A GRAND PROGRAM
AT DIXIE PRIDE PLAYHOUSE

Mrs. Joseph Winter, the new man
ager of the Dixie Pride Playhouse at
Newllano, did herself proud in the
wonderful program that she provided
for the entertainment of the colonists
and their friends on very brief notice
last Sunday night. Miss Trixie Ewell
gave two very fine Painoforte selec-
tions. The Misses Anna and Doris
Willhide rendered vocal duet in per
feet time and tune, which delighted the
audience. Mr.. Joseph Winter sang
"Thora," and ''Your Eyes Have Told
Me So" and as he is trained vocal
ist of superior merit. theyfwere highly
appreciated. Mrs. Collingwood sang
"A Perfect Day" in keeping with the
title and pleased the audience great
ly. Two piano and cornet duets by
Miss Lois Will and Mr.. H. o. Atkins
were excellent performances. Mrs.
Winter enriched the entertainment with
a vocal solo, Looking Back" in fine
voice and perfect execution. Miss Lo-
retta Thomas is a sweet singer from
Pennsylvania and gave as a solo DO
you remember the Time?" Mr.. H. C..
Bell gave a humorous recitation which
tickled' the fancy of many. Mr.. Viii
liams and son played a number of
Southern tunes on the violin and gui-
tar, which struck responsive cords in
the audience and elected much ap-
plause.
1t was indeed splendid program
all around, and the colonists and their
neighbors are to be congratulated to
the fact that every Sunday evening
they are to enjoy a similar feast of
reason and flow of soul.

THE PROMISED LAND

For ages the human race has been
looking for a promised land, a land
where the shortcomings and vexations
and limitations of the old abode would
no longer hamper or obstruct the long
ngs and aspirations of the people for
better deal.
The Jews thousands of years ago,
were led by Moses from slavery in
Egypt towards Palestine as a promised
land, but in the long run things did
not pan out as people expected and
wished.
If ever there was a country that
might have turned out to be the genu-
inc promised land for the human race
it was our own America. And for
awhile it was such in truth and deed,
but in the course of three hundred
years it has become as great disap-
pointment as all other lands of promise
of all other refugees from exploitation
and tyranny.
Not the the soil, configuration, re-
sources, and climate have been amiss;
on the contrary they would in every in
stance have proven quite adequate to
serve as lands of liberty, plenty, and
prosperity. Not the land has ever been
at fault; it always rested with the peo-
pie themselves.
The people forgot to throw their old
prejudices, erroneous notions, and OBJ
structive traits of character in the dis
card. They took them along to the
new land and re-established the same
bad conditions from which they tried
to escape. 1t is within themselves that
they must begin, clean house, have a
mental house-cleaning, if they want to
make success of gaining the promis-
ed land-the cooperative common
wealth.
The Cooperative Commonwealth is
within us, that is, we possess the abil-
ity to establish it. provided we set
about it in the right way. And the
right way is by beginning to think
straight. Aladdin's lamp, that you
read about in arabian Nights, is
your own mind. Its mission is to act
as guide to your doings. And to be
reliable guide, you must learn to use
it properly.
When once you begin to do that,
you will have no time to expend upon
gossip. Your mind will be so busy
with things worth while, that you will
have none to waste on pessimistic
croakings of i'll fortune. Get busy mem
tally, is the slogan from the psycholo-
gical meeting held at the Newllano ho-
tel on Thursday night, June 80.

to harmful personal practices AMI anti
social economic conduct.
When the source of evil is found
within the race and knowledge Of how
to eradicate it is also discovered, man
kind is bound to enter upon the high
way of liberation, of salvation from all
ills. Its susceptibility TO improvement
certifies to that assurance.
Progress has been made necessary
condition Of happiness; and no one
can be happy, or even long satisfied.
who does not think he is advancing in
something.
This progress must at first begin in
the mind. The individual must think
scientifically and picture in his mind
what he wishes to actualize objective
ly. Gaining the right mental attitude
must be striven for by every one who
wills to be free. This was the con-
tent of the lesson at the mental sci
ence class on July Bird at NewIlano.

