WASHINGTON-T column, It should be noted in advance, IS ike lv to be dull. But if you are in- terested in keeping your son or husband out of another war; It should be important.
 The United States and Great Britain are just concluding the first agreement aimed to remove the danger of war-an agreement on oil.
 Oil is one of the most tlckllSh economic subjects in the world. Oil is what makes a nation battleships move. runs the auto mobiles, sends the planes into the air-in fact. spells the difference between a nation of strength or a nation which must bow to the whims of others. The present oil agreement seeks to settle the battle for oil; eliminate one important cause of war.
 The last war was scarcely over when Great Britain began maneu- yering to corner the oil supplies ot the world. British leaders were quite frank about 1t.
 "The British position is impreg- nable." said Sir Edward Mackay Edgar. British petroleum banker ..All the known oil fields, all the likely or probable oil fields, out

Every Vote Counts

II someone with a lot of enter
prise and energy were to take a
poll of all persons who did vote
in the last national election and
ask them why they did not vote,
the answers would probably be
something like this: Il us t
didn't think my vote would make
much difference one way or the
other in such big election"
Even in a democracy where
one mans vote counts as much
as another. and where national
elections have been decided sew
eral times in the past by a mere
handful of voters, this type of
thinking still prevails among
many Persons. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Let US
examine a few close elections in
our country's history for proof.
In 1884, Ne YORK state,
which then had an electoral vote
of only 36 as compared to its
present AT. was h e deciding
state in the contest between Gro
yer Cleveland, the Democratic
candidate. and James G. Blaine,
the Republican candidate. Cleve-
land polled 563.l54 votes to
Blaine's 562. 005. which gave him
a plurality LAO.
If a majority OF these 1,l49
voters. or SIS, had voted for
Blaine instead of Cleveland, the
Republican candidate would have
had a plurality of one vote over
his opponent and New York
would have gone Republican. 1t
is easy to see from these figures
that a few votes make lot of
difference in some elections.
In 1916, with the United States
closer and closer to the war rag
ing in Europe, the November
election was the closest in many
years. Woodrow Wilson. running
for a second term against Charles
Evans Hughes, the Republican
candidate, went to bed late cleo
ton night apparently a defeated
man. The electoral vote stood
thus: Republicans, 254, Demo-
Gratis. 264. The report was, how
ever, that California, where the
outcome was in doubt. would go
Republican. That meant t h a t !
CALIFORNIA; - electoral vote 81
would be added to the Republi-
can total of 254, making 267, or
enough to carry the election.
Not until the next day did the
election count in the western
state show that the Democrats |
won by 46G,200 to 1862, 394-a
plurality of only 3,S06. A switch
of l,9O4 Democratic voters n
California to the Republican side
in this election would have meant
that Charles Evans Hughes would
have been war president instead
Of Mr.. Wilson.
Hardly a day goes by that the
report an election in
some community so close that
shift of only q few votes would /
change the result. The balance of
power in many an important is
sue therefore often is vested in
one or two persons.
1t is not likely that az a voter
you will be the deciding factor in
this or any other election. But
the fact remains that individual
votes do make up the total and |
the total decides the election. |
And your vote counts as much as !
else's. 1t is not only your
privilege. but your duty to vote |
Tuesday. November 7. AS a good |
citizen you should d 0 nothing |
less.

Psychic bids are not as dis
turbing as they used to be. Ar
thur Jarmel of New York used
a good one not long ago, made
for the purpose Of defeating the
contract. Although his hand was
void of clubs, he opened the bid
ding with one club. When his
partner made a free overcall of
two hearts and East then bid two
spades, Jarmel decided 10 carry
the psychic on a bit, and bid
three clubs. He was confident
that his opponents were going
TO buy the contract in spades.
North's jump TO five clubs
worried him a little, but East
promptly bid five spades and
Jarmel doubled.
North opened the queen of
clubs, Jarmel trumped and re-
turned a heart. North led an
other club, and again Jarmel
trumped and led a heart. He
was able TO trump third club,
so North and South took the
first five. tricks. defeating the
contract three tricks.

constant repetition of blush
worthy scenes, hundreds of pag-
es of 'em.

who was placed in the care of a
country family. In familiar pat

Vice and crime in every degree

or being in high vogue in the
court Of Charles II, who is re-

consults an astrologer, who pre-

augury true. But credit must be
