Llqno Colony Enters
Rice Growing Field
TAKES OVER LARGE FARM WHERE
RICE WILL BE PRODUCED FOR
USE OF COLONISTS
LLANO I25-CLUB GETS
ONE MORE MEMBER

The program Of building for Llano
is going ahead.
Last year at this time we purchased
one thousand acres Of land from the
large tract which the Colony has op-
ton on, believing that the cooperative
move would soon need land on which
to start more cooperative communi-
ties. This year we want to double this
acreage and buy another two thousand
acres for the same purpose. Land will
not be any cheaper than il is to-day
and when the cooperative movement
needs it. the price will Be much higher,
if not prohibitive.
Along with this purchase, the colon
lists have set their goal this year to pur-
chase the optioned land. and in addi-
ton to provide modern conveniences
for their own Colony. This will IN
clude a new dormitory for the Llano
hotel, and half Of the money for this
has already been provided; but work
cannot begin until some brick layers
can be obtained. Then the water
works and the electric light and pow
er plant come next. The light plant
IS already provided for, one oomrade
alone donating to the Colony sufficient
to provide this convenience.
To complete the whole program
the land purchase, the hotel and the
water and light plant, and to provide
fencing, new machinery and equipment
to forever put Llano beyond the need
Of, outside help is estimated at $l25,-
600. The Llano l25-CLUB is for the
purpose Of getting rs members to pro-
mise to join the Colony this year and
pay in their entrance fees before JAM
uary lst.
The following list is Of those who
have already signified their intention
Of joining this year. The new one ad-
ded this week is F. D. Conway.

DARN THAT WEATHER MANI

The farmer Of Vernon Parish hardly
knows just where he is at :" these
days. About the time he thinks he IS
going to have a few dry days to get his
crops in. along comes another shower
and he has another think coming.
Those that are in are now fine. Of
course, but the indications are that the
continuous round Of showers win cause
the sweet potatoes and peanuts and
things TO be harvested about Christ

lowed to continue, it is feared that the

MAY DAY NUMBER SPECIAL
COLONIST NEXT WEEK

The next issue of The Llano Colon
ist will contain some special May Day
features.
You see May Day is not only the in
ternational labor day, but it is also the
anniversary of the Llano Colony. and
the birthday Of The Llano Colonist.
Next week we will publish some spe-
cial significant May Day Messages
from the leaders in cooperative work,
and a special report from the manager
of the Llano Cooperative Colony.
The May issue Of The American
Co-operator will Be a special Llano
Colony number. and will be enlarged
to 81 pages, which will be appreciated
by those interested in Llano. For send
ing TO your friends for propaganda pur-
poses this special May American Coz
operate" will be just the thing. Ex-
pressions of conditions at Llano by
many Of its residents, will shed little
light on the reason for such progress
as Llano has recently made. Special
articles and some new pictures will
show by contrast the immense amount
of work accomplished in few short
years.
Better send in and reserve a few May
American Co-operators for your
friends. They will be put up in bum
dies Of ten or over at five cents a copy.
This is below the regular price and
really less thar cost; 50 that only bun
dies Of ten or more can be handled at
this rate. Now. friends, if you want
to boost Llano. here is you chance.
Any other Llano literature is free for
the asking.

The Llano Cooperative Colony Is
nov in the business Of producing rice.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby the Colony takes over The op-
Grafton Of 273-acre farm located near
Jennings, La, rs miles from NewlIano.
and force Of men from the Colony
are now on the place plowing and do-
ing other work preparatory to putting
in the crop.
About SO acres are III timber and
the remainder is under cultivation. AIl
will be planted 10 rice except about
20 acres. which will probably Be PLAN
ted TO Irish potatoes. A conservative
estimate places the yield Of rice at
1900 bage. or about 5000 bushels
which means a plentiful supply for col-
ony use and one article less that viii

