 "rho four kopf brothers were to- gether yesterday for the first time in five years. On the field, at end ior the Presidents, was Herbert. Larry famous ShortStOp Of the Cincinnati Reds, sat on the w. & J. bench, ready to hand some encouragement to his brother or pour some advice into the ears of his chum, fellow player and roommate, Coach Neale. In the stands were Walter Kopf, crack in fielder of the New York Giants and the fourth member of this quartet of athletic brothers Otto Kopf, one of the stars in professional base ball circles in Cincinnati.
 "When Herb slipped across the line for the only touchdown of the game the Kopf family staged a cOmbina- ton mass meeting and I told you SO gathering. Larry raced to the other end of the bench and hugged Neale.

Secretary Wallace declared the
country does not realize that farmers
have suffered most because Of u great

The truth Is. however, that while

UNCLE BEN'S STORY

TUST before bedtime each night,
J after playing and romping with
Juno, nice old collie dog. Nancy and
Jack would climb up on Uncle Ben's
knees and beg for Il story. Uncle
Ben had been lighthouse keeper for
nearly 80 years and always had an In
teresting story to tell about his ad-
ventures
Tell us the most exciting thing
that ever happened on the lighthouse, v
demanded Jack, sitting up very
straight. 81 am not at all sleepy to-
night"
So Uncle Ben, after peeping into
Nancy's bright eyes, began his tale.
ut was in the winter of 1888 that
1t happened-one of the worst winters
that l ever spent on Stony Ledge
lighthouse. The ice had piled up and
piled up and pushed the big blocks
of ice around the lighthouse just like
pebbles. This night, | remember, 1t
