S. 0. s. FOR TOYS
TO BEAT TARIFF
American Wholesale Houses
Placing Heavy Rush Orders
in Nuremberg.
BY GEORGE wITTE.

By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1871.
BERLIN, Germany, August o.
Nuremberg's toy industry is buster tnan
ever before as the result OF scores OF
urgent cables received daily from Amerl.
can wholesale houses and department
stores demanding that the large oroers
they placed in the latter part OF ldse
year and the first half of this year De
filled Immediately and that toys be de-
livered before the new tariff goes INTO
, effect"
Though it is impossible to obtain def
mite statistics because of the fear OF the
German toy makers that data showing
large quantities of toys exported 10 the
United States would arouse the ire or
American manufacturers, the writer mas
learned from reliable sources that many
shiploads of Nuremberg toys are on tne
way across the Atlantic and that many
more cargoeS will be shipped II Nurem-
berg can possibly fill the orders.
Reaction Will Follow.
But after the present boom Industrial
leaders informed me when L saw them
in Nuremberg, there will be a natural
reaction. Business will be slack, as the
tariff will practically cut off American
orders. France and Spain have also
raised the tariff so high as to make the
trade with those countries negilgibie.
the foreign trade.
American competition has made big
inroads into NurerbergS toy business
in South America-another fact whlch
will tell on the toy city's' industry
In Germany, however, there Is a mucn
larger demand for Nuremberg's prod
ucts than at any other time since 1915,
proving that the average German Is
firm in his faith that toys exercise

dustries, one notices in the toy IN
dustry a tendency to produce palmer
simpler and cheaper goods, toys de
luxe being made only for exporting
purposes.
Low Wages Paid.
Wages in the toy industry have
been kept down in comparison with
those in other industries. and as re-
suit many of the employees in the toy
factories are children and elderly men
and women. The average worker gets
only from eight to ten times as mucii
as he got before the war, while 1000
prices have gone up more than I,ioU
discomfort among the workers. and the
factory owners fear that the employees
may take advantage of the heaVy de,
mand for toys and ask increased
wages on penalty of a strike ~ re-
fused-a development which would
greatly delay the big orders from the
United States
1t is generally pointed out here that
there is no possibility that the toy or
any other industry in Germany Will
be able to follow the American ana
English example of cutting wages ana
thus be in position to export German
goods to the United States cheapiy IN
spite of the high tariff. AS the result
of numerous taxes and other overhead
expenses which must be paid by Ger
man industries prices will keep on
going up and not down. and conse-
ouently it is feared that exports TO
most countries will decrease instead
of increasing.

WORST STORM OF YEAR

The worst storm Of the year was eX-
~perienced last Saturday evening when
the temperature dropped suddenly and
a high gale rOse quickly carrying with
il hard pellets Of ice and now thai
made it very unpleasant to be out
doors. The damage incurred in the
city was not great, the birds probably
suffering the worst for they were
caught entirely unawares and many
were killed in the storm. The train
service was almost entirely paralyzed
because of a bad stretch Of track near
Lake Preston which was washed out.
The train from the west was obliged
10 detOur by way Of Watertown in
order to reach Brookings. The storm
was cry severe at Watertown and
the snow was $ deep in many places
that trains could not break through.
Sunday, however, the washout at Lake
Preston was repaired and the trains
resumed the usual schedule Monday
morning.
While the storm cauSed considerable
inconvenience, ii is generally cOnsid-
cred TO be a fine thing to put the
ground in a good moist condition to
start a bumper crop. The total pre-
cipitation according to government
weather observers was nearly two
inches, and practically all of this mois-
ture was absorbed into the soil. There
was less m in this vicinity than in
the more northern parts of the state.
In southern Minnesota the storm as
sumed the proportions Of a tornado
and did yer damage in two small
towns.

STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade yer the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was irregular. Easter buying
swells retail and jobbing trade in
wearing apparel. Women's and chill
dren's veal lead. Print cloths, ging-
hams and wash goods active, but the
yarns and staple cottons weak. Wool
q~uieter and imports enormous. Int
provement in other lines very moder-
ate. Building materials, seeds, autos
and accessories, machine tools and re-
pair parts of implements show more
activity. Big basic lines spotted, but
a little more cheerfulness noted IN
steel. Time money shows little sign
of permanent ease. Lower prices ex
plain some decrease in foreign and
domestic trade volume. Commodity
prices not greatly changed and food
index a shade higher. Crop reports
good. Weather favorable. Clearlngs
show declines.

