Wednesday, May THE weather
is fine and we are rushing things along
in order to get all our, crops in as
quickly as possible. Planting, harrow
ing, cultivating, and plowing are al
ways the big issue on the farm and it
is no exception of the rule this season.
We are striving to the lirnit 10 raise
food enough for not only ourselves and
live stock, but also for those who are
expecting to come to the Colony this
fall. 1t is easy to plan for ourselves,
but hard to plan for you who are
thinking of coming. The stump puller
is working full time everyday and a
fine crew of workers are showing good
results. The tractor is still hauling
logs, but will soon put in some extra
hours on farm work in order to get
caught up and ahead of what we feel
we ought to do. A few more days
and we will have another kiln of
brick ready to burn and the saw mill
will run full handed until the brick
are ready to be placed in the kiln. Van
Nuland and Kemp are preparing the
ground north of the orchard and ex-
pect to begin planting tomorrow.
Carlson is hauling lumber and posts
to the fencing crew. Comrade Tack
ett and DeVine are preparing to build
a new fence aronud the field west Of
Caste Creek. Fred Anderson is do
ing his BIZ" in the line of clearing
land and making charcoal at the same
time. Fred has a fad of letting the
fire pull his stumps and part OF them
he makes into charcoal while the burn
ing goes on. We are still short on this
years land payment and it looks as
if we are going to have to sacrifice
some of our timber in order to make
up the remainder of the payment

THOUGHT HABITS
DETERMINE DESTINY

The institutions of a people, its in
dustries, housing conditions, manner
Of living, comfort and domestic rela-
tionship are determined BY the thots
Of that people, the ideoIogy of its in
dividuaI members. This was the con-
clusion arrived at by the mental sci
ence class at Newllano last Sunday
night. While living on this mundane
sphere and being constituted as human
beings are, with their livelihood depen-
dent upon the knowledge and proper
utilization Of energy and matter, it is
absolutely necessary that a due meas
ure Of attention should be given to
these things. The subject matter of
all economic ideas is derived by per-
ception from natural phenomena out
side of man, but the work of arranging
them in their logical connectedness and
consecutive order is done by the rea-
soning mind. This reasoning mind
everyone is directly conscious Of. In
telligence is the controlling factor in
the universe. Mans knowledge of this
principle is but relative, partial, and
limited now. The extent Of the mean
ing we can attach to the words, mind,
energy end matter, is limited to the
knowledge that we have acquired Of
them. In conducting the studies of
others, it is of the greatest usefulness
to them at first to familiarize their
minds as fully as possible with those
laws of nature, for which direct evil
dence of the senses is available. In
the first stage of their physical edu-
cation, students should be accustomed
10 dwell upon uch general physical
fects as fall under their own actual
: observation. Perception always has

PAY AS YOU GO SYSTEM
TO BUILD LOUISIANA. ROADS

The Highway proposition, fathered
by ex-governor ]. Y. Sanders. with
few changes, has been accepted by the
constitutional convention met at Baton
Rouge, and will become the law of the
state, unless the constitution proves to
be a failure. 1t is the only piece Of
constructive legislation proposed in the
convention, and we believe that it is
the wisest measure on good roads that
we have heard of. 1t puts a tax of
two cents per gallon on all gasoline
sold in the state at retail, and it also
imposes a special tax on all automo-
biles of from ten to sixty dollars on
each car. This will raise an immense
sum and makes those who use the
roads most pay for their construction
and maintenance. 1t also provides
that the legislature may require par
ishes, cities, towns, villages. and road
districts to contribute certain propor-
tion of the cost of construction Of state
and bridges. Mansfield

DOUBLE BARRELED
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Sixteen years ago on the 10th of
May in distant Pennsylvania, Prof.
George K. Thomas and wife of New
llano, joined forces, got married in
fact, and have been engaged in team
work ever since, and pull together just
fine. And eight years ago also on the
10th of May, in the golden State OF
California, Mr.. and Mrs. George E.
Cantrell were spliced for life in the
bonds of matrimony, and actually ap-
pear to enjoy it right along. In order
to properly celebrate the anniversary
of the happy day from which their
married bliss dates, they arranged a
combined observance in the Newllano
Hotel, on Tuesday night, to which all
their friends were invited. Instrument
tai and vocal music, dancing, and re-
freshments were the order of the even
ing. The marriage rite for the two
pairs was performed after the manner
in vogue in the wild and woody West
some, years ago. They were ordered
to clasp hands, the invocation, Hitch
ed was pronounced over them and
the work was done, guaranteed to hold
forever.

SYSTEMATICALLY PLAN
NEW IMPROVEMENT

Comrade Pickett broached the sub
ject of erecting a large hotel on the
Colony grounds. at the last PSYCHOLOGY
meeting, at Newllano. Many people
want to come and take part in the
work, and housing accommodations are
inadequate for a large contingent of
new arrivals. This matter should be
given due attention, first as to loca-
ton, to insure the best possible drain
age; second as to size; third as to pro-
per equipment. Having the brick, the
lumber. the labor, the provisions, etc.,
the money expenditure connected with
the undertaking would be of minor
consideration. The aim is to furnish
all the coIonists with the best kind of
accommodation that human skill and
love of service can provide. The spir-
it of comradeship prompts in that di-
rection. A visitor from Ohio express
ed his appreciation of the courtesy
shown him and of the sociability and
friendliness that generally pervades
the Colony. He spoke Of the security
that the colonists enjoy as compared
to the wage-workers outside, who are
strictly up-against-it.
Other speakers were on the floor
and extoIled the leadership that, is in
evidence, bearing the responsibility,
and carrying on successfully the work
Of the Colony.

