HUNDRED THOUSAND FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

South Dakota will lead all the
states of the union in the pro-
duction of new wealth by boys
and girls club members for 1921,
in all probability, according to P.
J. Scarbro, state club leader in the
state college extension service.
South Dakota club members stood
first during the calendar years of
1919 and 1920. The 1921 report is
now being made up at Washington.
This years record, according to
the state leader, is on par with
the achievement of the two pre-
vious years, considering the slump
in the value of farm products.
The 459 organized clubs in the
state, with an enrolment of 5507
boys and girls, reported total
production for 1921 of S209,381 "a

following projects: Corn, potato,

the sewing demonstration. They

" Tax. and What Part
Each Receives

SO much has been said about the
taxes of late that we believe the
people Of Haakon county will be
interested in knowing just where
the money goes. There is pro-
test against the taxes. and people
claim they arc unable to pay them.
There is also demand on the part
Of the taxpayer for reduction Of
the taxes, which means that some
Of our institutions must run at
less expense. There is an argu-
ment as to whether this shall be
the state, county. municipal or the
schools. Only a very small part Of
the tax levied goes to the state, SO
that if there is to be any great
reduction it must be made nearer
to home.
Consequently we secured the fol-
lowing figures from the office of
the county auditor which shows
