At that tune there were missing only the re- turns from Districts and s and Pre- cinct l of District 10. The figures from these districts are expected, how ever, to make little, if any, change in the present result
 All the propositions were carried that for the enlargement of the east ern canal receiving the greatest ma jority.
 There was no contest for the office or vice-president, and c. $. Stewart was reelected to that office. In the districts where there were contests for members of the board of governors the results are as follows:

ELKS LOOK FOR BIG RESULTS IN THEIR
 BUILDING FUND DRIVE.

''We are working just as hard as ever, and we expect to show. big re- suits, bigger than anyone will expect" said c. w. Crane, chairman of the fi- nance committee in charge of raising funds for the purpose of building the new Elks home al the corner of Second avenue and Adams street.
 There is definite job in front of us," continued MT. Crane. We simply must raise that s200,000 or there will of necessity be lot of explanations to make, and none of us on the committee to raise the money want to make any explanations. At the present time we are well above the S5e,000 mark, and are aiming high and working hard"
 Although the Borderland excursion, which will leave this morning for a tour of the border towns, will take a number of business men out of the city, the committee has decided to make efforts just as strong on those who are left.
 Thus far the replies from the Eiks who have been approached to buy bonds for the new building have been up to expectations. There is a great deal of rivalry at the present time as to who will sell the largest individual subscription. There is a keen contest on among the teams selling the bonds as to which will sell the greatest amount.

a faithful loving wife and kind de-

often called in to advise and see if he
could do anything to alleviate her
suffering, also Mr.. Fred Brown mana
ger of The Central Drug Company
who never appear to tire in sending
her some little delicacy that he
thought would please her. I do not
suppose that any one but those who
have passed through this trying or

our hearts are when we go out and
look at the little mound of earth that
forever hides from our view that
kind face and form.

One of the outstanding musical fea-
lures of Chautauqua will be the ap-
pearance of Josephine Martino, prima

credited by prominent critics and mu-
sicians as one of the most promising

cal event and is rated as an Ellison
White scoop by Eastern Bureaus. -
In January, 1919 Miss Martino sang
before Enrico Caruso, Gatti-Casazza
and Alex Lambert, probably the three
best figures in New York musical cir
cles. Ever since that time Caruso
has taken an unusual interest in Miss
Martino and has coached the operate
numbers she will use during the COM

young New York prima donna has
been singing for the Edison Company
and in the near future her records

unusual because of it's intrinsic sweet
ness and beauty, unusual because of
it's exceptional range and power. She
displays remarkable technique, evil
dencing thorough musical education
and fine artistic finish She sings at
all times with delightful ease and alb
sOlute confidence.
