Our faces are turred toward the coming
dawn.
We are all very busy, but then life is duty,
and action and altruistic work
Our printerv and laundry building is being
pushed by the construction gang.
A cooperative colony is good place to I'M
fold the Utmost nature of your being.
Bro Cochran's title is superintendent of
wards, but the boys call him king of the
kids"
Our school is in full blast again, with some
thing over fifty pupils enrolled. Bro. Lee ard
Sister Savage are in charge.
Equality colony has 100 acres of land in Col
orado to exchange for good second hand ma
chinery. A good trade given. The land is
valued at 800.
Our economic relations as colonists are
such that we can inculcate the principles of
brotherhood in our growing youths until, by
precept and practice it is bred in the bone.
Brother Nosivitch watched his chance and
catching Bige Eddy little off duty, seized
Bige's pipe, and now Nosivitch says, between
gasps, he knows why Bige is such a calamity
bowler.
Bro Ballinger our timer, is making a
sheet iron stove that astonishes us. 1t is a
model of beauty, utility and cheapness. You
will not catch us buying monopoly made stoves
any more
Our printery and laundry building will cost
about $50 besides our labor. Under COM
petition we would have been forced into idle
ness most of the time any way, so what does
our printery cost us? Think it out.
Bro. Ed. Dillon, Jr.. of San Francisco Cal,
is here studying the cooperative principle in
motion He thinks we have done great
deal of work and have lot of it to do yet.
What he thinks of us socially he has not as
yet divulged.
Bro. Ballinger tells us that he has some
patent milk cans and pals that are the best
for the purpose ever made. He is going to
have some ready for sale in a short time. The
Colony Notes editor is not going to skip Bro.
Ballinger's shop, when looking for items.
Mrs. VIM. D. Cunning of Boston, Mass.
donates the following books to Equality IL
brary Madam Bovay, The Philosophy of
Anarchism, Catechism of Socialism, Indus
trial Echoes, Civilization cause and cure,
The Red Heart in a White World, and some
pamphlets. They all make valuable addi-
tion TO our library and we feel grateful to the
donor
He's true TO God who's true to man
Wherever wrong is done
To the humblest and weakest
Meath the all-beholding Sun.
That wrong is also done to US
And they are stones most base
Whose love of right is for themselves
And not for all the race"
When each grown person goes into the d.
ming room for his meals he parts with
ticket upon which is printed Good for one
meal if presented by so and So" These tick
cts are given out once a week, y in a bunch,
to each worker. But Bro. Humphrey has
found new use for them. When asked what
day of the week it was he counted his tickets
and replied that it was Friday noon. This
may be an excellent plan, but it looks TO me
thatif he loses ticket he would eat supper for
dinner and get up at midnighJ for breakfast.
Industrial Freedom announces that it Is
in no way responsible for the alluring pic
ture OF MS that our over-euthusiastic friends
create in their own minds. Repeatedly we
have said that we are still in the hardship
stage, and that only those who know them
selves to bg sturdy in body and soul need ap-
ply We do not want anyone to join that
will afterward s be dissatisdei from any rea-
son. We shall not be party to enticing any
one here We invite all to come who believe
themselves fitted for the WORK. but no word
OF ours must be construed to mean that we
wish to get them here without giving them a
full and open investigation of what we have
.aad then let them decide for themselves
