HARLOWN S 'as Word Recei ved Uha adlown.EtoithT School Is Now ou tgh Accrditei List of Mountan Schools F Professor Johnson has just re ceived a lett< r from State Superin tendent Davee that the State Board of Education, at its meeting on December 22nd, placed the Harlowton High School on the ae~ credited list. This means that students, from .the Harlowtonhigh can, .upon the proper showing of credits, enter any state institution of higher ed ucation without further .xamnina tion. _ This move.should be instru mental. in. working up a mulch greater interest in the school, bothb on the part of the students and the patrons of the school and also ii crease class interest. Harlowton already has .great °reason to be proud of its highb school and with this added adlvan tage it will no doubt become the center of much more interest in other parts of the county.

Under the new currency law the bank's future is indeed very bright as that law will allow national banks to loan money on real estate i up to ffteen per cent of their capi tal and surplus.
