'Seven Years ofDantels N Under this caption the Indianapolis Star calls attention to the weaknesses of this cabinet officer. It says : , "The navy department has just announced that the United States fleets will take long
cruises next summer, the tentative program call
ing for visits to Australia, New Zealand and the
South Sea islands by the Pacific squadron and to South African ports by the Atlantic fleet. By
that time, 'however,' the. program may be altered
considerably, and at all events the country will be rid of Josephus Daniels, who, with his seven years of political manhandling of our chief national protection, has crippled its efficiency and aimcst destroyed the morale of the service. In the first place, he has violated the basic law of the world's naval strategy by dividing our fleet
into two parts instead of keeping one complete,
mobile force together ready for instant action in
any quarter.
; "Prior to the war onx fleet should have been kept in the Atlantic; now the one place where our entire fighting force should be stationed is
in the Pacific. Germany has been deprived of
her warships and by no stretch of the imagina
tion can trouble be expected with either Great Britain or France ; as least, as long as the United
States does not meddle in their affairs. In Japan, ' however, open talk of war is heard and while every true American hopes it will -never come, the lesson of the world war demands an adequate degree of preparedness. The fleet, however, is far from a fighting unit and very naval officer
who has had the courage to state the facts has encountered the revenge of our politician-secretary. "The navy at present is short about 30,000 men. Recruiting is proceeding at a fair pace, but the newcomers are green, while many of the most able officers in the service have resigned through disgust over the Daniels administration or because of greater financial returns in civil life. Instead of employing the force at his- disposal, however, to man a fighting fleet composed of our latest superdreadnoughts with the accompanying destroyer flotillas, submarines and other auxiliary vessels, he has scattered the men through the secondary vessels still in commission, with the result that not a single ship of any kind musters its full crew. But while it is a glaring error to weaken the main fighting fleet in order to keep some obsolete ships in commission, it nevertheless seems good politics. "As Admiral Sims pointed out in his wellfounded criticism of the Daniels administration, the great majority of the navy personnel is efficient and is doing the best it can under the obstructive tactics pursued by the head of the department. The effective service rendered during the war was performed in spite of and not due to any constructive program of Mr. Daniels. With the exception of a small group of administration favorites, every single navy man is probably looking forward hopefully to the day when a Republican administration will bring to an end the criminal indifference which has marked the last seven years."
Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
IN THE THICK OF IT. There is bo little time. Take out the necessary hours for food and sleep and play and there remains so short a time in which to do the work of one's life. How Important to remain in the thick of what is to be done until it is done! Keep wedging into the centre of things where you are most needed. There are too many on the sidelines. TCot everyone is trying to get into the thick of things so you see you have a -greater chance for distinguishing
yourself in service there. .Those who get into the thick of things get the best viewpoint.- Their Judgment rfpens quicker and they come- into knowledge through understanding at first hand.
Alia mere is tuutcunauuu mid a folks work at the heart of a task. More is accomplished for more i3 j-isked and ventured. ' But the greatest reason for being in the thick of everything is that the largest amount of fun is there! The foot-ball player dives for the center of a skirmish that he may break up the play and give his mates a chance to score. You who work where there is most to do and where there are fewest to do it, be glad. You are an accomplisher of worth and power. You get the greatest percentage out of time and add years to the results of your labor. Get into tile thick of life and work and stay there!
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
IDLE TALK I hear poor hicks talk politics from dawn until the gloaming, and, calm and cool, I groom my mule, her fetlocks currycombing. Oh, I might talk around the block with every passing neighbor, I might devote to Harding's goat the time I spend in labor, b;t I'm inclined to keep in mind the fact that winter's coming, when storms will whoop around my coop, and blizzards will be humming. I do my chores while all outdoors is full ot idle yawping, for still the hicks talk politics, and keep the welkin popping. I thresh my beans and other greens, my prune trees wisely guarding; my boosts or knocks won't hinder Cox, or put a crimp in Harding. Whoever wins you'll see my bins well filled with spuds and carrots; my crops I raise while other jays talk bunk like locoed parrots. Sometimes at night, by candle light, when all my work is ended, 1 spiel a while of campaign guile, in language high and splendid. And people list in awe, I wist, as though to some lawgiver, to plans I've planned, this weary land from bondage to deliver. But in the day I toil away, the lean earth amply larding, and heave no rocks at Jimmie Cox, and heave no bricks at Harding.
Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton
We note a cable message to the effect that the inhabitants of the village of Martlgny, Switzerland, face the necessity .of drinking nothing but wine and beer for some time to come, on account of the fact that the village waterworks was 6wept away by the hurst ing of a glacier pocket. This item has caused considerable speculation on our part. If perchance the waterworks supplying New York were swept away by the bursting of a glacier pocket, would the citizens be reduced to drinking wood alcohol? It is a patter which perhaps should be taken up by the proper authorities. Civic pride, of course, is a wonderful thing, but some towns have been civicpridedvto death. They have had civic pride to the exclusion of everything else. There were no sidewalks worth mentioning, houses were painted once in fifty years, the drainage system was 60 poor that water stood in the streets for a week after a rainstorm, a stranger ways about as welcome as a case of smallpox at. Ellis Island, and the telephones worked every other Thursday, but the folks got together two or three times a week and whooped 'er up for civic pride. It is perhaps a good thing that these towns have civic pride, however. A town must have something. A canvass at Chicago shows that the people of that city prefer dancing to the movieB. Now that question is definitely settled, let us find out why Jim Ham Lewis prefers pink whiskers. .. A man in our suburb had a box of books delivered to his house. The neighbors were all terribly disappointed, for it really was a boxof books.

