Allusion is made to the ease with

How beautiful! but longs my soul to

Watching the varied types Of men

When through the unfamiliar words

Her mountains rose before my eyes as

Endearing words encircled me in my

Lenin Has Plan for AboIishing
Money.

One Of Lenin's benef1cent schemes
for the redemption Of the world on
soviet lines is the abolition Of money.
HIS method of bringing this happy
state to pass is to food the country
with so much bogus currPcy that
real money loses its value by de-
fation and becomes useless as
standard of value. The reputation OF
the bolshevik printing presses is
world wide and the paper shortage Of
Russia is said to be due to the use
OF the paper for making money.
A plot has been laid bare in New
York to flood all anti-bolshevik ma
stions with counterfeit currency to
produce the same effect. 1t is Of
ficially reported that in this country
alone the Reds planned to circulate
5000, 100000 of bogus bills besides
counterfeit Liberty bonds and war
savings stamps. These were to be
put into circulation by agents of the
Russian soviet government, and their
friends of the communist persuasion.
4 certain amount Of the bogus
money is already in the hands OF
bank tei,c-s and secret service agents
are following il thoroughly. The
counterfeit is so we'll made tina. de-
lection is extremely difficult. the
chief difference being that the paper
used is heavier than that Of genuine
United States bills. Large bund!es
of fake currency are SAT-. to be
stored in Russia. waiting to be
L,,ught IL C.. the country Whenever
opportunity offers. Mos. Of i:e
notorious counterfeiters of Europe
are engaged in the Moscow plants
where the stuff is turned out. At
present, smuggling is the only means
by which the soviet plan can be
worked out and great quantities OF
paper are reported to be in use in
India where bolshevik agents are
working overtime to stir up civil wa
among the natives. 1t is not known
to the public just how much boil
shevik money is current in the
United States, government agents
being silent as to the extent of their
activities.
Con Lenin make his theory work
Can he abolish money by issuing so
much that none of it has any value ::
OF course he can. provided he can get
his currency into circulation and
have it accepted. If he can do this
Gresham's law, so-called, can do the
rest. This principle of economics
briefly states that when two kinds OF
money are current the cheaper
drives the decrer out of circulation
and becomes the common medium OF
exchange When gold and silver cir
culate concurrently the silver re-
places the gold. and as between sill
yer and paper the paper drives tie
metal into the vaults. II Lenin cal

In a little over FIVE years more than

Motor Cars have been placed in

If this sales record represented the

How often you hear the car spoken
