She had been putting it by regularly. de- termined to wait until it amounted to a sum substantial enough to make a beginning. She was aware it was insufficient to solve the problem, but hoped it would be a model for the municipality to_work upon. “I feel far more indebted to PI mouth_than Plymouth can ever be to me.” she said, “because you made me, literall home away from home."” LITTLE CONGRESS VOTES. ‘Will Take Action on Ford Muscle Shoals Bill.
