where Polly had once stored rubbish
Granny Hope stretched out her weary
bones at night. Polly's bed ranged
the kitchen wall, and the room had
but a bench, two old chairs and a
three-lesged table to offer I'm rude hos
pitality.

but he's gettin' stingy"
She put down the pail went to the

planned, almost as II she had spoken
to herself.
The old woman stirred and lifted
her withered lids.
"Hell amt wet" she muttered. "It's
dry an warm-hot, | mean," and she
shivered, drawing nearer the fire.
"'Tain't like this lakeside"
Granny Hope had been In the Hop
kins' shack since the first winter snow.
Her own hut stood on little point
about a quarter of mile away. In II
she had lived alone ever since her hus-
band had gone down in the Big Blow,
a storm that was tradition In the
settlement, and which only the oldest
inhabitants OF the Silent City could
remember.
One day Polly had found her sick In
bed, and, as she had led the forlorn
billy goat home, so did she bring
Granny Hope, never realizing that in
the tottering old figure she was en-
tertaining an angel unawares. All she
knew was that Granny's tOothless
smile, her cheerful words Of love and
kindliness, made the sun shine bright
er and the meager food more filling.
During the winter. Mrs. Hope had
enco ragged the girl to read. At first
that had been difficult, for the shanty
contained nothing but the tattered
Bible the old woman had brought with
her. Over and over Polly had read
the miseries Of Job the patient. the
long lamentations Of Jeremiah, who al
ways put neT III ullnu Ol Cduuy mop
kins; and she also knew by heart the
story Of the crucifixion Of Jesus, who
so the Bible said, was the best man
that had ever walked the globe.
SO had those winter days Of close
companionship with the woman who
had lived long and suffered much, and
who now was almost ready to on to
larger experiences. brought out In
Polly Hopkins greater capacity for
loving. The squatters called her
"Pollyop, the 1ove-lass." and some
times, "Polly of the sun" Granny
Hope explained this by saying "They
all love you, Poll, an it's out of your
own heart they get the feelin' OF JOY
when they see ye."
From behind the wood-box near
where the goat stood. Pollyop took up
an AK. Tenderly she bent and placed
kiss upon the goats horny head.
Then she touched Granny Hope.
The woman lifted her lids and
smiled at the girl.
whats the matter, love-lass?" she
murmured.
"rm goin' out, Granny" replied
Polly. "If Daddy comes. tell i'm I'll

With the loss that il has cats
ed during the past year. the Wild
sorghum Is now the most serious
phase OF the weed problem which
has always been an important
one for western Kentucky farm
crS, according to Mr. Kinney.
Weeds thrive in the fertile J.

overflow from the Ohio and Mis-
SiSsippi rivers and the tributariee
Of these two. it is impossible to
control the pests through rota-
tion OF crops, thorough prcDara-

cultivation. Because of this sit

OF the state made a usual Gus

are controlled easily by rotation

Farmers in the region where
the pest Is present have various
theories as to the origin OF the
wild sorghum which grows foot
or more taller than other corn
and has black heads. 4 popular
theory IS that the pest originated
from a broomcorn factory in Ev-
ansville. Ind. which dumped the
broomcorn seed in the Ohio river
according To Mr.. Kinney. This
is hardly possible. however. he
states. although Some OF the
heads have brush resembling
that OF broomcorn.

Radical Labor Bodies
Organize Council Here
Approve InternationaIe Trade
Union and Denounce the
American Iegi0n

The General Council Of the United
Labor Bodies, the cndcavor of which
will be to destroy the American Fedora
tion Of Labor as it now exists and con-
vert organized labor to radicalism, was
organized yesterday in Hotel Workers
Hall and will have headquarters at "a
East Fourth Street.
The American Federation Of Labor is
to be deprived of its present leadership
by "boring from within and without"
according to statements made by speak
ers and the General Council Of the
United Labor Bodies is to supercede it
and affiliate with the Red Trade Union
Intcrnationale.
The first official act of the newly
formed organization was to give its ap-
proval to the program Of the Red Trade
Union lntcrnationac. It's second was
to dcnounce the American Legion as
"a menace to the workers" and instruct
affiliated unions to eject all mcmbe RS
belonging to the Legion.
Leaders Of the new movement said
frankly and cmphatically that control
of the general council was to be in the
hands of paid officials, just as in the
American Federation of Labor, as "thc
rank and file is not intelligent enough
to COVern ITSELF"
