Grafton has been the biggest kind Of
a help to working people. and what it
has done for them over there it can
do for the American laborer ,in ev-
en- larger measure. because oppor-
tunities are more favorable on this
side of the ocean than over there. If
they had chance in England like
we have here in Newllano. there would
be hundred thousand people on the
ground in a hurry. The opportunities
available determine the kind of COOP
erative work to start with. We start
ed with production, because we have,
access to the land, chance that CO.
operators in England mostly lacked.

The bitches leading from the springs
to the concrete intake for the pipe lines
over the ranch have recently been
cleaned Of sand and the sand boxes
which catch sand along the pipe lines,
have also been cleaned. There will
be other work to be done, possibly,
but the system is in fairly good shape

Of this work and will be responsible

Neighbors frequently borrow tools

it has been the colony's policy to lend
with only the stipulation that they be
returned in as good condition as when
taken. The Colony thresher was lent

The poultry department is now es-
tablished as separate department.
Heretofore it has been grouped with
the garden and bees, but as it is time
for Matching. and as the garden re-
quires SO much more attention, it be-
came necessary to make the division.
Mrs. Taylor is now in charge Of the
poultry. An incubator is being repair
ed and will be put into operation at
once. the eggs now being ready for it.
The Colony has two incubators of stan
.dard makes. one with l30-egg ca
.pacity, and one with 270-egg capac-
ity. Several hens have been set, and
there are turkey eggs now in course
of incubation under hens. Ten young
turkeys are well advanced past the
danger stage, two Of them having been
hsnd-raised. and are now pets. The
chickens to be raised this year will
be chiefly Rhode Island Reds, this be-
ing the stock now here. A change to
another or more than one breed may
be made later. The turkeys are the
Bronze variety and excellent stock, one

ing her second allotment for this sea-

Some anonymous person has sent Us
a pamphlet. in which he asserts that
tithing to whatever church or religion;
combination one cares to favor, is the
proper and only way to secure one:
success. Giving one-tenth Of ones In
come to the church, he says, is the
command of God. That ministers ol
every sect should favor such giving,
is quite likely, as they would be the
beneficiaries of such Iiberality on the
part Of the people. But how the peo-
pie are to get any benefit from that
process is not quite so evident.
If tithing is such a powerful meas
ure to secure well-being, safety, and
happiness. then the Jews should have
been the greatest, richest, and most
happy people in their day, because
.tithing was with them a regular Gus
tom, enjoined by all the power of
their religious teaching, rites, and So
called theocratic government. But,
judging by their own records, such
was not the case. and the condition for
most of them was one of poverty,
wretchedness, and misery.
Because Of such lessons of history,
we conclude that the claims advanced
in favor Of tithing as a prosperity pro-
moter, are entirely unproven, and
should be distrusted.
The careful observer Of human e.
vents. who has acquired the know
ledge that all economic values are e.
volved by human labor, and that no
fortuitous additions come from any
other direction, will unqualifiedly re-
ject the claims Of this anonymous
'tither," as he signs himself.

Federal judges the other day decid-

Of the Lever act is unconstitutional.
Evidently the rich can do whatever

tional rights and the judges are never
able to do anything for him.
