Stick to the Farm.

AS a result of the unsuccessful
farming year there promises to be
a movement from the country to the
towns when the movement should
he the other way. The change
from buying supplies in town to
raise them at home, which change
promises to take place in a large
measure this year, means that there
will be less opportunity in the towns
for success than there ever was
Thousands of people in the towns and
cities are already out of employment

Better Borrow Money and Pay Cash.

A cash basis is what every farmer
should aim to get on. Certainly
whenever no better form Of rural
credits is available it will pay repu-
table farmers ninety-nine times out
of a hundred to borrow money from
some bank or honest money-lender
(preferably bank) at or 8 per
cent. interest for twelve months in
stead of paying at the rate of 10 to
40 per cent. a year in the form of
time prices Only few months
ago the writer sent out batch of in
quiries to several hundred farmers
in the South Atlantic and South Cen
trail States including the following
questions:
about how much more do mer-
chants charge for time prices than
for cash prices in your community?
What per cent. extra for six months
time?
Taking so replies, without selec-
ton, just exactly as we come to them '.
we find farmers replies as follows:
Per cent extra charges for six
months time prices: S-15-5-30 to
1OO-40-5-20-20-25-10-S-
25- to -40-40-10-20 to so
-50-2O-25 to 50-35-10 to 25
10 to 20-10-15-15 to 25-
10 to 50-25 to 40-47-"2 for T.
$40 to 50-10-15-33' 1-3-
"They charge from 25 per cent. to
grand larceny'-10 to 20-10-4-
5-1O-15-4-16-20-10-20 to
to 25.
And with such figures it seems
safe to assume that on time prices
for ordinary supplies the average
charge is Is to 20 per cent. for six
months time, or at a rate Of 80 to
40 per cent. interest per annum, and
when the account runs only three
months, the charge might thus equal
a 60 to 80 per cent. interest rate, and
with such evidence it should certain
ly not be necessary to ask whether
it will pay to borrow money at 6 to
8 per cent. per year and save from
10 to 40 per cent. thereby.
Instead of paying. time prices" we
should certainly advise any honest
farmer to go to some banker or man
of wealth and borrow money at a
reasonable rate of interest, put it in
a bank, and check on it as needed to
pay cash for whatever he needs.
Understand us, we do not favor
putting all the blame on the mer-
chants. They have to stand so many
losses from dishonest and shiftless
persons that they must make time
prices exorbitant; so exorbitant that
an honest man can't afford to pay
certainly not until he has tried
his local banks and exhausted all
other efforts to get money at a rea-
sonable rate of interest.-Progressive

sion be instructed to report to this general assembly not later than April 1. 1915, on:
 l. The reorganizat ton and con- solidation of various state and county boards and commissions with a view to greater economy and efficiency.
 ,. The revision of the public health laws of the state so as to more definitely fix responsibility, eliminate wastes and Implications and prevent an accumulation and duplication of preventive measures, so that the con- s1ructive work of medicine and science will be more efficient than is possible under our present system.
 Improved Highways.
 The measures taken to construct and maintain improved highways throughout the state during the last twenty years have converted a con- siderable part of our highways into avenues of travel serviceable at all seasons of the year, to the material pecuniary advantage of our agricul- tural communities as well to the convenience and profit of all our citi- zens who have occasion to use them, and have resulted in many instances in the building up of our country towns and 8 material addition to the taxable property of the state. We may with pride and confidence in vite a comparison of these improved highways with those of adjoining states.
 " But these improvements haBe been the cause of the largest single item of state expense for several years and. in view of the present condition of the finances, this subject calls for care ful consideration and conservative ac- tiOo
New Britain herald., 1915-01-06

At the November elec1ion the voters of Connecticut elected all their state officers of one party and gave to thst party an aim ost unprecedented ma jority of the members of each branch of the general assembly
 This expression of confidence, in sharp contrast with the result only two years earlier should bring with if a corresponding sense of responsibility on the part of those chosen. The strength of a political party and its hold upon the electors is measured by the service it renders the state as a whole and not by that rendered to individuals.
 I am confident that we shall work together for the welfare of the state, and that the work of the session will convince the electors of the state that we have been faithful to the trust which they have committed to us.

