 Elton This Morning

Jennie Pierpont Peck, 78, died this morning at the Hotel Elton. She was native of this city and had been associated with the Silas, Bronson Library from 1895 to 1907.
 Miss Peck was admirably fitted, most by temperament and training for her work as cataloguer at the library and taxed her strength to the utmost in making the library available to the public.
 From its beginning the Monthly Bulletin was in her charge, a work requiring no less than painstaking care. She is greatly missed by the public and by her associates in the library where her courtesy and sim cere unselfishness made her a fav- orite.
 Following her retirement she trav- eled extensively and frequently in Europe and the United States. Tn her reclining years she recalled many of her experiences and spent many happy hour telling delight- ful tales of episodes which occurred in her travels.
 The funeral will be held Monday morning at Il o'clock at St. Johns church, Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis off, ciating. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery,

the appeal. It is the hope of the class that the petition will be ap- proved of when and if 1t is pre- sented to the board of education at the next meeting.
 Pavilion Favored
 The question of whether the stu dents have a right to petition the board in connection with this mat ter may arise, but there will cer- tainly be no question as to what reasons are offered in the plea. The five reasons why the dance should be held at the park are very con- cisely and explicitly stated in the petition, which reads, in part, as follows: The poor ventilation system at the Wilby gym endangers the health of the large crowd which will undoubtedly attend the affair and the park pavilion; especially design ed for dancing, has better ventila- ton facilities and would assure 8 comfortable evemning for the danc- CTS; the acoustics at the Wilby gym tend to distort the tones of the orchestra, while Hamilton Park, with its complete simplifying system is ideal for the presentation of good music.
 Inadequate Lights
 The last three items in the peti- ton go on to comment on the in- adequate lighting facilities at the Wilby gym, in connection with a prom, and the necessity of decorat- ing the gym, task which the stu dents claim sometimes invites in- jury. In closing, the appeal states that the class wil have completed Its part in the public school pro- gram of the city of Waterbury and feels that 1t should have the best facilities the city has to offer for its last and most important social function.
 It has been learned that a simi- liar petition was drawn up during the latter part of last year, but when the items and signings were completed, it was too late to have the plan submitted to the board of education. There are approximately 300 members of the senior class, and it is expected that all will sign this petition.

INDIANA FARM
CASH RECEIPTS
RISE SHARPLY
Larger Income Reflected in
Early Payments on
lnStaIIments.
Times Special


LOUISVILLE, KY, March 49,
The per cent boost in cash receipts
by Indiana farmers from the sale of
principal farm products and rental
and benefit payments in 1885 over
1884, amounting to $1,000 900, is re-
fiected in current receipts of interest
payments and in advance INSTALL
ments repaid on loans of the Federal
Land Bank of Louisville, Myron G.
Grigg, vice president and treasurer,
said today.
During the last six days of Feb
ruary and the first three in March,
13,459 Federal Land Bank borrow
ers paid in more than $1.500,000 in
terest and principal payments on
their loans" Mr.. Grigg declared
THE holders of 7148 Land Bank
commission loans paid $484 ,O00 the
total receipts of the bank for those
days thus standing just under
100000.
Emergency Rules Still Hold
March interest maturities on
Federal Land Bank loans totaled
$1057 900, and of this $4,000 had
been paid in prior to March /. IN
terest maturities on Land Bank
commissioner loans amounted to
$658,OO0, of which $500 900 had been
paid in before the beginning of
the month.
Due to emergency regulations
still in effect, farmers holding
these loans are required to pay only
the interest on current maturities,
yet in February the regular amor
tization payments on the principal
of land bank loans amounted to
$4,000, with additional and spe-
cial payments on principal total
ing $4,000, while 131 Land Bank
loans aggregating $4,000 and 1856
commissioner loans for $4,000
were paid off in full.
Outstanding Loans Listed
This represents reduction in
the principal amount of farmers
loans from the land bank and the
commissioner totaling $1,021 900
during February, despite the fact
that no principal payments are ex-
acted if interest payments are be-
ing maintained.
I'VE believe that this debt re-
payment record reflects both the
desire and intention of farmers of
the Fourth Farm Credit Admins
tration District to repay their Dor
rowings in a systematic program of
debt reduction and their increased
ability to pay due to favorable crop
and market conditions"
Outstanding in Indiana at pres
ent are approximately Al 800 Fed
eral Land Bank and commissioner
loans for SOL, $4,000.
