COUNTY SCHOOL
BOARD RULING
INSTITUTION NAL BE ESTAB-
LISHED In TOWN OF LESS
THAN 1,5OO.

Pierre, March 18.-In an opinion
given by Atty Gen. Byron s. Payne,
there is nothing in the laws of South
Dakota to prevent a county high
school being located in a town which
does not have a population of 1900
and also that in case two county
high schools are petitioned for to be
located at different points, one board
of county school directors will ad-
minister the affairs of both schools.
The opinion is rendered at the re-
quest of the Custer county authori-
ties in which it is stated that there
is at the present time a high school
with an accredited four-year course
located in the town of Custer where
one petition asks that county high
school be located. 1t is also stated
that so per cent of the qualified elec-
tors ask for county high school at
one town and 20 per cent ask for
such school to be located at another
place.
In part the attorney general says:
''It is our view that where the
electors of a county create county
high school, that such high school
district embraces the entire territory
of the county except such territory as
may be included within an independ-
ent consolidated school district or a
citl having a population of 1900 OF
more and that the same constitute
one school district. The county high
school board provided for by law Is
the only board provided for in case
county high school is established
and in case two county high schools
are petitioned for the affairs of the
district are administered by one
school board.

MANY SIGNS POINT
TO TRADE ADVANCE
Increase i'm Demand for Funds
and Higher Interest Rates
Among Indications.

There has been a change recently In
the direction of the movement OF sew
eral Important indices of credit condi-
tions, according to the Monthly Revie,o
of Credit atd Business Conditions Is
sued by the Federal Reserve agent, Fed
erai Reserve Bank of New York.
The Reutcu says:
Interest rates have grown firmer and
havs risen fractionally. The CONNER
cial loans OF banks. which had been
diminy yshing In volume for nearly two
years, have Increased In New York city
and in all reporting cities. Federal Re-
serve Bank loans to member banks have
increased nearly $60,000,000 in few
weeks. and note circulation nearly
500, 100000.
.'These changes all indicate an In
crease in the demand for funds. which,
whilc 1t caincides' In time with the sea-
sonaI needAi of agriculture. is more prob
ably reelection of more fundamental
activity in the business and industrial
life of the country.
! "As long ago as the summer of 1921
forces were set in motion in business
and industry, which have gained inn
petus slowly but steadily. and at last
have begun to make themselves felt in
the increasing use of bank credit Tor
commercial purposes.
"In practically every one OF the basic
industries the current rate OF produc-
tion is far in excess Of the rate q year
ago. In mttst Of them the Improvement
in the past a,ew months has been steady.
"a general increase In factory opera
tions in thi,t district is shown by the
records of the number OF workers en-
ployed in fact ,ories. These may be taken
as typical Of the changes when nave
taken place IN Factory employment
throughout the, country.
."rhe total movement Of freight by
rail has been largely affected by the
coal strike, as boal constitutes normally
about as per ce Mt. Of the total rail move
ment. but SO gr Eat has been the increase
in the moven, int Of merchandise and
miscellaneous pods this year. that the
decrease in bal 1oadings has been
largely offset.
."The total vol lnme OF checks drawn. as
reflected in figures collected by the Fed
eral Reserve banks showing the debts to
Individual accounts. are good index OF
the activity of trade and industry.
"Along with greater activity in busi-
ness has gone an increase In prices. In
the light of the ID creases shown by these
various indices Of business activity, it
now seems probable that the recent rise
in interest rates and in the commercial
loans Of banks. hiis a deeper origin than
the usual temporary demands OF the
autumn"