the Bureau of Labor Statistics, transfer of the duties of the Build ing and Loan Commissioner to the Bank Commissioners department, the abolition of the offices of Commission CT of Domestic Animals, Dairy and Food Commissioner, State Ornith olOg- jst and State Board of Agriculture, and i'll lieu thereof, the creation of the office of Commissioner of Agricul- ture with adequate powers and au- tn ority to perform the desired duties of these several boards or commits siOners, and the abolition of the Board of Exa miners of Barbers and of the Connecticut Board of Embalmers, with a transfer to the State Board of
 Health of such of their duties as may be worth continuing. l also concur in the recommendation of Governor Baldwin for single commissioner of fisheries and game, to have also the duties of the Shell Fish commission, and I believe that the adoption of these recommendations would benefit the state and result in a substantial saving of expense. The multiplication 1 of unnecessary commissions and the 1 continuation of several commissions where one can as well or better serve ! the state should not be tolerated The i only persons benefited by the multi ] plication or continuance of unneces-
 sary commissions are those who are l appointed to fill the offices and draw l their salaries.
 I also concur in the recommenda- tion made by Governor Baldwin that | a single bank commissioner take the 1 place of the bank commissioners and ! thus avoid a divided responsibility. ] There are numerous other boards 1 and commissions whose duties du- 1 plicate or overlap each other. For l instance, the inspection and regula- ton of tenement houses arc subject to i the overlapping duties of six different cc cmmissions, and the inspection and l adjudication relating to infected and l adulterated foOdstuffs, including milk, ] come under the Jurisdiction of six 1 different sets of officials. The system ! of our various comm iSsOns is cum i bersome and complex and is the pro-
 duct of some three hundred and fifty
 statutes and amendments. l recom-
 mend that the general asSe embly au-
 thorize the immediate appointment by
 the governor of a special commission
 of nine members, a majority of whom
 shall be members of the general | Cmbly and of existing state or county i commissions, and that said commis-

close corporations should be accepted from those intimately interested. While the state treasurer has the results to the state cannot be so sat isfactory under such a system as un- der one which required all the ap- praisals of intangible property to be made by one state official. This method has worked satisfactorily in Massachusetts, New York and sev- eral other states.
 I recommend that the tax commits sioner be required to value all in tangible property of estates of de- cedents which are subject to an in heritance tax in this state. Such a procedure would be a desirable re- lief to the judges of our probate courts, and would insure uniformity of valuations, and result in valuable cumulative information and a sub stantially increased revenue to the state from this source.
 State Revenue
 Since 1908, during a period of six years, there has been an increase of over ten million dollars. or 1899 per cent. in the net indebtedness Of the state. There has been an increase of over six million dollars, or 124 per cent. since 1912. A continuation of this procedure should be considered by the representatives of the state as absolutely impossible. Either the ex- penditures of the different depart ments must be radically curtailed, or

You feel fine in a few moments. Your cold in head or cattarh will be gone Your clogged nostrils will open The air passages of your head will clear and you can breathe freely. No more dullness, headache; no hawking, snuffling, mucous dis charges or dryness; no struggling for breath at night.
 Tell your druggist you want a small bottle of Elys Cream Balm. Apply a little of this fragrant, anti septic cream in your nostrils, let it penetrate through every air passage of the head; soothe and heal the swollen, infamed mucous membrane and relief comes instantly.

chase supplies for the institutions which are supported by the state.
 Governor Woodruff recommended this in 1907, and the recommenda- tion was renewed by Governor Bald win in 1911 and 1913, and, inasmuch as it was adopted as a plank in the platforms of both the republican and democratic parties preliminary to the election of last November, I assume that it will receive your approval and favorable action.
 l recommend that the esta ablish- ment of additional hospitals and armories be postponed until the state finances are in a more satisfactory condition, and that the closest econ Omy consistent with continued useful ness be exercised in making appro- priations for any constructive work. The Connecticut School For Imbecilcs.
 l invite your careful investigation and consideration of the con6 tiOns existing at the Connecticut School For Imbeciles at Lakeville. I am informed that there are approximately three hundred inmates of the school at the present time and that the present ca pacity of the buildings is inadequate for their proper care, and that many belonging to the class for whose bene- fit the institution is intended are now in almhouses in the various towns of the state. The duty and necessity of properly caring for these unfortunates is obvious and imperative. If proper arrangements for such care cannot be provided at the present site of the school. another site should be secured and adequate provisions for their care should be made, all of which 1 am informed can be done at a minimum cost through the sale of the present property upon which the buildings of the school are located
