Wednesday, Nov. 9. = The weather
has changed somewhat and it look:
like rain and cooler weather; so al
noon we shut down the saw mill. Var
took Downs team and is hauling cane
Downs. is building the brick furnace
for the syrup cooker, and Hamilton is
assisting him. Nash, Strauss, Tackett,
Crawford, jacques, DeBoer have join
ed the cane strippers and cutters. Ole
and Matz are tearing away the north
platform Of the big shed to allow the
cane crushing and the syrup making
to get closer together. If the weather
stays good for two more days we shall
have the cane harvest completed; if
it rains we can then grind the cane we
have stored and run our mill work un-
der cover. We hope that old Jup will
favor us few more days-then our
harvest will be finished and our cane
stubble covered. We are rushing.
ever rushing, and never see the end
of the job, and some folks tell us there
are six millions of people unemployed
In our fair country. Is it possible, and
why is it SOP Under cooperation it
would be impossible and unnecessary.
sGooing. Waters. Rowe. and Langridge
,Sr. are on the last lap of the new
fence and should finish up in two or
three more days. Comrade Beavers
and wife are now in charge Of the
laundry and with the experience they
have had in the past our laundry
should be doing first class work of all
kinds. i our affairs here we are pc
cuIiarIy situated; when we get ready
TO start an industry we must get a per-
son to handle it that can start from the
bottom and build up; therefore we
need men who can use old hand tools
and methods and as they develop tbs
industry, institute modern machines.
The same methods are used as our cap
italists used in developing the great
manufactures. For instance, we now
want a shoemaker who can make
shoes. Everything necessary to max
ing a complete pair Of shoes he must
know. We have some modern ma
chimes for this plant and they can be
used, provided the shoemaker knows
or learns 10 run the machines; but
above all things he must know how
to start and complete the shoe. In
these days of capitalistic efficiency,
there are not many men who know the
complete process Of any one industry
They have been specialized for profit
and are now slaves TO machines which
they do not own. AS our industries
are developed our people will be edu-
Gated to the work; they will own the
machine and the job. All production
will be owned by the producers and
any surplus vii be owned in common.
The days Of the profit system are num-
besed. if we workers will only get to-
eether as we are doing. Come see us

some to take on this industry; we
have the cotton. See us grow our
food and eat it, and you will be con-
vinced that our economic problem is an
easy one to solve. 1t is like shooting
fish" to produce a living in this coun-
tryS but when it comes to producing
co-operators, people who are ready to
give THEIR ALL for the movement,
people who can set aside selfish mo-
tives and actions, people who realize
the protection and welfare of ALL is
the necessary thing-then, it is diff
ferent thing. Oh. comrades, how few
of us really are ready to cooperate!
And don't get the idea that abuse,
starvation and want will do the job: it
must come from the heart. Our love
for mankind, with intelligent action.
will do the trick, and nothing else. Are
you readyl Look into your own heart,
not your neighbor's, for the solution to
our problems. The music classes were
held as usual tonight and after that
was over, few of us went down to re-
mind Mrs. Synoground that she was

Those who say, Women are bet
ter than men" while trying to excus,
women who have a leaning to homi
eide are really slanderers of the fe.
male sex. What they really mean is
not that women are better than
men, but that they are worse; that
their sense of justice is weaker than
mans, and that, therefore, allow
ances must be made for them. as
they don't know any better. If wo-
men really arebetter than men, they
should receive sterner justice in the
courts; for if they are naturally bet
ter than men, they have less excuse
for doing wrong.
He who would let criminal off
easy because she is a woman is re-
ally dishonoring every honest and
noble woman on earth. Noble and
honest women have high standards.
and they do not desire to be placed

"a number of porcupines huddled
together for warmth on a cold day
in winter; but, as they began TO
prick one another with their quilts,
they were obliged to dispense. How
ever the cold drovt them together
again, when just the same thing
happened. At last, after many
turns of budding and dispensing,
they discovered that they would be
best off by remaining at a little dis
lance from one another.
I'm the same way the need of So
ciety drives the human porcupines
together, only to be mutually repel-
led by the many prickly and disa-
greeable qualities of their nature.
The moderate distance which they
at last discover to be the only toll
cradle condition of intercourse is the
code of politeness and fine manners.
and those who transgress / t are
told-in the English phrase
to keep their distance. BY this
the mutual need of
warmth is only moderately satisfied.

these came to Weatherbury with Bath

at nightfall in the old malthouse to

flock of sheep. These were but the
inevitable tragedies of life and yet the
one had suddenly made Bathsheba an
heiress; the other had driven Gabriel
out upon the highways TO seek work
Chance or fate had kindled fire, Ga
briel had saved the wheat, and the
two lives that had been flung so far
apart were brought near again.
The pain of seeing another win her
whom he loved would be intense but
Gabriel preferred even this life where
be could not see her. He knew that
this must happen. Bathsheba was
young, beautiful. wealthy, but rarer

was the stuff of which great mems
mothers are made. She was indispens-
