The Worth Of A Vote
Tbe.e will undoubtedly . be some
who will neglect to go to the polls on
election day because they think their
one vote will amount to nothing -
moig the millions that will be cast.
Hut remember Holme's story of the
plan to attract the attention of the
people in the moon by having all the
people on the earth about in ooncert at
an appoiuted time. The time came,
and silouce reigned on tl.e earth.
Ouly a deaf old women aud a nun
in Tlinbactoo shouted. The rest all
rem lined silent to hear the rour ol
the other voloea.
II this fairy tale Is not sulHoiently
convincing to persuade Individuals to
do their little la a great work even if
their share seems small, the following
story of the effect of one vote that
was not oast may bo effective It was
priuted in a reoent Sunday papor and
cr-fli'ted to former Scnaor nd Gov
ornor Tom Crowin, of Obio;
