been troubled more or less all my life

"A crooked grimmace contorted the

"And thus another idol fell.

"There is nothing in this world

"The boys of Chicago, and through

The one notable exception to the

Of the industry is being weakened by
the sharp decline of new buying.

tile manner by other motor producers,
some have already fallen in line and
others are certain to follow, sooner or
later.
Foreign Trade.
The abundance of goods on domes-
tic markets is partially explained by
falling exports and expanding inn
ports. The August excess Of exports,
totaling $6,000,O00, was the lowest Of
any month since October, 1914. The
months imports increased SO per cent
over 1919, while exports decreased 8
per cent. The August record was also
lower than July, whereas in former
years an expansion usually occurred
Dollar Growing.
War imitation humbled the al
mighty dollar. In June it was worth
81 cents compared with pre-war val
ues. Lower commodity prices are re-

wildly than the recent recovery of
Liberty bond prices. The advance in
bond quotations also reflects the
