COOPERATIVE STORE
MAKES EXCELLENT SHOWING

L. H. Smith, Secretary Of the Or
cult Cooperative Store. contributes
short article in a recent number Of the
Weekly News Letter in which he
points out the encouraging start made
by the co-operators there.
The statement for the store for the
period beginning January 3lst to Au-
gust 10th, 1920, shows the store to
have made $2.515.50 undivided pro-
fit. The membership is now over 300
and the paid capital in excess Of
$4,000. The total cash sales for the
six months were $50,046.81.
The Oil Workers Union and the CO.
operators in Orcutt are practically the
same thing, as there has beeh the
heartiest kind of cooperation between
them from the start. The store now
occupies the lower floor of hand
some building owned by the Oil Work
ers' Union.LPacific Co-operator

The. Colony Diary
Being Daily Report Of Colony Life at LIanO

Wednesday, November l7-The
call to the sweet potato harvest is still
the only audible sound in the Colony
to-day. There are about every avail
'able man on the farm and many Of the
industries are contributing to this bus
mess. The shoe shop has to attend to
Its business, as has the bakery and
the print shop. Roedemeister, how
ever, has left the shoe shop and is now
repairing crates for the potatoes. Com
.rades Buhre and Horne are still cut
ting sugar cane and it is being hauled
for burial for next years seed. There
will be enough cane put by to plant
fifteen acres next year. As this cane
Imakes about 400 gallons of syrup TO
the acre, we hope to have lots of cane
syrup. Comrades Synoground and
Satnan have taken the rip-saw from
the old location and hitched it up to
the steam engine in the saw mill. The
apple boys are out with apples again
to-day, but they will be taken off the
apples for few days as their team
is needed for the crops. A birthday
party at night was a pleasant social
feature. The Esperanto class was not
held because Of big rain which broke
over the Colony just at that time
Comrades Haynes is back on the job
again after a days rest. AL Is a fine
carpenter and is doing a good job lin
ing the concrete. kiln for another evap-
orator house. Comrade Tackett has
been helping him. Daddy Thomas is
running the laundry engine and help
ing unload crates at the evaporator
house at the same time.
y T = =
Thursday, November l8-It is cool
er and damp to-day after the rain last
night. All hands and minds are again
on the sweet potatoes. Comrade Berg
man, new member, is working on
the sweet potato crates to-day, and
"Roede" is helping him between times
when he is not in the shoe shop mend
ing harness. The laundry is busy a.
gain to-day with bunch of washing
from Leesville. The women are work
ing over the apples again and we are
eating all we can. The apple boys
are on the farm work to-day, Van Nu-
land hauling cane to the graveyard
for burial, and Comrade Caron fixing
the roof of the evaporator. The black
smiths are busy making hands with
fingers to rake out the potatoes with.
Comrades Haynes, Lindsey, and Berg
man are working in the new dryer,
and unloading the wagons as they ar
rive. To-day was a good day in the
hauling of sweet potatoes, nearly 400
bushels being dug and hauled. Com
rade Scharrer, who has been hauling
cane for several days, missed load
this afternoon when his team ran a.
way. Ole and AL, the twin mechanics,
fixed DeBoer's shoe car this morning.
and worked on another car in the af-
ternoon. The Democrat came off the
press to-day, and Mother" Crawford
has it all in the mail Mr.. Foley from
Canada came in yesterday, and is
around without his coat on.
1t was 20 below zero when he left
home. The psychological meeting to-
night was well attended and was very
interesting. The mind Of the Colony

Friday, November l9-The weather
turned cold to-day and the north wind
indicated an early appearance of frost
Additional men were transferred to
the farm department this morning and
every man seemed to be busy. Pick
ing and hauling sweets" and cut
ting and hauling sugar cane are pro-
ceding with all speed. In the after
noon the printshop closed up for the.
week end and they were in the sweet
potatoes. Over thousand bushels
have been hauled and stored. A tel
egram Of greeting and good wishes
was dispatched to Comrade Pickett
who is attending the cooperative con-
vention in Cincinnati. Comrades Ole
Synoground and Marcus DeVine went
to Shreveport early this morning on
Colony business and they will combine
a little pleasure with the trip by visit
ing John Wills. Mrs. Synoground ac-
companied them in the car.

is unlucky, is it not? Well, the cold
north wind of last night forecast frost
and we got it. 1t was not very much,
but enough to kill the vines on the
sweet potatoes. The plowing, pick
ing, and hauling of potatoes was stop
ped this morning and the crew were
put to hoeing off the vines from the
potatoes. 1t is necessary to discon-
meet the vines from the potatoes in
order to preserve the keeping quail
ties, after the frost has killed the vim
es. In the afternoon the crew was au-
gmented so that nearly twelve acres of
vines were cut off. The theory that
elderly men cannot keep up the pace
with the younger fellows was exploded
by Comrade Van DOLLAR who walked
away from the rest Of the bunch like
race horse! 1t goes to prove that
a man is only as old as he feels, and
that he feels as old as he thinks. In
the sugar cane fields, the activity was
no less strenuous. Comrade Lindsey,
seeing the urgency of the case, hitched
up the Fordson to a sled and did some
good hauling to the cane field. The
other teams which had been hauling
sweet potatoes were now available for
the cane. and as a re-ult they finished
the hauling and bedding seed cane.
So the emergency in that line is now
over The industries are at stand
sill now. as most of the colonists are
on the farm en- offfhe Colony tenn
porarily. The Saturd7v night dance
was held as usual, and despite the
cold wind. the crowd was as large as
usual.
The neighbors came in to-day and
bought two more wagon loads of brick
The brick industry is at standstill
now, and will probably not be started
again until after syrup making time,

toward the home, whose object is TO
care for young girls when they are of

efforts.
