went swimming at the pool after the
league meeting and in the evening a
large class attended the dancing class.
lhe usual Saturday night dance was
held and many visitors were present
from the neighboring farms and towns.
Sunday, March 8.....This is Easter
Sunday and Mother Crawford, Mrs.
Robertson and Mrs. Geo. Thomas
started us off right with bacon and
eggs for breakfast Comrade Cuno
had all the kiddies down to his place
in the forenoon. They found hen eggs
and candy eggs all around his place. In
the afternoon another egg hunt was
held at the swimming pool, in which
the classes of children took part under
leaders. Comrade Burton was captain
! for the older children; Mr.. Dougherty
for the medium sized ones and Myrtle
Kemp lead the kindergarten bunch. Af-
ter all the eggs were found a water
picnic was held in the pool. Eggs were
thrown into the water and the divers
were allowed to hunt for nests on the
bottom of the pool. Roede, Myrtle,
Oramil Will and | celebrated the morn
ing by wedding the egg-plants in the
hot bed, and Roede hasn't done any
thing else since. Some of the colonists
went fishing and picnic excursions, and
some went to the strawberry patch and
cleaned out most of the weeds. The
mental science class held a very inter-
esting meeting this evening and ran
over the usual time, as there was
no program at the theatre. These class
es are doing great work in helping us
to adjust ourselves to cooperation.
The whole world has to go through
this readjustment and it makes me
shudder to think of what it all means;
the lack of interest by the majority of |
all the people to the lesson they must |
learn and just how it will all come
to pass-either by cooperative educa-
tion or much harsher methods. Oramil
Will is among us again and he is right |
at home, too. Why not? Oramil has
always been co-oPerator and this is
the home he likes to claim. We are
just hoping for the time when he will
bring the rest Of the family with him.

Monday, March 28.-It rained last
night and is rather chilly this morn
ing. The clearing and stump-pulling
crews are at work as usual and Kemp
and Van are plowing. Merrill is haul
ing wood and MiIIard and Donaldson
are hauling logs with the tractor. The
garden crew is helping sort sweet po-
tatoes and Dad Deininger is helping the
brick crew build up the clamp at the
brick kiln. Comrdaes Kaas and Quero
are almost through with this work and !,
then firing will begin. Scharrer and
Tackett are almost through building
fence along the south side of our big
field where most of the farming was
done last year. Geo Matz practically
finished his fencing at the dairy. Re-
pairs are being made on the brick
for another extended run to
start at once. Comrade |. Caron is
now located on 90 acres he bought
from the Colony about 10 miles south
west of Newllano, near the Davis
,choolhouse. His two boys, Claude
and Lafayette are staying at the col
ony until dad gets the house built.
Good luck, lsadore, we are pleased to
2all you one of our comrades yet. The
Esperanto classes were held as usual
md Uncle Jake made talk on oppor-
unism afterwards. A third class
n Esperanto for beginners will be
started by Comrade Austin.
