that opened up an old wound. A com

Of starting a home for little Children,
little tots who were not wanted or with
parents unable to care for them.
Great that's my old hobby; | often
think it is what made me a co-ope-a-
tog (such as | am able to be). Who
is there in the world that does not re-
alize that the world is unjust to mn-

on their world journey in poverty? I'm

visitors are Just as sweet and precious
as her own offspring, and what real
man Or woman is not ready to make a
real effort towards overcoming this
great world crime against innocsnt
children. Well | know you are with
me on this thing, but how far are you
with me? We have the land and the
proper environment in which to raise
them; what have you? 1t will take
cash to build the home, and then
are willing to accept the responsibility
Of caring for the children until they
are old enough to enter our kinder
garten and schools. Two big ideas
before us-a children's home and
home for our aged comrades also
can be built and maintained here,
What part are you willing to play.
Our colony is now financially safe
and sound; are you willing to assist
IN materializing these two big ideas
If so, to what extent2 1t will mean
hard work and a willingness to serve
to the limit, that can make these
things a success.

Saturday. July 2-The farmers are
hitting the ball as never before. Two
more days and the planting will be
done until the fall planting time comes.

and now we are happy. Corn, cane,

wanted vacation and broke down
and while waiting for repairs the build
ers will wreck some old sheds and pre-
pare to start the roof garden at once.
Pete Kaas has taken cement job at
Leesville. No, he hasn't quit the Col
ony; he is doing the job to sccommo-
date a friend of the Colony's and the
money he receives he will turn into the
Colony treasury. This is the spirit that
will mean real success for cooperation
and Pete has demonstrated it before,
too. The children had their picnic as
usual to-day. but, owing to business.
this kid was compelled to miss the
fun. In the afternoon a mothers meet
ing was held, and a very important
subject was brought up and discussed
All mothers of kindergarten children
should attend these Saturday evening
meetings.
The dancing school and dance were
well-attended, and many outside visit

dances agree they are will conducted

Sunday, July 3-This is the day of
rest for some people, and they justly
earn it, but there is no rest for the
wicked. and some Of us. | guess, were
born wicked-at least we must keep
busy, anyhow. But who cares so long
as we are busy, serving our comrades
in useful things. To me Sunday would
be nightmare if it were not for the
usefulness of the calls made upon me.
Our people are considerate, and only
ask Sunday favors whe necessary. A
volunteer bunch is at work with Com
rade Darth, making the tennis court,
and another few at the berry patch.

CHANGE
IN STRIKE HERE
Plants Refuse to Take Back
Building Trades Men Un-
less They Accept Cut.

According to information received
today from the Building Trades AS
sociation, the strike in this city OF
the building trades shows but little
change over yesterday Several
more of the plants are understood
to have laid off building trades men
employed by them, and will not take
them back until they are ready to
accept the reduction in wages de-
manded by the Building Trades AS
sociation.
A conference of the mason union
and the master masons held yes
terday in the Building Trades Asso-
citation rooms at which time general
conditions were discussed but no ac-
ton taken. The proposition was
made, however, that an arbitration
board be appointed to consider the
facts in the case and that the ma
sons and builders agree to the find
ings of such board.
In the discussion that followed,
this suggestion, the master
builders desired that the board
consist of two union men, two
master builders and one disinterest-
ed party. This the mason represen-
tatives refused to consider and de-
manded that two of the members of
the board be masons, two master
builders and the odd one chosen by
the other four members.

siderable headway before an alarm
was sent in from Box II, Madison

after the arrival of the firemen an
other call was sounded for the Nc

ly afterwards the Garfield Engine
Company was summoned as well.
After working for three-quarters of
an hour the flames had been placed
under control.

blaze appeared to have started in
the rear of the long storage shed in
which were piled many bales of pa

two frame garages.
The burning felt, tar paper and
