BEST TOYS ARE

MAILS ARE THE PRODUCT OF

TAUGHT FROM CHILDHOOD
Little; Ones in the Fatherland are First

tories to the Front.

Before the American factories be-
gan to supply Kris Kingle with his
numerous toys for distribution among
the good little boys and girls on Christ
mas day, the cherry faced old king of
the north was provided with little
wooden animals by the peasants of
Germany. In spite of the fact that
the toy shops occupy the attention OF
the public for only few weeks in each
year, the toy industry is among the
greatest in the land. Up until short
time ago Germany led all other coun-
tries in the production Of Christmas
delights. but the United States is fast
coming into it's own in the matter OF toy
manufacture. The great factories in
this country are proving to be too
great competition for the peasants
OF the foreign countries. There is an
exception to this rule, however In the
wooden animals, the weird-looking oc-
cupants of Noah's ark and other
strange forms of the animal kingdom.

Children Learn When Young.
The peasant children are taught to
make toys from the time they are able
to walk. They commence by making
little rolling pins or some such simple
continuance. It is life work with them
and they follow 1t the whole year
round Representatives OF wholesale
houses come around at certain periods
Of the year and buy their products.
The toys they make are the best that
can be procured because they take so
much pains with them, yet they are
bought at ridiculously low prices. A
full barnyard set with an array Of half
a dozen different varieties Of animals,
will net the maker about four cents.
It can be purchased in Ottumwa for
fifteen cents.
The more substantial articles, such
as wash sets, furniture, hobby horses,
ETC., are nearly all made In the
United States. That is, the local con-
sumption in these lines are made at
home. Nearly all the metal toys are
also made in this country. That is be-

SAYS COUNTRY is
IN NEED OF REST
;AGREEs WITH PRESIDENT THAT
TARIFF COMMISSION is NEEDED
BUT SAYS BUSINESS NEEDS
TIME TO CATCH BREATH.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 15.-Senatol
Young Of Iowa made his maiden speech
IN the senate today. While agreeing
that tariff revision Is necessary, Young
refused to endorse the Cummins pro
posAl to amend the rules Of congress
TO bring such a thing to pass He
called ,on the republicans pledged to
revision to accomplish all they can by
March 4, and then to subside with
their agitation and give the country
her to state his belief that the farmer
was receiving too much for his pro-
ducts. He declared it had been init
mated the middle man was getting too
great q share of the value Of farm
products. II this be true" he de-
manded, "Why strike at the producer?
why not 60 after the middle man."
He then cited the fact that when the
tariff act put petroleum on the free
list the rehneries reduced the price of
crudesoi and continued the high price
OF refined Oil to the consumer He
didn't want to see this performance re-
,peated in the case of farm products.
critleises cummlns' Plan.
Young urged the acceptance of the
present tariff and that the country be
permitted to transact business. He
I vored the revision Of the tariff in
scientific way as suggested by the
president. Were revision to be started
by attacking one schedule at a time
and preventing amendment to that
farm products he said prob
ably would be first considered. Then
the south, the far west and New Eng
land would unite in attacking the agri-
cultural states and the latter would be
helpless. Because of this
possibility he hoped the Cummins pro-
position would not be accepted.
Il am surprised Also he declared
that my colleague, who been fighting
to unshackle the members of the house
from the tyranny of the rules, should
to bring the same shackles
into the senate Yet my distinguished
colleague seeks to make it impossible
for me to defend the only products Of
our home people.

satisfied with the tariff, tie senator de-

cause the factories here are equal. II
not superior, to the German factories,
and there Is no duty to pay on them;
Duty Figures High.
The question of duty brings out an
other point in the toy industry. The
German "childer' receive much finer
presents for Christmas than their
cousins, the American Riddles" and
all because the import duty Is 50 high.
It practically prohibits the very finest
toy products from being sold in this
country, and 1t goes without saying
that the best there is, is made in
Germany, the birthland Of toys.
The next qestion Is, where do all
the brilliant ideas come from which
result in marvellous array Of strictly
new toys each year? It is true thatsthe
factories employ designers who devote
their entire time to designing new
toys. But the more radical ones come
from geniuses in different parts of the
country who work out new ideas and
have them patented. The nnanufactur-
ers keep a tab on the new patents that
are taken out and If they run across
an item that appeals to them, the; In
