L. Klamroth. our canvasser for Industrial
Freedom is doing some good work 1t is very
doubtful if there is another canvasser for any
paper who takes more subscribers than L.

Equality in the Roseburg, Ore, Review.
The weather is just magnificent, bright
sunny days and the air simply perfect: nights
cool enough to freeze about an eighth of an
inch thick, just cold enough to get move on
your blood, yet some folks presume to console
us on the Washington climate. Save your
tears, dear people.
r. w. and F. M. Harrison of Selma. Ala,
donated $3.50 to the cause of the B c. c.
These wide. awake comrades go at it right.
From every point of the compass comes Just
such practical assistance and encouragement.
The united energy and faith of such a Broth
erhood is invulnerable and will redeem the
world.
Bro. Louis O5erlund has cut some very
fine curly maple trees on our land, which are
good for making violins. He says one tree is
worth Sl00, but it is not for sale. He is going
to make violins himself. He is an expert at
it, and he told me that he intended to make
present of a nice violin to the head boy or
girl of their class.
Mrs. c. II. Cushman remembers Equality
again. This time it is box of reform papers
and magazines, freight prepaid. Thus she
puts another spoke in the wheel of progress.
1t is the central idea of the b c C to add
many Titles together and make the grand
whole. Somany Of our friends are doing these
little kindnesses TO us.
Bro. Chas. Jolly is one of those workers
who have knack of doing a good deal doing
it well and making no fuss about it. He drives
the little mules hauling water, carrying the
feed TO the hogs etc. He has a patent fire
box in the bank near the hog pen covered
with sheet iron and topped off with a stove
pipe. On this he prepares the bill of fare for
the porkers.
E8A slight misunderstanding has arisen in
regard to the machinery fund. Subscribers
were told that If they did not choose to place
their amounts in the fund TO be drawn back
according to the printed agreement, then
they could have il credited on theirmem-
berahip fees. But this must not be con-
strued to mean that the iustallment on a fee
must then be used in the machinery fund.
All membership fees received here as such,
will be used to our best Judgment: but sub
scriptions to the machinery fund so specified
and not credited on membership fees will of
course be strictly used for machinery and
paid back according to agreement.
A laundry equipment has become an abso
lutte necessity at Equality, and it would
afford pleasure to get into commurica-
tion with some one who has a good second
hand appliance. We think it possible hat
we could make some arrangement with aDme
holder of such machinery whereby all Of us
would be greatly benefited. Will all COM
raaes and friends kindly aid US In . search
for the above-described machinery?
