is highly probably that a campaign
conducted on lines similar to that out
lined above would result in raising a
sum adequate for building the hospital.
The ground for the hospital would
in all probability be donated by one
of our public spirited men or women;
in fact one of our prominent citizens
has already stated that he would do
nate an acre of land in a suitable loca-
ton and he accompanies this offer
with further promise of $500, an
other of our citizens offered $500 in
cash, both offers coming unsolicited.
Many cities offer factories and
other manufacturing concerns exemp-
ton from taxation, water and light
and it is reasonable to suppose that
our hospital would not only receive
this exemption for a certain number
of years but the city and county
might be induced to contribute liber-
ally towards this worthy cause either
in the form of a single donation or by
a certain annual allowance.
The money and location having
been secured, it would be a very easy
matter to equip and furnish the hos
pital.
Let US say for illustration that the
hospital contained two large general
ward of ten beds each, one for men
and one for women, and ten private
rooms with single bed in each
room
Each of the ten private rooms would
likely be furnished by private individ-
lals, business houses or societies in
he city or county.

Plans For Our Hospital.

Having considered in a previou
article the great needs of hospita
for our community and the advan
tages which would be derived there
from, let us consider how the people
of Union City might proceed in ordel
to make the hospital a reality.
First, a community would have tt
be organized for this purpose of rails
ing the money necessary for the con,
struction of the hospital. Probably
the preliminary step in the organiza-
ton of this committee would be to call
general mass meeting at the opera
house where all of the interested men
and women of Union City could gather
? and listen to addresses and plans by
those most qualified and anxious to
speak on this important subject.
In order that the entire city be
properly notified of this meeting and
that the highest interest in the sub
ject be aroused, all of our local pas
tors could, on the Sunday preceding,
give notice of this meeting to their
respective congregations and urge
them to attend and support this great
movement
Printed notices posted in all pub
lie places as the court house, post Of
fee, banks, store, schools, theatres,
cafes and hotels stating the purpose
and place and time of this meeting,
would unquestionably accomplish the
purpose for which it was intended.
In addition, the various benevolent
and fraternal societies, Ladies Aid So
cieties, United Daughters of the Con-
federacy and other organizations,
could render invaluable aid if they
would be present en- masse at this
meeting.
They should organize among them
selves telephone committees for the
purpose of notifying their friends in
the city and county. On the day CT
the meeting, all automobiles, bug
gies and delivery wagons of the city
should be provided with banners a1d
these going to all parts of our city
ailc vicinity, would additionally ad-
vartise the meeting.
The most valuable advertising how
ever would come from our local papers
IN whose columns would appear APP
propriate appeals from the editors
and citizen. By the virtuous means of !
advertising above enumerated, the en-
tire city and county would be notified,
and aroused, the opera h
house crowded and large and infiu- .

The Education of the
Voter
No. Tread Your Policy
1t Is the Great Document Known as the Con
stitution of the United States.
By THOMAS TAPER.

W THEN you want to take out
Nv life insurance you, pick out,
if you are wise, solid COM
pany. Then you go to the COM
pany's physician for examination.
If he finds you a good risk, you pay
your money and get the policy.
The one thing the company wants
you to do is expressed in these
words:
READ YOUR POLICY!
Why should you bother to read
a policy when the agent has told
you the whole story?
The answer is: ~While he has
told you the whole story, he knows
and the company knows, that you
have not learned the whole story.
There is so much to it, so many
new words. so many conditions.
that it will take you quite while
to get the whole matter into your
head.
You read the policy then to know
your rights and privileges. to I'M
derstand your obligation. to make
the proper demands, and no others,
on the company.
If you go at it in this way you
get an understanding of the whole
matter. That is what the company
wants you to get. They do not
want you to misunderstood the
agreement you have entered into.
So they say to you:
READ YOUR POLICY!
When you become a voter in the
United States. either by right of
birth or naturalization, having
passed the required examination,
you get a policy called a franchise.
This is, in brief the right and
privilege to vote.
Like life insurance. it carries with
it not only rights and privileges,
but obligations.
BY fully understanding these
rights. privileges and obligations
you can make proper demands, and
no others. upon the company.
The company in this case is the
United States of America.
This company, like the one that
issues insurance. has a document
in which its conditions for doing
business are clearly set forth. This
document was drawn up in the
year 1887, and has been in success
full operation ever since.
Certain new conditions arising,
it has ben modified or amended,
and as it stands today it is the sub
stantial statement of agreement on
which citizenship, with its rights,
privileges and obligations rests.
The name of this great document is
The Constitution of the United
States.
It's purpose is to insure to you
those conditions of life, liberty and
happiness that are necessary for q
safe and prosperous existence.
When the Government accepts
you as a voter, places the ballot in
your hands and tells you that you
can cast it as your judgment ad-

