A FINE PROGRAM
AT NEWLLANO THEATER

The colonists and friends enjoyed a
splendid entertainment on Sunday
might, June 70, at the Newllano thea
ter The local talent, assisted by
friends from Leesville. and a young
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Suhre,
old colonists who are onsa visit with
friends, arranged an excellent treat at
short notice.
The orchestra, increased. by Lees
vile musicians, played in a masterful
manner. Miss Lois Will played pi-
ano solo in her superb way. Mrs
Warren Buck sang a solo, accompan-
led on the piano by Miss Trixie Ewell,
and replied to an encore with an addi-
tonal rendition.
Comrade George Thomas sang bal
lad, The Broken Ring" and the
Llano Girls Quartette" as usual was
there with the goods. The girls have
good talent and sing delightfully."-. Lit
tie Lois Suhre furnished the treat par
excellence of the evening. She was
arrayed IN a fancy Scottish costume
and danced the ''Heeland Fling" with
a verve and precision that would have
done credit to a native Scotchman or
a PROFESSIONAL Mr.. Wood, who is vis-
iting a relative at the Colony, gave a
fine defamation.
Some splendid Victrola records add
ed their contribution to the enjoyment
of the occasion. This entertainment
has shown that long preparations are
not required to provide the colonists
with agreeable diversion. There is
enough talent available to get up some
kind of BLOW out any old time.

An Old-Fashioned
Fourth Celebration
co-oPERATIvES SERVE SWEDEN

The Swedish Cooperative Union re-
ports remarkable progress during the
past year. The unions wholesale es-
tablishment increased its business by
25 per cent, while the combined busi-
ness Of the retail co-operatives increas-
ed from t73,000,000 kroner to 1885,
100000 kroner. They have also saw
ed larger dividend for their members
by establishing an efficient central pur-
chasing agency, thereby effecting
large-scale economics.
hTe cooperative societies now sup
ply approximately one-third Of the peo-
pie of Sweden with the necessaries Of
life. Besides handling food and cloth
ing and fuel, the Cooperative Union
conducts a cooperative insurance So
ciety, which not only enables cooper
ators to protect their families with life
insurance at actual cost, but also keeps
a large insurance fund within their own
control to be used wholly for the COM
mon welfare.
; The place Of the Swedish Cooper
ative Union in the economic life Of the
nation is indicated by the action Of the
prime minister of Sweden in dropping
affairs of state to attend the last con-
gress Of the union.

Uncle Jake out on his trip, my stem

Business than ever before to handle!
Well. we will get it done some way or
other, and, as the Colony still progress
ses. I'VE should worry" Comrade
Winters and wife arrived on the early
train from Canada-and threatened
exodus is on. Who wants to stay in
the South with a Canadian winters"
coming here? Some joke, but the
Winters family is not joke; they are
old co-operators and are here to look
us over. They are old friends of H.
Bell and his father. Nash and Rech-
steiner are remodeling the house out
at the strawberry patch for Joe Valek
to live III. No, not alone, either; he
is going to have a partner on this new
house Job. Of course he isn't going
to get married-not now, at least.
Satnan and Vernon are hauling wood
again to-day and the farmers are rush
ing work on account of the cloudy sky
that looks like more rain. Comrade
Hoover signed up contract to-day
and will start work tomorrow. Ole

farmer and carpenter, and these two
fellows both want help. The print
4shop force is rushing to get out the
\ Democrat and Colonist to-day and a
y busy bunch are they. 1t seems
hard for some people to get the idea
as to our method of paying ourselves.
We are not working for company;
we are the company; therefore we
hire ourselves and pay ourselves, and
own our production. If we pay a cash
wage that is more than enough to pay
our actual expenses. we have wasted
(to the Colony as a whole) all cash
so paid out, above the expense of our
keep; therefore we are only allowing
sufficient cash wage to pay the indis
vidual expenses of each Perssp; be-
cause we are in the pioneer Stage of
DEVELOPMENT. and have nothing we
feel like throwing away in waste. If
we progress to such an extent that we
can have better homes, education, So
cial life as well as food and clothing,
without buying them with cash, why
should we care about any cash wages

let's forget the future; we have CO.
operative demonstration to make; let's
make it and let the future bring what
i will. The Esperanto classes were
held as usual tonight and much pro-
gress is being made. A birthday party

see great rivalry oozing out from
the ribs of Comrades Lamb, Gallo, and
Hook, each trying to become an ex-
pert in pounding his own nails. Well,
they are doing a good job and are out
of mischief at least, and these young
CD fellows must be taken care of.
Comrade Hoover went to work at the
saw mill this am. and the crew on the
job at the mill are turning out work
for the crate makers. Both the Colon
ist and the Democrat were printed to-
day and put into the mail and part of
the Colony News, our monthly maga-
zine, is also made up for the press.
Rain is the principal order of the day
on the farm and the farm crew works
between the showers and some times
between the rain-drops, and very Of
ten in ther showers. Very often they
get so used to these showers that after
work they go to the shower-bath house
to keep from being lonesome. The
Langridge family are nicely quartered
at the dairy farm. | don't dare say
they are settled, because they are not.
As soon as new sleeping quarters can
be built, Baldwin. Rowe, and Brough-
ton can take up their abode in the new
sleeping house, and then the LangriIge
folkss3can get settled. Miss Langridge
is now presiding over the swimming
pool and is doing her best to teach Joe
Valek to swim. Just think of the ter
rible job before herl It's waste Of
time. The psychological meeting was
well-attended and subjects closely re-
lated to our everyday life were the
principal topics under discussion.

