C. II. Herring (Michigan): Yes,
sir. times are rather close in our
state. There is not very much doing
in a commercial way-factories are
largely closed. You see, the things
which we produce, in u immediate
vicinity, excepting copper, are those
things for which the outbreak Of the
European war caused a DECREASE in
demand. This renders conditions

~Stagnation marks business practical
ly everywhere. LabOring men are
looking for work, and in Il majority
of cases are looking in vain. There
is some business activity in and about
San Francisco, it is true, but wen
there there is complaint, because the
number of v~iSitors attending the eX-
position does not reach the eXpcCta-
ton, while thousands of men and wo-
men are hanging around waiting and
praying for a chance to work. South
Dakota people don't want to go west
now unless they have money enough
to keep themselves supplied with nee
eSsltleS. The coast region is a good
country, nevertheless. and for those
having established business institu-
tons, it is all right, but for the pres
ent it's a good place to stay away
from for those who must depend upon
wages or salaries for Il living.

COUNTY BOARD TO
MEET TRUSTEES

School matters from all parts Of
the valley will be thoroughly aired
next Tuesday morning, when the trus-
tees of the s. school districts in the
county meet with the supervisors.
Just what the purpose Of the meeting
is mas not been learned, but 1t is in
tmated that the primary reason is to
eqdahze the salaries of teachers en-
rloyed by the county.
At present no such rate exists and
the salaries Of the teachers vary with
the district by winch they are en-
ployed. The present system, some as
sett, has given rise to an unfair III
valry between schools.
In most of the districts the salary
rate is fixed by the school trustees
and in instances where the trustees
desire the services of teacher en-
ployed IN another district they offer
Il more attractive salary, with the re
suit that certain towns in the valley
have been accused of disrupting the
school faculties in various other towns.
No announcement has been made of
The equalization of salaries which l.
planned, although it is understood that
teachers whose salaries after the new
rate become effective are higher than
that rate will be reduced accordingly.
The inverse, it is said, will be true Of
teachers whose salaries will be below
that rate.
