morning and has stopped the work Of
clearing land Most of the men went
to the house where the soy beans are
stored and have shelled beans all day.
These beans are to be used for seed
this spring and some Of them will be
eaten. There is no bean grown that
has better food values than this par
ticular variety. Buhre. Bergman, and
Synoground are rigging up the turn

SCIENCE CLASS PRO-
POSES NEW QUARTERS

The members of the mental science
class devoted themselves last Sunday
night to the study of the fourth lesson
of the course. which deals with the
nature Of the real ''I''-not the phys
ical body, or the mind, but ones own
very self. As long as anyone is un-
conscious Of this real seIf-although
it is the real, he is unable to actualize
its supreme powers in objective mani
festation, because conscious recogni-
ton of it and willingness to observe
the conditions essential to its phenom-
email appearance must be complied
with, just as the uses of electricity
are only available when men employ
the discovered and manufactured con-
trivances adapted to the nature of E.
lectricity..
The students were advised to study
the lesson during the week and prac-
tice mental relaxation for at least
twenty-five minutes during the morn
ing hours to acquire the self-control
and equipoise of mind that is essential
to superior achievement. Wasting
precious time on negative criticism
was decried and the Importance Of
utilizing all available time. to useful
and constructive thinking and action
was especially recommended.
A committee of three, consisting Of
Mrs. Shut. George 7. Pickett, and
Howard Buck. were instructed to look
up different meeting place. which
will offer more comfortable seats to
the students SO that they can concen-
trate in concert at the meetings. Mrs,
Robertson will preside at the next
class meeting.

cant. TO save my breath, see why
some Of our women don't go at it,
Here freedom of choice Of occupation
will permit women TO compete with
men. She can make herself free from
being the servant to man and can
make herself personally felt in the In
dustrial field. Who will make the

1t takes love to make a home, and
when both are not on an equality, love
cannot reign. Women, compete with
man and show him you are capable
of accepting industrial responsibilitys
and successfully managing Colony en-
terprises. Educate yourselves to be
the equals of man, and then he will
be more interested in you and the
home. Men like to talk to and as
sociate with their equals, and all you
have to do is to show him-and you
can in the Colony.
Thursday, Jan. l3-lt is raining
again to-day and we are doing up lots
of small odd jobs. The Smelling of

The psychological meeting was well
attended and the principal thought of
the evening was the process Of select

course this was deviation from the
intent Of the meeting. but it is very
important factor in keeping good
health and a strong body, which is
necessarily a result of right education

IT'S SERVICE THAT SPELLS SUCCESS


1t isn't the cut Of the clothes you wear
Nor the stuff out Of which they are made
Though chosen with taste and fastdous care
And it isn't the price that you paid;
1t isn't the size of your pile in the bank
Nor the number of acres you own;
It isn't question Of prestige or rank,
Nor of sinew, and muscle. and bone
1t isn't the servants that come at your CALL
1t isn't the things you possess
Whether many or ltle-or nothing at all
For it's SERVICE that measures success
1t isn't question Of name, of length
Of ancestral pedigree
Nor question Of mental vigor and strength
Nor question of social degree;
1t isn't questioT of city or town,
Nor questo Of doctrine or creed
1t isn't quesdc Of fame or renoWn,
Nor quest of valorous deed;
But he who m somebodys happy each
day.
And he who es heed TO distress.
Will find satis--on the richest Of pay
For its SERVICE that measures success
