streets. constructing drains,
and for the purchasing of
additional equipment for the
combined electric light and
waterworks plants, and the
purchase and construction of

carried by an almost unan1-
nous vote.
There were three propo-
sitions submitted to the tax
PAYERS, and there was only
one vote cast against two of

cast against the other. There
were polled 1O4 votes; 102 in

The total assessment cast
in the box was 1888, 487 90.
This large majority of the
taxpayers of Franklin, both
in numbers and the amount
of the assessed value of their
properties voted, shows con.
cluslvely that the proposed
wise improvements by the
Town Council meets with
their hearty and almost
unanimous endorsement. So
Franklin always acts. She
never hesitates to favor and
bear the burden of progress
and pay the price, when the
propositions bid fair to be
of material benefit to the
whole community. The tax.
payers were given ample time
to consider the propositions.
They were not asked to act
hastily but were asked to act
deliberately after careful con-
sideration and study of all
features. They have now
spoken in no uncertain terms.
None can deny the wisdom
of their conclusion. All will
rejoice to know of the Ger.
tainty of measures that
means so much for the ad-
vancement and prosperity of
our town.

Loves of Pharoah"
A Film Production
Most Magnificent

Dusty and hot was the road to
FINLAND in the sandy mountains of
Posen, but the sight of ancient Egypt
cleaning in the sunlight on the
heights makes the journey worth the
effort. There Ernest Lubitsch had
assembled for "The Loves of Pha-
roah" many thousands of men, wom-
en- and children, who, swarming
through the streets and squares, give
to the massive structures something
like pulsing life. .N,.
Immense and powerful, a sphinx
lowered from the sand, dominating
the landscape. To the right glittered
palace decorated with columns and
sculptures, where Pharaoh used to
live. An immense balloon scared
overhead from which cameramen re-
corded every phase of the coming
battle.
Below in the valley a battle had
started. Through clouds of dust gilt
tering arms, the clatter of shields,
the bowling of wild Ethiopian hordes,
Their ushing of war chariots, fleeing
Egyptians, crying and shouting, of
women and children swarming in
wild disorder, combined to produce
grand, awe-inspiring spectacle.
More than one hundred thousand
persons fought according to his direc-
ton, the greatest number of persons
ever photographed in any feature
film. Mr.. Lubitsch, recognized as
master of mobs since his handling of
crowds in deception" and passion"
here had opportunity to do his great
est work.
Those who have seen "The Loves of
Pharaoh" the great Paramount pic
ture which will be shown at the
Grand theater Monday and Tuesday,
speak of it enthusiastically as the
most massive picture ever filmed.

the long strike of railroad shopmen,
and a request by eastern labor lead
erS that Attorney General Daugherty

meetings, and he declared that the
railroads were well pleased with the
way men were coming back to work.
From the labor side, the big move
was telegram sent by John J. Dowd,
chairman of the general strike COM
mittee of the eastern shopmen, to Sem
ator Borah calling for the impeach-
ment of Mr.. Daugherty and Judge
Wilkerson.
The result of the resolution adopted
by the executive committee of the

ist in the greater city to assess him

ry of the central strike committee
