PRODUCT WITH b VERTIlE CREW

Llano Colony has experienced an
other squirt in its building boom.
You see, we spurted before, but ran
out Of material before we got fairly
started. Building from our own mater
ial is not like building in the cities.
where one can phone up the lumber
yard and have the material on hand
in an hour. When we in Llano run out
of lumber Of certain grade it means
that we have 10 go 10 the woods and
cut it, and haul and season it.
Llano has several unfinished build
ings on its building program; these in
clude the cafeteria. now almost com
pleted. the printshop, the machinery
building, which will Be Of two story
brick and which is still going up. not
to mention the large roof-garden, which
has been side-tracked in favor of more
essential buildings. All these were in
various stages of completion, mostly
nearly done when shortage Of season-
ed material occurred.
Much of this trouble was on Ole's
hands, but one day he slipped down
below a mile or two from here and
traded three Of our goats for $1,000
feet of hardwood lumber, cut and sea-
soned, ready to cut up for flooring,
crates, ct c. This contained good
proportion of oak, some hickory, and
the balance gum and ash, The oak
and hickory will be made into floor
ing for the printship and cafeteria, etc.
and this will finish these two buildings.

in no manner change the position Of
the mine workers Or result in the ter
mination Of the strike. Men voluntar-
lily on strike will not return to work
merely because armed guards are plac-
ed around the mines. No question Of
law and order is involved, because
mine workers are punctiliously observ-
ing the law and no troops are neces-
sary.
This action of the federal govern
ment is merely a gesture, which will
not produce coal in any substantial
quantity. The mine workers will CON
tinue on strike until some honorable
avenue of settlement, in accord with
the principle Of collective bargaining, is
offered them.
We are ready now as we have been
since last December. TO join in any con
structive move for the adjustment Of
this situation" !"

COLEMAN TALKS
ON FERTILIZER


At the last Agriculture Meeting at
Llano Colony, July 81. Comrade Geo.
D. Coleman made report Of the OPP
erations of the fertilizer plant, which
in spite Of many handicaps has scored
splendid results in the fields and gar.
dens Of the Colony. The comrades 5
contributions to the Colony's work
Of the highest value and is greatly ap-
preciated BY everyone. 1t has been de-
finitely ascertained that a certain crop
absorbs from the soil corresponding
quantity Of essential mineral ingredi-
ents, and unless this plant food is re-
stored to the soil and maintained to an
adequate nutriment content. the soil
will become progressively empoverish-
ed.
For instance: A crop Of corn. taking
both stalk and grain. will use forty
pounds of potash, Ia pounds Of So
da, 6.6 pounds of magnesia, 1876
pounds of phosphoric acid, and 1876
pounds of lime per ton. So we see
that agriculture is a manufacturing pro-
position that can be carried on contin-
uously only when plenty Of food is
constantly provided for the plant.
The potential fertility Of the soil
may be lost in three ways: first BY
Teaching. Whenever the railfaIl IS ex-
Icessive. or wherever water applied un-
der system Of irrigation exceeds the
capillary capacity Of the soil, there is
a loss of soluble plant food by teaching.
All the grayitational water that escapes
as run-off, or that is carried off thru
drains and bitches takes with it IN
solution valuable parts Of the soil
soluble cell salts. This is the reason
why the soils of arid and semi-arid re-
gions are SO much richer in these es-
sential plant elements than the soils
Of the humid regions which have been
leached Of their fertility BY centuries
Of rainfall As nitrates are readily
soluble, the nitrogen content of the soil
suffers more. Good drainage will as
sist in preserving the fertility Of the
nitrates and other soluble salts BY car
rying off the surplus water before it
has time to dissolve the valuable man
eral salts.

flourishing condition b years The

followed by Miss Nellie Kemp with two
delightful solos. Comrade Vim. H.
Burton gave striking defamation Of
Bill Nye's rendition Of Spartacus adj

piece Of work and was enjoyed by ev-
eryone. Little Miss Lorene Merrel sery-
ed with neat little recitation and did
nicely. Recitations were also given BY
Laura Synoground, Rachel Jacques, Ell
roy Norgard and David Lindsey-alI
well-done. A mandolin and guitar du-
ct by Comrades Pickett and Fischer
was a superior performance. and peo-
pie would have stayed all night to lis
ten TO them. Comrade Beavers sang
an original song in his weIl-trained
voice, highly appreciated. Mrs. Fra
ley contributed two solos in her highly
accomplished manner and contributed
much to the pleasure Of the evening.
Miss Rosa Matt appeared in wonder
full monologue. and surpassed all her
acting She is an imperson-
ator Of considerable ability. Harry Bell
and the Misses Vinita Thurman. Max
inc Gaddis, Beulah Gaddis and Rosa

The Colony Diary
Being Daily Report Of Colony Life at LIanO.

