real crime to have to sell the great |
big beautiful oak trees of all kinds to
be made into small slaves, but that is
what we have had to do, in order to
pay for this years land payment. No,
we did not sell it all, by a big lot; but
the helling of one tree for slaves is
a great waste of raw material If you
who have held back with the support
you might have given had just been
little more in hurry about your buy
ing of land or membership, we could
have saved the timber we sold. | be-
lieve we have timber enough to pay
out our whole land contract; but if
we sell it fer that purpose, it will be
the greatest possible waste to. our in
stitution. So please remember we
need your assistance to continue the
buying of this land until these coop
orators own all of this 10000 acres.

Monday. May 9-Lindsey is running
the tractor in order to catch up with
the farm work and let AL catch up with
jitncy repairing. All the teams but
two are farming, like they meant it.
We had fine rain this am, and we
feel extremely good over it. The
brick crew shut down with a full
house this morning and now the whole
crew is at the saw mill helping get out
raiIroad ties and timbers for the new
brick kiln. Comrade Barger and wife
decided to stay with us and signed up
for membership. Mrs. Barger was at
work before breakfast. helping Mrs.
Nash. Now it looks as if Vernon
might lose one Of his jobs. When peo-
pie are really interested in their work,
hours don't count. Three girls are
now tending the chickens, and these
girls are usually down on the job by
8 am. If they keep on with early
morning and late-evening work, our
he.s will be trained to keep Comrades
Linn and Rooney going day and night
to keep them from getting nervous
> waiting for meals. Phil Buhre is now
getting around and will soon be on his
/ lob again, while Gallo is champing at
\ his bit, impatiently waiting for the DR..

\ again. The photo gallery is putting out
some nice post cards: would you like
Il some of them sent to you? Price, lOc

and the job of moving the stumps is
