CREDIT
LOANS INCREASED
OVER 1886 MARK

Production credit loans to farmers
in the first quarter of 1887 increased
substantially over the corresponding
period in 1886, which is evidence of
the increasing popularity of this
source of cooperative farm credit in
the opinion of Floyd T. Ames, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Tidewater Pro-
duction Credit Association.
The Tidewater Production Credit
Association has had an increase over
1886 of Is per cent in the number of
loans closed.
Results from the Ia associations in
Virginia show an increase from 1891
loans for $622,9S to 1922 for $780,
836, gain of 531 loans for $181 1852.
Mr.. Ames pointed out that the larger
volume does not mean that farmers
are going further into debt, but that
more of them are making greater use
of cooperative credit that is adapted
to agricultural needs, and frequently
save from 10 to 20 per cent when pur-
chasing farm supplies and equipment
by using production credit loans to
pay cash and save the cash discount
and carrying charges.
For the entire second Farm Credit
Administration district, including Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Della
ware, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico,
loans for the quarter increased from
1912 for $1,774,324 to 1912 for ST.
54s,O55, a gain of $40 for $77S, 7S1.
The average loan increased from a
bout $567 to $651, Mr.. Ames said.

THE floorwalker in a large depart
ment store watched the moving
stairway (escalators to you) so long
one day that they developed a strange
fascination for him. At the close Of
the day he decided to experiment. He
pushed q switch near the stairs and
stopped them. Then he found that
he could 60 up the short flight in five
strides. Next he started the stairs
moving again, TOWARD him, and found
that for every three strides up he was
carried back two. At this rate how
many strides did 1t take him to get
to the top?

Speakers Eulogize
State Federation

Columbus (OLNS)-Three promi-
nent labor leaders, visitors at the reg
ular meeting of the Columbus Fedora
tion of Labor last week, eulogized the
achievements of the Ohio State FEEDER
alton of Labor and its secretary
treasurer, Thomas j. Donnelly.
Carl F. Mullen, president of the
Indiana State Federation Of Labor,
told the delegates they were fortunate
in having progressive state labor
body which had provided them with
some of the best labor laws in the
nation.
He explained that he was in Column
bus studying various Ohio labor laws
which he hopes to have enacted in
Indiana. Labor in other states, he
said, look upon the Ohio State FEEDER
alton Of Labor as the leader in labor
legislation.
Otto w. Brach, former secretary
treasurer of the Toledo Central Labor
Union, and vice president of the Ohio
State Federation Of Labor, urged local
labor to attend legislative committee
meetings and sessions to aid the State
Federation in obtaining legislation
and to adopt more militant, aggressive
and active demands for labors rights.
Brach is now a member of the Toledo
Regional Claims Board of the indus
trial commission
Jack R. Mccahan, former president
of the Canton Federation of Labor,
now a member of the Canton Regional
Claims Board, also eulogized the work
of the Ohio State Federation of La
Dor and its secretary treasurer and
legislative agent, Thomas J. Donnelly.

Compensation Fund
Nearing New Peak

Columbus (OLNS) Premium pay
ments by employers into the state
insurance fund for payment of COM
pensation to injured workmen will
probably total more than $19,0O0,000
this year, records of E. l. Evans, actu-
ary for the commission, reveal.
This would set a new high for prem
ium payments into the fund, accord
ing to A. d. Caddell, secretary to the
commission He attributed the in
crease to three factors: more en-
ployers paying into the fund; increas-
ed premium rates necessitated by the
recent depression's inroads into the
fund, and increased payrolls.
Recently appointed members of the
Regional Claims Boards of the indus
trial commission are continuing to
gain practical working knowledge
of their duties by attending and par
ticipating in hearings on controversial
cases before the commission and ref
erees.
Present regional quarters of the
commission in the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers building in
Cleveland have been enlarged to in
clude approximately 10000 square
