PARENTS
To the Editor:

All parents encounter perplexing
problems in the development of the
little children and are puzzled to know
the right course to pursue.
Here is where the assistance of the
kindergarten teacher is of especial
value. Her study of child nature en-
ables her to deal successfully with the
different types of children and their
pecularities.
If there is no kindergarten in your
school, write and ask the National
kindergarten Association, s West 40
Street, New York City, what steps to
take to secure this educational ad.

There is only one way to make yourself

not be trained to make living on the land,
and land is hard to get, except at inflated
prices. -.
Why not consider our proposition?
The Llano Cooperative Colony has con-
tracted to purchase tract of ZO,OOO acres
of cutover land, and aims to reserve 5OOO
of these acres for a complete cooperative
community.
Desiring to be surrounded by co-operators
who prefer to own their own farms, and by
other colonies, we are holding the balance
of $1,000 acres for the cooperative move
ment. Our purchase contract calls tor the
buving of another 1000 acres May first this
wear, and so that we may conserve our own
finances for our colony development, we
want YOU co-operators to buy this ZOOO
acres in May We already own 3OOO
acres. and have more land than we can de-
velop with our present resources. We want
YOU. each of you who read this, to buy
small acreage or a thousand acres if you
want to. The price is SIS an acre. Never
again will the opportunity come to buy good
land at the price of SIS an acre. especial

Is Your Future Secure?

ony industries to go to when IN need OF re-
pairs and work done.
There is no speculation about this. We
just want you to buy this land and you will
receive a deed to as many acres as you
buy. If you do not want to live on it when
you come down here, we will exchange 1t
for other land which we may have or ac-
cept it on a mem bership into the colony.
Your deed is good security. In no bet
ter way can you put your money to use with
out giving it to your enemies to use against
the movement.
Five million men are today looking for an
opportunity to work, but are unable to find
it. The ownership of 10000 acres of land
would give employment to large number of
people and provide them with an opportun-
ity to make themselves independent. The
last of our great resources, the land, is now
passing into the hands of the big land own
ers. The laboring people must awaken to
this fact: that their future welfare depends
upon the ownership of the land
Now, comrade, lend us your aid. You
cannot expect to bring about the co-opera-
tive commonwealth by talking about it. We
are not asking for your money; we only
want you to buy living for the future from
the $4,000 acres near us, that we may CO.
operate with each other.
You will never regret the move. But, re-
member, you must act at once to help us
