RECTOR A FAST BOY,
 HIS MGR. SAYS so
Boxers Trying to Hide Themselves Should Give This City Wide Berth
 Or Challenge Will Follow.

ol e' WI
 Several days ago the Herald an nounced that a boxer named the Ko- homa Kid was to take up his resi- dencc in the city governed by George A. Quigley and without a safety board, and quickly following comes a challenge from one of the No" Yawl fight managers asking for a fight for his protege, before our new fellow citizen has had an opportunity of seeing the municipal ice house, Billy Keevers or Mike Whites palaces. The defi received is as follows:
 New York Jan., 30. 1916 Sporting Editor, The New Britain
 Herald:
 Dear Sir. Tn one Of your recent issues of your paper, I was interest ed to note that Kohoma Kid who recently lived in New York, intend ed to make your city his future home, and that he was going to go after all the featherweights around this section Of country.
 On behalf of Young Rector of Jer- sey City, I wish to challenge Ko- homa Kid. and if he cares to minglc With 1t6cIOT, IL VIII SulC me immense ly.
 Rector met Kohoma Kid at Browns gymnasium, N. Y.. and the fight TO- suited in such a terrific contest that the boys were immediately rematched, and the result the second time was q gruelling draw
 If Kohoma Kid does not care for another meeting with Rector, I am willing to match Rector with any fea- therweight in tho country.
 Among the boys Rector has the popular decision over are listed |: Frankie Burns. Dutch Brandt, John nie Drummie, Young Cohen of Eng, Eddie Wallace, Kohoma Kid. and the best performance against Frankie Callahan of Brooklyn, with whom be hoxed a draw, just previous to Callahan's K. o. of Joe Rivers. If the promoters of New Britain could match Rector with any boy, l don't care who it may be, I am sure that what I say of this fellows abil- ity will substantiated.
 Very truly yours, FRED J. A. LORME, 439 West 51st street, New York City.

What Mir. Huqhes Would Do

Mir. Hughes is an aggressive, militant, but not militaristic candidate. He is more and more putting Mir. Wilson on the defensive and incidentally replying to that foolish question. What would you have done. MT. Hughes?"
 NIT. Hughes is telling what he will do if he shall be called upon to do. At the same time he is bringing more forcibly to the attention of the public what MT. Wilson has done and what he has not done. As to what MT. Wilson will do next week or next month MT. Hughes cannot say. MT. Wilson him. self cannot say. for he does not know. any more than he knows from which quarter the wind will be blowing then.
 But Mir. Hughes would do this: He would use the power of the United states to give protection to American citizens at home and abroad. He would so direct the affairs of the nation that American citizens would be held in re- spect again. He would bring about a restoration of the pride that Americans once felt in their citizenship. At pres ent there is no such pride. Americans abroad are not boasting loudly of their Americanism. An American travelling in any of the Latin American coun- tries finds that he can command more respect if he can pass for an English man. American citizens are subject tc affronts in England. Germany and Aus uia. They are looked upon as the rep resentatives of chicken-livered, sniv. cling and hypocritical nation.
 This attitude of the world toward Americans Is a new one; it has beer taken within the last two years. Mir Hughes has had nothing to do with it but if he is given something to do witt it the next four years he will change that attitude.

A Model Candidate

The republican club of this city has proposed Mir. H. B. Wilkinson for the republican nomination for state sen- ator from this county This proposal has been most favorably accepted by republicans generally. who would re- gard the party as extremely fortunate in securing a candidate of the type of MT. Wilkinson. Many democrats would welcome his canudacy. for Mir. Wilkinson is far better known as an advocate of the highest puofic service than as a partisan.
 A few men of the kind of Mir. Wilkin- son would give a new tone to the leg islature, whose membership in the past has averaged something below mediocrity. It has conferred no honor upon the few men of ability who have served in it. Our legislatures have been of little value, or of very doubtful value. to the state.
 MT. Wilkinson has been a resident O the county for many years. He hal never betrayed any political ambition but he has been foremost in ever, movement that looked to the better ment of the city, the county and th' state. His acceptance of the nomina tion and his election would involve sacrifice on his part, but If he i willing to make it, 1t should be, an' we believe would be eagerly accepte' by a majority of the men and womel of this county.
 In the midst, or at the close of ever session of our two state legislatures regular and special, citizens hay voiced their deep disgust and declare that the next time they were going t have a new deal. But there was n opportunity for new zeal then. liner
 is now. and let us have it. Let U
 begin by the nomination of Mir. Wilkin
 son for state senator and for the nom l ination of other legislative candidate l like him.
 If the republican party will put strong legislative ticket in the flel ] this year we believe it will have u l solid support of the party and of l large number of democratic voters wi
 have felt the humiliation of the la e five years.