A New Story
Bv EBERT HUBBARD
Copyright, 1912. by International News Service

WE are told that all stories
wv had their rise in Egypt in
the time of Rameses II. But
here is a story which traces no such
proud pedigree.
1t is not standard by reason of
parentage; but it is legitimate by
performance 1t has the peculiar
and unique quality of being true.
SO here is the story:
A one-legged man in Poughkeep-
sic hobbled into a shoe store on
his crutches. The clerk, who had
studied scientific craftsmanship and
had just read my essay on Charm
of Manner" wiggled. jiggled, am
bled and minced forward smiled
serenely and asked in dulcet tones.
May I have the pleasure of show
ing you a pair of shoes ?" And the
one-legged man said. Nix on the
pair. One shoe-see!"
The clerk was slightly up in an
aeroplane He coughed, hesitated,
said "er" and "ah,' when the pro-
prietor who had been viewing the
scene through a peekhole from the
back office, came forward and met
the situation as a brave man should
by saying TO the clerk "Show the
gentleman a shoe! How often have
told you to give a customer ex-
actly what he wants? You know
we cater to gentlemen with one
good-er-leg. One shoe? Ger
tainly of course. of course!"
So they sold the man the one
shoe at exactly half the price
for the pair.
This gave the shoe man an idea.
and the next day each of the news
papers in that town contained a
goodly ad, beginning with the slo-
gan. I'VE cater to one-legged men"
OF course. everybody interested
in advertising, and those who were
not. read the ad and laughed. Also
they passed the ad along to other
people. saying, Bill! Well now.
wouldn't this give you the Fam

cams? Think of it, shoe store
catering to one-legged men!"
Every one-legged man in that
town and vicinity had the ad show
ed to him fifteen times before lunch.
Also, every one-legged man in that
town went down to that store and
bought one shoe.
One-legged men can kick Just as
hard as men with two pedals.
Dissatisfied men are always great
kickers. And great kickers are
great advertisers.
This man, who ran the shoe
store, instead of turning a custo-
mer away, made a friend Of him.
Then he took advantage of the ad-
ventitious circumstance and turned
it into an advertisement.
One-legged men associate with
people who have two legs. Most OF
their friends have two legs. Some
one-legged men have families: and
DR. ]. H. Tilden, the eminent zens-
cologist, assures me that when one
legged men wed and have families
most of the children have two good
feet.
The argument is that one legged
men buy shoes for two-legged peo-
pie. as we'll as themselves.
And the result of ADVERTISING
shoes for one-legged men brought a
big lot of publicity and a goodlv
number of customers to that par
ticular shoe store.
1t is great man who can seize
the psychological moment by the
marcel wave and swim safely into
port on the ride of opportunity.
Scientific advertising is physchol-
ogy, and sympathetic attitude
toward the needs of humanity is
the first item in the recipe for sue
cess.
Never turn a possible customer
away. Meet people rightly but do
not fail to part with them in a
way so that when you again meet

born so poor boy that he tramped
the city of Philadelphia with a
small loaf of bread under each arm
and his laundry in his pockets.
His rise from that humble begin
ming to the dignity Of signing so
great a document is recognized
now, as it was then, as one of the
essential privileges to be extended
and preserved to every American
The constitution does not guar
antee that every poor man can ad-
vance to fame and a place of great
responsibility.
But it guarantees to put no let or
hindrance in his way IF HE
WANTS TO TRY FOR FAME
AND A GREAT PLACE.
The constitution has been in op-
GRAFTON 125 years next September.
1t was drawn up with a degree OF
wisdom and foresight that has Oft
en- been marveled at But, in the
course of time, new conditions
arose, just as they are arising to-
DAY.
Some of these conditions were Of
such Importance that they had to
be recognized in the constitution
itself. Hence the amendments, fif-
teen in number.
While the constitution is a ma
tional document fundamental to all
our life and activity as a people, it
is also an individual document in
the sense that it presents a body of
doctrine that every voter should
know.
1t is your starting point az an
American.
If it ever again happens that an
amendment is proposed to the con-
stitution. you must be able to Judge
inteligently of its place and pur-
pose.
When that time comes the daily
papers will tell you all about it, but
they will not print the whole con-
stitution.
They will assume you know 1t.
And this assumption on their
part is akin to that Of the insur-
ance company, which elects you to
the benefits of protection, telling
you at the same time that 1t is
necessary to read your policy.
You will find the constitution
printed in every school history.
There are several millions Of copies
of these scattered over the United
States, and it should be no trouble
for you to get hold of one long
enough to read the policy of the
country that protects us.

hot air. and probably they thought
only of saving them from catching
fire But Mongolier saw infinitely
deeper The peril to the shirts was
nothing TO him. for he had in a
