At the solicitation of numerous corn
growers in different parts OF the state,
, l have concluded to call a meeting at
Mitchell, S. D., on Sept. 2Sth, at
O'Clock p. m., for the purpo ose of or
ganizing an annual corn show and
corn growers convention for the state
of South Dakota. All growers of
corn are cordially invited to be pres
ent at this meeting and assist in the
organization of an association which
l believe will do more good to the
state than any other organization tn at
could be formed at this time. The de-
| tails of the organization and the corn
show will be worked out by those
present.
The Commercial Club of Mitchell
has agreed t put up, in cups AUG cash
5000 annually for tlilee year., To be
competed for at the show to be held
by the association. In addition to
this we expect to be able to procure .
large number of premiums in the way
| of corn implements from manufactur-
ers, and to present premium list not
excelled by any other state in the
Union.
There is no doubt but what South
Dakota is farther behind her possi-
biities In the production of corn than
along any other line, and we hope by
| the organization of this association
to create more interest in this line of
South Dakota farming.
| The date selected for the meeting is
| during the Corn Palace week. when
there will be very cheap excursion
rates from all points, and special
trains from large territory tributary

We hope for large attendance at
this time.

The Value of Discount

XTHAT is the meaning of Terms 80 days,
w 90 10 days, and what does it cost the
manufacturer? Since the inducernent is 20 for
payment in 10 instead of 80 days, that is, for
an advance payment of 20 days, the manu-
facturer offers to discount the bill at the rate
of 500 per dnnnm, there being IS times 20
days in the year He pays allows So in
every SIoo for every 20 days or at the rate of
$50 per SIoo per dnHum,
Some cunning customers recognizing that
money can be borrowed for say 90, will avail
themselves of liberal cash discount Offered
probably as an insurance on credit) of say So
and couple the payment with 4-months' note
at interest; and oftentimes the vendor yields
to the customer and allows him his cash
discount of say $50 on $1,000, accepting his
4-months' note with interest the bill, which
at 6%6 will produce him $40. There is clearly
a gain of S3r to the customer; and the
general, and correct, idea is that what is
ones gain is another mans loss. For every
credit there must be corresponding debit.
Now, what has the manufacturer lost? Clearly,
IN the first place, his insurance on credit, and
secondly his power of using working capital,
which viii presumably net him considerably
more than the 90 he is being allowed for it.

Figuring Interest

A MERICANS have for purposes of interest
n cut the year of sos or 800 days to 800,
which has greatly simplified the calculation of
interest The interest on SIoo for year at 20 is
81; therefore, the interest in 100 years will be
SIoo. That is money doubles itself at 70, sim
pie interest, in 100 years. Hence, if 100 years
Tor say 10000 days. be divided by the rate
10 the answer will express the time in years
Tor days, as the case may be- that money takes
to double itself-always at simple interest,
be it remembered.
Thus, if money doubles itself at 70 in $4,000
days, its interest is ITO, 1870 of its princi-
pal in 5000 days, or 1900 IT, e., "a of its
principal in 900 days; and so on throughout.
Thus money doubles itself at 90 in 9 900 days,
and its interest is 1919 gifts principal in 600 days
70 of its principal in 90 days, which is 70 in
90 days, or 2 months, which of course means
that days interest is 100 of ia.
Now observe how easy this makes the cal
culation of interest. On the basis of 90
days interest at Oh per annan (making a
product of 500 being equal to 10 that is,

Oddities of IL, 9, and S

THE number easily lends itself to multi
i plication of any other number of two
figures for as in multiplication by you merely
add to the mutiplicand the same number multi
piled by Tor the same number placed one
figure to the left, which is the same thing, it
is clear that a ready mode of ascertaining the
result is by adding together the two terms of
the multiplicand and placing the total in be
tween Thus, multiply IS by II: Add and
together and place the total (o) between.
The answer is 1913. Should the multiplicand
consist of figures which, added, yield more
than 10, then add one to the first figure of the
answer Thus go times equals 3Io: for and
equal II, and placing between and 9
you have to carry to the and thus increase
it to r, the 2-II-o being converted into 3-I-9.
A popularity of the figure manifests itself
in squaring for the square to any number of
consecutive e's always consists of that number
of o's minus I, followed by an 8, then by
o's to the number of o's, followed by I.
Thus, the square of 900 is oo8,ooI; whereas the
square of 10000 is o,ooo,Soo, ooI.
Figures terminating in are easily squared.
All you have to do is to cut off the 5, and
multiply the remaining figure or figures by
the number Immediately following in arith-
metical rotation. Then add IS, and you have
the answer This looks harder in definition
than it is in practice Take for instance IS.
To square it cut off the S; multiply by 9 (the
number Immediately following in arithmetical
rotation), and add IS. Answer 7,225 Again,
take 24s. To square it, multiply "a by rs
and add IS. Answer 6o,o25.

Depositors' Dividends

HERE is an interesting mathematical prop
Il osition. How is it that if bank can pay
its stockholders a dividend of say 2o%o, it
cannot afford to offer its depositors more than
say 2H@o? Why couldn't the percentage of
return be equalized1 In considering the ques
ton, suppose bank has a paid-up capital
of $40, 900 900, and controls deposits of
5000, ooo, 900, having therefore for investment
S2Io, ooo, 900, which, if invested at 40, would
yield $500. 900. Upon this it pays its
depositors say 21z%6 on their deposits Of S2oo,-
900, 900, which equals SIS 900 900, leaving for
reserve and dividends to shareholders $4,000,
900. OF this let assume it places to the
reserve account 81, 400, 900, leaving for share
holders dividend of 700 on their $40, 900, ooo
amounting to $4,000, 900.
From the foregoing have seen that to
pay depositors 2H96 on their deposits OF $780,
900, 900 it has cost the bank SIS ,ooo, 900, or at
the rate of So, ooo, 900 for every I96. If,
therefore, the bank had increased the deposit
interest by to 3h%s, it would have consumed

the error will at once suggest possible trans

In dealing with numbers from IS to so, the
terminals of squares stand in reverse order;
that is to say, the square of IS minus l. or "a
has the same terminal as the square of rs plus ,
or 20. and so on. Moreover, the like result is
seen with the squares between so and IS; that
is to say, the square of so plus has the same
terminal as the square of I, and that of so
plus as that of ., and so on. And again, the
rule holds between IS and 100, the square of
