More than OOOO, 900 will be spent
by the American public for toys in
1920, according to the prediction of
Homer STEPHENS, president of the
American Toy Exhibitors, in COM
menting ON the recent birth and rap
id growth Of the new industry in this
country. "The first attempt of Amer
lean manufacturers to compete with
the Germans in the making Of dolls
was hardly IL years ago." Stephens
said. "Since then our doll industry
had grown until at the present time
three of the American doll manufac-
turers make more dolls in one year
than all the manufacturers of Ger
many ever made in the same length
of time for Importation to the United
States. "The old toy phrase made In
Germany, will soon be changed to
made in America because all parts
of the world are now realizing Ameri-
cas- supremacy in this new field. "Big
distributors in every country except
Russia and Germany have visited our
new toy fair in New York and have
made purchases. In 1911 about $10,-
100000 worth of toys were imported
from Germany and about $125,00O
were manufactured here. Americans
have Just awakened to the fact that
toys made in the United States are
not ornamentary like the old German
toys, but are constructive and educa-
tional-that is why America has given
birth to and is rearing wen its new
found industry.

The political party in power is ev-
er the party to be criticised and, if
possible, belittled. The Democratic
party is the present target at which
all others shoot and President Wilson
is the bulls eye. The most disgusting
piece of humanity we can find these
days is the false alarm Democrat who
goes around with a long face telling
other Democrats that the Democratic
party will not elect it's next ticket. A
real Democrat, when he sizes up what
the Democratic party has achieved, he
cannot help but be proud of his par
ty and its accomplishments.
Prosperity of Missouri
Missouri has never been more pros
porous from every angle than right
now. With $9,379,141.39 in the treas
ury, the States treasury balance con-
tinues to grow. The report made by
Treasurer Middlekamp to Governor
Gardner on March l accounts for the
above balance. Income tax receipts
will more than make up for the loss
of dram shop revenue. In actual hard
cash Missouri now has more money on
hand than ever.
Negroes Worry Republican Party.
The Republican State Committee is
worried. The $4,000 negro voters OF
St. Louis who have kept that city in
the Republican column and Missouri
doubtful, are demanding "proper rec.
ignition" by having negro policemen
negro members of the city council and
school board and proportionate repre-
sentation on the delegation to the Ma
tional Convention. They also want q
negro as the next nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor on the "gop" ticket.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to "beware Of a
cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer cold hangs on, the
greater the danger, especially from
the germ diseases, as cold PREPARES
the system for the reception and de-
velopment Of the garms Of consump-
ton, diphtheria, scarlet fever and
whooping cough. The quicker yo1
get rid Of your cold, the less the dam
ger Of contracting one of these dis
eases. Chanberloin's Cough Remedy
has great reputation as a cure for
colds and can be depended upon. 1t
is pleasant to take. Obtainable ev-
crywhere. (advt.}

EYELASH FINISH
 IN AQUEDUCT RAGE
sClaquer Defeats Tom McTag- gart by Hairline Margin in
 s%. Dobbins Handicap.

One \of the closest finishes seen on a New York track this season was provided at Aqueduct in the Dobbins Handicap, in which J. A. Coburn's Cla1uer and Lawrence Waterbury's the end of a mile and a, sixteenth journey so closely aligned that no one in the stands could tell which had passed over the line first. The judges themselves were put to a test to de- termine the winner. They finally de- cided that the victory belonged to Claquer, but their decision did not meet with entire approval, as there was a. Vide difference of opinion among the spectators. To those right at the finish line, the judges seemed to be correct, but C1aquers margin was the proverbdal eyelash. Tetley was third among the nine starters, but was not close enough to interfere with the view of the two that were fighting it out.
 Because of the thrilling finish, the DohIbins was the best contest of the Stakes at six furlongs was down on the program as the feature. I,he scratches left but two starters for this latter event and Lawrence Water bury's Torchbearer and W. c. Clancy s Pickwick had the issue between them. Torchbearer once more proved he was the. master of Piclzwicl1, at least over a fast track, for he won easily without having been put to a drive at any stage of the dash.

