Kansas campaigns getting expensive Getting elected to a political office isn’t an inexpensive thing these days, although election campaigns in Kansas haven’t tra- ditionally been among the most expensive affairs. That could be changing, at least for the current election cy- cle. The Associated Press reports spending by campaigns and political groups has been about seven times as much as it was for the 2010 elections, and Election Day still is more than a month away. The Associated Press was reporting on a study by the non- partisan Center for Public Integrity, which estimated that about $2.2 million has been spent on television ads for statewide of- fices so far – $314,057 was spent on television advertising dur- ing the 2010 elections – with the gubernatorial race accounting for about $2.1 million of the total. The story didn’t specifically mention the Senate race between Republican incumbent Pat Roberts and independent Greg Orman. Given polls that show the governor’s race – between incum- bent Republican Sam Brownback and Democrat Paul Davis – and the Senate race will be close, it isn’t surprising that money is flowing into the state. Governor touts record, applauds Tech As of Sept. 8, the Center for Public Integrity estimated Brownback’s campaign has spent only $306,200 on TV ads Sam Brownback only hinted at being an because of the drought, he claimed: “They’ve incumbent governor under heavy attack dur- got to have water.” and the nonprofit Roadmap Solutions Inc. has spent $86,900. ing a visit to Goodland last month.

Baby Blues • Rick Kirkman & Jerry Scott Terry Family Circus • Bil Keane Kovel Antiques and • Collecting ‘Black Forest’ is a misnomer

Q: A family member has a coffee table and Beetle Bailey • Mort Walker two end tables that are stumping us. They were purchased in Germany in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The tops are hand carved, stained and painted, and covered with remov- able glass. The legs screw in. They are marked on the bottom “D.B.G.M. Geschutzt.” I hope you can help with information and a value. A: Your tables are in the style called “Black Forest,” used to describe the elaborate, natural- istic wood carvings of animals, plants and land- Conceptis Sudoku • Dave Green scapes thought to be made in the Bavarian Black By Dave Green Forest region of southwest Germany. Most pieces were really made in Brienz, Swit- 8 2 4 zerland, where the carving style started in the early 1800s. From the mid-1880s to the 1940s, 6 1 9 Blondie • Chic Young Brienz wood carvers made rustic clocks, benches, hall trees, smoking stands, chairs, tables and oth- 4 er furniture they sold to tourists. It was popular with Americans. The mark on your tables stands 1 8 7 for Deutsches Bundes Gebrauchsmuster (Ger- 5 6 9 7 8 man Federal Registered Design) and was used in West Germany from 1948 to 1985. So your tables 7 4 2 were probably made in the 1950s. Black Forest carvings from Brienz are from the 3 1880s to 1920s are sought after and sell for a lot of money.

Q: I have an antique doll that reads “Dainty Dorothy, Germany” on the tummy. It has yel- Cryptoquip low hair, a bisque head, open mouth with teeth, and a kid body. It is jointed but is missing a hand. It has shoes and socks and a new dress. The doll is about 21 inches tall. Can you tell me how old it is and what it might be worth? A: Dainty Dorothy was a line of dolls sold by Mother Goose and Grimm • Mike Peters Sears, Roebuck & Co. and by T. Eaton Co., a Canadian department store, from 1910 until; at least 1922. Kestner, Simon & Halbig, Armand Marseille, and Gebruder Heubach made bisque heads for the dolls. If you find a manufacturer’s mark on the doll’s head on the back of the neck, you can identify the maker. Dolls with composition forearms and lower legs were made beginning in 1912. An all com- position version was sold by Eaton in 1918. Not having the original dress doesn’t affect the value very much but the value of your doll is lower be- cause it’s missing a hand. Your doll is worth $50 to $75. (c) 2014 by Cowles Syndicate Inc. Sally Forth • Greg Howard Bridge • Steve Becker Crossword • Eugene Sheffer

A Guess Becomes a Certainty Counting how many cards the opponents hold in each suit might be more work than some play- ers would like to undertake, but it sure saves a lot of guesswork. Take this deal, for example. East won the open- ing spade lead with the jack and continued with the A-K, South ruffing the third spade high as West discarded a diamond. Declarer then drew three rounds of trumps, West discarding another Zits • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott diamond, and led a low diamond to the king. East took the king with the ace and returned a diamond, and South was at the crossroads. He had to decide whether to finesse the ten of dia- monds, or whether to go up with the queen and hope to discard the ten on dummy’s fourth club. After reviewing the play to this point, declarer correctly rejected the diamond finesse (which would have been fatal) because the contract had by now become a certainty. South knew that East had started with exactly six spades (West discard- ed on the third round) and had followed to three rounds of trumps. East had then also shown up with the A-6 of diamonds. With 11 of East’s original 13 cards fully ac- counted for, it was impossible for him to hold more than two clubs. So, after taking the dia- mond queen, South cashed the A-Q of clubs and led a third club. When West produced the nine, it was a simple matter to finesse the ten, since East could not have the jack of clubs. The same result could have been achieved if South had cashed his last trump after winning the diamond queen, a move that would have embar- rassed West for a discard. The key point, though, is that by resorting to elementary counting, de- clarer found a way to avoid embarrassing him- self. (c)2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