COOL SPRING WEATHER
RECORDED THIS WEEK

That U. S. Weather Observer, W,
A. Dougherty, in charge of the New
llano Station, is not always a good
prophet, is shown by the fact that last
week we advised that indications were
for rain for the balance of the week
The rain did not materialize-proba-
bly, because the indications changed,
but friends Dougherty made up for the
mill by giving us week of splendid
cool spring weather. Rain occurred
night but is not recorded in
report. Indications Tuesday
are for more rain.
Following is the record of the tenn
peratures for the week ending May 9:

LARGE BEET BROUGHT
TO OUR OFFICE

Last Friday evening Mr.. Belohrad-
sky, who has lived in the Llano Colony
for a number of years, brought to the
office of this paper a large beet weigh
ing over 312 pounds. He has lots of
beets in his gardens, and is eating snap
beans s inches long and strawberries
which he has raised himself, Other
gardens are producing new potatoes
already, while cabbage, lettuce, gar
den peas, onions. and other truck have
been on the bill of fare for weeks.
All this, it seems to us. is evidence
of the possibilities of this section of the
Parish in the line of truck gardening.

Edison would replace books in pri-
mary schools with moving pictures, on
the plea that it is a more vivid and
compelling method of holding child's
attention than boresome books which
only teach words that have no con-
nection with anything in the child's ex-
perience of life. If accompanied with
explanations that the children can un-
derstand of the things shown in pic
ture. the film could be made a very
effective help in educating the young,
but the actual objects themselves in
full operation would beat the movies
all hollow. Object teaching has been
advocated for many long years, but
school boards seem to be afraid that
the children will learn too much if
more effective methods of teaching be
adopted.

A KIDDOOS' PLAY;
MUSIC AND SONG

The Colonists and their friends at
Newllano enjoyed delightful enter
tainment last Sunday night at the Dix
lie Pride Playhouse. A mems quartette
consisting of Messers. Geo. K. Thomas,
Anton Van Nuland, John Bergman,
end Howard Buck, rendered two excel
lent songs. They are a bunch of fine
singers with good voices. The chill
dren from the kindergarten were on
deck as usual end delivered the
goods. Children also produced a play
let of several acts under the direction
Of Mrs. Robertson and showed them
selves splendid actors. Nellie Kemp,
Harold Kemp, Laura Synoground.
Kenneth Robertson and Catherine Cam
trell who were in the cast have con-
siderable talent and disported them
selves on the stage like little veterans.
Mrs. Dougherty, accompanied by Mrs
Colingwood, rendered an exquisite
song in fine soprano voice that
charmed all present. Mr.. and Mrs.
Warren Buck gave a one-act meIo-
drama of considerable merit Mrs.
CantrelI treated the audience 10 two
fine songs with her usual splendid vo-
calisation. Instrumental music by
Prof. Herman and Miss Trixie EweII
on the piano and violin opened and
closed the performance. Many thanks

program,

Friday, May "a fine day and the
farmers are happy. Comrade Blank
returned to his home in Ohio, fully de-
termined to return with his family and
join the Colony. In walking over the
garden to-day, | found new plants
coming on to bear fruit for colony use,
and it makes me laugh tc hear the old
timer, who never tried to grow any
thing, say: You can't grow nothin
down here" Why, all kinds of small
fruits and vegetables grow here bet
ter than any place | have ever been
in, and have lived in several states
in the Union and in many locations in
each state. A living can be had here
on easier terms than any place | know
of. The brick factory is turning out
as pretty a bunch of brick as you ev-
er did see in your life, and we expect
to fill all shed room some time to-
morrow. Carlson, and Donaldson are
plowing the sugar cane and will finish
the job to-day. Kemp has gone in to
cultivate the corn north of the new
cane patch. Business at the hotel in
booming and Mother Crawford will be
looking for help again unless some Of
us quit eating. but so far we are well
provided with good things to eat-and
as there is no danger of unemployment

gracefully. Such trimming is soft
ening to the contour of the face and
likely to prove most becoming.
You win see that we have quite as
much choice in the matter Of trim
mings as we have In shape, size and
colOring. A few Of the unusual forms
such as the straw rOsette and eagle
feathers have been especially noted.
But for the midsummer the trim
ming that one sees in profusion is
flowers. There is little novelty about
them and it is true that they appear
on the most commercial hats.

away In such small space.

The Summer Hat
Grown of Glory

Hats to suit every face. hats APP
propriate for every occasion and hats
that are, above all, seasonable for the
time Of year during which they are to
be worn. is the ideal that modistes
have had In mind for many months,
the object toward which they have
been steadily working And, writes a
style authority, judging from the mil
linery that is presented for the mid
summer season, their ambitions have
been realized
Those who design and make clothes
deserve a great deal more Of public
appreciation than they ever receive.
They are criticized time and again for
forcing the sales Of costly and sunsea-
sonable merchandise and for SHOWING
models much in advance Of the season
for the sake Of obtaining new business
and making the clothes which women
already have appear a pace behind
fashion.
The most fault-fnding person in ex-
istence could not justly accuse mill
liners Of not having done their very
best this year TO keep dress in its
logical place in regard to the season.
For the sunny months they have made
an extensive showing of typical sum-
mer hats. They have made the wide
trimmed hat, that so becomingly
shadows the face, rival the smaller
hat to a degree not seen before.
Large capeilnes Vie With Toques.
SO much publicity has the wide hat
recently received that women might
be led to believe that the small hat
