Lead the Immigrant
to the Land
by Frederic J Haskin

Washington, April THE problems
of what 10 do with tho immigrant. of
crowded cities and Of idle farm lands
can all be in measure solved by pro-
iect for giving the immigrant every op-
portunitv to obtain a farm as soon AZ
he arrives in America. in the opinion OF
The new commissioner general of inn
migration. w. W. Husband, as express
I'd in an exclusive interview
Mr.. Husband has not yet perfected
his pIan for doing this, hut will 7oon be-
gin holding conferences with his col
leagues for that purpose. His general
idea is To use unCultivated lands IN
private ownership. under some com
mcrcial arrangement with government
supcrvision or cooperation. The lmm-
grant IS not TO bc given ready-ma
farm, but aid and instruction IN clear
ing waste land. as the pioneers did The
farm is to bo paid FOR in long install
mcnts.
while thcre is wide disagreement as
10 how tho thing should be done, al
students Of the agrarian problem or
this country agree with Mr.. Husband
that the great need is for some system
hy which the man with httl" or no
capital. who is capable Of farming, may

The question of prescribing intnNl-
eating liquors by physicians ts one
which has caused us Some diiilculty.
We followed the policy all along that
physicians could not prescribe matt
liquors. but the recent opinion oi the
Attorney General Compels us to change
this policy. Thus. while II Is seen
that there are some uncertainties III
the law. yet IL has seemed to me that
1t has hardly had thorough enough
trial to warrant Congress in making
any radical changes in the same at

the Border problem liquors are being
smuggled into this country from Canada,
from Mexico and from the Islands near
the Florida coast. II is the same old
problem. When a village voted dry
under local option, it experienced great
difficulty with the villages close by
which still had saloons: when a state
voted dry IL was seriously hampered IN
carrying out the principles because an
adjacent state was wet. But in con
nection with this Border problem, /
would like to say this. here is the place
where We ought to have more men. For

Perplexing Questions.

We have had number of perplex-
ing questions raised in connection
with our work. and a number of these
are now in the courts. Quite a num-
Der Of the courts are holding that the
old Internal Revenue laws were re-
pealed by the National Prohibition Act,
and this Notwithstanding what seems
70 be the plain intention of Congress
in the enactment Of the National Pro-
hibition act Further. the question as
to what powers our agents have under
the National Prohibition Act has been
raised by some of the courts, although
it seems to have been the plain in
tention Of Congress 10 give them all
the power which the nature of their
work requires, as shown in Section
2s. Title II of the National Prohibition
Act We have also been somewhat
uncertain as TO what the law provides
as TO the manufacture Of non-intoXi-
eating cider and fruit juices for use
in the home, but as suggested here
tofore ] have always been doubtful
whether we should proceed too Wig
orously in reference to these matters
which have TO do with the home.

Bell Ringing,
One of the Oldest
Christmas Customs
1T0(1 HAT would Christmas be with

1NN1 HAT would Christmas be with
VlNt1 out the melody of the bells
ringing good will town men?
Bell ringing Is one Of the oldest of
Christmas customs At one time, In
England, the ringers gave their serv-
ices free, nor would they accept any
special payment. The peal was rung
as a matter Of course, and was the
natural expression Of English joyous
ness. The merry music of the bells in
Great Britain and wherever churches
have ppals Of bells, ls today as much
a feature Of Christmas as the decora-
tlon Of church and home with ever
greens. or the provision of the good
cheer which always marks this festive
season.
What an outcry there would be If
an edict were issued forbidding the
ringing Of the bells during the coming
festive season Yet this was actually
done during the Commonwealth, for
in 1852 the wise men Of parliament
gave orders that mo observation shall
be had Of the hve-nnd-twentieth day
Of December, commonly called Christ
mas day"
1t is quite certain that this edict
was disregarded in many places, while
In others it led to open rioting. At
Canterbury the mayor of the city tried
to enforce the new rule, but the people
were not going to be deprived Of their
pleasures so easily. so they took the
law into their own hands, broke the
mayors windOws-and some Of his
bones as well-and affirmed their in
tention Of keeping their Christmas in
their own fashion, just as their fathers
had done before them.

This was very puzzling. Had Eliz-

days-pcrhnpS when she had gone
away on visit? No one knew. But
everyone was puzzled. SO much puz-
zleu that they asked no more ques-

should marry Howard. They stopped
telling her what n wonderful husband
he would make. and how much he
loved her.
They were Sprculnting on which Wis

Gus man married or had he been al
