To PAY 4l.2PER CENT
ON farm LOAN BONDS
Farmers Borrowing Money on Lands
to Paw S Per Cent Interest.

The Federal Farm Loan Board yester-
day adopted q resolution fixing a rate
OF n per cent to be paid on farm loan
bonds to be issued as a means of rails
ing money to lend to farmers. At the
same time the board fixed a rate OF s
per cent to be paid by farmers on farm
mortgages for the use of the funds.
The difference OF one-half of one per
cent is to be used to pay the expenses
OF operating the system. The board hopes
ultimately to bring this margin down to
one-eighth Of one per cent To do this
II will have to keep dividends low, but
the board takes the view that the farm
ers would rather get money at low In
terest rates than receive high dividends
The mortgage rate is one per cent un-
der the maximum which could be charged
under the law.
The present farm mortgage indsoted-
ness of the United States aggregates ap-
proximately $.0o0, 10000 at an average
interest rate of "a per cent. The per
cent rate fixed by the board will mean
saving of about s1oo,oooooo year to
the American farmers.

According to The local dopesters.
 there is an excellent prospect that the shat the first mail from thc states may arrive here on December 7th-some days earlier than at any time in the past. The calculation is based largely on the fact that the mail which ar rived here last Friday left Chltina October l6 and came through ->son schedule time. leaving Fairbanks Oct ? and requiring the usual thirty days to reach Nome from that point--ie. 9 days from Fairbanks to Panama and 2l days from Panama to Nome. If the same schedule is maintained the mail leaving Chitina two weeks later-Oct 30th-and arriving here December 7:h. might carry one weeks mail from Se- attle. The prospect depends, of course. on steamboat connections at the lower

MOSQUITO FLEET.
 WILL BE FORMED
 BY BOAT OWNERS
Local Yachtsmen to Guard Harbor-List of Volun-
 teers Compiled.

A fleet of motor boats or mosquito fleet, as it will be known, will begin tomorrow morning to watch day and night every boat or vessel that goes in or out of the local harbor during the present break with Germany Ihe idea for this harbor guard originated with Harbormaster William A. La mond Today he brought to Mayor Wilson a list of names of owners or private motor boats who have orered to perform this service. For the pres ent the names will not be made pub lie nor will the plans for the patrol be given out. as it is believed that II this information becomes public, the pur- pose for which the fleet is organized will be defeated.
 The captains and crews of the patrol boats will have police powers and will arrest shippers of any craft who fail to stop for search when ordered The idea of the fleet is to keep tabs on shipments of munitions by water and a1~o on all sorts of craft that may en- ter the harbor The mosquito fleet will also watch out for small boats about the piers of the bridges that cross the Pequonnock river and the bridge at Yellow Mill They will per form the same sort of guard duty which the Coast Artillerymen are now performing on the railroad bridge.
 The motor boat owners are mem ibers of the local yacht clubs who are anxious to do ''their bit'' in the pre- paredness plan now being carried out throughout the nation.

MAYORS SYSTEM
 IN CENSUS MUST UNDERGO CHANGES
Work Behind Here, and Volunteers Will be Sought
 to Complete It.

Tn order to expedite the taking of the military census, the mayor has called a conference at his office Mon- day forenoon with Charles H. Suck ley, assistant superintendent of police and director of the census; F. A. Ben nett of the Manufacturers association; F. E. Morgan of the Business Mems association and George Cove of the Chamber of Comme cree. A mass meet ing probably will be called next week and Boy Scouts, Boy Brigadiers, church and other societies will be asked to as- sist
 The plan of the mayor to have 20 policemen and 12 f1remen gather the statistics is not working out well. The census takers report that their efforts are being treated with indifference by many of the residents, especially the foreign-born or those of foreign par. entage. The canvass thus far has not resulted in procuring half the names that were expected.
 South NorWalk has completed it's census, the work being apportioned out and performed by volunteers af- ter big mass meeting and volunteer
  compiling the information. The mili- tary census is all but completed in Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury Bridgeport appears to be the only big city in the state which is behind. The system arranged by the mayor here is different from that used in any other city. No volunteer workers are em- ployed and the mayor had planned to do the work with the paid police and firemen. This plan it is found will not meet the situation and at least 200 volunteer workers, clerks, steno- graphers, typists and statisticians must take service to get the census completed on time.
 The mayor called conference for today but because the head of several of the civic bodies were upable to be present it was postponed until Mon day.
 Assistant Supt. Suckley today stat ed that the police would be glad to accept the services of patriotic citizens who desire to aid in completing the census A dozen patriotic men this morning visited police headquarters and volunteered to help, responding to the call of aid by tn epolice.

Board of Directors
 of Milk Producers
 Asso. Holds Meeting

A special meeting of the board of directors of the Co-Operative MIX Producers association was held at II a m. today at The Stratfeld. Reports of stock subscriptions procured by the promoters in Trumbull, Monroe, New town, Hawleyville and Brookfield were deceived from w. c. Johnson, Eli Greenblatt and Harry Coburn. The amount of stock so far subscribed is as follows: Trumbull, $1,600; Monroe, s, ,000; Newtown. 8 900; Hawleyv1lle. $1 GOO; Brookfeld, $2000.
 The reception of the movement by the milk producers so far as seen is satisfactory to the directors, and no apprehension is felt that the minimum sum of s5O,OO0 will be subscribed in the rest of the towns as soon as weather conditions will permit of thorough canvass of the other towns of both Fairfield and Litchfield counties.
