LONDON, Feb. 25. The British new
naval estimates, just passed, provide a
total Of $5S,210.SSO for new construe-
ton, of which $3,210,415 will be devot-
ed to the commencement of new ships
The admiralty will devote $9,050,000 to
the purchase of arnor during the COM
ing year and says it now has no diff
Guilty in securing an adequate supply
of the quality desired.
Orders have already been placed for
nine submarine vessels in this years
programme but the preparation of spe-
cial designs for the tenth submarine
has delayed <the placing of the con-
tract.
The admiralty Is considering the pos
sibilities of an internal combustion en-
CINE for torpedo boats and torpedo
boat destrOyers because Of the economy
in fuel consumption to be obtained by
It's method.
The construction will be begun dur
ing the present year Of two batteships,
four armored cruisers, ten submarine
vessels and fourteen torpedo boat de-
stroyers.
In submitting the estimates the Earl
of Selborne, first lord of the admiralty
said the admiralty was aware that the
estimates were large. bnt parliament
must remember how great is the re-
sponsibilty cast upon the board of ad-
miralty in providing the country with
navy strong enough to sustain a
struggle with the navies Of any two
powers and to insure reasonable secu-
rity for the cOuntry's vast sea borne
/ trade and the food supply of the people

Spring That will
Hats not Fade

Our Spring hats are ready and one
thing we wish to impress on you, we
guarantee them fadeless with a seasons
wear. Why can we do this9 B cause
we use only hats that are stiffened with
pure gum arabic cut in alcohol. Many
hats, in fact the bulk of all sold. are
stiffened with a cheap Chinese gum
dissolved in hot water which causes
them to fade easily when exposed to
the sun and besides they crack easily.
We know how to tell arabic stiffened
hats and buy no others, although the
other kind look the same when new
and cost three dollars dozen less
Knowing hats, we can give you this
fadeless guarantee.

BOARD SITS AGAIN 27, 20
Don't be a Non-Entity The Most Useless
Person in the World on Election Day
Is the one who Didn't Register.

The first period of registration
for Saratoga ended Saturday even
ing, $50 names being registered.
Through an error in the dates
the board began registering Mon
day instead of Tuesday, which
necessitated the e registering of
all who registered Monday. If
you were mt of the number that
registered or Monday. don't fail
to attend to it at the next meeting
of the board, which is on Thurs.
day and Friday of next week.
We wish to urge every citizen
to register. If you do not, and
have no good excuse for not having
done so, you cannot vote. and the
most absolutely insignificant per-
son in existence on election day is
the n who does not care enough
for the welfare of his country to
make an expression of his views
at the ballot box. 1t is the duty
and privilege of every citizen,
whether native or naturalized. and
SEE to it that you are on hand.
In the coming election the is
sues are as clearly drawn as ever
before, and the continued growth,
progress and prosperity of the ma
ton, as well as it's standing as a
great world power, depends upon
the reelection of Roosevelt.
Do not forget the days. Thurs
day and Friday. the 9th and 2Sth
of this month. The Importance of
attending to this matter cannot be
over-estimated. If the republi-
cans do not carry the election this
fall it will be due to over-conf-
dence and it's consequent lethargy.
The price of is eternal Wig.
lance, so get busy, and stay busy.
