This and That

Attorney William w. Wight OF Mil
waukee has sent the cream Of his IL
brary to Louvain in order TO. do what
he can to assist in replacing the store
house of learning destroyed by the
ruthless Germans in 1914. For years
and years Mr.. Wight made specially
of collecting books bearing on the
life Of Louis XVII, the Dauphin of
France. He was the son OF Louis
XVI, king Of France, and Of Marie
Antoinette of Austria, his queen. The
child was born at Versailles, March
81, 1885, and in 1889, by the death of
his elder brother became the Dau-
phin of France. He was prisoner
with his parents in the Temple tower
and history says he died there in
1885.
* - s.
In later years rumors became cur
rent the dauphin was not dead but
had been spirited away. Twenty-three
impostors appeared in various parts
Of the world, one of which was Flea
gar Williams of Green Bay, Wis. The
literature on the subject was Sc vol
luminous that Mr.. Wight collected
nearly 500 titles, not all books, but
many of them interesting volumes.
The library made a rich storehouse
Of history and required many years
to bring together, a majority OF the
works being in the French language.
Not long ago no less than twenty
nine nations were represented at a
meeting at Paris, looking toward the
restoration of the University Of LOU
vain. The international committee
named national committees, and for
it's share the United States proposed
to undertake the erection and equip
ment of a new library building at an
estimated cost of half million dollars.
This building and equipment will be
presented free to the University Of
Louvain cas- a contribution toward
the establishment of this illustrious
university and as permanent mem
orial Of the heroic services OF the
people in defense Of human liberty.
= s. y
Mr.. Wight is brother Of D. P.
Wight, long a resident of Baraboo
and now citizen in Madison. The
only son Of Mr.. and Mrs. D. p. Wight,
Walter G. Wight, has been stu
dent in the University of Wisconsin.
Mrs. Wight was member of the
Greenwood family.
* * *
While in Madison a few days ago
Mr.. Wight told the writer what he
had done and explained that in each
volume was an engraved inscription
stating the books and articles were a
gift from himself and family. The
library was the result of years of
effort, the finding of a rare volume,
no doubt, at times making Mr. Wight
happier than a king. Now, willingly
and gladly, he sends his treasures
across the sea to become part of a
new storehouse which should never
be sacrificed to the god of war, it
matters not whether ruthless con-
quest or necessary defense send forth
the conflicting armies.

3 CENTS WORTH
OF PEAS SELLS
FOR 1882: REFS
For Each Can Farmer Received
Merest Fraction of Final Price
to Consumers

That the return to the farmer from
the average can Of peas is about 8
cents, and that the same can sells to
the consumer between Is and SO cents
is the report Of Alvin G. Refs, counsel
for the division of markets, Madison
to Mrs. George A. Chamberlain, chair
man of the Milwaukee fair price COM
mittee in answer to her request for a
statement on prices charged by can
neries.
1.-THE grower of peas in Wisconsin
receives on the average, cents per
pound for his peas" says the letter.
AN ordinary can of peas, sealed,
weighs one pound and four ounces.
The actual peas in the can weigh on
ly IA ounces. Therefore, the return to
the farmer from the average can OF
peas is about 3 cents. This can sells
to the consumer between Is and 80
cents"
Public hearings by the division OF
markets to determine standards for
canned peas and to require the ap
propriate labelling of the product as
the statutes now require, will be urg-
ed by Mr.. Refs, it was promised, Mr..
Refs declared that every can OF peas
produced in Wisconsin should be
packed according to grade: and the
variety, grade and sieve should be
stamped on the can. Wisconsin has
two varieties Of peas, Alaska and
Sweets, with three commercial grades
in each variety fancy, extra standard,
and standard, an five sleeves. A sam
pie price list shows a range in price OF
from Fancy No. at $3.50 to Standard
No. at $3.50.
1.-THE market at the present time is
buying and selling peas according to
recognized grades and sieves," says
the letter. '"The legal adoption of
these grades cannot be any imposition
upon the trade. The canneries l am
convinced, will gladly label their pro-
ducts according to grade and sieve, for
they are already selling on the basis
OF these specifications.
Unless Wisconsin's canneries to-
day are misrepresenting the quality of
their goods-an assumption which
refuse to make-they may be expected
to cooperate in the proposed regula-
ton. The wholesale and retail trade
can have no righteous ground for OPP
posing an order which requires can
of peas to show the quality Of it's con
tent. A regulation which dies not pre-
JUDGE legitimate business cannot be
criticized because it fails to satisfy
the INSCRIPTIONS.
Further comment on the right prices
is contained in the final paragraph:
LET me further suggest that you
will find margin of approximately
so per cent intervening between the
original factory price and the price to
the consumer. Canned corn | use on
my table costs IL cents and this corn
leaves the factory at $1.25 per dozen
or 10 cents and fraction per can.
The amount which the consumer pays
as the cost of distribution is 63 per
cent of the original factory price. And
this corn is canned l miles out of
Madison"

SIBERIA PRISONERS
DIE BY THOUSANDS
Fusitives Assert Deaths by Wholesale
Caused by Starvation and Disease.
Bodies Stacked Like Loge.

COPENHAGEN.-Lieut. Fischer
of the Austrian army, and eight COM
rades arrived here today after escap-
ing from Siberian prisoners camp,
declared that the prisoners in Siberia
were dying by wholesale from star
walton, tuberculosis, typhoid and other
diseases.
AS an example OF the death rate, the
Austrians cite one camp of 5000 pris-
oners, of whom, they said, 1000 died
in six months. Forty thousand died
up to end of 1918, the Austrians de-
clared, and the number who had per
ished since then was unknown. Con-
ditions were getting worse daily, they
said, and certain camps were called
dead mans camps" because there
were so many deaths.
Owing to the frozen ground it was
impossible to bury the dead during the
winter, according to the Austrians, and
the naked bodies of the dead prison
ers were stacked like logs outside the
huts they had occupied, remaining
there until spring. During the last
summer large graves were dug in adj
vance for those doomed to death by
starvation or illness during the win
ter.

PHANTOM SHIPS STILL -
HAUNT THE SEVEN SEAS
The Flying Dutchman Originating in the Sixteenth Century,
Even Now Appears to Crews of Doomed Vessels.

We often hear of ghosts haunting
houses, church yards and appearing at
bedsides, or coming in when hidden
at the seance, but less often do we
hear of the spectres of the sea. Yet
there are scores Of we'll authenticated
cases of the appearance of phantom
ships and boats, and these accounts,
often related by persons OF unimpeach-
able integrity, are SO strangely con-
sistent as to detail that one must per-
force hesitate before dismissing the
subject as moonshine.
The best known Of all ocean spec
tres is the phantom ship known as the
F1ving Dutchman, which has been
many, many times seen in the Pacific
ocean, and occasionally in the south
ern parts of the Atlantic.
The origin of the Flying Dutchman
goes back to the sixteenth century,
when a Dutch captain, notorious for
his profanity, swore during terrlhc
gale that he would round the Cape
Horn in spite of all that the powers
of good or evil could do to prevent
him, even if he had to sail till Judg-
ment day.
In vain his crew implored him tc
give up his mad project, and the first
mate was violently assaulted by the
skipper and thrown overheard:
But terrific fash of lightning
struck the ship, killing the captain or
the spot, and very soon the ship went
down with all on board. But the vow
that the captain had made still helc
good, and forever he and his ship are
