PUTS ONUS ON REPUBLICANS
Statement by General Board of the Navy Explains How Country
 Lost Second Place.

The industry of those who are after the scalp of Secretary Daniels has led some people to suppose that the Unit ed States navy under the Wilson ad- ministration has fallen from a high estate to position of alarming ihferi- ority. The tact is that whatever fall there was began long before the presi- dent was inaugurated in 1913. and since that time there has been sharp turn upward. Secretary Daniels. in Il letter to Representative Williams of Illinois. in which he quotes from re- port by the general board of the navy. makes this clear.
 The general board, reporting to him. states that, measured by displacement. the strength of the United States navy in ships built was second in 1907, but b. 1911, measured by the same stand ard, we were third. Again, consider ing ships built or building. this coun- try rose from third to second in 1909. but dropped back to third place the same year. Measuring the strength of the navy by personnel, the general board finds that we rose to second place In 1908. dropped to third in 1911 and to fourth In 1913. The falling t. ndency in this last year was Demo- cratic inheritance from the Taft ad- ministration, which has since been counteracted by rise in enlistments and re-enlistments and strong falling off in assertions.
 This Is no partisan review. It Is matter of cold figures as reported by the general board, and 1t reveals the hypocrisy of the Republican claim that that party is the one which should be intrusted with the huilding of strong navy. The fact is that, back in Roose- velt's term, when the general board was recommending building program which should include two battleships a year, Secretary Bonaparte recom- mended one battleship and President Roosevelt approved tLat recommenua- tion. Secretary Daniels declares that had the recommendations of the board been followed this nation would not have lost the place which we are now struggling to regain.

STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE
Just as True in Road Dragging as in Fence Repairing and Other Work
 Around the Farm.

(By M. A. R. KELLY. Missouri College
 of Agriculture.)
 "A stitch in time saves nine" is just as true in road dragging as in fence fixing and other farm work. Don't let the rush of farm work cause you to neglect road dragging until the ruts are so deep and the weeds have such a start that the drag cannot do its best work. A little careful work now and during the remainder of the sea- son will not only keep the roads in good shape but keep down the weeds in such way to save a great deal of work at weed-mowing time.

In WOman'S Realm
Suggestion for Dainty and Useful ock Appropriate for Any casion-Charmeuse or Fame Velvet the Best Materials to Be Empoyed-Tmee Styles That Are Among
 the Best of the New Hats.

Here is a frock for afternoon wear which will give its owners the sense of being we'll and appropriately dressed for many occasions. It is made of one of the soft weaves in silk or satin which are christened with new names occasionally, for the sake of variety. Charmeuse will suggest about the texture and luster that are of greatest advantage to the designer in gowns of this kind. Panne velvet Is a good substitute for silk or satin, in the winter season, although more gowns are made of satin than of the other materials.
 The skirt Is straight-hanging and weighted with wide hem. The side panels are shirred into many parallel folds at the top, which extend to the

Ignorance or Mendacity.

Hughes. in his desperation for an irsue, is trying to stir up sectional prejudice, by asserting that most of the chairmanships in the present con- gross are filled by southern men and Democrats. He knows that these po- sftions go by seniority, and if it hap pens that the South has kept men in congress and on committees longer than other sections, then by all rights these men get the plums. But this does not signify that these men make the legislation. MT. Hughes is hard ressed for campaign thunder.

 The hat to the left Is of gray velvet faced with rose crepe and has a crown covered by rows of chenille of the same shade of gray as the velvet. The brim is wide and droops a little. It is trimmed with a fiat rose made of embroidery in dark red rose shades. There is a single embroidered leaf and a long and slender stem of chenille that rests on the brim.

AUTOMOBILE IS GREAT HELP
Used for Dragging Both Sides of Roao When Farmer Goes to Town and
 on His Return.

In some sections farmers are hitch ing a road drag to the auto when talk
 ing a trip to town or anywhere else on the roads. The car pulls the drag along the mile or two of road that the farmer cares to keep up. On the way home he picks up the drag where he left it and drags the other side of the road going back, making such a round each time the car is taken out.

Record to Be Proud Of,

Never in the history of the country has congress accomplished so much for the tiller of the soil as 1t has done in the short space of little less than three years since Wilson's inaugura- tion.
 Whether the Democrats or the Re publicans are victorious in the Novem- Der election the remarkable record will stand as a monument to Democratic statesmanship and a great party's honesty of purpose.

Hughes Must Say Where He Stands.
 Where does Judge Hughes stand Does he favor larger standing army, and. if so, how large? Does he favor the utilization of the National Guard a, second line of defense? Does he favor compulsory military service? No one knows, for the candidate has not spoken. But on these as well as many other matters the circumstances of the campaign will compel him to state, long before election day. where he stands. The reason is the American people will insist upon knowing Cleveland Plain Dealer.
