience in research
all agree. Even the impressionistic
author Of the French Revolution" had
to bewail in his Frederick the Great"
''the mountains of dust and ashes to
be tumbled down to disengage the
truly memorable" 1t is in this light
that one notes with especial pleasure
the remarks Of James Ford Rhodes
about the preeminent advantages Of
America in her historical repositories
Even foreign detractors, he told the
American Antiquarian society, must
admire the easy and methodical ar
rangement of our historical materials,
the accessibility of our libraries, and
the various helps" connected with
them; particularly since their own
scholars still had ito pore over books
without indexes, and delve among
manuscripts in dusty archives" The
justice of his statement needs no com
ment. A remarkable historical zeal
has long been manifested in America.
Every state and nearly every large
city has it's historical library; col
leges and universities are jealous Of
their collections; the yeriest hamlets,
in our older localities, have their his
torical and genealogical societies; and
private accumulations are innumer-
able-all freely at the service of the
investigator. The organization before
which Mr.. Rhodes spoke has itself
closed a century in gathering a spe-
cialized accumulation of almost unique
fullness. Only the federal govern
ment may be accused. Of tagging be-

the coast makes a sharp right-angled
bend, with Cape Lookout at the apex.
From the end of the cape, a narrow
line of shoals, of coral formation, ex-
tends much farther out. The cape, and
it's submerged continuation forms a
wall, as it were, reaching seward Is
miles or more. Cape Lookout is so
shaped as to embrace a bay, quiet
and beautiful sheet of water, called
Lookout Blight" The coast confgura-
ton thus forms a remarkable natural

Fear Epidemic in Wisconsin.

Unless more faithful observance
of quarantine laws is effected,
the state of Wisconsin will expert
ence many epidemics of smallpox this
winter. in the opinion of the state
board of health.
Over 1000 cases have been report
ed this year, and with the coming of
colder weather when houses are closed
to the outside air and when bathing
is less frequent, the disease will
spread.
AS a result of a wrong diagnosis by
a physician, it is said that between so
and SO cases are under treatment at
Mount Horeb, Dane county. Centers

Easy Credit for Farmers.


From the point of view of the
farmers and settlehs in Wiscon'
sin who need more ready money or
more appropriate terms, the land
mortgage association act passed by the
last legislature is one of the most inn
portant bits of legislation written into
the statute books, say members OF the
state board of public affairs.
While congress and he legislatures
of other states were debating the
problem of providing appropriate cred
it facilities for the farmer and set
tier and stopped there, Wisconsin act
ually passed the necessary law.
Generally speaking, the purpose Of
this law is to make land in Wisconsin
a more fluid security This the act
proposes to accomplish by bond is
sues, the bonds to be secured by first
mortgage on real estate These bonds
will be negotiable and can be passed
from hand to had as readily as actual
money.
The association 20 be formed under
this act will be similar to the joint
stock mortgage banks of Germany, Of
which there were 81, with outstand.
ing loans aggregating two and one
quarter billion dollars in 1911.
To operate under the Wisconsin act
Is or more persons must incorporate
with capital stock of not less than
$4,000 The funds of the association
are loaned on first mortgage securi~
ties, and the association may deposit
the securities with the state treasurer,
and then issue negotiable bonds equal
in amount to the securities depos-
tied
The act makes every provision for
safeguarding the purchasers of these
bonds. The associations formed I'M
der the act and their operations are
completely under the control and SUI
pervision of the state commissioner
of banking They are to be examined
by him periodically, and generally are
subject to as close or even closer SUI
pervision and scrutiny than are state
banks. The law provides that at no
time shall the amount of bonds issued
exceed the amount of mortgages on
der osit with the state treasurer.

BARRIER To HALT
NEEVIL PEST
PLANNED
Senator Smith of South Carolina
Sponsor for Scheme to Save
Southeast Millions.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Plans for
barring the boil weevil from Georgia,
most of Alabama, Florida. South Car
DINA and North Carolina and saving
the cotton growers millions of dollars
a year are being drafted by Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, with the
tentative approval of Secretary of
Agriculture Houston.
The weevil has already swept over
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Ar
kansas, and is moving eastward into
Alabama.
Senator Smiths plan is for the Fed
eral Government, with State cooper
alton, to prohibit the growing of cot
ton in a belt which would separate
the Atlantic Coast States from the
Southwestern States.
AS the boil weevil migrates only
