British remittances to mount to their

There was partial readjustment of

the shorts to cover in rails and oils.
The net results. however, revealed a
mixture of gains and losses. Sales
amounted to $4,000 shares.

the only change of interest being the
greater firmness of call loans at per

NEW HERE

Brookings has a new factory which
began work this week. The Cornell
Electric Company began the manu-
facture of electric baseball score
boards Monday in the rear part Of
the new Wyckoff garage which they
have partitioned off making a very con-
v%enient and comfortable workshop.
The framework for thirty of the pat
ented electric boards is being rapidly
turned out in the shop at present by
F. H. Carlson. Electric supplies are
being rushed in to complete them as
rapidly as possible and have them
ready for delivery. L. d. Cornell. the
inventor, states that there is a large
demand for the boards now that the
baseball season is about to open so
that all the boards will be sold as
fast as they are completed. The fac
tory expects to keep running full blast
all summer. Mr.. Cornell has demon
strated his board with success in the
cities and many theater have
placed orders with him for a board.
The factory is turning out three diff
ferent models, n baby size, one reg
ular type, and an extra large type.

LIGHT PROBLEM SERIOUS

Realizing that steps must be taken
ut once to enlarge the capacity of the
municipal power plant and replace old
worm out machinery to meet the ever
increasing demands made upon it fOr
"lectric light, power and heat, the
Commercial Club Of Brookings will
TAX up the matter at their next meet
ing Friday evening, April g., at the
city hall, according to a statement is
Sued by President A. +. Grimm. The
power plant at the present time is
greatly overworked and has beer run
ming on a considerable overload for
a year or more, which is rapidly wear
ing out the machinery and threatens
% break down under the strain at any
moment. The boilers, some of which
are yer twenty years old, waste huge
quantities of coal and are unsafe to
use. With the completion of the new
high school building a very great de-
mand for more heat and light will be
made upon the already overloaded
plant, and it is agreed by experts that
It will be impossible to meet this de-
mand with the present power plant.
In addition to the matter Of the
power plant, the club will listen TO
an address by Prof. NJ. r. Benedict
of the extension department of State
college, who will speak on the new
m q I'll ptir r1on o. dny-nlnnnnd nv tho
committee of seventeen Of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation. Mr.. Ben
edict attended a meeting of the organ
ization in Chicago this week and will
be able to give the information first
hand to the members Of the club.
