old sods and some dressing from the
barnyard, all sorts of things that
would rot and so make food for the
plants. Such pile rotted away is
called compost. and this was to be q
compost pit. You see Farmer Browns
Boy believes in being prepared and
he was already making plans for next
year. when he meant to have the An
est garden anywhere around.
SO as he dug that pit he whistled
he says it is always easier to work
If you whistle at the same time. First
he marked off big circle, and then
he dug and dug and dug, throwing
out the sand in pile on one side.
BY and by that hole was so deep that
only Farmer Browns Boys head ap-
peared above the ground Still he
kept on working, and at last only the
very top Of his head could be seen.
That pit was now SO deep that it was
hard work to throw the sand out
Il guess 1t Is deep enough" said
Farmer Browns Boy, stopping to rest.
'I'll make the sides nice and straight
and smooth and then | guess 1t will
do"
So after while he smoothed the
sides with his shovel, and when he
had finished he had a pit with sides
perfectly straight up and down, and
almost six feet deep. In fact 1t was
so deep that he had to rest his shovel
m onx
on that in order to get out.
IF anybody tumbles in there they
won't get out In hurry" said he as
he looked down into it. "They would
need wings to get out. II is too deep
TO jump out Of, and they couldn't
climb those steep sandy walls. guess
I'll have to keep an eye on this to see
that no one gets caught In it,
OF course he meant his little friends
OF the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest You see he knew that many
OF them often visited his garden, and
1t might be that, not knowing that the
pit was there, one of them would
carelessly tumble in. With his shovel
over one shoulder and whistling mer-
rlly. he tramped home. When he had
gone the garden was just as before
save that down In that far corner was
the great pit he had dug. But Of this
none Of the little people save Sammy
Jay knew. Sammy had watched Farm
er Browns Boy dig it. But Sammy
said nothing about it. He was puz-
zled, and In his shrewd way he kept
thinking and thinking the matter over
and trying to decide what 1t could be
for. At last, because he could think
OF no other use for it, he made up his
mind that 1t must be a kind of trap.
And yet he didn't like to think this,
for he had come to think great deal
of Farmer Browns Boy, and to look
on him as friend. SO he made up
his mind to keep his tongue still and
wait and watch. Time would tell.

PRINTERS FIGHT
REDS ACTIVITIES

New York City ILNS)-Veteran
members of New York Typographical
Union No. 6 have formed a non-
political committee to fight the activ-
tiles of communists in the union
A circular issued by the committee
says that the union has permitted
"the widest and most tolerant atti-
tude toward the expression of opinion
at its meetings"
"But during the last year." it con-
tinues, IAN organized group of work
ers has appeared boasting little in
the way of union service but attend
ing every meeting and so conducting
themselves as to drive regular mem
bers to stay away, leaving control to
the minority.
"This group, small in number but
organized, are communists acting un-
der orders of the communist party,
which in turn takes its orders from
Moscow. In other words, an outside
political organization is trying to
demoralize and wreck No. 6 through
the instrumentality of it's agents who
hold membership in the union"

THREE BILLS FOR

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Three
unemployment relief bills have been
introduced in the senate by Senator
Wagner of New Yorwk.
The first bill would set up bureau
to be known as the United States
Employment Service within the de-
partment of labor, which would assist
states in establishing uniform public

spare their expense.
The second measure would permit
corporations to deduct from federal

JUNIOR HI WORK
TO PROCEED

With the time allowed for appeal
expiring and no further action on the
part of the litigants, Hamilton school
board has instructed all contractors
to proceed at once with the work on
the new Woodrow Wilson junior high
school building. School board last
week awarded the contract for the
electrical work and equipment.
This is indeed good news to Hamil-
ton workers. While, though all con-
tracts with the exception of plumbing
have been awarded outside concerns,
it is expected that local labor will
be employed to do most of the work.
At least it is hoped that this will
occur. 1t is Hamilton money that is
to pay the bill, and it is only right
that Hamilton workmen be benefited
in its spending.

was right where the pit could be of
the most service.
You see Farmer Browns Boy was
going to dig that pit for purpose
1t was to be what Farmer Brown calls
a compost pit. You all know that the
little plants draw their food from the
earth. Ii the earth has no food In it
plants cannot grow, any more than
we can grow without eating. The
food which the plants need, and
which their roots take from the earth,
Is largely composed Of very fine par
ticles OF vegetable matter which has
rotted away. 1t is this which gives
color TO soil and makes it black and
what Farmer Brown would call rich.
When yon find pure sand there Is
none Of this matter mixed with 1t, and
that Is why plants cannot grow
Now in this pit which Farmer
Browns Boy had started out to dig
he meant TO help Old Mother Nature
make lot OF this food for the plants
that he might use next spring TO make
the plants OF his garden grow. In
that pit when 1t was finished he would
from time to time throw the fallen
leaves which he had raked up. and
