Syracuse Slat Moldboard
Chilled Plow i
* Here ia a plow that ia perfectly adapted to the
needs of the planter who has level-lying, sticky,
difficult shedding land.
Earth slips along easier over slats than over
solid surface—just as a narrow sleigh runner pos¬
sesses advantages over a wide runner.
When conditions are such that good cleaning
qualities can be obtained in no other way, these
new Syracuse slat moldboard plows are indispen¬
sable. They have excellent pulverizing qualities /
and are surprisingly light draft.

TRADE MARK IS OFFENSIVE
From Germany Americans Want ‘Noth¬
ing hut Souvenirs of Victory—G*r
man Toys and Other Gorman
Goods Doomed In U. 8.
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN,
In Chicago Daily News.
Washington, D. C.—For the first
time in over 50 years, American store*
are practically emptied of German
toys. Only a few btsqae dolls re¬
main, and in most cases these have
been carefully packed away until some
distant day when American toy buy¬
ers shall have become reconciled to
the trade mark “Made In Germany."
Today this trade mark Is not only
unpopular—It Is offensive.^ Americans
will still buy Turkish rngs, Austrian
musical comedies and Bulgarian color
combinations, but from Germany they
want nothing but souvenirs of victory.
According to one department store buy¬
er, a woman came Into his store not
long ago, in search of a certain kind
of gloves which, she said, she had been
unable to obtain In two other cities.
She was delighted when he finally
brought out a pair from some old stock
that met with her requirements. He
was very much surprised, therefore, to
find her in an argnment with one of
the salesgirls the next day over the
return of her purchase. “I won’t have
them,” she was saying vehemently,
“you can see as plainly as I can that
they are marked ‘made In Germany.’”
Especially, do Americans feel this
way about German toys.
• Boy Burnt Rocking Horae.
One mother recently espied her
young son standing in a Napoleonic at¬
titude before a biasing bonfire, in the
midst of which could be seen the fast
disappearing head of a white rock¬
ing horse.
"Why, Nathan," exclaimed his moth¬
er In a grieved voice, “you used to
be so fond of that rocking horse.”
“Yes’m, but I’m not any more,” de¬
clared her son emphatically. “It’s got
'Made In Germany' on it."
While a few radicals have pointed
but that hatred for any cause is small
and petty and should not be encour¬
aged in children; that such $n atti¬
tude of the Is not world conducive democracy to the for jsuccess which
new i
we fought, and that we are pledged “to
be just to those wbom we do not wish
Vo tie Just,” they have failed to
make any great Impression. German
toys and other German goods seem
doomed in this country.
So fqr as toys are concerned, this
attitude has been an industrial boon.
For the American toy Industry has
grown tremendously since the German
market was shut off, and it cannot af¬
ford to be injured now by the “dump¬
ing" of German goods. I A great deal
has been said about the necessity of
protecting the new American dye in¬
dustry from German competition now
that the war is over, but few people
know that before the war our importa¬
tion of Gefman toys Was greater than
that of dyes. The figures show that
$9,084,000 worth of toys were import¬
ed where only $8,400,000 worth of dyes
were imported In 1914, the imports of
both these lines of goods from Ger
jnany showed such a startling increase
that it is now believed German dyo
and toy agents In this country were
aware that war was approaching.
U. 8. Toy Business Now Is Vast
The only difference In the histories
of these two industries is that toys al¬
ways had been made to a limited ex¬
tent in the United States, whereas
dyes—at least coal tar dyes—had not
been made here at all. In 1913 there
were already 71 toy establishments,
designing and manufacturing Ameri¬
can toys, and doing an annual business
of $7,521,485. When the German toys
stopped coming this industry under¬
went an enormous expansion. Today
there are 165 American toy firms, do¬
ing an anmial business of $20,500,000.
A consistent campaign hns been
waged by these new manufacturers
to educate Americans to the proper
appreciation of American toys, and
things are going smoothly in the tor
industry. There is no doubt that fh<*
American toy product is every bit ns
good as, if not better, than that w.tIj
I n Germany. It is a fact that our Amer¬
ican toymakers have not yet learned
to make bisque dolls or Christmas tree
balls, but most people consider that
the American dolls are much more
“natural” and abundant Christmas
tree balls may be had from Japan.
Thus everybody 'was prepared for n
peaceful, American toy Christmas this
year, when suddenly a cargo of Ger¬
man toys arrived in tho port of New
York.
An earthquake could not Lav
caused greater consternation in in*
American toy industry. Immediately
the press took up tne matter with ih<
free use of bitter invective nod the
vice president of one of the firms t •
whom the toys were consigned i.-is ie .
the following statement: “We ban:
refused to accept the shipment of Ger¬
man toys which came to its from II. 1
land without notice. Though lhe t: e
goods were bought and paid for before
the' war and are our, property we will
have no German made goods in our
stock.”

i T^ROGRAMS prepared before the
JL war are as useless as a last
year’s bird’s nest—and this ap¬
plies to the work of the Church just as
much as It does to any other kind of
an organization which deala with hu¬
man relationships.
The New Era Movement of the Pres¬
byterian Church was organized to
study the conditions which have come
out of the war and then to set up an
adequate program that will frankly
face the fafcts.
The financial “drive” is being organ¬
ized by business men who were among
the most successful workers in liberty
