EVERY OHIO CITY OR TOWN VOTES TODAY ON ELECTION OF OFFICIALS Five Questions Will Receive Referendum; State Dry But Wets Persist (By United Press.) Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4.—Today’s election in Ohio is primarily for the election of city, village and township officials and for other matters of purely local nature. Every city in the state has a may- oralty ¢lection. In addition various otlier city officials are to be elected. Bond issues, city, county and school, will appear on local ballots. Three state referendum ballots wil be voted on. These three ballots con- tain five measures, as follows: Referendum on Crabbe bill pro- viding for the enforcement of state- wide prohibition in Ohio. (Initiated by wet interests). Referendum on joint resolution of Ohio legislature ratifying the federal prohibition amendment. (Wet pro- posal). . Referendum on proposed amend- ment to the state constitution defin- ing beverages containing 2.76 per cent alcohol as non-intoxicating. . (Wet proposal). Referendum on proposed amend- ment to the state constitution re- pealing state-wide prohibition, re- storing the license system and defin- ing beverages containing 2.76 per cent alcohol as mnon-intoxicating. (Also wet). : v Proposed amendment to the state constitution providing for the classi- fication of property for the purpose of taxation. 3L . Even if the wets should win and cast a majority against the ratifica- tion resolution it would not' neces- sarily mean anything, as Ohio’s vote is ynneceseary to sustain ratification. The wets hope for a moral victory and evidently believe other states would follow Ohio’s lead should the wets be successful here. . The Crabbe measure, adopted by the legislature after an extended squaoble, provides penalties for vio- Iation of the state prohibition amendment. Drys claim it is abso- Iutely necessary. Wets claim it s more drastic than the general public wants. ' 'The proposed classification amend- ment, in brief, provides for classifica- tion of property with uniform taxes on various classes. Administration of the amendment apparently de- pends upon laws which would be en- acted following its adoption. The Ohio grange is leading the fight against classification, main- taining it would increase the tax on land and decrease the tax on-stocks, bonds, etc. Workers for the amend- ment claim it provides a more equit- able and jiust pbasis for taxation than the system now prevailing.

REVENGE TAKEN BY ANIMALS Story on Record of Huge Mastiff That Killed Thoughtiess Groom at First Opportunity. Careful observers have put on rec- ord some very extraordinary instances of dogs and other animals which have remembered injuries put upon them, and have eventually retaliated, says London Answers. There Is a’ terrible story on record of a dog, a huge mastiff, kept as a watchdog by a Staffordshire gentle- man, The great brute, was kept chaineé fn the stable yard, and during the very hot weather one of the grooms, noticing the creature panting with heat, threw a bucket of cold wa- ter over him. A week later the dog was loose when the same man entered the yard. He sprang_upon him and caught him by the throat and killed him. A .touching little episode happened a few years ago in a Worcester vil- lage. A boy was the proud owner of a very handsome pair of fox terriers, named Mick and Jerry. Jerry went off one day into a wood mnear by and “tackled' a-badger, which killed him. Raymond, his master, went out to look for him, but could not find him. But two days after Mick was found mourn- ing over the dead body of his com- panion. 5 He was brought back. One day he did not return. His master searched and found him laying dead, his teeth In the throat of the badger, which was also killed. An amusing incident was that of an Indian elephant whose revenge on a new mahout whom he took a dislike to was rather funny. He picked him up and deposited him in the branches of a thorn tree. SOME BOOT AND SHOE LORE How to Polish Footgear When Damp; Trees Should Be Used to Relieve the Pinch. It sometimes happens that one wish- es to polish one’s shoes when they are damp. It is impossible then to get & good polish and yet you have not the time to wait until they are thoroughly dry. If a few drops of paraffin are placed- on a cloth and this is then rub- bed over the leather there will be no trouble. Apply the polish in the usual way thereafter, and the result will be most satisfactory. If new shoes do not naturally take to polish simply take half a lemon, rub the leather with it, and then stand aside to dry. After this treatment a nice polish may be secured with little effort. On the first few occasions of polish- ing new brown shoeg apply the polish very liberally. This will secure a handsomely deep tone that will make the shoes very attractive througheut the rest of their “young lives.” It goes without saying that shoe trees should always be used. It pays these days to use a bit of care in pre- serving the good looks and good shape of one’s shoes. A shoe really never is well taken care of if shoe trees are not used. Tissue paper may be used for the same purpose if stuffed tightly in- to the shoes. If a boot or shoe pinches, try this: ‘While the shoe is on the foot or on & tree, take a small piece of cloth wrung the part that is giving trouble. The pinching. will disappear entirely after this treatment. Subscribe Zor Tne Daily Pioneer.

Bearing the thanks of their nation to the United States and its people, the king and queen of the Belgians, with Prince Leopold, heir apparent, the first reigning family ever to visit this country, stepped upon American soil & few days ago. Beginning his mission even before his formal welcome had begun, the soldier king issued a message to the American people. In part it was as follows : . “The king brings to this nation of friends the testimony of the profound sentiment and gratitude of his country- men for the powerful aid, moral and material, which America gave them in the course of the war. The name of the commission for the rellef of Belgium will live eternally in the memory of the Belgians. “The American people, their splendid army, and their courageous navy powerfully served a g~ it ideal.” Greeted not merely as a king who had chosen war and honor rather than peace and dishonor, King Albert I was welcomed as “a maw, with a man'’s high | sense of honor;:who trod the Via Dolorosa so by the treading of that way | the world might find that treaties are not scraps of paper and that above crown and kingdom, faith and courage must breed, else the banner of a veoph becomes the much-bespattered badge of infamy.” SQUIRRELS HUNT TURTLES IMMENSE STEAM TURBINE.

It is also the first three-cylinder cross-compound unit in America. Superheated steam at 205 pounds pressure enters the high-pressure ele- ment and exhausts into the two low- pressure elements in parallel, con- densing at 29-inch vacuum. At full load, the unit takes 826,000 pounds of steam an hour. All the elements, which, in an emergency, can be used independently, run at 1,500 r.p.m., driving 25-cycle three phase gen- erators of 20,000 kilowatts each, at 11,000 voits.
