of Ethiopia to show that if Italy is to be a first
rate world power she must secure special privileges
in Ethiopia. Why was the military advance of

What does the League of Nations mean when it

8th Grade Arithmetic

Find the equivalent single discount of a com-
mercial discount of 20-10-10, when such series
of discounts is given. What percent of the list
price, is the actual selling price?

What remittance will pay for a bill of goods
amounting to $131.50, if discounts of 10-5-2 are
allowed for immediate payment?

Bank Discount is the name applied to the fee
the bank charges the seller of a note to the bank.
It is another name for interest charged by the
bank for services rendered. If a 90-day note for
$500 with interest at 6% is sold to the bank 60
days after date, how long does the bank hold the
note before payment thereon is due? Who is
entitled to the interest for 90 days on $500 at
6%? In reality how much in addition to the $500
is the bank purchasing? Suppose the bank charges
the seller of the note 8% for services rendered,
what more than 8% interest on the amount of
$500 for 90 days at 6% interest is the bank en-
titled to collect from the seller of the note? What
amount will the seller of the note receive from
the bank the day he sells the note? What will

the. bank make on the transaction?

CURRENT EVENTS

The following are suggestive topics for study
and discussion. More detailed information can
be secured from textbooks, encyclopedia, diction-
aries, daily and weekly newspapers, magazines and
from radio news reports.

South Dakota Events

Hunting Season: What are the dates for legal
hunting of various game birds? Note local re-
ports of numbers of game birds. Study the ques-
tion in connection with this year’s YCL and 4-H
club projects on preservation of wild animal life.

Road Safety: Note reports of trends in auto-
mobile accidents. What effect does liquor have
upon these?

Sales Tax: Returns from the new sales tax
totals about a quarter million per month. How
is the money distributed?

Lewis & Clark: A tablet to these men was re-
cently dedicated on Farm Island near Pierre.
Why? Read the story of their expedition.

TB Cattle Tests: Marked progress is being
made in these tests. The Federal government is
interested. Why is the campaign important?

Last Man’s Club: Charles M. Lockwood, 93-
year old Civil War veteran recently died at Cham-
berlain, So. Dak. He was the last man of this
veteran’s club organized in 1885.

Conventions: Read reports of all types of con-
ventions held—district, county, regional and state.
Note resolutions adopted and actions taken.
These determine policies of organization and re-
veal public opinion regarding various problems.

National Events

Politics: Partisan maneuvers on state and na-
tional bases are in evidence. The party in office
—Democratic—defends what has been done and
the party out of office—Republican—criticizes
what has been done. The Republicans must choose
a candidate to run for the presidency; note what
newspapers say about various prospective can-
didates.

Hurricanes: Severe storms and hurricanes visit
southern Atlantic coasts at various seasons. Often
these are predicted hours in advance. How?

Presidential Trip: President Roosevelt made a
trip across country, and returned by way of the
Panama Canal. He made several important ad-
dresses. Of what significance were his trip and
addresses?

We'll be seeing you at Mitchell during the
SDEA convention. The dates are Nov. 24-27.
