PSYCHOLOGICAL MEETING

The psychological meeting Of Llano
Colony is certainly a most unique in
lstitution. one calculated to bring about
a thorough mutual understanding a.
mong the comrades and unity of pur-
pose that it would be impossible to
reach in any other way. Everybody
talks right out in meeting, telling what
does not meet with approval in any
particular instance.
Comrade Pickett started the ball
arolling on Jan. 20, 1921, by mar
rating his experience at the Co-opera-
i've meeting at Rosepine on the day
previous. stating that neither an under
standing Of, nor the spirit of. cooper
alton was very much in evidence there.
and that without the feeling Of solidar-
ity and undivided devotion to united
interests no success could be expected.
From the gist Of the little speeches
made. it can clearly be seen that the
speakers are largely unconscious of
the fact that what they are really talk
ing about are their reactions to the
.ceaseless play of external conditions.
The emotions or sensations aroused in,
them are the basis of most of their
Judgments. The dexotee to dame mic
Otine who enjoys and takes great COM
fort in good (l) smoke, is generally
entirely unconscious that his smoking
in the presence of another. may be
positively sickening and detrimental
to the other person.
In this way, much unhappiness is
caused In ones associates, that was
never thought Of by the one infIicting
it. Thoughtlessness is one of the chief
failings of most people. If we would
be more considerate of each other in
our daily intercourse, our whole out
look upon life would be, changed.
Good will among men;" this is the
supreme remedy for all the ills of hui
man society. When it becomes the inn
pulse of daily life and is united with
positive knowledge practically applied,
the golden age. longed-for since inn
times. will not be far away.
As step in that direction, suggest i
ion was made that Good Word"
Club be formed. All that is necessary
to this end is that everyone decide on
idle, unpleasant, and mega
tive thoughts and words tc the utmost
Time is really the most important cap
ital that each one can contribute to the
success Of this Colony. and when all
our time even our leisure moments, is
used construcdvely and for beneficent
ends, prosperity beyond our expecta-
hon will be the portion of all our mem
oers.

OUR YOUNGSTERS
GIVE FINE SHOW

The colonists at Newllano are proud
of their young people. and have good
reason to be. Even our kindergarten
pupils displayed self-possession that
is prophetic of self-reliant manhood
and womanhood in years to come. We
have reference to the show given at
the theater last Sunday night. The
marches and songs BY the kindergar-
ten reflect credit both upon pupils and
teachers.
And the gymnastic stunts and exer-
cises presented by the two classes in
physical culture. under the direction
Of Professor George Pickett, amply
prove what comrades claim for his sys-
tenn Of training as muscle builder.
We have some hudding athletes a
mong our young men and women. as
was amply shown in the Indian club
swinging and the ring exercises. No
ma Robertson. especially, is little
wonder, and undoubtedly the juvenile
champion athlete of Louisiana.
In conclusion, educational reels fur
lished by the government were shown.

Mayor Wallace M. Short. Of Sioux
City, Iowa, who is also lecturer for
the Peoples Church Of that city. IN
his book, The Deeper Meaning Of the
Temperance Question cites the case
of a young man, placed under his
charge, whose intemperance he traced
back to the unwise pampering Of ap-
petite, connived at BY an indulgent
mother. He was from babyhood up
accustomed TO sweetmeats and highly
spiced foods. jams and pickles. and
had not learned to restrain himself in
any way.
The farmer, who has little work for
his horses in winter. reduces their
grain ration at such time. because he
finds them unmanageable if too heav-
lily fed.
Certain foods are strongly aphrodi-
siac IN nature, and should be discarded
BY those aspiring TO self-mastery.

HARD TIMES DANCE
LINCOLNS BIRTHDAY

Lincoln's Birthday this year falls on
Saturday. February II, and Valentine
will be the following Monday; so the
dance committee Of the Llano Colony
has seized upon this occasion to add
flavor to the usual dance by calling
ii hard times dance.
Hard times have not affected the
Colony, but most Of the colonists can
entef into the hard times dance with
out much preparation.
Only those dressed in hard times
costumes can be admitted to the floor
during the dancing. So that everyone
will adorn themselves suitably.

for some good soul to come here and
look after our little tots--start them
out in life with all the necessaries to
