Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-05-19

SEE the problems to be solved. Our in-
dividualistic education makes il hard
for Us to forget ourselves. in the inter-
est Of the whole community. The suc-
cess of the Colony means success for
all within the Colony and demonstra-
ton Of cooperation for which the
world is hungry. But a special priv
ilege given to one or more individuals
would be contrary to right principles
in action, and if continued would rum
the institution. The mental. science
class was held and was well attended
and some fine lessons were brought
out Every night we meet new knowl-
edge is brought to light which can and
must be used right here and the world
over, if we wish to bring about the
cooperative commonwealth.

Monday. May l6-A new week
started with promise of good results.
Comrade Lindsey is at Rosepine re-
pairing and replenishing the shoe car
and expects to bring it home to-day.
So his crew went to work as usual this
am. clearing land, pulling stumps, and
farming. But Ole and conspired to
wreck Lindsey's crew while he was
gone, and we also upset Ole's plans too
and put DeVine, Lloyd, Atkins, Ba.-
ger, Tackett, and Horne out at the
dairy to build goat-proof Tense a.
round the original dairy forty and
cross fense to keep the goats away
from the swimming pool; and this
will just about do the job this pm.
The stump pulIers are about to finish
up their work on the big field and will
then work around the edges. Satnan
and |. Caron are hauling logs from the
garden 80 and the saw mill is cutting
them into lumber for the roof Of the
brick kiln. The crew there to-day is
IC. Caron, Bergman, P. Caron, Wood
ward, Rechsteiner, and Nash, the lat
ter worrying around the shingle ma
chine. Waters, Reym. and Kaas are
working on the kiln and should have it
ready for bricks by the time the roof
is on. The other work is in PROCESS
as usual at the laundry. hotel, shoe
shop, store, photo gallery, broom fac
tory, bakery, etc. To me this is almost
red-letter day; for have just been
talking with man who can, and will,
join the Colony, put in set OF spin
ming wheels, looms, and such apparatus
as will produce our own cloth We
are producing our food and shelter
now; with the acquisition Of cloth
factory, we are making the third ano
last step toward solving our econom.
ic problems. And this fellow is the
right kind; he can make his own ma.
chimes if he has to, and those are tht
kind of men we must depend upon tC
institute new industries. The mar
who knows the way from the bottom
up and is willing to do the job. Ihi
was certainly big problem for me
but simple one for the man wht
knows how. All our problems arr
small ones if we only get the prope
knowledge and apply the right Prin
cipIes to solve them. Tonight wa
Esperanto night and a good attend
ance was had as usual. Before tn,
Esperanto class, Wayne WOODWARD
had the children out on the schOo
athletic field performing stunts ant
giving them athletic training. Afte
Esperanto a moving picture show wa
held at the theater showing education
al films.
