Two seuaratc (elections occur In thi cltv this wii-k- Sjrhe first refers to school district No. f., which is being held at city hall on 'Monday, October 31. Legal voters discussed the merits of the budsit. jbcginning at one o'clock p. ni., and voted on the proposition of levying a Especial district tax, the polling hours J being from 2 to 7. The budget esti mates ale for tho period beginning June 30, 1921', and ending June 30. 1923, and incorporate the amounts available from the county school fund, state school fund, elementary school fund, and special district tax, inclini ng all other moneys o tho district j It may prove a relief to many to rest .' assured that this budget does not ne- ccssltato an increase in the levy over : Jhat of t.he preceeding year. Tho total Amount estimated for all purposes ; during the year Is tS3.412.50, of which the county school fund will yield $15,000; state school fund, ' $2,500; elementary school fund, IJ7.500; other sources J2800; total. ,1 )27,800. This will leave )55.612.50 to Jhe raised by tho district tax. Kala '"'ries Vtf teachers specifically require $54,450, of which athletic coaching 'require )1860, and Smith-Hughes fea tures )1750. Janitors, clerks, nurses and incidentals require $3760. It will ,1)0 noted that the sum to be raised by (district lax Just about equalizes teach ers' salaries. By way of comparison with $59,410 as estimated expendi tures for tho ensuing school year In the personal service classification, ex penditures for threo fiscal years next preceding the last school year, also under the head of "personal service." were $38,043.69 for 1919; $30,942.25 for 1918, and $29,784.55 for 1917. Tho second election will be a spec ial municipal one, and will bo held on " "Wednesday, November 2, the question at issue technically being a charter amendment as applying to voting $18,000 bonds. This proposed action ' will bo like unto borrowing from ''Peter to pay Paul, as the transaction is all between various members of the municipal family as it were.

'lrot' H" measure to simply repay loans made from various" funds one (to. another, has been particularly stressed in order that those who read may ..vote intelli gently regarding the purpose for holding the - special election. This statement has been iterated and re iterated until it would seem as though &!1 ought to be advised thoroughly re garding the measure. There will be only two polling places. Ward No. 1 will vote at city hall, with A. B. Kin ney, Mrs. 'Wm. Hriggs, and Mrs. Jose phine Crocker as clerks and Judges. U'ard No. 2 will vote at tho fourth street fire station, with W.

Childless Women What Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Did for Her Millston, Wis." I want to give you a word of praise for your wonderful meaicine. we are very fond of children and for a consider able time after we married I feared I would not have any owing to my weak condition. I began taking Lydia B. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and now I have a nice strong healthy baby eirl. I can honestly say that I did not suffer much more when my baby was born than I used to suffer with my periods before I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound years ago. I give nil the credit to your medicine and shall always recom mend it very highly." Mrs. H. H. Janssen, Millston, Wisconsin. How can women who are weak and sickly ex pect or hope to become mothers of healthy children? Their first duty is to themselves. They should overcome the derangement or debility that is dragging them down, and strengthen the entire system, as did Mrs. Janssen, by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and then they will be in a position to give their children the blessing of a good constitution, RSI!

Anticipating great J pleasure In view of this approaching sotini event, a universal exclamation ' is "Let's go!" j Another tong war is in prospect, .this time in regard to the Chautauqua 'auditorium housing the livestock ex ! hibit of the winter fair. Inasmuch as announcements were made that the jbig building was available for this I purpose, the matter was considered settled, but it seems not so. Instead ;of invoking the initiative and refer jendum by way of submitting the I proposition as a test case, some of the members have issued tho follow ing as an ultimatun through public forum channels, penned In unequivo cal language which evidently means (business through injunction proceed ings, if necessary. Just listen to It: I To whom it may concern: I This is to advise tho general pub lic that there will be no livestock of any description allowed on the Chau tauqua grounds or housed in the Chautauqua tabernacle during the proposed Ashland Midwinter fair, or at any other time. The secretary of the Ashland Chamber of Commerce and the honorable (?) mayor to the contrary notwithstanding. (Signed): MRS. T. L. GLENN. MHS. S. PATTEKSON. Trustees. On the assumption, as conceded by many, that the big structure is a whito elephant, it was but logical to determine that other livestock , could be housed therein. In fact, the' pres ence of a flno dairy herd within its walls might improve the building's a-cow-stic properties, at present notor iously deficient from tho Chautauqua platform standard. It would bo dif ficult to determine just who controls the chautauqua building and grounds as for a time past some of Its of ficers have been Illegally chosen, ref erence in regard to this statement being made to the provisions of the assembly's constitution and by-laws. Gradually the city has been coming to the relief of the association in time of stresB financially and other wise to such an extent that the pub lic seem willing to allow the munici pality full control "by right of emi nent domain," if for no other reason. Furthermore, nature lovers nssert that there is fully as much, if not more, entertainment in the lowing, neighing and bleating of animals, plus tho crowing of chaticloers. than in listening to noma of the stereotyped phnses of ; the ; average Chautauqua program. i6ne! thing Is cartaln.t and that is If 'the iwhjer ; fair Is to !con tinue'and be 'made a ' success',' it's got to be 'housed somewhere, .aiuLllie. ar rangement to enter '.it -in the Chaij- niii,h oYiMiAiirfc'-iii.'ft , sort' Sof .exten sion clopartmbntito ihelregular fcssdii- bly course, vna thought to havo been fully -and mutually agreed -upon by representatives of all clubs, clans and !co(erii'H in If Ms immediate1 vicinity.

