SHOW HUGHES UNFIT
Democrats Uncover Records oi
 His Public Career.
Figures as Shrewd, Able Defender of Big Financial Interests-DecIared Ideal Candidate of the
 Money Barons.

Charles Evans Hughes will be shown in the campaign as the shrewd and able defender of the financial fn- terests, a corporation-minded man who Is able to disguise in high-sounding phrases his lack of sympathy for the plight of the average citizen who has insufficient wealth to defend his rights against big business. according to a dispatch from New York.
 His record as governor of New York and his other acts in public life are being examined by eastern Democrats who are close to the sources of infor- nation, and 1t is declared that facts will be brought into the campaign showing him the ideal candidate of the money barons, sincere in his SUD- port of protection for the financial in- terests, but out of sympathy with the great mass of the American people.
 A charge that he stirred up an ac ademic conflict over race-track gam bling while governor of New York in order to distract attention from the af- fairs of his administration will be raised. Edwin S. Harris, chairman of the New York Democratic state con- mittee, disclosed the line of attack that is to be made upon the Repub- Iican nominee at meeting of the new ly-formed Young Democratic club of Brooklyn.
 In his discussion Chairman Harris declared that Hughes was not nomi- mated at the Chicago convention, but at a meeting last winter of the lead ing powers in the business world, "whose profits were taken away by the Underwood tariff law and who look upon the enactment of federal trade and commerce laws as a personal at' tack upon themselves"
 Man, the human being, has no place in the thoughts of MT. Hughes" de clared MT. Harris. "He is defender of property rights, as his veto of the lower gas rate bill and his disapproval of the income tax show. The Repub- licans hope to win by dividing the country and deceiving the rank and file. Hughes is an adroit, shrewd, re sourceful politician and campaignel of unusual ability who can put more feeling and force into a sentence tha, doesn't mean anything than any othel man in public life. But he was lamentable failure as a governor"
 "It was the Hughes administrator that made the blunder of putting $3O, 100000 in the sinking fund.-" Chair man Harris continued. "It was the Hughes administration that was re sponsible for the unavoidable plans fol the barge canal; for the expenditure of a huge surplus in the state treas ury, and for increasing the state pay roll $S,OOO,OO0."

Aggressive Campaign Promised.

Contrary to reports, the Democratic organization will make an aggressive campaign in a number of Republican States. Plans are under way for a vigorous campaign in Maine, under the direction of Homer s. Cummings. na- tional committeeman for Connecticut, who Is vice chairman of the commit tee. Vance Mccormick, the new chair man of the national committee, de clared that any reports that the Demo erats were going to avoid Republican States were unauthorized. He said emphatically that the Democrats were going to carry the fight into all states that might be classed as in any way doubtful, and the Democratic chieftain looks upon Maine-once regarded as a rock-ribbed Republican state-as ex- reeding doubtful territory for the Republicans.

HEN FREAK BREAKS RECORD
One of Wisconsin's Biddies' Eggs Matches ChIcAl3 3n and a
 Half Out.

Attracted the other day to his incu- bator by a promising "peep, peep" Fremont Lounsbury saw emerging from a shell little ball of fur with a half-chicken alongside. The whole fowl was perfect. The half fowl had no wings, neck or head. Otherwise 1t was all a chicken should be.
 Lounsbury explains the birth of the chicken and a half in a most convinc- ing manner. He says that some time ago one of his hens was run over by a motorcycle with a side car attached. He did not think much of the accident at the time, but now recalls that the unfortunate hen was the one that laid the egg that produced the chicken and a half. Therefore Lounsbury asserts that chickens also are subject to pre-. natal influence.

Druggists Hard Luck.

An amateur poultryman received a shipment of fancy perfume atomizers for the holiday trade.
 After he had tried few on his friends and had arranged the stock on the shelves he went home to say good night to his hens and to gather what eggs had been laid during the day.
 He reached into one nest and felt fur, which turned out to be fur of a genuine willow pussy in the full flush and vigor of young pussyhood.
 He says he didn't mind his experi- ence in the chicken coop half so much as he does the foolish comments of business acquaintances who keep talk Ing about "faunal atomizers."

ROAD MAKING IS IMPORTANT
Work Should Be Done in Late Spring or Summer to Get We'll Settled
 Before Cold Weather.

Road making is a matter of lot of importance to the city man and the farmer alike. Many thousands of dollars are expended annually in this work. Far too great a per cent of the work is done in the fall, sometimes running clear into the winter, for the good of the road and for the judicious expenditure of the money.

hoaoS m 6ooo CohoTeioh. many miles of roads during the last winter, made in the late fall, that were all but impossible practically all winter.
 A new road made in the late fall can hardly help but be rough all winter. This kind of road means 8 lot more wear on the auto, higher gasoline expense and a very much general wear on the car. It also means that the farmer cannot haul nearly as heavy a load with his team and a quicker wearing out of the wagon.
 In the rural districts lot of road work is done by voters working out their poll tax. This work is gener- ally done when they can best spare the time, which is in the fall. If the men who do this work would consult their best interests we be- lieve they would arrange to do it in the summer, even if it were not so convenient and it cost them more.
 Road overseers who have this work in charge can help in this line more than anyone else. If they will but try, a lot of this work now done in the fall can be done when it should be. This official should look more to good roads than to his own convenience.-Twen- tieth Century Farmer.

Republican "Patriotism."

Great grief is expressed in Repub- Iican circles over the treachery of the Democratic house in including in the new revenue bill protective duties on dyestuffs. This is a tariff principle to which the Republicans are sworn, and they would rather see the rising dye industry sacrificed and be able to make political capital of the Demo crats' failure to save it from destruc- ton after the war. Any pretext is good enough for partisan fault-f1nding. The Democrats are to be damned If they do something and damned if they do not.

When she provokes peo- pie to say: q wish I felt as cool as you look," it Is assurance that she has achieved the best results in her summer apparel.

 After a glance through the assort- ments of b1ouses and neckwear, organ die, crepe georgette and crepe de chine are firmly impressed upon the mind in materials. Hemstitching, eye let work and embroidery and fash ion for contrasting colors in trimmings have developed into the strongest fea- lures in the decoration of summer blouses and neckwear. There is no more to be said, for the pretty story of these summer styles is finished.
