Of the Carnegie Endowment for Inter-

he could not discuss the principles put
in practice in Russia by the BoIshevists
because they REJECT EVERY AS
SUMPTION upon which we proceed in

which seems to us a necessary presup-

claims to be, would be able to face and
discuss the principles put in practice
in Russia to-day. with something more
tangible and substantial than mere as
sumptions.
Human life is fundamental fact,
and the subsistence indispensably re-
quired for the maintenance Of that life
is. also an undeniable fact, and both
together quite reliable bases for argu-
ment, whose validity cannot be chal-
lenged. by anyone who is in search of
truth and has any regard for mental
honesty. We challenge President But
Ter to answer the question whether pro-

and of all that can minister to the con-
veniences and amenities Of life, should
be carried on for the use Of the people
or for the purpose of profiteering and

A large increase in population was

so he will never have chance to rest
while he is here. Mrs. Taylor went to
work Immediately in the kitchen, and
the children have been apportioned
various duties. l
Another large increase in population
was made during the last two weeks of
February. when more than 80 very
small and immature colonists arrived.
All of them are pure-bred- Duroc-J Jer-
seys and are doing well. Twelve sows
are mothers of this flock of lively
youngsters, which makes an average of
nearly seven to the SOW.

The last small grain was sowed on
March 2, when four sacks of wheat
were put in. The first barley sowed
is up and doing fine, and the later
barley, oats, and wheat are beginning
to come up. This is a late season,
but the prospects for good crops are
excellent. The total acreage of grain
sowed will be in the neighborhood of
$50 acres. Considerable Milo maize
and field corn will be planted as soon
as the weather permits, which will pro-
baby be along in April.

could possibly have shown for her own
pups. In fact, she temporarily desert

so successfully nursed the little pigs

a few hours later and are now doing
well.

Richard Marden, who is visiting us,
arrived just in time to get himself into
a job. In fact, he got into one be-
fore he got here. We were hauling
grain for seed. Comrade Marden got
off the stage and was enquiring for
the ranch. The truck driver heard
him, and told him to hop on to the
truck. An hour later it began to rain,
the road got slippery. and Comrade
Marden was initiated into colony work
by being introduced to shovel. The
next day he continued working, and
day later butchered hog for us.
There is no rest even for visitors in the
colony during this season. We even
abolished Sunday when the spring
work was most pressing.