On the place IS 4 $4,000 wen and
pumping plant. which furnishes water
for irrigation purposes to surrounding
farmers for one-fifth of their crop and
this arrangement will net The Colony
an additional 1000 bags at a low es-
innate. Besides bountiful supply of
rice for the table, large surplus for
stock is also assured. The rice straw
makes excellent roughage for the ami
mails. and any amount Of this may Be
had BY baling it on shares.
W. H. West and Arthur Sharp, both

New York. June 12.-After balanc-

The st. Louis outfit, with the excep-

erratic hurting, has fallen back in the
race.
Washington has taken the lead in the
four-club scramble for third place. dis
placing Cleveland after taking three in
a row from Speakers men,, whose hit

some steady pitching, jumped back to
the first division and, by beating the
Senators Sunday, was within a half

The return of Eddie Rommel, their
star hurler, revived the Athletics, who
were in the throes of a bad slump.
Boston held the Browns to an even

Sunday to the White Sox, the result
lifting Chicago out of the last place

MONTEREY CAVALRY
REERSES DOPE IN
BOISE POLO MATCH
Defeats Fl. Russell in First
Game of Ninth Army
Corps Series.

Boise, Idaho, June 12.-Upsetting
all prior polo DOPE" the Eleventh
Cavalry team, of the Monterey Presi-
dio won 8 to Z in a "spotty" match
with the crack Thirteenth Cavalry
Quartet, of Fort D. A. Russell, Wyom-
ing Monday afternoon. The match
was the first in the Ninth army corps
area championship series.
With both games lost Of the two
previously played, the California
players went into the game against
the stellar playing Wyoming aggrega-
ton, but Wyoming failed to star and,
with the exception of the last two
periods, the game was slow with many
misses and poor polo by both teams.
The "honors' were even in the first
four periods and the score tied at %.
Then the Monterey came to the fore
and out played and out rode its OPP
ponents, scoring three times in success
sion on stellar plays. AT the bell, Coul-
ten, Of the Eleventh, missed a sixth
try by inches. The ball rolled across
the goal lines, barely missing the post.
With King, the veteran Wyoming
captain-player, replacing Boon in the
sixth period, the game became more
closely played and more spectacular
from the viewpoint of the average
spectator. Voight, of the Thirteenth,
perhaps the most consistent player en-
tered in the tournament this year had
failed to show during the previous
periods, but settled down in the sixth
and with Major Read, substituting for
Lipman, of Monterey, whose injuries
forced him out of the game, was the
feature of the sixth period.
Read rode his horse into more plays,
hit more consistently and played his
opponent out of the plays in a better
fashion than did any other man on the
field with the exception of Voight, not
w~ithstanding the fact that until the
opening of the northwestern tourna-
ment. Read had not played for nearly
eight months.
Tuesday afternoon, finals for the re-
runners trophies will be play
ed by the tenth field artillery team
against the independent F%reebooters
organizations.
Bosie won the trophy with four con-
~secutive wins in the round-robin series.
The thirteenth cavalry has two won
and two lost, as runnerup, pending the
result of Tuesdays match, in which
Camp Lewis will enter with one match
won and two lost. They are touted TO
win from the Freebooters and tie with
the Wyoming contingent for runner
up honors.

MAJOR LEACUE TEAM
To PLAY IN JAPAN
AFTER SEASON ENDS
Players Will Be Picked for
Sportsmanship as Well
as for Ability.

Chicago, June 12.-The proposed
tour of Japan by a major league base
ball club, which has been invited to
the Orient by Waseda and Keio uni
versities. has been given the official
O. X. of the American league by Byron
B. Johnson, head of that organization.
The club is to be composed of players
from both the American and National
leagues, but selections of these will not
be made until the championship race in
the two leagues is over.
President johnson is enthusiastic
over the project, especially since the
men are to be selected as much for
their high character as sportsmen as
for their baseball ability.
1t is proposed to have the players in
the Orient for four months, playing
about 20 games, IL of which will be
played in Japan, against Waseda and
