Straight and tau you stand, America,
An. VINO love yeu deeply
Gan see beneath the sh&ms
The soul of YOU.
You are q creature OF a thousand
moods,
And have seen them all,
Sometimes You glory in Just Twins,
Fling back your head and laugh, en-
raptured.
Until the white, %hewildered stars
Come out and listen to the music.
Sometimes when you are yearning
most.
To take an open road that wanderS off
Beneath an open sky,
Or run across a tangled meadowland,
A-riot with red clover blooms,
Or touch with reverence a 5aby's hand
The people think you over-say,
Because you smile with painted lips;
Yet | have seen you sit for hours
With dreams more beautiful than
stars
Alight in your soft eyes;
And once, oh, my America
| saw you stand,
White-faced and anguished,
But even then in your clear eyes
saw the strength and the serenity
OF your own patient mountains
OF your own tranquil lakes
Oh. foolish ones, who say America
Is lost to truth!
You have never seen the heart OF her
As | who love her see 1t.
know she is as human
AS are the million people,
Weeping and aspiring and ela'eo
She gathers to her breast. >,
She hesitates to bare before the WorIo
The innate goodness that is hers
And so she sometimes hides
Beneath poor sordid sh ans
The bigness, strength and beauty
OF her inmost soul.

DON'T LET THE WORLD
DOWN YOU

It's a funny ole world is what they
all say,
It's made up of work, not very
much play:
But in the end it always pays
The trials, l mean, and all the blue
days.
It's natural you know for US to have
hard knocks,
For even in the rosiest days there
are a few rocks.
We look to the future and plot and
plan,
But all we can do is the best we can
Wen leave the rest to the dear old
Fate,
To give us a square deal at airy rate
And when We are worried, and things
go wrong ,
Remember It's all in the game-try
singing a song.
"Aint We Got Fun" will make you
feel better,
Or maybe you will like to write
some friend a long cherry letter.
Maybe They're also homesick and blue,
And would like awfully much tc
hear from just you.
Don't gloomily sit the whole day
through
Think right hard, isn't there some.
thing to do?
Don't say again the worlds a crue
ole place;
1t may be but we're still in Life
race.
I've had the blues and been worried
many a night,
Over a broken collar bone and said
1T jes amt right.

There's been many a time that "
been sad.
But say, ole dear, | want to quit tina
stuff;
When ! want the impossible,
III not try being rough.

Poor attempt but I'm blue nov
and a good pastime,

THE BANK OF NATIONS.

One of the bank presidents at the
Gaamter OF Commerce luncheon Hi
the DEMONSTRATION after listen
luz 10 Senator Eitchooo6's address on
the plan for q Bank Of Nations, said
he wa for il.
I'm FOR it. ne said, because the
bankers, as a body were against the
Federal Reserve System They are, as
- body, against the Bark of Nations.
That's enough to swing me over IN
support Of it,
The bank president probably was
a bit humorous. Whether he was or
not, the fact remains that the Sena-
tors address was one of the best de-
livered in Philadelphia for some time.
Mr.. Hitchcock doesn't claim his plan
is perfect. Far from that. He says
it is crude. But he insists the pres
ent credit agencies are inadequate and
/ the financial mind of the world must
give its earnest attention to the es-
Establishment of credit so that COM
merce may be restored.
He said the Ter Meulen plan was a
makeshift, the Vanderlip one insult
ficient and the Over idea for a Fed
eral Reserve foreign bank of merit,
but lacking in breadth through being
a strictly American institution.
His own scheme, he explained, put
leadership and control with the Unit
ed States, but brought in all solvent
rations that desired to participate.
1t was. in effect. a great clearing
house of bills of exchange for all the
world.
He said we had been playing the
dog in the manger in the way we had
been accommodating gold and were
using only a little of our hoard for
the benefit of the world.
Foreign exchange now was a thirq
of gambling and speculation. A Bank
Of Nations would rid the exchanges
: cf this and return them to the basis
of honesty.
International commerce would ad
l lust itself, he declared, when we FRO
vided for it the same general methods
2 of france that we had found eff
! cient in domestic commerce.
i The picture the Senator drew o
the effect on the American farmer
owing to the prostration of foreign
commerce. was striking in its Illus

tons and the depression in one sec

performed with the hope that it would

moments followed, when hope IA

manhood which brings the greatest
happiness and comfort to the largest

His body accompanied by relatives