Altogether it has been estimated that about one thousand violins are attributed to him and about three hundred other instruments, among them different kinds of viols, some bass viols and" also some lutes, guitars and mandoras, very exquisitely wrought. Eugene Ysaye and Jan Kubelik are both the owners of genuine Stradivarius violins. The label in a genuine instrument Is- supposed to have been made of paper. Mrs. R. A. Where is the Yellow Sea? The Yellow Sea is an arm of the Pacific Ocean, on the north-east coast of China. Its length is about 620 miles; its greatest breadth about four hundred miles. It is very- shallow, and obtains its name from the lemon yellow color of its water near the land, caused by mud suspended in the water from the inflow of the rivers Hoangho and Yangtsekiang.

Figures Show 702 Per Cent Increase in Miners Wages (By Associated Press) PITTSBURG, Oct. 19 The average daily wage of every person employed in Allegheny county, one of the country's greatest industrial centers, increased 70.2 per cent In three years, according to James F. Woodward, State Secretary of Internal Affairs. The per capita daily wage for 1919 was $5.08, while that of 1916 was $2.85, Mr. Woodward said. He used the latter year for comparison because it was "fairly normal,' 'whereas 1917 and 1918 were abnormal, owing to the war. Although production valuation during the war years "was greater than in 1919, Mr. Woodward's figures showed wages had increased steadily from $4.71 in 1918, to $5.08 in 1919. Production value in 1919 amounted to $1,900,226,400. as compared with
$1,619, 322',200 in 1916, an increase of $17.3 per cent. In 1917 and 1918 proinaction value reached well over the $2,000,000,000 mark. The per capita wealth of the county was $2,580, or twelve times the average per capita wealth of the United States.
The Democrats are trying to get the votes of the women by working on their Sympathy about the .graves in France. It seems to me the graves in France are rather too sacred a subject to make political capital out of. But perhaps there would not be so many graves in France had not President Wilson and Secretary Baker sent all the trained and Reasoned troops of the southern states down on the Mexican border and to guard the interned German prisoners, while they rushed our boys of the north, untrained and unseasoned over into France and to the firing line. And it is a matter of record that a number of northern states whose loss in men to the individual states was greater than the loss" in men to the whole eleven southern states put together and President Wilson and Secretary Baker could have been and should have been dealt with according to strict military rules for such a wanton sacrifice of human lives. Is it any wonder the Democrats are appealing to the women to vote for the old southern confederacy, alias Woodrow Wilson, alias James Cox? "Who digs their graves?" A Mother.

It costs less to sell advertised goods
I
RUN a grocery store to get enough money to feed my own family and pay my
rent, to get clothes and shoes. Frankly, I run this grocery store to make money. The other day a man was giving me some in formation-about my business. It sounded so reasonable that I wondered that I had not thought of it before. I am passing this on to you. I sell about $50,000 worth of merchandise each year. If you will check me up now you will find that I have about $5,000 worth of stock. This means that I sell my stock out completely about ten times each year. My average turnover is ten.
We got to figuring about this. If I would handle only advertised products, which sell more quickly and much easier, my turnover will be greater. For instance, I probably could take $5,000 worth of stock and do $75,000 worth of business by handling only advertised goods. My turnover this way would be 15 times a year. I could then reduce my gross profit onethird and still make the same amount of money. I average about 22 gross profit. That takes care of rent, help, light, etc., and my living. Or I could reduce my gross profit a sixth and pass a saving of a sixth to mv customers. This way I would make more money and my customers would be getting their groceries at a saving. Do you follow me?.