Registration

There are only three weeks more of registration for the primary election. Notwithstanding the furore the demo- cratic factions have created, the reg istration in all the counties is remark ably light In this county there are now registered only about 14.000 vot- CTS, against a total registration of 21,- 900 two years ago. So 1t is all over the state. Generally more democrats have registered than republicans, under the impetus of the bitter factional fight now going on within the party, but that fight has not provoked such an out pouring of democrats as might have been expected. In a few sections of the state. the republicans, with little incentive to qualify for the primaries have registered more heavily than the democrats.
 The first period of the registration will close on September 2. There will be a supplemental registration period before the general elsction, but it i. safer not to wait for 1t. Republican. should register now.

The Amazing condue. of Figure.

We find in the Congressional Record of July some remarks by Hon. Henry F. Ashurst, our junior United States senator. who. we have been informed. will consent to further service in that capacity. on a variety of topics which will figure in the national campaign. One of these topics is rural credits. concerning which MT. Ashurst says that he has received so many re- quests for information as to the pro- visions of the law that he embraces this opportunity to answer them with simple. sweeping broadside.
 Mir. Ashurst. however. answers noth- ing; he merely explains the meaning of the word amortization" which was quite we'll known before MT. Ashurst went to the senate and perore any rural credits bill was ever conceived. There is not a word of explanation by Mir. Ashurst concerning the manner in which the borrower is to obtain loan under the bill: only an explanation of a feature of the payment plan. "Amorti- zatlon." the creation of sinking fund which will extinguish both interest and principal at the close of an agreed period.
 Mir. Ashurst presents us with table illustrating the phenomenon of amorti- zation. He assumes that one has bor- s1.0O0 for a period of thirty-six years at an agreed-upon rate of per cent. Mir Ashurst happily surprises the bor- rower by informing him that though he has agreed to pay 6 per cent interest he is in reality paying about 4ss per cent interest. It Is done sn this wise: In order to extinguish principal and in terest at the end of thirty-six year. the borrower must pay annually s6s.3S Of this the first year. s60 Is interes and ss3s is paid on the principal Yea by year. though, the same total sum i paul. itSc OA iN ID iiNcicott Wiiht ehS pay ments on the principal increase, unti the thirty fifth payment, when the in terest is s7.es and the payment on tn principal Is s60.76.
 Now Mir. Ashurst arrives at the tru rate of interest, 4.66 per cent in thi way: The sum of all the interest pay ments MT. Ashurst finds to be si,464.2l Dividing this sum by thirty-six. W have s4s.ss. the average annual interes payment, and that payment is onl 4ss per cent, instead of 6 per cent, ( s1.o0o.

HoW HENRY poEs IT

This is not meant as a defence oi those dealers in autos of the genus Ford, in case any of them may have sold car during the last days of July. but may be of interest as to the methods Friend Henry pursues in making this sensational reduction in the price Of the much reviled but more longed for automobile. The Ford agency at this place received instruc- tions or July 3i to cut the price on August Ist. MT. Trimble local man. ager considers himself fortunate in not having cars on hand, purchased at the higher price. for on the occa- sien of the former reduction it cost him just $40 to sell at the reduced price the cars he had on hand MT. Ford thinks evidently. that these re- auctions are his own special and par ticular business. and agent and buyer alike are not. going to receive any mo- tice months or even days ahead ex- cept where he pledges himself in the sacred name of the dove of peace that he will no more reduce within one year from August 1st last Activity at the reduced rate has resulted in the sale of fifteen Fords by the Mesa agency within the last seven days.

made no mistake and given him lower rate of interest than r had agreed to give. He would observe that in mak ing the twenty ninth annual payment, when he had paid s42.S7. the nearest sum in the table to MT. Ashursts av- craze, there was yet due the govern ment only s425.42, so that as that stage of the proceedings the borrower had paid little more than 10 per cent on the amount yet due.
 The arrangement of the table does not really show what race of interest is paid each year. For some years the interest is less than per cent and others it is more. The total annual payments, though, are uniform, but the division of the payment between prin- cipal and interest is arbitrary. But 1t is so arranged that in the end the pay ment on the amount due is per cent, no more and no less. We are speaking, of course, of the loan in illustration.
 Commenting on his discovery that per cent is really less than 3h per cent, MT Ashurst naively observes;
 Of course. this remarkable result is reallv accomplished by the constant reduction which is made in the prin- cipal and by constantly decreasing the annual interest charge. The rate given-that of 322 per cent-repre- sents. however. the average rate of interest paid during the entire period if computation he made on the origin al principal of S1000, which Is the ord l. mary method Of borrowing money. Great is amortization, but far great CT is modification as a finisher of events and folks. Such financial cal culations as that in which MT. Ashurst has indulged should tend to the amor tizement of his service in the senate
 But after all, the rural constituency of Mir. Ashurst is less interested in the operation of the payment plan of the rural credits law than they are in the way to avail themselves of the loans What must they do to set in? What security must they produce? AnC who is going to reap the profits of the land banks which will operate partly or the money, perhaps very very smal subscriptions of the stockholders anC the very large contributions of tn, United States treasury which the lanC banks will use without interest, bu which will be loaned to such farmer as can qualify at a rate of interest no exceeding per cent?
