And the bal ance of his argument was of the same caliber. But Mr. Clements made a big score, even with mea ger space. "Thfc primary purpose of the plan," he said, “which is to distribute widely a wide volume of pur chasing power, directly to the masses, is the surest safest and quickest way to re-establish the velocity with which our circulating medium must move if we are to have a stable and lasting prosperity in America."

Page 7 * Brad's Bit O’ Verse By CLEM BRADSHAW ♦ 41 ST WAITING Grandma dear, with her snow-white hair, Sits and rocks in the old arm-chair In her cozy place by the fire’s warm glow Where flickering shadows come and go. Knitting away as the moments fly, Thinking of days that have long gone by, Wrinkled and faded and bent and old, But rich in her life of purest gold. Soon we shall miss her cheery smile; Soon she will finish the last long mile; The end of the journey is almost here— “I am just waiting,” says Grandma dear. Adown the road to the green-clad hill, To the city that lies so cold and still, Hope after hope she has seen depart, Leaving the void of an empty heart. Joy and sorrow and hope and pain, Sheen of the sunlight, clouds and rain, Toil and burden, and stress of time— She has passed through all with a faith sublime. What is her dream in the old arm chair? What do the freighted memories bear Back to the fields of the far away As she sits and rocks at the close of day? Knitting away in the twilight deep. Rocking away as the shadows creep, Wistfully sweet is her smile of cheer— “I am just waiting,” says Grandma dear. /V One of Ashland high's finest Allan Brower has been confined athletes has played his last iraní» to his home by illness this last f • the Iowa Street institution. week.
