Sank Centre this year has such well-balanced
team that there is real star, who scintllates in
every game, most teams have; so they have
candidate for aldistrict honors. The Main Street
ers have been so we'll drilled in teamwork that
they sometimes forget to shoot. Coach Kaslow's
five, however, determined to show the town
and visitors particularly the other teams that they
capable of playing real basketball, and are
going to prove worthy foe for any team entered.
This team is dangerous. Sometime, at the begin
ming of the tournament, we hope, it is going to
be innoculated with the victory germ, and push
old Man Defeat into the background. When it does,
we warn every team with championship aspirations
to be nightly careful.-From School Paper.

COMMUNITIES DEVELOP THROUGH EFF
GENT ELECTRIC POWER AND LIGHT SERVICE

Transmission Of electric power

With constant improvement OF
transmission these interconnected
plants and their transmission
system have become enormous
reservoirs Of power for all pur-
poses. Investment in idle or I'M

fectively reduced, and small
isolated plants have been replaced
with service from the more eff

been kept in service after being
connected with power transmits
sion lines 10 be used when need

Al all times the electric serv-
ice companies, such as the Cen
trail Power and Light Company,
that are progressing along the
best lines have been trying to
place themselves in position 70
supply large amounts Of power
at the highest degree of reliability
and at the lowest possible cost
consistent with good service.
This has been accomplished
throughout the territory served
By the Central Power and Light
Company and connecting the az
fiIiated companies BY linking gen
Grating plants together and build

energy from such plants to the
places wheer power is required.

Farms When Draft
Urged

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. o.
Nl-Ihe increasing momentum of
politics was evident around the
white House again today when one
OF President Coolidge's callers pro-
voked inquiries whether he was an
nouncing his candidacy for the Re-
publican presidential nomination
and another ran the risk Of receiv-
ing an executive scolding by de-
claring that he expected Mr.. Cool
idge TO be drafted next year.
Leaving the presidents private Of
flee, where he declared politics had
not been discussed, Senator Willis
Of Ohio issued a long statement ex-
pressing his views On virtually every
issue of interest TO the country. Re-
plying TO a question from a news
paperman as to whether il amount
ed TO an announcement Of presi-
Dental aspirations on his part, he
remarked, "The statement speaks for
ITSELF" and declined to be drawn
out.
The caller, who, as he described
himself placed in that class Of cul-
prits p~ersonofied by Senator Tess,
was Henry J. Allen, former gov
ernor of Kansas, who, when he told
Mr.. Coolidge that he expected him
to be drafted by the Republicans
next years received this reply: slow
are farm conditions in Kansas" Sen
ator Tess of Ohio, was rebuked sew
eral ddays ago by the president for
repeated predictions that Mr.. Cool
idge would be drafted.
The former Kansas governor de-
clared that he believed the presi-
dent entirely sincere when he IS

adding that some time in a mans
life, he must discriminate between
his personal wishes and the call OF

.STOCKSFALL;
LOSSES GREAT
Leading Shares Drop;
Heavy Liquidation
During Wild Day

NEW YORK, N. T., Oct. 22-LP)-
The New York stock market today
plunged through its fourth consecu-
tive session Of sinking prices. Ex-
IRENE drains of from 81 70 more
than 50 a share in some Of the high
priced issues and smaller recessions
elsewhere brought the loss in quoted
values to at least four billion dollars
below the high levels Of the year
established only a few weeks ago.
simultaneously, sharp breaks on
the curb market added millions more
to the aggregate drop in the market
value Of stocks.
Trading on the stock exchange was
unusually heavy for a Saturday half
holiday, agregating near a million
and a half shares. The ticker was
25 minutes late in reporting the final
transactions.
The confusion resulting was illus
trated by the case of Baldwin Loco
motive which staged a rally in the
last five minutes so spectacular that
the price was quoted on the tape at
S243 a share when it was actual
~ selling on the flood above S252.
The days liquidation Of that which
began in the week FASTENED by the
closing out of many weakened mar
gin accounts. With many issues 5
to $40 or more below their year peak
prices, margin calls had been nu-
merous, clearks in many brokers'
having spent most Of last night mali
ing and wiring out notices for addi-
tional collateral.
Many Of the ~so-called erich mans
shares" were whirled about violently
in the maelstrom Of trading. Hous-
ton Oil and Case Threshing Ma
chine each toboganned 50 a share, or
more, and drops of 50 to IS were
spread throughout the list. Such
recognized leaders as L. S. Steel and
General Mootrs were subject to cor
nous selling orders, both getting
down to $13S and 1875 Ii new low
prices on their current decline.

BRIGHT
Earl Carroll, Weeping,
Sees Broadway; May
Return TO Show

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 22.--tP-
.Teasse streaming from his eyes, Earl
Carroll came back today to Broad
way, sceen of both his rise and fall.
On the train that brought him
from Atlanta penitentiary where he
had just completed the minimum
part OF q years nsetence for perjury,
the producer had been unable 70 tell
what his feeling about returning 70
his former haunts was.
"How do you feel about getting
bac kto Broadway a reported asked
him.
Il really don't know" he replied
with a vague gesture Of passing n
hand across his eyes, Il haven't
grasped it yet. I'm still back there
In Atlanta. i haven't walked up"
But when the train came into the
Pennsylvania station and Carroll was
greeted by scores Of friends, among
them many actresses who had taken
: part in his productions and who
kissed him fervently, the theatrical
man gave definite evidence Of his
emotions. He stumbled to the plat
form weeping and mumbling, "Oh,
I'm SO glad to be back. I'm so glad
to be back"
During the last stage Of his train
/, journey Carroll told newspaper men
that he was not sure that he could
resume his theatrical work, but if
il turned out he could, he would stick
to his familiar brand of girl and
music revue and would not be turned
by his experience to more serious
types OF drama.
Carroll said he held no arimosity
toward anyone connected with his
conviction. He spoke Of Joyce Haw-
ley, the showgirl who told a grand
Jury she had not sat in a tub at a
party he gave and who later testi-
fled that she had sat there, as "mere-
ly one who played her part in a
comedy of errors"
Carroll answered all questions put
to him by reporters on the train,

During recent years the bulk Of
economies to users Of electric
service have come from building
more efficient generating plants
and the connection Of separate
power sources through transmits
sion lines, bringing about the ex-
change Of sudplus supplies OF

This movement involves the
grouping Of electrical generating
and transmission facilities TO

and reliability and in such man
ner as 10 offer inducements TO
industry and business TO take adj
vantage Of the other natural re-
cources that invite development.

the users Of electric service
through lower costs and promotes
the development of intervening

II provides for reductions in
the amount of serve equipment
to care for peak loads, thereby
reducing the amount Of invest
ment in plants.
II unites many diverse users Of

and thus permits employment of

This further reduces the cost Of
