There are thousands of peonls
the United States who, if thew b..
all about the Harmony site, woula :
there, as it is good site"
Fate seems to have been agairs.
for we have been clamoring for -
attention of the B G c for moro a.
six months. Ex-secretarv Lern,.

Master Workman Swigart visited o'

contracts to deed to the ASSOCIATE.
for cooperative purposes some II,
acres of land upon receiving M
from reserves to settle $500 mo-
gage on one of our best 40-acre tr,s,
These contracts are on file at natim,
headquarters.
Now a word to reserves and 81.
rades. Where is better offer th,,
ITO acres of land for S4O0 and tb,,,
memberships? This was made. tn
on $3.50 basis. We have since A.
cided to conduct this association /,
two departments:

which things will go about as at RI.

And as we believe we have selfsm

a dozen families. We have decldd
to make the fee for this Departing

department. If there are people ID
willing or unable to pay the fee, d
association will rent them or othe
wise provide them with a home an
allow them to invest money in wha

Or, such may form a group and Al
operate as they please and in wha
ever they please. Said groups vi
cooperate with the communistic ID
partment, never fear. One genera
association will hold all land in trus
to prevent mortgaging and absentee
landlordism.
Now, comrades, if this arrangeme
will not suit you, pray tell Us WI
will.
We have book-keepers, practicd

teachers, one surveyor, farmers. nor
ticulturists, editors, etc. now anon!
our interested correspondents wha
by sending in 800 each would put
100 acres of land in trust, and ena&
us to begin some merchandising
Why not do it, comrades? Are I'd
afraid we will take your money al
defraud you? Then send 1t to Md
Helen NJ. Mason, or Chas. II. Swigat
at National Headquarters, and thq
will obtain this land and effect a pea
manent organization which will star
things to moving at Harmony.
We will endeavor to secure emplG
ment for those wishing to emigrar
to Lewis Co., till spring work opens u
and colony work begins.
Now with such an opportunity fd
those who have but 800, 5000 or 800
to invest, can any one fail to see hos
much .easier it will be for such per-
son TO acquire sufficient to enter tk
$500 colony if they desire? We shall
give such people opportunity to wOri
out their membership as is possible
from time to time in the orders

Harmony local union now has
members. Can any rural distrid
make better showing?
Our friend, X. Bezemer, writes
