BANANA BELT WEATHER

Since the first of December Brook,
ings and vicinity has basked in mild,
warm ,sunshiny weather such as no
other state in the union can boast OF
at this time Of year. The thermome-
ter has rarely been below freezing
since the first Of the month and on
Monday reached 81 degrees above
zero. The high mark for the four pre-
ceding days were As, 43, Al and AZ,
and at on time did the mercury fall
below 18. This beats the record of
last year which was considered the
mildest experienced in these parts for
many years. The highest temperature
recorded during the month Of Deem
Der, 1920, was AT, which vas seven
degrees colder than the weather we
had lost Monday. 1t is time South
Dakota was advertising itself for it's
mild winters of all the undesirable
publicity it has received in recent years
on the strength Of fierce billiards and
other unpleasant weather conditions.
1t is as great a pleasure to live in
South Dakota during the winter as it
is during the summer.

ception Of Schultz, all the letter men
of the strong cage team of last year
which won the state championship.
Other strong candidates are Cherry

STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade ove the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was irregular. Retail trade ex
pands, while wholesale trade in most
lines shrinks. Holiday buying and
cool weather help in northern markets.
Southern trade drags. Retail buying
best among big stores. Small retail
ers complain. Approach of inventory
holds back buying. Stocks of goods
reported small. Industry quieter and
collections slower. Fuel trades feel eff
feet of unreasonable weather. Brad
streets monthly price index lower
after five successive advances. Meas
ures of industrial movement in Novem'
Der vary sharply. Seasons advance
curtails new building, but big gain still
shown over 1920. Pig iron and steel
output and wool consumption still gain
ing. Continued cheerful tone in finan-
cial lines. Exchange rates gaining.
Small decrease from year ago in clear
ings due to shrinkage in last years
totals. Failures heaviest since 1915.
