BY ROSA MATT:

Dear Comrades: 81 think, we are
going to have school that will sue
coed in being second to none. Of
course. it iy not anywhere near the
school we hope to make it. We have.
just begun and are getting along fine.
Our school is not like any Of the other
schools. Here we get practical educa-
ton along with the theoretical educa-
ton which is given in all schools. We
go to school, until ten o'clock in the
school house and then go to school at
the industries for the rest of the morn
ing. We have a chance to learn how
to grow our own food. make our own
clothes. and also many other useful
trades. We do not go to the indus
tries to be made slaves; we go to learn
the trade and also to be useful to hui
man society. We are all one family
here and would not think Of making
slaves of anyone. We expect soon to
build new school house. We chill
dren are going to have the chance to
help design the building. and we are
also going to help construct it. 1t is
not every child that has the chances
we have in this colony!

We are not a civilized nation so long
as we consider money-making the high
est purpose of life. Money is merely
means to an end. and the end, which
is human life. must be great and beau
hful enough to justify the means. A
life spent in drudgery, worry. humilia-
ton and misery does not Justify any
thing.-St. Louis Labor.

Dear Friends:-If ! could only tell

am quite sure you would get interest
ed. The Colony interests almost every
one. | am sure every child can tell
you something Of interest.
The children are brought up to have
various occupations. The children h
a great deal of fun. Every day they
play some kind of games, such as foot.
ball, base ball and others. Almost ev-
cry night, after school they go out to
the swimming pool and have great
time. There is plenty of room even
for the outsiders.

a one-minute chat this year, because |
didn't last year. So here goes.
| have been in the Colony three and
half years, and have been in the print
shop, nearly three years. But don't
know all there is to know yet. So Il
will stick until they get the electric

both job presses, set type, and do many
other jobs. In the electrical and gar
age, haven't done much. We haven't
had much electrical work yet, but from
now on we shall have more and shall
get chance to do more there. We
have little generator now that we
use to light up the hotel for the dances
on Saturday nights and | often fire
the boiler for that.
We are going to get plant big
enough so that the whole Colony can
have light; then it will be interesting
to work there-more interesting than

The patrolman. on the watch for
thieves, had Swallowed the negro near
" an hour as he walked back and
forth. Finally he decided the fellow
was a suspicious person and arrested
him. The negro made no protest and
went along quietly to the phone, but
as Klonwetter was in the act of pull
ing down the receiver to tell the desk
sergeant to send the patrol wagon, his
prisoner hit him with block of iron
on the head and. then began to beat
and kick him.
It was then that Joseph Di Angels,
II years old jumped upon the negro.
He is a small chap, and was flung
off easily, but he kept his feet and

FREAK TREE Is FOUND
GROWING ON CREDIT ISLAND
Queer Fruit 1t Bears Attracts Large
FIOcks of Birds.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, Dec. 20.-A
mystery tree was discovered on Credit
Island, and brought to the attention
Of the park board. It has bark
something like a blackberry tree, but
scientists here we'll acquainted with
that variety declared the Credit
Island tree was something different.
It wasn't ham tree or the long
sought tree of knowledge that Adam
IS supposed to have sampled. And as
Tor oak or box-elder or crab or per
silnmon or any Of the other kinds Of
trees. this new creation was unlike
any Of them.
The fruit is a pod about five inches
long, an inch thick, an inch in width,
OF a reddish brown color and very
hard. The interior of the pod is
greenish, with a dozen large iron
oolored roundish beans surrounded by
a sweetish green substance. This
EresDlsh substance attracted the
birds IN large flocls. They seemed
to crave the unusual food with an
excep tionally strong desire.

Emphasis on Impractical Char
aCter of German Loan Puts
Damper on Trading.
GENERAL MARKET STRONG
Rail Issues Move Upward on
Reports Showing Increase
in Tonnage Over 1921.
Rn az val Street Journal

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-Further en-
phasis laid upon the impractical
character of suggestions for an I'M
mediate German loan served to cur
tail the volume of dealings at the
opentng, but the general market dis
played a strong tone today
Pan American issues continued 10
lead the list. Steels were inspired by
advices from the West reporting
capacity bookings for mills in the Chi
cago district up to the end Of the
first quarter of 1928. Steel at 1868,
was at the best level attained on the
recovery from Mondays break.
Carriers We're influenced by figures
showing railroad tonnage for the
quarter ended Sept. 80 was $50 per
cent greater than 1921. A better
showing is expected for the final
quarter and representative stocks like
New York Central and Great North
ern preferred moved up on that
prospect.
The industrials displayed a strong
tone in the first half hour under the
lead of Baldwin, which reached a new
high on the move at 1914. Further
progress on the recovery was made
by most of the speculative leaders and
several specialties.
In connection with the strength OF
locomotive stocks, there is more talk
about prospective cash dividends than
stock dividends. On Jan. I, 1922,
American Locomotive reported $780,
464OO0 cash and investments and
Baldwin SIG, 663, 900. Baldwin has $780,
OOO. 900 common stock outstanding
and American locomotive S25,0O0,00O.
This is more cash than either COM
pany needs in its business and places
them both in a position to declare
large cash dividends on rising earn
iugs next year. Biggest bull argu-
rnent, however, is large business on
books and prospects for future new
business.
Industrials gathered strength around
II o'clock under the stimulus OF a
further outburst of strength in
Studebaker which ran up to new
high on the move at 1864. Steel
showed a net gain Of a point at
107ss.
Twenty active industrial stocks
Tuesday averaged 98.23, up SO per
cent; twenty active rails averaged
S3.9S, up % per cent.

NE WORK, Dec. 20.-A sluggish
tone. with the lesser stocks furnishing

Mammoth OIL was ffrmer than most OF
the others.
The market was still quiet and
easier in the middle Of the morning
trading. Standard Oil Of Indiana was