Wednesday, July 10. = Comrade
.Busick with his six-mule team, is on a
log-hauling trip to the Anacoco to-day.
The saw mill and shingle mill are both
busy converting his logs into lumber
and shingles. Matz, Nash. Scharrer,
Denver Cryer, Reeves and Fell are cut
ting up the hickory and oak tops max
ing them into wood, while Jacques, with
tractor and Gault. with team, are
busy getting the wood hauled over to
the big boiler. Tackett, Sid MerreI
and Nelson are reducing this material
to right length and size for Gilbert to
use in the boiler to keep our engines
on the job for industrial service and
the electric power. want you to know
this electric plant is giving us a won
derful service. 1t is hard to see how
we ever got along without it. Jones,
Busick, Darth. Dan Cryer and Lam
drum are setting in sweet potato vines
where there are missing places. and
Van is cultivating in the same field.
Comrade Lindsey and Mrs. Schuster
drove out to the Schuster place yester-
day and brot back melons, tomatoes
and corn for table use. To-day Lind
sey is getting together more Of this
material in order to get Mrs. Gaddis
and her crew to canning the surplus.
All right, Mrs. G. and Joe with the as
sistance Of some more of the women
and girls are ready for the fray. Say,
people. some Of your letters haven't
been answered for month, but we
will get to them some day. The la
dy reporter was away for five whole
days and she is in such a hole that she
can't seem TO pull out. Mrs. Norgard
and Rosa Matz are the busiest stenog
people on earth. but | have them just
swamped with work. Yes, Mrs. N.
worked all day Sunday, but have her
showed under just the same. This CAM
paign Of ours to completely finance

HARDING THREATENS COERCION
(By The Federated Press)

Washington. Promise Of armed
forces to help operators break the coal
strike and a yelled threat Of industrial
conscription were the outstanding fea-
lures Of President Harding's telegram
to the governors Of the u coal produc-
ing states, issued after operators and
miners had both declined his peace Of
fer.
The failure TO secure the accept
ance Of this proposal for a voluntary
adjustment left me. no other course but
to invite the mine operators 10 return
to their mines and resume activities, :
Harding wired to the governors.
/ trust you will find it consistent
10 second this invitation. if you have
not already done so, with the invitation
to all, miners and operators to resume
their work. This invitation should be
accompanied by such assurance of
maintained order and the protection Of

to everybody concerned.
! want to convey to you in this
message the assurance Of the prompt
and full support of the federal govern
ment whenever and wherever you find
your own agencies of law and order
inadequate to meet the situation .
The threat to draft the miners back
to work, presumably by declaration of
state of war, is contained in this SEN
tence:
"ThGs far there has been no chaI-
lenge of the right of workers to decline
employment, or the right Of the en-
ployers to hire as they elect"
John L. Lewis, president, U. M. W.
A.. is quoted as saying:

a hand. either with your money or

land is all in our possession-it is to
you we appeal. Can you think Of a
more worthy cause2 And have you a
more practical way of bringing your
ideal into an actual realization? No.
All right, join us and help us do the
thing in the right way. We can do
it. And we will! (Eh2-Dr. r. K. w.

Now new brickmason is here, and on
goes the building.
Bricks have been sold SO heavily
lately that a shortage Of brick is sp-
parent, so, instead of 'phoning up
for another 100000 brick, we gather
together a volunteer crew, and last
night until almost dark the big mon
ster at the brick yard was groaning
out bricks at a regular gait. 100000
brick will fill one kiln and about 20
1000 green ones are already reposing
in this kiln. The volunteer crew will
probably make enough this week to
complete the capacity. and then hurn-
ing will Be the next process.
Thus Llano will BUILD the first nu-
cleus Of the permanent cooperative
commonwealth which shall some day
be photographed and written about as
the beginning Of the worlds happiest
epoch.

ESPERANTO CHILD WONDER
SPEAKS TO LONDON CROWD

London. July 8. - A Hyde Park
crowd was surprised last night by hear
ing a child Of seven, Myfanwy Mary
Butler. speak fluently in Esperanto,
says the Daily News. The demonstra-
ton was organized by the British Es-
peranto Association, which held its am
nual congress the previous day
In reply TO questions from the aud
ience the child, wtho was the chief
speaker. and occupied the rostrum, told
how she had spent the Sunday. Il pre-
fer Esperanto 10 English" she said,
because it is easier 10 read" It was
stated that she had learned to read Es-
peranto at the age Of three.
Myfanwy' replies were translated in
to English BY M. Yelland, president Of
the London Esperanto club.

picion and jealousy from our hearts SO
we will not be greedy for profits; sus-
picion of the other fellow on the lob
or jealousy of each other and our lot.
We at Llano overcome this by equaI.
ownership and equal compensation as
the chief remedies Of these faults. I'm
til We are willing to live according to
the Golden Rule we will not get that
ideal condition. Are you ready for it,
dear readera If 50, you belong here
where you can practice your belief.
What good is your ideal if you don't
put it into a practical use and it is a
certainty that you can not be happy
or successful when living a life that is
opposed to your ideals. That is what
brought us to NewIlano and that is why
we are succeeding. Carl Hoover, Lot
tie Braun and Comrade Belohradsky
are making shingle blocks and then
turn them into shingles. Goldman and
Fred are making cots while Oakley
is still setting up new machines for
making sash and doors. Nash and
Stave have almost completed the roof
Of the new cafeteria. Rechsteiner and
Langridge have been laying floor ioists
at the roof garden and the new print
shop addition. Rechsteiner is also var
nishing the new show cases that were
made at the cabinet shop, and | want
you TO know they are beauties-made
of quarter-sawed nothing nicer
to be found. In fact, we have a crew
of wood workers that can't Be beat
for good workmanship. and We will.
soon turn them loose to manufacture
furniture of several kinds. The wood
cutters are still on the job and Jacques
and Waters are hauling it in. The
farmers are hoeing and cultivating and
the rest of our industries are running
as usual. Conlin and H. Bell go to
some neighboring towns to place our
bread and bakery goods Of all kinds
for sale in their stores. The psycholo-
gy meeting and the Esperanto class
were the evenings time-absorbers. One
speaker said (and truly, too) unless
we put our theories INTO practice they
