PAGE THREE To Fit South Dakota Business, To War Effort Gear Up Program To Keep Step With Farm Production To Uphold Big Gains Made In 1941; Steel For Radical Changes In Living And Business Methods (Editor's Note: This is the second of two articles prepared by the Greater South Dakota Association pointing out 1942 agricultural and business prospects for the state on the basis of 1941 indexes and in the light of the war effort.) South Dakota's business, industry and mining is governed today by the demands of America's war effort. Every state merchant, professional man, manufacturer, miner, salesman md distributor is a partner in the government's anti-Axis campaign.

To some it will be a boon those manufacturers that have secured defense contracts but to others it will mean real sacrifices, such as processors of steel products, and automobile, tire, typewriter and some machinery dealers are now making. South Dakotans have steeled themselves to radical shifts in methods of living and doing business, but the same time they are going at to hold, wherever they can, the big gains they made along the comeback road in 1941. Business-like Approach Business lenders point out that while the state's entire resources have been placed at the disposal of Uncle Sam for the duration, a strict- -Variety--The Spice Of Clerk's Life DE SMET, Feb. 26--(Special) --Many and varied are the duties of a clerk of courts of today is the opinion of John Mac- Ardaragh county clerk.

Deposits win South Dakota's member banks in the federal reserve system went up 15.8 per cent in "the samt period. Mines Show Increase Preliminary figures of the Federal bureau of mines set 1941 production of gold and silver from the state's 68 mines at $21,475,993, an increase of more than $818,000 over 1940, and, in addition, the mining of feldspar, bentonite and numerous other minerals was stepped up at the defense program created new markets. (For example, 892 cars of ben- tonite were shipped out of Belle Fourche in 1939, and 984 in 1940. But in 1941,. bentonite shipments totaled 1,630 cars.

It has been reliably specific problems on the home front will be their biggest contribution to tha war effort until called for specific defense work. Business and industry must be geared to facilitate in every, way sible the increased agricultural production goals sought in this essentially agricultural state, and 1941 was a year that lends itself well as a springboard from which these objectives can be reached. Wholesale and retail sales, new construction, mine production and manufacturers' output opened new channels of wealth in South Dakota last year, matching forward strides with agriculture and reflecting its gains. Here is a once-over some 1941 business indexes in South Dakota: 14 Per Increase A composite average of 10 business barometers in December showed the general business conditions in the state 14 per cent better than in the same month of 1940 and bank debits, representing payments for goods, service and debts, jumped from $611,627,000 in 1940 to 5747,147,000 in 1941 at 17 'of the state's largest The cumulative sales stores in South Dakota were 116 per cent of the 1940 total a five to nine point BACKACHE, LEG FAINS MAY BE DANGER SIGN Of Tired your ItWnoys nwcjI attention.

Valuation of construction in-these eight cities was estimated at in 1941 as against $3,175,000 in 1940 with major industrial, business and public building projects chiefly responsible for the increase. A calendar year summary of retail sales, use and ore tax collections by the state division of taxation showed receipts of $6,589,372 for 1941--a drop of only $103,329 from 1940 despite a cut from three to two per cent in the retail sales tax on July 1. -All Time High South Dakota's tourist travel hit an all-time high in 1941, showing a 30 per cent gain over 1940 when the number of visitors was estimated at 3,250,000 and the total of their expenditures within the state at $35,000,000. A total of $21,280,000 in life insurance was written, an increase of over $2,000,000 in one year, and in the same period non-farm real estate foreclosures dropped from 233 to State residents paid $3,498, 438 in all tax categories to the internal revenue department--54.
