this morning, and bet it was the

And a great reunion will be held there,
too, for the hearts of the Will children
are in cooperative action here. Some
of our people went to the woods on
picnice, many of them to the pool to
play in the water, and some of us were
at board meeting at the office.
Other business and pleasure activities
were indulged in. In the evening the
mental science class was well-attended
and a lengthy session held, as there
was no program for the usual evening
entertainment. We will have more

Monday, May 23-An extremely
busy day for yours truly. We some
times have people who come to the
Colony and in few weeks know more
about the Colony than all of US here
put together; SO often | have to shut
down on constructive work in order TO
show that we are doing the best we
can under circumstances, and also are
working on the right principle to make
our present successes more pronounced
and greater. Such was the case to-
day, and such hallucinations in one
mans mind proved to be good joke
and our ship is sailing along as usual
, and our band of faithful workers is
cemented together closer than ever be-
fore. Some day the time will come
when greed, jealousy, and suspicion
will not control us humans; and when
that time comes, Brotherhood vii
, reign supreme on this old earth anc
heaven will be ours. We are all sub.
iect to mistakes and errors, and oul
big job here is to assist each otheI
through these readjustments from com
petition to cooperation; and when the
real MAN finds he has made mis-
take, he is willing to admit the mis-
take and go on as constructor, while
the weakling, through his conceit, vii
fall by the wayside. If you join this
Colony, don't try to build yourself uE
by tearing others down. 1t can't be
done; but rendering service will al
last put you in your proper place ii
this community. Satnan and Lind
sey are still working the tractor ex.
ira hours and are getting much work
done. The farm work is being pushec
as fast as men, mules, and tools can
do it. Our supply of cement ran out
and operations on the dipping vat are
suspended for few days; but there
is lots of other work and the fellows
! here know, how to find and do it, too
Land clearing is going on as usual and
the stump crew are dragging the big
stumps off the field by power. We
j will soon have another field ready for
the planters. Lindsey has succeeded
in blowing Cat night) the cleared
land on the north end of the garden

for the seeding. Bergman and crew
/ are making the saw mill do its full
duty these days, and as soon as Ole re-
turns the roof will be put over ths
brick kiln. The Esperanto classe;
met tonight, but closed, early in ordel
to attend to the Colony meeting helc
