Being Daily Report Of Colony Life at Llano.

Wednesday. Nov. l6.-Bu3y? Well,
| say we are. and rushing it, too. Ey~
cry extra man we have is cutting sor-
ghum and beans for the silo. Lam
gridge Sr. and Langidge Jf., Rowe,
Gooing. Scharrer, Tackett, and Van
are running the ensilage cutter and
filling another silo. The grinding Of
cane has begun and we made our first
new syrup for this year. Kemp, Roede
and Thurman are the new cooks; Ja-
ques and Nash are feeding the crush
er; and Matz is the fire chief. This
year we are taking no chances. We
are testing the syrup as it is made with
a hydromete-. All the wagons and
teams are hauling sorghum and beans
to the silo, except Shut and Coleman,
who are hauling fertilizer material for
the new plant and w. Beavers who is
hauling brick and other material to
Downs with Hamilton to assist, in the
building of the new unit to our fertil-
izef plant. Comrade Rix and Won
Scio are busy at repairing wagons and
tools for the farm work, and it just
seems as if our work is always rush.
And we are glad it is. IF a person is
not busy, what would he do with him
self? Especially when he knows ey-
erything he does is to better his own
condition, and that everything he pro-
duces is used for our own benefit. IF
anyone comes here just to get shorter
hours of labor. he had better stay
anywhere he can get unemploy-
ment-because our object is get a
better life condition for all and we
cannot measure our day in hours; we
must measure our day by our accom-
'blishments of that day. Yet we hope,
later, when we have more machines !.
and cleared land, and greater numbers
of people, TO be able to shorten our
hours and tighten our burdens; but
that is not our main object-it would
only be an incident, a result. We do
not measure you by what you do, bur
by the spirit you show in the Colony
affairs in general Cash and work, wiil
never solve the problem. 1t is the spir-
it of the people attached to their cash
and labor that is the real answee i
you come. come to help do the big
Job What do you and | amount to
in this great world of competition and
stmfe, if we just drift along and take
what our masters give2 We can ac-
complish much if we take hold Of
things and try TO- construct better
life condition. that the world may sse
a way out of its misery, and mankind
may be freed from economic slavery.
Is It worth while? Yes, the doing Of
the lob makes the sacrifice a privilege;
makes the pioneering a luxury, and the
work a real education. | would moi

your silly pleasures. This IS life-real

man nature has been mis~epresentcd

you want to, and the Colony is the
place to learn them. These are the
things worth while and you are losing

Thursday, Nov. l.. = The question
is asked, what do you do with those
who do not take the proPar interest in
the Colony and their work2" Well,
there are two courses Of action and we
use the one best fitted to the person.
IF a person makes of himself a pest
OF becomes vicious and refuses to do
the right thing and shows no inclina-
ton to change or demonstrate wish
to change, there is nothing to do but
cancel his contract and let him go to
some other place where he can fit in
better. This is only done in extreme
cases and after all the toleration we
know how to extend is expended. You
see we have so much work TO do that
we hardly have time to pet or baby
anyone along. Not now-maybe lat.
er we can, if it is necessary. Well,
thank goodness, we have had but few
of this type come, and they are all
gone now. If, however, the person
shows himself to be sincere, honest,
and has an inclination to try to become
a co-operator- well, we do every
thing we can to assist him to see the
Colony in the true light, to be happy
and TO understand the great principle
we are trying to defend and prove to
be right, to all the world. To prevent
these unfortunate occurrences is the
reason why we have people make ap-
plication for membership. Very few
people are really ready for co-opera-
ton, and we have learned through ex-
that MAKING co-operators is
an expensive game. Only those who
can abolish suspicion, greed. and jeal-
busy from their hearts really make CO
operators of the pure type. Self-con-
troll, comrades. is a great lesson to be
learned and practiced. What a great

the blood and il. has been used ef-
fectively for this purpose at Ger
man and Austrian spas for ten
years. We have been administer
ing it for arteliosclerosis, as well
as various other diseases, since
1914, but we have found that the
low dosage mentioned by Dr.. Bail
ey is not aspeffectivc as injection
into the veins. Exhaustive tests
have shown it's power is deTelooed
by the latter method upon a much
greater scale.
"But even in its tiniest forms ra-
dunn is serviceable in lengthenlno'

warriors there for treatment. The
curative results of the springs for
rheumatism and diseases of Old

springs in Arkansas and Colorado
and most of the European spas. If
radiun is administered in sugar
coated pellets through the mouth,
instead of injected into the veins,
better results can be obtained bv
concentrating the dosage.
"A series of tests to both ami
mails and human beings has devel-
oped that the therapeutic effects
of radium, administered intraven-
ously can be traced for a period
Of twelve weeks. 1t is probably
possible to trace the effects Of
radium pills for three or four days.
For a case of rheumatism a low
dosage may be good, but when Il
patient is brought in on stretcher
he needs an enormous amount Of
radio active energy.
"Radium, of course, is not q

develops alpha, beta and gamma

IngrOwn Toe Nail
Turns Out ITSELF

A noted authority says that a
few drops of "Outgro" upon the
skin surrounding the ingrowing
nail reduces inflammation and
pain and so toughens the tender,
sensitive skin underneath the toe
nail, that it cannot penetrate the
flesh, AID the nail turns naturally
outward almost over night.

VOTERS TO Be SHOWN
WHAT SEPTIC TANK IS
LIKE, COUNCIL ORDERS
Interpretative Picture of
Proposed Improvement Will
be Prepared by Engineers.

Pendleton voters will get an oppor-
tunity shortly to see what the propos-
ed septic tank will look ike. Mayor
George Hartman was last night au-
thorized by the city council to pur-
chase photos and drawing of the site
and have the engineers draw in an in
interpretative picture of what 1t would
resemble if the voters approve of the
$125, 600 bond issue for this purpose
at the election November 2tst.
Mayor Hartman read the council a
letter from Engineer Cunningham of
Portland in which the latter expressed
his belief that among the most i'm
portant propositions being considered
was the new entry to the city from the
east, which would eliminate the cross
ing of any railroad tracks. This
would open up an avenue down past
the Washington school on Lewis street
and would allow traffic to be open in
case the railroad crossing on east
Court street were blockaded At the
present time there is but one entrance
to the city from the east and the pro-
posed entry would guarantee an open
highway into the city in any event.
The city recorder was instructed TO
advertise for bids for the repair of the
Matlock street bridge sewer. The sew