is not altogether an easy thing for
the average woman to adjust herself
to the Colony life. Most of them are

have the idea<in their heads that such
work is for women to do to-day, to-

some for the dear old mop stick and

are not easily given up. They just

THINK 1T OVER, MR.. PAYNE

Argus-Leader-It is manifest that
Acknowledgement Payne plans to retire
from politics on the expiration of his
present term. Otherwise, he would
not go out of his way to reverse the re-
cord he made In his first term and try
to close the Sunday movie and the
Sunday baseball game, which means,
of course, the death of the South, Da-
kota baseball league. While making
this fight, Mr.. Payne is going to spend
a lot of the taxpayers money and rouse
a r~egretable class of feeling and that
is about all that he will accomplish, we
think. 1t is declared that almost all
of the states attorney present at the
Huron meeting were opposed to the
new Payne policy. If Mr.. Payne could
hear what people are saying, he would
realize how hard he is going to find
it to get juries which will take the
sun out of Sunday"
II the Sunday law Is really enforced
in South Dakota, not a wheel can turn
or a cigar or newspaper be bought. In
fact the Sunday newspaper could not
be published or distributed. Judged
strictly, one could not fish, or hunt. II
joy-riding, golf or tennis are public
sports" and they are certainly public"
enough these would be "verboten." If
Mr.. Payne is really going to try to en-
force Ito the letter" the Sunday law
as 1t stands, he is going to be respon-
sible for a lot of harm before he gets
through with his program. He will
not even be sustained in this effort by
the pastors of the state who know that
the ill-feeling resulting from such a
campaign would react seriously
against the churches. If joy-riding,
golf and tennis are going to be per-
mitted to those who own a car or are
members of private clubs while the
baseball game and the movies are for
hidden to those without cars and club
meberships, we shall be discriminate
ing in favor of the rich and against
the poor and you can't make good
citizens that way We are disposed
TO suggest to the encouragement be-
fore he goes further to think this
thing over In a big way.

STACKER MONEY

At the present time there is some
thing like Is billion dollars on deposit
in the banks of America.
This sum greases the wheels of in
dustry; it pays the employe and buys
rev goods and machinery. In other
words it is the money used for bust
ness.
Ii there was more workable capital
there would be more business.
More business means less unemploy-
mcnt; 1t means prosperity.
Another five billion or ten billion
dollars would make things hum.
And it could be had. II all the "froz-
en- money" spent for diamonds or
tucked away in old tea cups, bureau
drawers, under the mattress and in the
pocket was to be added to the money
spent for Amalgamated Headache Oil
stock and the other members of the
nefarious Get-Rich-Quick-Nit family,
and this money put to work there
would be no doubt about the wheels
of commerce humming merrily.
Money was made to use, not to de-
corate a tea cup. Carrying SIS around
in your pocket doesn't do you any
good. It only helps to keep down the
workable capital OF the nation and
unavoidable capital is about as valu-
able as the hole in a doughnut.
What can we do about It? (
Take no chance with our money.
Invest a part Of our income regularly.
Do not hoard. Do net lug around .

Aberdeen News-Clara Hamon has
gone into the movies according to re-
ports from her home town and for the
next two years is to put into film
drama some of the incidents of her
life which avaricious producers will
try to exploit with salacious sugges-
ton for the patronage of the prurient
and the curious.
In this pandering to the base in
public taste, much as the movies may
be willing to pay for her appearance,
the young woman does the thing which
will kill a great deal of honest SYM
patty for her. Her evident willing
ness to capitalize her shame is going
to disgust many.
And in earger seizure by producers
of the story of this girls ruin featured
ostensibly as a warning to girls" is
to be found the tendency of the indus
try which has brought down upon il
censure and the demand for a cleanup.
Happily the Hamon woman is not be-

When the fishes no longer flop.
And the baby stops squalling.
When the dunner no longer duns
And the boot owls quit hooting,
When the rivers ever cease to run,
And the burglar stops his footing.
When the vine no longer twines,
And the skylark stops his larking,
When the sur no longer shines
And young men quit sparkling,
When the heavens begin to drop
And the old maids stop advising

OKLAHOMA HAS BIG CROP OF
PECAN NUTS

The pecan crop in Oklahoma this
year promises to be a bumper one.
and altho a heavy frost must fan
before the nuts can be harvested.
many pickers report that the num-
ber of nuts that have been blown
off is ample.
Along almost every small stream
in northeastern Oklahoma one can
find pecan trees, especially in Tulsa
Creek, Usage and Washington coun-
ties. Buyers on a wholesale basis
are paying 10 cents a pound for the
larger sizes and less for those un-
dersized or mixed
The Deep Forks farms, near Bris-
tow, are said to produce from 5000
to $4,000 worth of nuts annually.
The construction Of improved
roads throughout northeastern Ok
lahoma has induced hundreds of res
ldents of the towns and cities to go
pecan hunting. Many make a day
of the trip, finding that the accu-
mutation of nuts they find is worth
the effort.