BRINGS SALVATION

All the ills that beset mankind are
self-inflicted. Wrong individual living
results in personal sickness and unhap-
piness and is due to erroneous beliefs,
Wrong social conduct, ethical, po-
litical, or economic, springs from
wrong beliefs respecting the relation of
the individual to his fellow men; and
these wrong beliefs are responsible for
all the difficulties. troubles, disturb
ances, quarrels, and wars, internecine,
and foreign, that plague and disgrace
the world.
When the reason for this deplorable
condition is inquired into, it is found to
have its origin and cause in lack of
knowledge and erroneous beliefs. And
hence, the only way to improve the
condition is by gaining the requisite
knowledge and training oneself to act
according to right principles.
Everyone has this option of choice,
OF determining the course of action he
will make an effort to pursue. This
new course of conduct may go counter
to mgrained inclinations and habits,
but by persistence in weIl-doing, new
habits, a new character, may be devel-
oped.
The whole universe, including life, is
a school for the education of the mind
and the discipline of the spirit.
Discomfort with unworthy conditions
is prophecy of a growing ability 10
improve, change, and transform them
in keeping with the higher aspirations
of people.
Wrong ideas have perverted and de-
praved the normal propensities and fa-
culties of the race, and these prompt

LOUISIANA COTTON HAS
DECREASED 100000 ACRES

Acreage of cotton in Louisiana has
decreased more than half a million
acres, the result of the appeal for a
reduction in acreage, according to an
nouncement by Lionel L. James, agri-
cultural statistician of the Bureau of
Crop Estimates of the Department of
Agriculture, Friday night.
The condition of the crop, says the
report, was 81 percent of normal on
June Is. This was in spite of the fact
that the crop is two to four weeks late

ace in many districts. These figures
may be compared to 75-percent nor
NAL condition May Is, II percent nor

normal for tie 10 year period.
The average yield of l28 pounds of
lint cotton per acre is forecast, with
a total production (allowing | percent

267,600 bales. The average yield in
1920 was l26 pounds per acre and the
production 298,000 bales, and -four
years ago, $4,000 bales.
The acreage has been reduced 544,-

Thursday, June 30-The weather is
still fine and the farm work is being
rushed. This morning the two Wood
brothers started work and their first
colony efforts were put forth in plant
ing peanuts. About a dozen men went
out to the peanut patch and planted
the whole field by noon. In the pm.
the same crew hoed in the bottom cane
patch and they certainly are making
the crops show up in fine shape, as all
the weeds are hoed out. Lindsey and
Darth are working Fordson No. z
steadily from dawn to darkness, and
to-day they will finish up the lower
east field. Robertson is following up
and lining out the ground and Kemp
is planting corn and soy beans; they
will probably finish the whole job by
tomorrow and move over north of the
mule barn. The brick. machine was
started to-day noon on another run of
about $4,000 bricks; the crew was
composed of Ole, (his last name is too
long and hard to spelD c. Caron,
Rechsteiner, Nc. ConnelI. Stuersel,
Willhide, with Waters and Merrel rum
ming the scrapers. Stuersel and Will
hide are only borrowed for the after
noon, as the farm work is taking up
the larger crew of men at present. You
see that cooperation permits us to ad-
Just ourselves to our needs as all of
us benefit by the adjustments. Van

The beans, peas. and popcorn planted
at the orchard are doing nicely and in
few more days our planting will be
done for the summer Morressey. Mol

ing to the timber patch at Cooper's S
and Satnan. |. Caron and Vernon B.
are hauling logs again. and with good
weather, they will have them to the
sawmiIl in few weeks. Comrade
Hastings is helping Walter Langridge
at the garage, getting Fords and Ford
sons in shape to earn their daily keep
and want you to know we are glad
to have some one come in and handle
this work, as our spring rush has caus-
ed US to neglect our jitneys for long
time. Schad and Thomas are making
more peanut butter to-day. Few peo-
pie realize that there is more and bet
ter food value in peanut butter than
in COWS butter; but it is so. and we
