Not Confined to South.

These high rates, however, are not
confined exclusively to the south, for
the reports show occasional rates of
so per cent in the east and north, as
well as in the far west and south.
Twelve per cent seems to be regarded
still as not extraordinary by the coun-
try bankers of Minnesota, Wyoming,
Kentucky and California. Owing either
to the rigid usury laws of North Caro-
lima or to the natural shrewdness of
your citizens, the average interest
rates in your state are lower than
elsewhere in the south. While one
bank in North Carolina admitted max
ing a loan at as high as 80 per cent
its average rate on all loans was less
than 6h per cent and the average
rate for loans by all national banks in
your state was slightly over per cent.
He cannot" said Mr.. Harding, re-
| ferring to deposits by Secretary Nc
Adoo in the southern reserve banks, be
| charged with discrimination in favor of
| one section, for he has offered to de-
post Treasury funds with federal re-
serve banks of other sections, which
deposits have been declined.
II fully agree that from purely
banking standpoint. and eliminating all
other considerations. the deposits were
not essential. The situation as bank
| ing proposition could have been cared
| for by the southern reserve banks,
either by an expansion of their note
| issues or by rediscounting with other
| federal reserve banks. but the human
equation has to be reckoned with. par
| ticularly when it comes to dealing with
southern farmers. The federal reserve
system is still new. On the other hand,
| the farmer knows about the govern
ment of the United States
Step Taken to Restore Confidence.
in my opinion, the Secretary. who
was born and reared in the south, and
| is familiar with the southern tempera-
ment, felt that by announcing his in
tention to deposit government funds
with southern banks to assist in NOV
| ing the cotton crop simultaneously
with Great Britain's declaration of con-
| traband against cotton, he was avail
| ing himself of the psychological mo-
ment for restoring confidence. AS far
as cotton is concerned, the recent adj
vance in the price of that staple seems
to afford ample justification for the
course pursued"

Without an Alternative.

Il realize perfectly that under the
present circumstances it is not ques-
ton of whether we want to loan money
to Europe or not. AT present We have
no alternative. We must loan money
to Europe in order to keep our foreign
trade moving and in order to permit us
to realize the largest possibilities OF
the present situation.
"However, we should not lose sight of
the fact that the undeveloped countries
of South America. of Africa. of Aus
tralia and of the far east are ardently
seeking capital with which not only to
develop but with which to keep the
yery wheels of commerce moving"

MESA NEWS NOTES
CARLOAD SHIPMENTS 0P
 FINE QUALITY CABBAGE
Productiveness of Mesa Soil Again
 Demonstrated By Joe Matsuma, Local Gardener

It has been said that the Mesa soil possesses the characteristics. ne- cessary for the production of ary fruit, grain or vegetable that is pos sible to be grown in the semi tropical climate The truthfulness of the statement is being demonstrated an- nually, or rather perhaps each sue ceeding year sees the production ill quantities of varieties of fruits or vegetables heretofore undertaken only on a small scale.
 The latest record to be established by the Mesa soil was by Joe Mat sumo, a local gardener who has dem onstrated that this is the natural home of the cabbage. Not only has it been proven conclusively that cab bages will grow in large quantities for the amount of seed and energy required in their propagation but that the quality of the vegetable ex cels that produced in California. which heretofore has been looked up- on as the ne plus ultra from the cabbage growers standpoint.
 It is true that MT. Matsumo IS a gardener of no mean ability but ac cording to his own statements he has never been favored with such good fortune in the growing of the plants as in the Mesa section. He has not only supplied the local market, but so bountifully have been his crors that he has been compelled to seek an outside market and yesterday shipped out two of the finest car loads of cabbages that were ever seen at the local shipping station. One of the cars was consigned to Denver while the other went to Fl Paso.
 While cabbages are holding sway on account of the large quantity, they are closely seconded by the splendid variety of green peas which within the past week have begun coming into the local markets in great quantities. The soil has been found especially favorable for growth of peas. Asparagus. heretofore con- sidered a rather hard plant to bring to maturity, is now grown in aoun- dance and the local market is well supplied with the home grown vari- ety. The lettuce shipments which this year went out in carload lots and of the finest variety ever seen in this section. is about over The locai commission house report small shipments and many local gardeners continue to bring in splendid quality of the head variety.

SOME GOOD MUSIC
 FOR TODAYs CONCERT
Baritone Solo Will Be Feature-Good
 Program Throughout

The usual good program with sev- cral special numbers and just a tinge of Easter music in it, is what those who gather at the concert of the Tempe band on the plaza this afternoon will hear. Within the last two weeks several new members have been added to the organization. several new instruments received and the band otherwise improved to make it even better than it has been in months.
 A baritone solo, Just for a Girl" by Herbert Schurz is one of the fea- ture items of this afternoons con- cert Schurz came to Tempe just two weeks ago and in that length of time his splendid work with the band has marked him as one of the lead CTS. His music on the baritone would do justice to a man following the orchestra or band business for d living.

coRoNER'S AID Is ATTACKED
STRIKERS LOCKED IN HALL
For the second time, regardless Of
the frightful tragedies that would en-

thousands of striking clothing work
ers in Hold Carriers hall yesterday
while they conducted search for the
men alleged to have beaten up
Adolph Hermann, deputy coroner Of
Cook county, in mistake for a strike
breaker. Herman was unable to iden-
tify any one in the hall as his as
sailant.
Hermann, who lives at 624 S. Peo-
ria ST., was attacked by some men
as he left his home to go to the cor
ner drug store. He declares they
pointed him out as scab and follow
ed him for a short distance before
they knocked him down.
He broke away from them, ran
back to his home, got a revolver and
emptied seven shots straight into the
crowd. 1t is not known how many
were wounded.
The men who had attacked him
scattered before the shots and Her
mann got an auto and two detectives
and went down to Hold Carriers hall.
There the party was REINFORCED by
several cops and the doors of the
hall locked on the mass of strikers
gathered inside.
= After the search was over and Her
mann admitted he found no one who |
had assaulted him, two men outside |
the hall, declared by the cops not to |
be strikers, were picked out by Her. |
