Wednesday, April 6.-Another week
with new hopes, and lots of energy dis
played. Several visitors to start out
with. drove to the country with Mr..
and Mrs. Rooney and Comrade Lamb.
The roads were a little muddy and it
sprinkled rain,. but we went thru our
land from one end to the other, and
Comrade Lamb picked out l20 acres
of land that he intends to purchase.
Comrade Lamb is lover of natural
life, and when he saw the Anacoco
Creek, he fell for water, timber, land,
and the entire Colony, and will stay
with us. Bergman and P. Caron made
a steam box for curing oak, hickory,
and other hard wood for manufacture
ing purposes. The stump pulling crew
is on the job as usual, and have now
finished the job next to the timber
belt across the ditch that Comrade
Tackett dug this spring. The brick
burners are still water smoking the
brick in the kiln and expect to begin
real burning about Monday. The
Fordson was put back together today
by Satnan, Lindsey. and the Leesville
expert, Mr.. Lawrence. Van Nuland
is still cultivating the twenty acres of
spuds at the Ford ranch. The larger
school pupils are out of school this
week to allow the stenographers to get
out about 5000 letters and literature.
Did you get yours? If not, write in
for we want you to hear from us.
The children are helping Comrades
Thurman and Buck in the garden.
They are setting out tomato plants by
the hundreds and are preparing the
ground for peas, beans, sugar corn,
and melons. They also planted Gu
cumbers, okra, and transplanted beets.

KING COTTON AND
MUTTON AT PLAYHOUSl

Some fine reels of an educational.
nature were shown at the Dixie Pride
Playhouse last Monday night. Prof.
Frederick Herman, D. M. had charge
of the instrumental music, and con-
tributed very materially to the enjoy
ment of the evening.
The pictures showed in a very real
istic manner how cotton is grown, ev-
cry step of the way from the prepara-
ton of the seeded, the gradual
growth of the plant to its maturity.
when it is picked by miscellaneous
crowd of darkies, from a little picka-
iiny up to his white haired grandsire,
and then delivered to the storehouse.
The sheep industry, as managed on
a grand scale in the western noun
tain region, was especially well shown.
The sheep seemed to be actually pre-
sent there before your eyes, and one al
most heard the tinkling of the bells on
the leaders. The feeding pens, The
drive to market, and the loading on
railway trains, all appeared to be gong
on within few rods of us. One is en-
abled to gain a better insight into the
nature of industries that are carried On
elsewhere and to think more correctlv
on general affairs.

A IMPLICATED NATIVIATION

On the 10th of April, 1879, Com
rade George Thomas. Sr. was born un-
der the sign of Aries. And, as he
turned out so well, his wife decided
that was pretty good sign to be born
under. So in due course of time, she
presented him with George, Jr. and
Oracle, the baby of the family, the
two latter born on the Fifth and sew
enth of April, respectively, a number
OF years apart.
This happy concatenation of natal
days was made the occasion of a very
jovial birthday party at the Thomas
residence, No. Us, Main Street, New
llano. last Sunday night. Vocal and
instrumental music, interspersed with
humorous conversation and repartee,
entertained the guests until nearly mid
night. A toothsome repast of ice
cream, sandwiches, cake, and fruit was
served, to which all present did ample
justice. Miss Trixie Ewell presided
and entertained at the piano, while Mr..
Thomas, and the Misses Myrtle Kemp,
Rosa Matt, Katherine EwelF, Stella
Thomas and Loretta Thomas rendered
several songs. Also Mrs. Cantrell de-
lighted the guests with three selections.
She has very sweet voice. Mr.. Matz
also played some tunes. Mr.. Carl
Gleeser broke into the game and was
voted some kind of an Irishman, all
right. 1t was a very jovial entertain
ment and everyone present enjoyed it
hugely.
The Democrat joins in wishing the
Thomas family many happy returns.

THE HEALING OF THE NATION

Health is a condition of the human
mind and physique when all the life
processes are vibrating in harmonious
unity. When the integrating and up
building function is operating perfect
ly, and elimination is carried on prop
erly.
The influence of music as an aid to
this end has been known for ages, and
harmonious movements of the limbs
and other members of the body in cor
responding vibrations to the music are
wOnder-workers in correcting many
ills.
That is the reason why our Saturday
night dances at the Newllano hotel
have such an exhiIerating effect upon
all who take part in them and enjoy
them. 1t was a happy and carefree
lot of people that tripped the light fan
tastic at the last dance.
Announcement was made of the
May festival three weeks hence. and a
large attendance may be expected.

BRICK KILN UNDER HEAVY FIRE

Eighty thousand bricks are undergo
ing the process of being burned in the
second kiln of brick which the colon
lists have built, and the slow fires have
been under way several days. The
water smoke has disappearepd and
now the intense fire in under the kiln
and will be kept up for several days
and nights.
Eight-hour shifts have been run on
this job. the time being allotted to Pet
er Kaas on the 4 am. to II shift;
Louis Quero, II noon to 8 pm, and
Fred Waters. the graveyard shift.

ony. A large company of the colon
lists were in attendance and greatly en-
joyed the entertainment. Music on
the piano, songs by Mrs. Cantrell, and
Miss Myrtle Kemp. witty anecdotes
and narratives lent zest and ginger to
the occasion. With lunch of cake,
cookies, sandwiches, coffee, and cocoa,
the interior department of everyone
present was given due consideration.
On departing at the hour of midnight
all gave expressions of qualification
for the royal good time provided by
Mr.. and Mrs. Synoground.

