Monday, June 27-Don't be surpris-
ed if your letters are not answered at
once; also if there are mistakes made
in some Of our business affairs. This
office is overrun with work and my
help is short, but if you will be pa
hent. | will get to your affairs some-
time. Oh, for good angel q don't
care if she be blonde or brunette) to
come along to relieve the situation!
Really, would consider he" angel,
Lprovided there is such a bird Com
rade Winter signed contract and be-
gan work organizing our commercial
department. and soon all of our busi-
ness viii flow through one head. AS
we grow stronger our form Of coop
Grafton changes to fit the occasion
and our new commercial organization
is a big step forward. Lindsey and
Darth are running the tractor No. 2
from dawn to darkness in order to get
the land in shape to plant while the
rain is bottled up. Rowe, Langridge.
Baldwin and Lindsey have vaccinated
all our hogs and pigs and the stock in
general is in good condition and the
rush at the dairy should be less from
now on. The saw mill is getting out
materials for building more house
room at the dairy. The garden crew
| is taking advantage Of the dry spell
to get their work caught up, while
Mrs. Robertson and the kiddiees are
/ as busy as bees, picking and picking
cucumbers, many sacks of them are to
be picked every day from now on, and
with the regular vegetables to be hand
: led each day, there is no loafing to be
thought of at the garden department.
Joe Nalek is our new nightwatch, but
he has not yet developed into real
sleuth, for he has not found the young
lady's bathing suit he is supposed to
be responsible for. | think he is fig
uring on getting blood hounds to work
for him. The cane is all free from
weeds and the "men with the hoe"
will now go back to the sweet potatoes.
We are now having whole wheat bread
on our tables every day and we hope
some day to establish an entirely sane
system of feeding, in which we will all
learn to eat the best of foods, and not
let our sence of taste and beauty
lead us astray. Most of our chillren
now call for the real foods and they
are bound to show the benefits to be
derived from it. Our children will COM
pare in health and strength with any
community in the country. The Es-
peranto classes met as usual at the
:chool house and later an impromptu
orchestra practice was the cause of an
impromptu dance at the hotel and,
later, was kept awake until 2;30
with premeditated colony diary to
write, and now | feel like the fellow
did the morning after the night be-
fore" It's great life here (if you
don't weaken)-Cuno. Yes, some of
us do weaken. but we are not to blame
and some day they will come back.
Their hearts are right, but other things
have a strong call upon them and they
go for a time, but no one can live
here a year anil then stay away with
any satisfaction in life. Is it not so,
''old timers'2 Say, why don't you get
busy and get us some subscribers for
the two papers? We sell both fot
$500 a year. We can now get out
good weekly and monthly papers, and
your friends will be interested in them.
Get your friends to read them if they
are thoughtful men and women. We
have the most forward and interesting
community in the country and thous-
anls of people wish to know of it. Are
you doing your part to build CO.
operative commonwealth? Do you
think it will come without an effort?
Besides we are now members of the
Federated Press and want our papers
to build up seconl to none. If you do
your part we will continue to do ours.
Send us at least one new subscriber
this week.
