NTEREST RATES IN NEW ENGLAND LOW Banks Loan Farmers Money Here at Reasonable Cost (Special to the Herald.) ‘Washington, Oct. 2.—Interest rates charged by New England banks to farmers in that section are reason- able, according to official authorities here who have been investigating the subject in connection with the or- ganization the farm loan banks that were authorized under the so- called rural credits system created by act of the recent session of congress. New Hampshire was found to have the lowest rate of interest charged on farmers’ loans in any state of the union. The New Hampshire rate of interest on such loans is said to be less than 6 per cent. So that, it is believed, the new law, which author- izes loans at 5 per cent., is not ex- pected to greatly help the farmers of New Hampshire. New Hampshire was found to have the lowest rate of interest charged on farmers' loans in any state of the union. The New Hampshire rate of interest on such loans is said to be less than 6 per cent. So that, it is believed, the new law which author- izes loans at 5 per cent., is not ex- pected to greatly help the farmers of New Hampshire. Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts also have prevailing low rates of interest on loans to far- mers, it is stated by Secretary Flan- nagan of the national farm loan board. In those states, it is said, the rate is about 6 per cent. The average rate of interest pre- vailing throughout New England, it is stated, by Mr. Flannagan, so far as loans to farmers are concerned, is only six and a fraction per cent. Contrast this with the rates of in- terest which the farm loan board has found to be charged in some parts of the west and south. In the middle west, for inc‘ance, it is declared that banks not infrequently charge as much as 5 per cent. per months in- terest on loans to farmers. Annual interest rates in some parts of the west and south often range around 60 or 70 per cent, it is said. It is believed that the spread of knowledge among farmers that they can obtaln money from the farm loan banks at 5 per cent. will go far to- wards remedying the conditions of usury which are painted by the farm loan board in gloomy color: Inci- dentally democratic politicians hope that the announcement that farmers in some sections may be able to re- duce their interest payments very largely will help the democratic party, which now claims credit for enacting the rural credits law. The bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor has just issued a bulletin on unem- ployment in the United States. Not a great deal of unemployment was | found, it appears, but some i The bulletin says that “the percentage of unemployment in the cities studied was found in Bridgeport, where only 4.3 per cent, were unem- ployed, although 19.9 per cent. were reported as working only part time.” Other cities also showed a high per- centage of work. The highest ner- centage of unemployment found in any of the 16 cities was found in Du- luth, Minn., where 20. 2 per cent of all wage earners were reported without work of any kind, and 17.8 per cen. were working part time, In what will probably be the last number of the Congressional Record for the last sesslon of congress the appears, as 'an extersion of the re- niarks of Representative Foster of Tl- linois, one of the democratic leaders of the house, a full report of the ad- dress delivered by Homer S. Cummings of Stamford, vice chalrman of the democratic national committee and member of that committee for the state of Connecticut, upon the occa- sion of his assuming the chairmanship of the democratic state convention held at New Haven, May 9, 1916. The Cummings speech fills six pages of tho Congressional Record, which was re- cently published long after congress adjourned. Tt is accompanied by headlines, subheads, parenthetic re- marks indicating the applause Mr, Cummings received, ete.

John McBriarty’s drug store and post office sub-station was looted by burglars Saturday night or early Sun- day morning and about $20 in cash, about $10 worth of ge stamps and a couple of s and a half dozen fountain pens stolen. No clue to the identity of the burglars has been found, ‘but the police state that there is nothing to indicate that this job was done by the same person that burglar- ized the Arcade Jewelry store win- dow the previous night. Entrance was easily effected as the rear door of the block in which the drug store is located was left unlocked Saturday night. The buglar evident- ly entered through this dor and went to the main cellar of thebuilding. The main cellar is divded from the druggist's cellar, but g broken win- dow indicated that the jobber entered in this manner and fros there walked up the stairs into the store. It is thought that this robbry is the work of a thief who is deciddly amateurish, because of the articlejtaken. None of the drugs in the stor(was touched. FIREMEN Ed SCHMIDT.