The publicity agents of the railroads
little over a year ago, denounced
the government control of the rail-
roads during the war as awful extrav-
igant and wastefuI. Yet. during ten
months in 1920, these same railroad
executives had operating expenses of
$5,8I0,970,02I.00, while in 1919 the
operating expenses under government
management amounted to only $4,4l9-
988, 5000. These wise guys have
no additional equipment or improve
ment in construction or maintenance
to show for this greater expenditure.

LLANO COLONY ASKED
FOR DELEGATE TO HOLLAND

In communication from the Inter-
national Federation of Communal Set
Elements, tbs Llano Colony is asked to
send a delegate to the convention
which will be held by these coIonists
in June this year, at Bilthoven, Hol-
land.
While it is scarcely probable that
this Colony can send delegate to the
conference, it would undoubtedly add
much to the sum total of knowledge of
these institutions if such were enabled
to study each others problems and
successes.
Among subjects for discussion will
be: Interchange of settlers; Inter-
change of experiences through inter-
national paper (probabIy using inter-
national language, Esperanto.)

is making lots of work for the kiddoos
and garden crew. Two new families
are reported at the hog ranch. and the
dairy crew has its hands full. Earl
Rowe is the kitchen "Biddie," but says
he prefers to tend the swine and cat
tie to washing dishes and trying to
keep the wrinkles out of the gastrom-
ical regions of Baldy and Braughton.
Comrade MelIel has been hauling the
timbers from the flat just east of the
industrial plants; it makes a great
change in appearance of things and

Friday, April 8-Tackett and Shut
are building fence between the horse
pasture and the cane patch: this fence
skirts along the west side of the creek
that runs east of the horse barn and
runs under the Magnolia Bridge. The
stump crew had to give up their job
on account of too much mud; so they
made a road and small bridges running
to the laundry and print shop from the
main road. Belohradsky is once more
working at the broom factory and
Comrades Buck and Thurman are
working in the sweet potato dryer. Van
Nuland is blowing at Dago Town and
Kemp is narrowing north of the cane
patch. Comrade Burmeister, wife and
little boy just arrived from California.
Comrade Ferree of Ohio has taken
charge of the mule and horse barn
and will live in the house north of the
big garden. Comrade Ferree is fill
ing a very important job and will re-

that he has been patiently putting in.

The art OF art, the glory OF express
slone and the sunshine OF the light of
letters, is simplicity. Nothing is bet
ter than implicity-nothing can make
up for excess, or for the lack of def
initeness. To carry on the heave of
impulse and pierce intellectual depths,
and give all subjects their articula-
tons, are powers neither common nor
very uncommon. But to speak in lit
erature with the perfect rectitude and
insouciance Of the movements Of ami
mails, and the unimpeachablenes of
the sentiment OF trees in the woods
and grass by the roadside, is the flaw
less triumph of art. II you have

In hop vines and live Bacchus was
the feature of the marching fete. But
such a procession did once wend its
way through New York streets, in eel
ebration of the adoption of the fed
eral constitution. One historian SAYS
In part:
"The display of the brewers was
happily conceived and appropriate. In
addition to their banners futtering
gayly in the air, they paraded cars
with hogsheads and tuns, decorated
with festoons of hop vines intertwined
with handfuls of barley Seated on

WORLD ALMOST LOST GENIUS
Handel, immortal Composer, Had Re-
marksbIe Escape From Death in
Duel in Early Life.


The great composer Handel was
born at Halle, February "a, 1884, and
at the outset of his professional life,
which was about his twentieth year,
be was nearly lost to the world by
quarrel with one Matthewson, an
able musician, who violently ASSAULT
ed him. A duel ensued, and nothing
but a score buttoned under Handels
coat and on which his antagonists
weapon broke, saved his life, which
was destined to prove of inestimable
value to the whole world.
In performing on the organ his o
command Of the instrument was
amazing, as was the fullness Of his
harmony and the grandeur and dig
nifty of his style. Handel wore an
enormous white wig, and when things
went well at the oratorios it had a
certain nod or vibration which de-
noted his satisfaction and pleasure.
Without this signal it was certain
that he was out of humor
he never married and died pos
sessed of 100000, of which he be-
queathed one-half TO the fund for de- |
cayed musicians, while the remainder /
went to his relatives.-Chicago Jour-

BELLOWS BELONG TO PAST
Modern Appliances Have Replaced the
one-TIme Indispensable Adjunct
of Blacksmith Shop.

The bellows, in the form In which
once II was familiar in every house
hold, is still used in homes where
open fires. are maintained, but the
giant bellows that In old times was
as necessary an adjunct OF the black
smiths shop as the forge itself is
steadily being supplanted by blowers
Of other sorts.
In long established New York city
blacksmith shop located on the down.
town waterfront, where once, across
the way the wharves were lined with
tall-sparred sailing ships, there was
In those days one OF those big, old
time bellows. When the blacksmith
wanted to blow the fire he rested one
hand and forearm on the end Of the
long lever and swayed and swayed
on 1t gently.
Now from the wharves across the
way the sailing ships have disap-
peared and from this old waterfront
blacksmith's shop the old-time bellows
has disappeared too. The anvil is still
there, TO be sure, and people halt now
and then just as they have ALWAYS
done to look In and see the sparks |
fly when the blacksmith and his help
er strike on the red-hot iron; but now
when the blacksmith wants to blow
the fire he doesn't put his arm on a
big bellows lever and sway and sway;
now he simply reaches up and moves
a little switch. That starts steady
blast, which can be regulated to any
force that may be required.
