Ole drove over to neighboring town
to close deal for some Of our bricks.
The farm work is being rushed as the
weather and conditions are IDEAL for
planting; and it is needless to say ]
am being called upon to manufacture
some more farmers at once but will
simply have to wait for them to come
to US. We believe we are about to gel
our schools organized and working to
greater advantage than ever before.
Several new teachers are on the road
coming and Others will COME before
this month is over. With 1he right
person to take the lead, we can have
school here that is second TO none.
We are founded right, and are follow
ing correct principles; all we need is
the teachers to do the work and there
is no worry from that quarter. Mrs
Willhide, who has just returned to the
Colony, is an experienced kindergar-
ten teacher, especially of the Monte
ssori system, and she and Mrs. Colling-
wood, with other assistance, will soon
have the stage set for successful in
struction of cur small people. We are
expecting a surprise in the other part
Of the school, and believe it will be
an agreeable surprise for all. | truly
believe the Colony will be well adjust
ed in all departments inside of the next
two months. As we grow larger, we
must change our coats often in order
to fit. 1t is so in the Colony; we are
growing in many ways and always adj
justments will have to be made to fit
the jobs. The persons who can grow
with the growth of his industry is tru-
ly learning the lesson Of cooperation;
and those who stand still or try to re-
tard the growth and development of
his particular industry will soon be
brushed aside for some one who wants
to grow and render a greater service.
Don't tell me cooperation does not of
fer an inducement for individual bet
te-ment and growth! The greatest IN
centive to grow is the wish to render
service.

ENGINEERS EXPOSE BIG
ANNUAL LOSSES

St Louis. (By U. P.)-Startling
figures in waste in industrial processes
and recommendations for curbing the
enormous annual losses were made
public here by an engineering commis-
sion.
"Over so per cent Of the response
bility for these wastes a report said,
can be placed at the door,of the man
agement and less than Is pei. cent at
the door of labor.
The report urged the installation Of
nation-wide machinery to obtain con-
tinuous reports on employment condi-
tions; the finding of ways to regular
ize employment and suggest a plan for
cooperation between the government
and the public, the trade associations.
the industries, labor, bankers, and en-
gineers to eliminate wastes.
The report was made public by the
executive board of the Council of Fed
Grated Engineering Societies. 1t was
compiled by committee of sixteen
engineers, appointed last January, by
Herbert Hoover, president of the or
ganization
The findings were based on the in
vestigations Of the field workers in
New York, New England, and Penn.
sylvania and were declared typical of
conditions throughout the country.
The engineers found thatsthe margin
of unemployment in the country a.
mounts to more than a million men,
that billions Of dollars are tied up in
idle equipment. that high labor turn
lover is a rough index Of one Of the
commonest wastes and that the waste
of energy and money through duph-
cations in estimates and bids in the
building trades run into millions annu-
ally
Both capital and labor are blamed
for the abuses found. The report de-
clared that annual losses through con-
flicts between the two is much less
than. popularity supposed.
Between four and five million work
ers were idle the first two months Of
this year. the report said. It predict
ca that $50O.0O0.000 will be lost in
the building trades in 1921.
Waste. the report said, results
from an interruption of production, low
production. restriction of production,
lst production.
Maintenapce Of high prices on the
lpart Of owners influence the situation,
cellusion in bidding as frequently prac-
ticed IN the building trades Is a restric-
ton.
Unions were criticised for restrain-
ing output through regulations limit
i ing the number Of machines one can
attend and forbidding one class Of
workmen from enoroaching on anoth-
er's duties.

/ loss through preventable disease each
year at three billion dollars

WAR in NEAR EAST TO
I /. Be STOPPED BY ALLIES
, By Alfred J. West,
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent


London, May, 28.-When Greece
and Turkey have become thoroughly
''fed up" on war, and either one OF
both countries are on the verge OF
physical and economic exhaustion
the allies will step in and dictate the
terms of peace-regardless to the
desires of either of the combatants.
! This, in effect is the strategy the
''Big Four" have adopted to the war:
fare in the Near East, according to
Downing street officials.
Greece launched her attack against
Turkey after the London conference,
against the advice of the allies. Tur-
key invited the attack by refusing to
compromise with the Greeks on ques-
tions which would undoubtedly have
been settled in favor of the Moslems
chiefly because the Greeks were
the parties concerned.
Although the offensive of last Jan
uary and the recent one have both
proved disastrous for the Greek army.
! Athens has informed the foreign Of
flee that she is far from through and
that the Hellenic troops under the
leadership of King Constantine, Will
yet float the royal emblem over st.
Sophia's in Constantinople. |
No Importance is attached to their
boast either in London, Paris or
Rome, first. because the venture is
an impossible one for the Greek
army, and, secondly, because it is
greatly undesired by the entente, The
allies have long since decided, that
the Turks shall be allowed to remain
unmolested. Also it has been decided
that Greek domination of Smyrna
and possibly Thrace is an called I'M
possibility" Consequently, even
though the Greek army may vanquish
| the Nationalists--an extremely I'M
probable supposition-the mediating
allies will decree it's withdrawal from
Asia Minor. Nh ... i,
It has also been established that
Athens is fighting the Turco-Greek
campaign on pure air. Paper money,
unbacked by even promises of allied
loans, is paying the bills. The Greek
drachma before Venizelo's repudla-
ton, was quoted at approximately
six to the dollar. Now you can buy
nearly fifteen for an American green
back. And the end is not yet in sight.
Reports of a British loan to the
National Bank of Greece have been
repeatedly denied in London and the
admission by Controller Maximos that
negotiations were Professionally UNI
successful constitute additional
proof that the Gorunaris cabinet Is
riding towards disaster. Greece al
ready is grooming under eight years
of continuous war and more than a
score Of years maintenance Of gov
eminent by borrowed capital. b
Allied notes, already dispatched,
have intimated broadly the futility OF
continuing the warfare in the Near
East, and entente protests against
slaughter of innocents" and "disre-
gard for the rules of civilized war
fare" have been dispatched to both
Sami Bey and the Gorunaris cabinet.
