an outlet of at least $500. 100000
of pancr of the farmers and ranch

LOCAL CREDIT CORPORATION
IS NOW A GOING CONCERN


Last week The Jackson County
Agricultural Credit Corporation
was organized at Kadoka for the
purpose of taking advantage of
the provisions Of the Federal In
termediate Credit Bank law. The
intermediate Credit Bank was
created under an amendment to
the Federal Farm Land Bank Law
and is operated in connection with
the Federal Lard Banks, TACT
March 18th, 1923, and l.; very new
thing.
1t appears that in other localities
where the pcople have taken ad-
vantare of this law a great meas
ure of relief has been afforded to
the financial conditions in such
communities. Under the provi-
sions of this law Chattel loans
are made TO the new organiza-
tion which in turn re-discounts the
loans with the Federal Intcrmedi-
ate Credit Bank at Omaha. The
rate Of interest to the borrowers
is seven percent. Each borrower
takes out stock in the Credit Cor
poration to the amount Of five Der
cent Of the loan made him. This
is similar to thtc arrangement in
the Land Bank loans.
The loans are all inspccted by
inspectors sent ont by the Inter-
mediate Credit Bank at Omaha
The security must consist Of
cattle. sheen. hoes. grain, feed and
hav. 1t is hoped that by means Of
this new ORGANIZATION It will be
possible to take up and refinance
eror-Th lonns to greatly relieve
the pressure on the cor,mrnitv
ard the local banks and business

The returns from the sale OF
seals and health bonds are still
coming in. Several school boards
have sent in checks and warrants
for the bonds. The Cottonwood
Ind. School Dist. is the first and at
present the only one to return
the bond which was sent to all
school boards at the beginning Of
the drive. Several teachers have
reported large sales Of seals. The
entire list OF returns will be avail
able by March lst it is hoped.
At the conference of the County
Superintendents Of the Black Hills
division of the state. held in Ra-
pid City last week. there were n
good many discussions of educa-
tional problems.
Mr.. Guhin. Director of Rural
School Work, gave an interesting
discussion Of the examination cur
We which he thinks should be prac-
ticaliy uniform throughout the
state. He believes that the mimi
mum amount Of failure in the final
eight grade examination should be
about ~ per cent while the maxi
mum should be about 35 per cent.
He based this outline on the fact
that in no school. in the state is
there less than eight months term
of school and similarity in every
rural school there is a maximum
average of nine months. All
things considered he feels that we
should be able to establish a re-
cord which shall indicate the class
of work done in the rural schools
of the various counties. Last year
he showed that the failures were
all the way from = per cent to 90
per cent in the various counties.
Mr.. Shaw discussed the Sterling.
Hughes Towner Education Bill and
while no formal action was taken
by the superintendents the bell
met with the approval OF the
group.
It may be Of interest to teachers
and parents to know that the
eighth grade examinations will be
given on Nav 1928 this year.
At an informal meeting OF the
assembled superintendents the fol-
lowing resolution was drawn up:
County Superintendent. J. M.
Woods and family went to Wan
blee to attend district teachers
institute last Saturday. He re-
ports a very enthusiastic meeting
with the following teachers pres.
ent: Miss Mendenhall and Mrs