NOT OVER 100
 TO TAKE TRIP

Washington, June 23.--IWhen the army transport Great Northern sails from San Francisco for Honolulu and the Far East it's passenger list will include the names of about 40 sena- tors and representatives and members of their families. The party will number less than 100. The War De partment, following a set rule, will not make public the names of passen- gers until they are actually on board.
 The Great Northern is now popu- 1arly known as the "Congressional Limited.'' Members of the party will leave the vessel at Hongkong on the return trip from Manila. The Great Northern, an oil burner, always stops at Hongkong, en route home, for fuel. The party will return on a coa14burn- ing transport, sailing from Nagasaki, Japan, where the army's coal burners refuel for the return voyage.
 Gen. Hines, Director of Transporta- ton, explained that the law is being compiled with in all particulars, pref erence being given to army, navy and Marine Corps passengers. As officials of the Government, the Senators and representatives and membersNH- their immediate families are entitled to any passenger accomm odationS not re- quired for military passengers and their families. Members of the Con- gressional party will pay the usual subsistence rate of $1.75 a day, which is the rate assessed against military passengers.

"POP" AND "DAD"
 TO OPEN SEASON
Deans of Trotting Turf Pre- pairing for Harness. Racing
 At Cleveland.

Edward F. Pop" Geers and Frank Dad" Caton. the real deans of the trottinS turf, are training their sta bles at North Randall track in prepa- ration for the opening meeting of the 1920 Grand Circuit season which will begin on July 5.
 Friends for haE' a century are Pop" Geers and Dad" Caton. Q For the same period they have been con- nected with the development of the harness horsemen. Geers is probably the most famous trainer in America. Caton enjoys the same reputation in European circles.
 Some 30 years ago Caton was in charge of the Forest City Stock Farm, on the site which is now the North Randall track, which is located near Cleveland. Caton laid out the original North Randall track. never thinking that some day it would be a Grand Circuit course.
 Then came an opportunity to intro duce American trotters to Europe. Caton went abroad with the trotter Winterset and immediately had such success his services were sought by several of the crowned heads of Flu rope, inc-Cding at that time the Car of Russia. For years Caton remaine d in Russia, making his residence there until the recent revolution He came back to Cleveland, the city of his birth, and, unable to keep away from harness horses, though now 69, Caton is to drive again He will team his own trotters, Adbeila Watts and Pet rosky.
 While Caton was in Russia Geers remained in America, where he built up a reputation of honesty and fair dealing. Hail and hearty at 69, Geer has 25 heads at North Randall, some of which look like the best in the land.

BUSINESS FAILURES


 During the past year the number of business failures has been small. In a time when prices are rising, there are not usually many failures. The more reckless man is, the more money he makes on a rising market. But what rises always has to fall, sometime.
 When the time of deflation comes when the banks call the loans, prices start on the down grade, and credit IS hard to get, then comes the test The man who has been working on 9 shoe string, finds that to move his goods to pay his debts, he must close out stock at such a loss thai his business is in an insolvent con dition.
 Everyone is glad to see prices com. ing down. But the people should not demand a process of deflation SC

EXPECT WOMEN
 TO VOTE IN FALL

Nashville, Tenn, June 29-The Leg islature will be called to meet on Aug. g to consider the Federal suffrage amendment, it was stated yesterday at the Capitol.
 Washington, June 29 Suffrage vic- tory is made almost certain before the November elections, Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman's party, stated yesterday upon receipt of the news that Governor Roberts of Tennessee will call an extra session of the legislature for Aug. A.
 ''The 18th state is in sight" said she At once an act of justice to the women of the country and an act bringing extraordinary prestige to the Democratic party, the setting of a definite date for the suffrage session in Tennessee makes suffrage victory almost certain in time for women to vote in the next elections
 "Our campaign in Tennessee has now become much simpler We had feared that campaign would be necessary to force the governor to set a sufficiently early date for the session. Now we shall have only the task of making a thorough canvass of the leg islature, to see that the majority which voted for Presidential suffrage in the state last year supports ratification"
