make modem hotel Of it, supplying
all the modern conveniences that we
know how TO put into it. You say yoa
would like to come South and spend
your winters with us; all right we will
soon Be paving tie way for you to
come and do so. Now, wouldn't you
like to help US a little by sending in
some money to help build the hotel.
Suppose you send in some money, let
us use it, we to reserve you a room,
or rooms, for your special use when
you wish to come here. A plan is un-
der way to put this idea into practi-
cal action Our bath House is done and
in operation. Now, don't think it a
model affair, such as you see in the
cities; but it is just as useful and gets
you just as clean; and cooperative
hands did all the work and no cost is
attached to your getting cleaned up at
any time. Cleanliness adds to the
health of the community and we are
a healthy crowd of people, too. Com
rade Yarnell has decided to make New
llano his home and has signed up his
working contract. The Yarnells are
now located at the dairy; Mrs, YarnelI
is cooking for the fellows that work
there and Mr.. Yarnell expects to take
making IS his trade. Fil
has had some experience as a black
II tomrade Alexander is begin
ming work at the broom factory and
y sfeodily arnployed at that worE
from now on. He expects the rest Of
his family soon. The kiddoos went on
blackberry picking picnic to-day and
came home with berries and the recoI-
lections of a~good time. The woods
are beautiful, the berries plentiful, and
the youngsters enjoy the picnic lunch
and good fellowship on these jaunts.
1t is a shame to think of the millions
of little folks who are robbed of such
pleasures and the chance to see mother
nature in her southern glory. Work is
to begin at once on the state highway
through here and we will have to tear
down our big shed next to the rail
road; the broom factory will have to
be moved. but we will be in a position
to plan permanent fire-proof buildings
as soon as this road is made, so let
it come and we will then improve our
place in harmony with the permanent
right of way. The dancing school and
dance were held as usual and after
that ice cream and cake were served
to the orchestra and a few young
folks who usually assist in extra help,
in making the dances a success. Myr-
tie Kemp is running a refreshment
stand every Saturday night while the
dance is on and is quite proud of the
cash she turns in as we'll as the pleas
ure it adds to the dancers to be able
to get refreshments.
*** s
Sunday, May pa fine warm day,
one that makes every thing grow and
puts the sugar into the berries. Some
of us picked strawberries this am. and
we had short cake at the hotel for din
ner. Say, Comrades, this dinner we
had to-day, does it sound good to you
-creamed vegetable soup, roast goose
with Drowned gravy, boiled cabbage,
and strawberry shortcake, with the us
ual bread, etc, and the usual drinks ?
1AlI we wanted to eat for ten cents
Think of it. Cooperation did it and
does many more wonderful things than
this. Can you equal it7 A volunteer
crew worked at cleaning the big straw
berry patch, but as a rule everybody
laid off to rest from a big weeks work.
Some fishing parties are out and some
berry-picking crowds are gathering the
wild berries that tempt us at evoiJy-
side. The mental science class was
the only order of the evening, but all
those who attended were well repaid
for their presence. To understand our
problems and the knowledge of their
solution is our aim and these meetings
are helping us to understand.
! Monday, May 30-This morning the
Ikiddoos and | took vacation and a
Ihoe or other tools and made united
assault upon the cabbage and straw
berry patches in the general garden;
with the assistance of old Sol we made
the weeds and surplus grass fade a
way from their resting place, to be re
legated to the scrap heap for fertiliz-
er. When this bunch of young folks
organize to do a job, it is done in a
commendable way. Even our office
force stopped tickling the typewriter:
to do their bit. The farm work anc
building operations are going on as us
ual and we are making good time while
