Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-11-24

in the world. Comrade Wright Of Ark
ansas is looking the Colony over with
the intention Of staying with us and,
although he has been unfortunate in
some ways, he has been blessed with
lots of pluck and good spirit. The
sorghum is all cut and hauled to the
silo and Monday it will be run into the
silo for the bossies. John Hoover re-
! turned home, after a hasty trip to Cal
lfornia, and we were glad to have him
back and on the job. The dancing
school and dance were as usual we'll
attended tonight. Next week we ex-
pect to start work on the Roof Garden,
and in a few weeks we will be holding
our regular Saturday night sociaIs
there. A new hardwood floor and an
8Ox80 floor space will add greatly to
our future pleasure at the dances.

Sunday. Nov. 20. = Being behind
in our syrup-making, some of us work
ed at the mill to-day grinding cane and
cooking syrup; but, as whole, every
body took a good rest. The fellows
have ben working like beavers to get
the harvest over before bad weather
sets in and they turned the trick. Ev-
erybody worked with the cooperative
spirit and determination to get it all
done Saturday, and they did; and we
are all much pleased. Our rush, our
hard work, our production is our own,
and yet some people try to tell us that
cooperation will kill the individual ef-
fort. Oh my! what a joke! If YOU
are ambitious to develop just what is
in you, come here and you will have
your opportunity. Under competition
they try to keep you down or rob you
OF your talents; here we wish you to
develop them for the good of the en-
tire community, to benefit us all. Will
we hinder you? Well, | guess not!
Would we cut off our noses to spite
our faces? How ridiculous! Your
real power lies in the service you rem
der, and it stands to reason that the
community enjoys more benefits from
the added service. You can become as
powerful as you please and retain that
power as long as you render the SER
vice; but when you slow up, there is
no pull by which you can hold your
power Gee, it is great to be powerful
but you have to dig in to get fortune
10 smile on you in this place. Ambi-
ton? You bet, you can shoot her
here, but be sure it is constructive and
honest effort and a wish to serve the
or you will not last long.
Yes, we will assist you to develop your
individuality to the greatest degree pos
sible here. Did you ever stop to think
just what your life work will sum no
to, when your time arrives to 'check
ma Will you be able to look back
with satisfaction upon YOU record as
a unit in a cog of the worlds machin-
cry? Comrade, are you satisfied mere
ly to exist or do you wish to accomplish
something of worth to the human race?
Cooperation will be established and
you now have a chance to lend hand
What part do you want to play and
why don't you get into it? There is
always a way if we want to do it. Why
do you hold back? Some of US have
spent several years of pioneering in
this movement and now our enterprise
IS an assured success; but we must de-
pend upon you to help make it a sue
cess on a larger scale And in the do
ing of this. you viii surely enjoy the
best years of your life. If you are a
real co-operat6r, your work will be
pleasure and the association with peo-
pie who think as you do will be the
beginning Of new world to you. The
mental science class is growing and the
lessons are of great interest and bene-
fit to those who wish to solve their