The prosecutor of the republic was amazed when a few days ago, a con demned assassin refused them and, in response to a request as to what he desired, said: "I should like to have a "homard a rAmericaine," Tho "American lobster" or the "lobster done in the American fashion" as it appears on the menus of the best es tablishments, requires a deep water stomach in order to digest it. "Can't I get you something in stead," asked ono of the guards, "a aardino or some other kind of fish." "American lobster or nothing," de manded tho man, about to die.

At the Rialto No picture in which Elaine Hammer stein has appeared has received a more complete welcome than did her latest picture, "Handcuffs or Kisses," which hegan yesterday for a three day engagement at the Kialto theatre. A fast moving, actionful story with in tense dramatic situations, good direc tions, strong support and realistic scenic effects, all contributed to a suc cess that was complete. It deals with lifu in a girls' reforma tory and the fiction piece closely re sembles some of the actual happenings that have transpired at Bedford Refor matory and other large institutions. Miss Hammorsteln's interpretation of the part assigned her is both artistic and human.

This city under soviet rule bears many resem blances to another city of unique beiui tv, Budapest, ilungary, when that gay place of opera and fine streets and houses and handsome people was fa voied by a soviet, under tho ardent Bela Kun, in the spring and summer of 1919. Before that time both were wealthy and well-cared, for, despite the long and disastrous war. Business was fairly brisk, shops were filled with expensive articles, with all that the heart desired in adornment. When tho correspondent saw this city of Tiflis two years ago, its mag nificent Georgian club, a hugo munic ipal resort open to rich and poor, was the scene of unbounded gaiety. Hero public hospitality was handed out broadly to all strangors. its littlo theatre was filled with good dancers and actors and singers. , Now, until the opera reopens, it Is the sole placo of amusement, except the movies.-- It is attended by red sol diers, its gardens filled by faded street beauties of the other sox, while those bourgeoisie who ha,veiibeon unable to flee hold forth In ft modest little res taurant, downstairs calle.d the Cafe do Parts.

Anyway, people might just as well walk, as they have no special reason for getting anywhere quickly. Tho home3 of Tiflis, once so vast and elegant in their hospitality, are still outwardly handsome but tho Inter iors nre different. Most have been requisitioned and divided, with their furniture slowly finding Its way to tho pawnshops. Ono man, formerly prom incnt as a politician, has had all of his fine residence taken from him and each time ho finds a furnished room, It is requisitioned at tho order of some old enemy, until now ho lias been made to move eight times. - There is still enough clothes left from the old days so that nobody ap pears shabby. Of work for a living there is little or none. The only civil lzins influence left Is tho Near Kast Relief. There tho correspondent met a woman looking for work. She was from Riga and hud lived 15 years teaching languages In Tiflis. But now she had no ono to whom to givo les sons or who could pay for them. Work under the soviet was of no use, she said, because it paid only 2,000 rubles a mouth, tho price of a few pounds of bread. She was now engaged In selling foot! and clothing" in the markets on com mission but the profit was so little t(nd courageous as she appeared to be, she begged with tears In her eyes for any kind of a place, sewing, scrubbing floors "anything."

STIFF RESISTANCE OF ILL-FED TURKS A GREAT SURPRISE SMYRNA, Anatola Now that the headquarters staff of the Greek army has returned here after the conclusion of a summer campaign against the Turks in Anatolia, it is possible to mako known some of the phases of the fighting not before available. Tho efficiency and stubborn resis tance of the comparatively ill-equipped forces of Mustapha Kemal Pasha was a growing surprise to the Greeks as they penotratod toward Angora, Kemal's capital. They contested every yard of the Greek advance clinging to their trenches with flerco tenacity until tho sheer weight of numbers of their aggressors overwhelmed thorn. The hills and ravines of Anatolia were strewn with thousands of their bayon- etted bodies, for they stood their ground until death claimed them. The Greek soldiers themselves say they never faced a braver more determined foe. That Kemal's forces wero nblo to fight so effectively is considered re markable since the Greeks believe the Turks were lacking in many essentials of equipment while tho Greeks wero well-organized and well-equipped. Tho Greeks had several thousand motor-truck3 and automobiles, while (he Turks had less than 100. The Greeks enjoyed superiority also in the moro vital matlor of rifles, artillery and machine guns. As regards man powor, tho preponderance was in fa vor of tho Greeks by tho proportion of one and a half to one. 1 ho Turkish troops were garbed in rags and were miserably equipped, whllo tho Greeks were well clothed, shod and accoutred. Kemal's airplano servico consisted of two machines. His adversaries had moro than a dozen. The one branch of equipment in which tho Tnrks tin doubtedly axeelled was In their rail road service. Thoy had 25 locomotives and more than 600 freight and passen ger cars. Another vital clement of strength was their powerful natural defensive positions against the Greeks, consist ing of range after range of fortified hills and carefully prepared trenches. Lastly, their Intimate knowledge of (ho terrain over which they fought was a factor of groat value. It enabled thorn, for one thing, to make fierce at tacks in (he night whllo their oppo nents wero groping helplessly in (lie (lark over ground and amid surround ings that were entirely unfamiliar to them. ; How; well tho Komnllsts fought Isi shown by tho fact that in' the first ten days, of tho big Greek drive toward Angora, 9000 Greeks were killed or wounded, while tho number iotjTtukH who fell in action or were wounded. was only slightly moro than half tha( total, iA great part of tho Turkish ef ficiency is ascribed by the Greeks to the fact that for every dozen men in. the Turkish army thero Is ono officer nnd refusal to fight is ' punished by death. It Is also said that the Kemnl- ist artillery is manned laregly by offi cers. coa THE violent paroxysms of coughinff soon cased by Dr. King's New Discovery.