CITY WATER PURIFIED

The new ~chlorinization plant has
been installed at the pumping station
of the municipal water supply system
and was put into operation on Monday
SO that 0 and hereafter citizens
may feel safe in drinking city water
without danger of contracting serious
diseases. The plant costing about
$500 was installed by Tom Norby of
the Brookings Construction Co. 1t is
connected directly with the pumps SO
that at each stroke Of the pump the
proper amount of chlorine gas is in
jected into the water supply. The
chlorine method of treating drinking
water is recognized everywhere as
the best process. During the war, the
chlorine treatment was used extern
siyely by both the army and navy
for all water supplies used by the
troops, with excellent results. 1t
leaves no noticeable taste in the water.

MONDAY NIGHT
STARTLING DISCLOSURES At INQUEST
Whole Story of Nights Adventure
Brought Out BY C%oroner's
investigation.

Moonshine, auto ride and then the
undertaken is the story Of the sad trag-
edy near Elkton last Monday night
when Glenn Roberts was killed IN
stantly when the automobile which
ne was driving overturned in a ditch
pirning him underneath and throwing
him with such force that his head
broke through the thick ice covering
The water in the bottom Of The d ten.
The victim o. the accident .aS a young

ter.
The first word Of the accident was
received here Tuesday morning when
Coroner Bert Rude was called to Elk
ton. At noon States Attorney c. O.
Trygstad and Sheriff John Nolan were
summoned to Elkton by the coroner
to hold the inquest. The whole story
of the accident was told BY the wit
nesses at the inquest. From h evil
dence it appeared that on Monday
evening about 700 o'clock Glenn
Roberts, Frank Cassidy and George
Lung went for a ride in a Ford going
over INTO Minnesota and stopped at
the farm home of Levi L~undergreen,
about two miles west of Lake Benton
where they procured some mOonshine.
They returned to Elkton about 800
D. m. According to the testimony they
drank about a quart of liquor. Later
in the evening Glenn Roberts and
George Lung set out again in the car,
going first to Lake Benton and stopped
at the dance pavilion a little while,
and then going back to Lundergreens
and got another quart of moonshine.
On their return to Elkton about a quar-
ter Of a mile from the state line the
car upset, throwing Lung to the right
side and Roberts to the left into the
ditch with the car On top. Lungs
right leg was caught under the car
but he managed to extricate himself.
He ~endeavored to get Roberts out from
in under the car but was unable to
do it. He hen ran to the nearest
farm house, that Of w. c. Bolte, and
hitching up a team they went to the
scene of the accident and with the aid

INDOOR A MEET

The first athletic event of the
spring season will be an outdoor track
meet by Brookings high school at the
college armory Friday evening Of this
week. Coach Armstrong announces
that the events will be divided into
two classes based on the weight Of
the contestants. Especially exciting
will be the 40-yard dash. Other events
are the century dash, 220, 440, half
mile and mile races, and high jump.
Track prospects for the high school
are very good this year. Sundet, Hal
vorson and Ryger, big stars Of last
year, are out in suits again this
spring. Blakeslee is showing up good
in the distances and will be a strong
contender this spring. Haywood IS
also doing well. Lein, Sherman and
Kendall will be running mates with
Sundet and Ryger in the dashes. In
the field events there are some IN
usually strong candidates. In the high
jump Hutchendorf, Johnson, Ryger,
Wilson and Olson are clearing consid-
cradle height. Sundet, Lein and En-
right are out for the broad jump. In
the weights Sundet, Gill, Flittie, Bul-
lis, Swenson, Enright and Johnson are
promising candidates.

WANT TO CHANGE NAME

A campaign will 500 begin in this
state to change the name from South
Dakota to Roosevelt. The campaign
was begun by the Chamber Of Com
merce OF Mitchell. The name Roose-
welt was chosen because that great
American spent a part of his early
manhood in this state and always had
a keen regard for the welfare Of this
state. The name Lincoln was pro-
posed but it has been appropriated
for the proposed new state of Idaho
and Washington. The movement is
not destined to get very far, for it
will be opposed on every hand and is
an action without precedent.
Reasons for the campaign are that
more than 80 bank failures in North
Dakota following crop failures in that
state have been attributed to South
Dakota where only three state banks
have failed in five years; that the eli
mate Of South Dakota is radically
different and far superior to that Of
North Dakota; that the farming in
dustry in South Dakota Is pre-emi-
nently the raising Of corn and live
stock while that Of North Dakota Is
confined almost entirely to small
grain; and that Of the two
states are widely different in char
acter.
