Monday. March l4-WeIl. nowl
Some fine day! All smiles and sun
shine just stroIled over to where
the fellows were pulling hees and
stumps, and | want to tell you that
crew of four men. Gallo, DeBoer.
Brostrom, and Robertson. are doing
grand job. They run their cable line
out about Us to 200 feet and then
hook chains around six or eight trees
at time and begin to pull in the line
by mule power on the stump puller-
out come Messrs. Tree, and then they
tie out some more trees closer in un-
til they pull everything in the path of
the cable, clear up to the pulling ma
chine. Comrade MiIlard has made ov-
er one of the log wagons to hook be-
hind the tractor and is now hauling
logs to the sawmill by tractor power.
Satnan is still working on the bread
wagon. Comrades Bergman and P.
Caron are doing some cabinet work al
the planning mill; they were so busy !
F.. didn't dare ask them what it was. The
brick machine is on the job in fine
shape to-day, and is making better
record each day. Synogrounl. Roede.
E4eym. Heuer, Kaas, and Rechsteiner
are the regular force and during the
meal times some of the rest of us take
on the job and keep the mud-eater
going right along. We ran straight
through with several volunteer workers
until dark. That is the spirit that will
make cooperation a success in a short
time. If all workers worked to the
workers interest just think what this
old world would be in short time!
Yes, heaven on earth would be ours.
Can you see the point? Comrade |.
Caron is cooking some Of the syrup
to-day. Comrade Quero build his fur
mace. You see we have two new brick
layers, Quero and Kaas-keep your
eyes open for new brick homes this
year. DeVine and Quero have been
pulling up the ties on the old tramway
with which to burn the next kiln of
brick. Ii IS a good iob-wll save la
Dor and expense. We are now PLAN
ning 10 start campaign among our
old members to help us to handle this
big tract of land. We have kept your
investment good; now. when you get
your letter, read it and then do what
you can. The Esperanto classes met
| last might as usual and had good at
tendance; several neighbors are talk
ling Of taking up the study with the
Colony classes. Uncle Jake gave a
very interesting talk after the Esperan-
to classes were over.

The brick crew is still twisting mud
into brick and will soon be pushing
the sides out of the building in order
to get room for them. If Doc Viii
liams were here he would work his
head off with the enthusiasm that is
engendered through this new indus
try. Hurry back, Doc. we have a
mans job here for you. Stump pull
ing is going right ahead with progress
every day. and we have a beautiful
field just west of the K. c. S. railroad.
Mrs. CantrelI has quit being devil at
the print shop and is now installed in
an office at the main office building.
Myrtle Kemp is now working up an
/ address list Of all old coIonists and our
new friends. If you don't get letter
from us, just get msulted enough to
tell us about it, and we will send you
one if you send your address. Don't
fail. A year ago we had to beg tra-
yelling men to come and visit us. now
they really fight each other for our
trade. Nothing succeeds like success
and cooperation is succeeding and
competition is trying to commit suicide.
Comrade England has just about COM
Ipleted his studio, and we will soon
Ihave pictures to sell you; as Colony
views will be taken and put on postal
cards. Well, we had two substantial
land lifts this week-C Comrade ]. H.
