Brookings was left in darkness a
short time Tuesday night due to the
vagaries Of an automatic valve on the
new boiler at the power plant. This
valve is an emergency device which
automatically shuts off all of the steam
in case something should go wrong
Tuesday night without any apparent
reason this valve shut off the steam
and stopped the engine. The engi
neers were unable to open it and i,
was necessary to fire the other boiler
to keep the engines going. Such
things are likely to occur with a new
outfit Of machinery that is strange
to the operators, so 1t Is not to the
discredit of the engineers at the power
plant. They will soon have the new
mechanism mastered and when the
new generating unit is installed Brook
ing will have better lighting service
than they ever had before.

field. The final score was 13 to 6 in
favor of the local team. The weather
was d~isagreeable and the field was in
poor shape, so neither team was able
to show much speed. A feature Of the
game was the scoring of two drop kicks
by WEIGH, captain Of the Madison team.
Had it not been for his exceptional
kicking ability, Madison would not
have scored. The attendance at the

in history and everyone enjoyed the
fun.

cert in Denver. The possibilities of
radio are almost unbelievable and the
remarkable results achieved by George
Haywood have attracted a great deal
of interest among the people of Brook
ings. The receipt of wireless music
from Pittsburgh is almost a long dis
lance record. 1t is possible that ev.
eral more wireless receiving sets will
be installed in Brookings by persons
interested. The high school will prob
ably install an outfit, which would give
a fine opportunity for a large number
to take part dn this fascinating work.

Are You a "Wisher"

Many people go through life wishing"
While others start saving and then get
the good things that the other people
wish" for.
In which class are you? Get in the saw
ing class. It's easy. A dollar starts you
at this bank. We will pay interest on
your savings no matter how small they
may be. Before long you'll have enough
to be really proud of.
Life is cruel. 1t hasn't much time for the
"Wisher." But to the person who is
backed by a little capital the world opens
the doors of opportunity.
Start saving now. That one thing takes
you out of the wishing" class and puts
you in the "having" class.

RALSTON ASKS
FOR NEGRO VOTE

Negro voters were advised to fall in
line with a great many white Repub-
licans who, he said, are going to vote for
him, 10y Boyd M. RalstoE, Democratic
nominee for mayor, in speeches last eve
ming. Since negroes work for Demo
Gratis, there is DO reason why they should
not vote for Democrats, the candidate
declared.
His pledges Of clesn, economical ad-
ministration were renewed and charges
which he said his enemies have made
were denied. His efforts to organize a
plan Of financing the installation Of san
itary equipment required by the anti
open vault ordinance, were pointed out
as an example of the kind Of service
he hopes to Shower" upon the people
for four years.
Denying that he is a rent prohteer, Mr..
Ralston said he happens to be in the real
estate business and merely acts as the
rental agent Of property owners and that
If rents are raised it is because the own
ers direct it. He said there is likely to
be further increase in rents.
He described what he termed attempts
to incite race prejudice on the part Of
his rivals and denied that Sam Perrott
will be appointed chief Of police II the
Democrats win.

Edison Fears Con.plexity
May Bring World Collapse

complexity is rising rapidly whereas our
ability to cope with the problems of COM
plexity is increasing only very slowly
Then Edison uttered the sentence that
shows the fear that shadows his mind.
FEARS RESULTS
FIFTY YEARS HENCE.
II don't know what will happen to us
in fifty years." said he, "if this thing
keeps on"
Edison apparently believes we could
pull our way out II we would, but he
seems not optimistic over the prospect
that we will. A card on wall In his
laboratory tells the story Of his doubts.
1t is sentence from the writings OF
Sir Joshua Reynolds, reading:
There is no expedient to which a
man will not resort to avoid the real
labor of thinking"
REYNOLDS was right" said Edison.
Thinking is the hardest thing In the
world for those who have not formed
the habit. After one has formed the
habit 1t is not SO hard.
THINKING is
MERELY A HABIT.
"In business affairs, the tendency is
to escape thinking. In the board OF d.
rectors In a great corporation, the man
with the glibest tongue Is likely TO
swing the rest simply because they do
not want to take the trouble to think
out problems for themselves"
1t is a strange thing that really great
men never seem to think that the things
they do are great. Edison says it is not
so hard to think when one has formed
the habit. Edison told of a problem
brought to him by a concern OF inter
national reputation. He saw the cause
Of the difficulty that troubled them.
81 saw 1t as plain as day" he said,
"and tried my best to make them see 1t,
but I don't believe they saw it." The
talk lead to autocrats. Edison said;
IAN autocrat is the best kind Of man
to run an industry or a Government p
provided he is q good autocrat. But
there is just about as much chance TO
find a good autocrat when you are look
ing for one as there is a chance that
lightning will strike you. That is why
our form of government, slow as II is, Is
the best. A good autocrat would give us
better government, but It probably would
be a long while between good autocrats.

BIG STRUGGLE
LOOMS IN BEER
AND WINE SALE
Sterling Anti-Beer Bill Faces
Hard Fight in

Special to Indiana Daily Times

BY ROBERT BARRY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ga new and
Intense struggle over the sale of beer
and wine in the United States appears in
prospect as the aftermath of the publ
cation Of the long-awaited regula lions
governing the use Of those beverages for
medicinal purposes
Senate opposition 70 passage Of the
Sterling anti-beer bill has stiffened per-
ceptably. There is every indica ton Of a
protracted tilibuster if need be to fore
stall action on the legislation. The little
group OF Senators who have blocked every
effort to pass the bill have been in con-
ference to the end that a new mustering
OF forces might result in indefinite de-
lay. Their purpose Is to retain for the
sick and convalescent" the benefits OF
malt and vinuous tonics.
MANUFACTURE ONCE
BEGUN HARD TO STOP.
Back Of the announced purpose of the
opposition is a belief that once the man
ufacture and sale of beer and wine OF
any scale is sanctioned, the prohibition
forces will have a real fight on theiI
hands to Danish them.
Eager for some peg On which to hans
positive gain in reaction against the
drastic nature Of the Volstead act. the
enemies Of the Sterling bill are deter
mined to allow the treasury regulations
for the sale of beer and wine on doctors
prescriptions to have a full chance.
The PRONUNCIATION of the beer and wine
regulations had the effect of intensif ying
the demand Of the dry forces for prompt
passage of the Sterling bill They LEI

legislation before any real strides had
been made toward general use of beer

(From the Monthly Letter Issued by
The National City Bank of
New York for OctOber)

The end of September discloses
signs of improvement in the business
situation, and while for the most part
they relate to seasonal conditions
some of the changes are indicative OF
a gradual restoration of the Industrial
equilibrium which is necessary to per
manent prosperity.
The shoe industry and the cotton
and WOODEN goods Industries are now
generally active. Raw cotton has ad.
vanced in a little over a month from
about IL cents per pound to about 20
cents, and this has put strength into
the goods market and encouraged buy.
ing.
Cotton goods, however, have not
advanced to correspond with raw cot
ton. and although the mills having
stocks of II and IL cent raw material
on hand are able to work them up and
sell the goods, the pinch will come
when they have to buy cotton at the
new quotations and advance the price
of goods accordingly.
Retail merchants are vigorously op-
posing advances in all textiles and
insisting that lower prices are neces-
sary to create a good volume OF trade.
The situation is unsettled, with opin-
ion spreading that costs must be re-
duced both in the manufacture of
cloth and in the garment trades.
In many lines there is a stir of in
creased activity, attributable to fall
trade. Crop moving is not, however,
affording the normal stimulus. owing
in part to the low prices of farm prod
ucts and in part to the fact that the
proceeds are going largely to pay old
