FOREIGN BUYERS CANCEL /
 GERMAN TOY ORDERS

BERLIN, Sept. 24 (by Associated Press) s).-Cancellation of orders by for eign buyers amounting to 60,000,000 marks suffered by German firms of toy makers on account of the recent more favorable standing of the mark prompts the Tageblatt to observe that the charge made against the Germans of being guilty of breach of business morals because in isolated cases they used similar pretexts to evade contract obligations no longer holds good. The German toy makers claim that ship ments already on the way and out of Germany have also been refused ac- ceptance, on the ground that prices based on the recent improved status of the mark exceeded the world mar ket prices.

RAILWAY TO CONNECT PACIFIC OCEAN WITH
 THE AMAZON RIVER

SANTIAGO, Sept. 23 (by Associated Press) ).-Construction of railway which would connect the Pacific ocean with the Amazon river serving the Re publics of Ecuador Columbia and Venezula on the north and Peru, Bol iva and Brazil on the south, is involved in a concession which has been au- thorized by the Ecuadorean govern ment Authority for tho construction of the railway, according to the Chil can weekly, was obtained from the government at Quito by Ignacio Leon former Chilean diplomat, for syndi cate capitalized at $25,0O0,OO0 mem bers of which include many prominent Chileans.
 The route would start from the port of Boliva on the Pacific and run to Port Borza on the Amazon. The proposed railway, in addition to serv- ing a zone bordering on what is said to be among the best petroleum bear ing districts in Peru, would afford a means of connecting the four large and isolated provinces of southern Ecuador, with 5OO,O0O inhibitants, with the rest of the country.
 An article recounting the details of the project quotes Senor Leon as say ing: Apart from the establishment of inter-oceanic communication, of great future importance, the railways penetrating East Ecuador, combined with the naTagable riverways, will enable the exploitation of an enor- nous extension of extraordinary fer tile virgin territory which will cOnsti- ute the most admirable sources of wealth for Ecuador"

INCOME TAX NOT LIKED IN
 So. AMERICA

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. "A (by As sociated Press) Protest against the assessment of the United States in. come and excess profits tax upon Am erican citizens and business firms re- siding and operating abroad is voiced in a resolution adopted by the chamber of commerce of the United States in Argentina and sent to the government at Washington. Amendment to the law is asked on the ground that it is proving an obstacle to the develop ment and extension of United States foreign commerce.
 Collection of the tax not only in creases the heavy expenses of Amer jeans residing abroad, but constitutes a serious handicap to them in trade competition, the resolution states, since no such tax is collected from the nationals of other countries. It is further pointed out that American cit izens and business houses must pay heavy taxes levied by the country in which they are located and are thus taxed twice without representation either in the government ofsthat coun try or their own.
 Already the assessment of the ex cess profits and income tax has caused many American business interests op, erating abroad to change their idenity by organizing as concerns of the coun- try where they conduct business, it is asserted, thus causing a serious loss to the prestige of American commerce in foreign markets"
 It is contended that when relative high cost of living and other disadvan tages incurred by foreign residence are considered, incomes abroad that appear large are not really so in com parison with those paid in the United States, and the collection of the tax upon them tends to make foreign resi- dence and business operation finan cially disadvantageous.

Editor Cordova Daily Times:
 What about some action in getting this Athletic Association into effect, as winter is coming and if any organ ization is any use, the proper time is winter.
 As a suggestion to assist in meeting current expenses incurred on any in vestment that the Athletic Association might make, why not construct a building that would permit the leas- ing of certain rooms to other organ izations different nights every week, and as one is now active with a large membership, namely, the Ladies Ath- letic Association and The Cordova Rifle Association of 50 members, only waiting for equipment to get into ac- tion. Why not construct a building with lower floor suitab ble to rent three nights week for target inside range, and the upper floor equipped with an athletic apparatus.
 The writer would like to see action now, and not wait until next spring to start construction

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Sept. 24 (by Associated Press).-Competition from Italy and increased freight rates have caused an acute crisis which is facing California's lemon industry, ac cording to James Bires, manager of a local fruit company.
 On account of the high exchange value of United States money in Ital ian lire, and the present low tariff ot one half cent per pound makes ii possible for Italians and Sicilians to sell their lemons in American mar. kets below the cost of producing the California lemons.

MEAT PRODUCTION
SUFFERS IN 1920
Packers Say Stockmen Can Not Make
Profit on Present
MI Prices

WASHINGTON.-D of AGO.
100000 pounds in the countrys
meat production for the last six
months, as compared with last year
was reported Tuesday by the Institute
OF American Meat Packers. Statistics
of the agricultural department show
sheep were slaughtered at SO markets
during the last six months were used
as the basis for the estimated dc
creased production.
During nearly every month OF 1920,
producers lost money on cattle and
beef" said the statement. prices of
hogs and pork products are substan-
TALLY lower than last year, due large
ly to diminished exports. The decrease
in slaughter indicates that as re-
suit Of these losses, some producers
have cut their herds and may restrict
production. Such situation would
be an economic misfortune. Past ex-
perience has been normally that high
err prices for meat animals and hence
for meat, have followed restricted
production, after which the consumer
again restricted consumption
Cattle prices in May, the statement
added, "were down near the level pre-
vailing when the United States en-
tered the war;" but in June the aver
age price in Chicago of $14.95 for ma
tive beef steers was, with the ex-
ception of June 1918 the highest June
average on record" Fluctuations in
receipts during the two months were
said to have caused the changes.

CLOTHING FOR YOUNGER SET
Materials Include Cotton PopIin for
Dresses for Girls and Suits
for Boys.

The time is certainly past when
children's clothes can be purchased
ready to wear for a mere song. Max
ing them at home is great saving
this season, especially if the stores are
carefully 'shOpped" for bargains In
materials. Fortunately no one style
dominates the style field for children
(for the matter of that, great leeway
is admitted in fashions for grown
ups as welD and variety is really the
important point to achieve.
Cotton poplin is in high favor for
sturdy service dresses for little girls
and for suits for small boys. Cotton
crepe Is another fabric that is favor
lite when clothes for everyday wear
are under consideration. The small
girl will be becomingly outtitted In
wolfe, organdie, swiss and similar
transparent fabrics when really warm
weather arrives-that is, for some
what dressy occasions-but the sturdy
percales, pOplins, chambrays and cot
ton crepes will be selected for play
hours.
Vivid, rather dark, or at least
medium shades are In great favor for
service clothes for members Of the
younger set. Jade green is liked an6

gold yellow and a medium blue are
