/ for the laundry and when that is Tin
Iished, Mr.. Davis expects to increase
Jour laundry business to a considera-
Ible degree. Work has begun on the
right-of-way for the new state road
and arrangements have been made for
us to clear away the trees that are cut
down, for fuel or other purposes. Yer
non and Comrade Gaddis are hauling
ilogs as usual, but will soon be getting
wood for the brick kiln. Comrade W.
| Langridge and Murrell are now fixing
up the bakery wagon and we shall soon
be back on the Job of retailing bread.
| We are going 10 try to introduce the
whole wheat bread on the market. This
bread is made from flour we grind
right here and it contains all the food
value of the wheat grain. Comrade
Langridge, Sr. is completing his gar
age and the sleeping quarters for Earl
Rowe and Comrade Braughton, at the
dairy ranch. The dairy ranch has
sure been having a building campaign
in progress. Comrale Montrose and
| were in Leesville to-day and he
was introduced to a number of bust
ness men Of the city in order to ac-
quaint him with the business psychol-
ogy of our neighboring towns people.
A reader of the paper writes in and
says he does not see how the lady
reporter" who writes the diary finds
SO much material to write about from
day to day. Why, it is no mystery at
all; we deal with every phase of hui
man existence here and all kinds of
human beings. The actions of each
and the cause Of his actions as well as
the effects on the community, offers
opportunity for world study right at
home, and we have begun to learn
more about the human animal than
you can possibly guess. 1t is an every
day problem and will never wear out.
Progress brings its problems as well
as the working out of PHILOSOPHERS. The
''lady reporter" sometimes gets so full,
she nearly runs over. Don't worry
about the possible cutting off of the
supply, it is inexhauStible. The psy-
Geological meeting tonight was the best
we have had in months and several
new speakers were on the floor. One
new speaker said the largest factor we
have in solving our problems here is
our psychological meetings. And heN
is right. Our greatest problem is psy-
Geological. Our economic betterment
has more natural advantages here than
any place l know of, and with intelli-
gent work, we can load our tables with
food; we can raise both
cotton and wool and make our clothes.
We have the finest of clay for brick
and tile, and an abundance of timber
for burning it. But to learn to trust
each other, to abolish greed and jeal-
ousy, lies within each human heart
and capitalism has done much to faint
US all. Our affections toward each
other and our willingness to serve the
as a whole; the abolition
Of suspicion and jealousy from our
hearts it our real problem.

Friday, Sept. 10. = The brick bus
mess is surely picking up; we are sell
ing directly from the kiln every day
and it is causing us to hustle to burn
another batch at once. To-day, as l
strolled around to the kiln, | found
the fellows loading the place for new
burn. Roede was trucking on the dry
ing shed, and Landrum, Buhre and
Thurman were running them down the
shute; Thomas was receiving them at
the other end of the shute: Willhide
and Van were pitching to Waters and
Satnan who were laying up the arch
es = and want to tell you this crew
was busy bunch and it will be only
a few days before we shall be ready
to burn again. Isadore Caron is trim
ming trees for wood; CHS side-kicker,
Barger, tried to trim one of his own
limbs and stuck an ak into his knee,
which will lay him up for few days.)
Quite a crew was on the laundry build
ing to-day and are rushing it to com
pletion. Comrade Coleman is acting
as city water works whenever he has
nothing else to do; he carries water
to the fellows on the job, which again
proves that age doesn't count, but the
motive and spirit of man is the de-
terminating factor. You don't know
Coleman yet, but just wait a few
weeks and | will dress him in pink
tights and lead him our for an intro
duction. Just wait. Kemp is cultivat-
