VERNON PARISH HAS
FERTILIZER PLANT

The work on the fertilizer plant is
proceeding with all speed and Mr..
Coleman is we'll pleased with the work
so far done.
His plant will consist Of a large con-
crete vat with concrete platforms sur
rounding it. where the matter will be
decayed with his secret process. In
his plant he will utilize anything that
will ferment and decay, and the pro-
duct will be equal to any fertilizer
known, not excluding stable manure,
according to Mr.. Coleman.
Of course, the Colony can use this
fertilizer on its own farms and garden
for some time to come, but it is expec-
ted that neighbors can, obtain samples
with which to experiment next spring.
This will eventually add another in
dustry to Vernon Parish.

Wednesday, Sept. 30. = A great
loss has taken place in our community,
through the death of Uncle Jake"
Rhodes. He was one of our most 10y
al colonists and a grand supporter Of
the ideals for which this colony was
organized. Right here let me tell you
another economic condition in our
community, We perform the last sad
duties to our departed comrades with
no expense to the individual family.
1t is an extremely unjust and heartIess
world that takes advantage of our
loved ones in the time of sickness and
death; but here it is community ex-
pense and collective sorrow. And
the families being self-supporting, they
have no change made in their econom-
lc welfare and their position in the
home and community remain the same
as before. Comrade Hoover and Com
rade Scharrer are still building fences
and the job seems to be almost end
less; but what they build is there to
stay for long time. Comrade Angel
has the plans and lumber bill ready
for the roof garden, and is real proud
of his job, and we shall be proud of
the place when it is completed. Com
rade Davis is still improving things at
the laundry; he expects to begin max
ing campaign for outside work soon.
lhe gardeners are again planting seeds
for late fall and winter garden and
from the rumbling in the clouds, |
believe we shall have a rain tonight.
lhe brick burners are keeping up
slow fire and the wood makers are
splitting logs to use at boiler and kiln.
A letter just arrived asking how the
Colony was run. Now this is big
question; but shall. try to make it
plain. A Board of Directors is elect
ed by the members. This board in
turn appoints a general manager, who
is really the head of the working insti- |
tuition. The power of management is
centralized for efficiency. The board |
is subject to recall. Now as to the In
dustries, all persons in charge of de-
partments are permitted to run their i
departments as they see fit, provided
they make them succeed and follow

DISPLAY
OF FIREWORKS TO
BE SEEN AT FAIR
Battle of the Aztecs to Be Re-
produced in ''MOntezuma''
Spectacle.

One of the biggest sources of en-
tertainment at the 1921 State Fair of
Louisiana, which will be held October
27 to November 6, inclusive, will be
a series of spectacular fireworks dis
plays, in which will be featured the
mammoth pyrotechnic spectacle.
"Montezuma."
The magnitude and splendor of this
wonderful spectacle marks it as the
superior of all attractions of this sort
To present it requires approximately
10000 square yards of scenery tons
of explosives and many thrilling eff
fects and beautiful pageantry.
In the presentation of this gigan-
tic spectacle there is reproduction
of the Battle of the Aztecs, depicting
Cortez's historic conQuests of savage
tribes of ancient Mexico, with stree-
fighting and the overthrow of the sa.
cred temples. Another great feature
OF the exhibition is the burning of
the historic capital. of the Aztecs, the
destruction Of the last vestige of this
early American civilization. And still
mighty Mt. Popocatapetl bursting into
valcanic flames and sending a sea Of
lava over the ruins of the unfortunate
city.
The fireworks display, which will
be an attraction each evening in front
of the grand stand, promises to prove
one of the greatest attractions ever
seen in Shreveport. Every historical
detail will be correctly and magnifi.

FARM LABOR UNION
ORGANIZER AT. STABLES

Lee L. Rhodes, national organizer
and lecturer for the Farm Labor Un-
ion. was in Stables this week, and lee
tured to the colonists last Thursday
night.
The wonderful growth of the new
union in Texas is comment enough on
the terrible conditions which the farm
ers and workers of the country are en-
during. Organized last summer in
Bonham, Texas, the movement has
grown so fast that the membership all
ready extends into Arkansas and Ok
lahoma, and a membership of over
100000 is now paying dues into the
organization.
The movement aims to exclude the
middleman from the field of food sup
ply, and many of the big unions have
agreed not to buy farm products which
have not been sold through the Farm
Labor Union.
Mr.. Rhodes is now in Arkansas,
where he is organizing locals in many
places in that state.

If they fail, they do not wait to be re-
moved from their positions. They are
always ready for some one to handle
the job more efficiently than they can.
People here are not ambitious for pow
er; because power achieved in any
other way than through service is but
a bubble that will soon burst. Service,
rendered gives you your true standing
in this community. There is no fore
man on this place who will not readily
yield his position to any one who can
handle it with greater success to the
community. Also those who run the
departments, are always called upon to
do more work than others. We are
short of help and the work must be
done and instead of bossing our fore
men lead their assistants. The musical
classes were well-attended this even
ing at tn school house; and must,
once again, prod you up about those
musical instruments. Don't forget,
you will want to be met at the depot

Thursday. Oct. /. : Work on the
fertilizer plant is progressing nicely.
Cemrade Coleman says that when it
is completed he will be able to turn
out four hundred tons of fertilizer ev-
cry six weeks. With the cost of fer
hllzer reduced to less than stable man
ure. you can easily guess what a great
this step will be to the far
mers of the Colony and also to our
nelghbors. The best of the whole deal
is that we don't have to complete the
whole plant to begin operation; it is
oullt and run in sections, and as soon
as one section is built, business will
begin and in SIX weeks we shall have
several tons of fertilizer ready to use.

Big Increase in Bedbugs
Makes Sleeping IN Some
Kansas Hotels Impossible
State Commissioner Clark Places Ban One Hotel and
Asks That Reserves Be Called Out Fight the Invasion
-Cockroaches Haven't Multiplied So Rapidly as in
Former Years

Bedbugs are playing havoc with
the Kansas country town hotels.
Cockroaches, tho, haven't multiplied
so rapidly as in former years. But
an unannounced invasion of bedbugs
has made sleeping in the grass town
hostelries almost impossible
When w. S. Clark, state hotel in

Osborne county, he announced that
he had temporarily closed the hotel
in that town. Ordinary defense
measures have failed in Alton and
Clark feared for safety of the travel
ing public So he put a ban on the
towns snore and food emporium and
to fight the bedbug invasion.
Alton Is Not Alone.
Alton isn't alone in her humiliation
and sorrow and waketulness. There
are lot of other towns where the
travelling statesmen use bed Stats to
drive away the invaders and apply
and bruises. Commissioner Clark has
and fried egg merchants and has CIV
en- them any number of instructions
as to betterment of sleeping rooms
without burning the linens. But it
hasn't produced results. The army of
bedroom proWlerS has increased in
number and strength.
Now a bunch of country town tav-
erns may close for the winter-or un-

community and sleeping opportunities
restored to something near normal.
