not driven to learn The subjects are ar
ranged SO. as to draw out Of the child the
best that is in him. With, this in view, diver
sified industrial trades are placed at his dis
posal. He may thus gain an insight into a
world of endeavor and can choose that which
most nearly fits in with his natural ability.
The school has its own cafeteria now where
foods more especially adaptable to growing
children are prepared by the domestic scr
ence class. Music, singing, languages. bot
any, agriculture, Esperanto are among the
subjects offered to Llano's children; and
there are many opportunities for obtaining
a real education, in addition to those pro-
vided by the regular state course Of study,
making them thinking, alert, self-reIiant
group of future builders of cooperative
commonwealth
Equal wages are paid to men, women and
children. The theory Of this is that each
colonist owes to the community his best en-
deavors, whether he be learned lawyer, hus-
ky farmer, or little school child. They give
to the whole the best they can, and in re-
turn receive the bes; 80 ether can offer.
Hospital and doctor are provided when
sickness comes, and there are no charges for
such social services. Funerals are conducted
along the same lines
There is no need for insurance in the Col
ony for the dependents receive their support
just the same, even if the father be remove
ed from them.
Social life is made BY those who live to-
gether. The great objection to living on the
land is the isolation which accompanies it.
Here in Llano, the farmers and the industrial
workers live close to the center where dane
es. entertainments, picture shows, and all
manner Of good times can be had for the
making.
No rent is charged for the houses. and
any building can BE- used for meetings With
out cost.
Men work IN whatever industry they are
best fitted for. Sometimes they are moved
around to different work as is deemed neces-
sary. but the fact is conceded that each
worker works best at something that he likes
to do and has fitted himself for. But when
i is remembered that each. is working for the
whole, and the whole Is working for the in-

selects a general manager. He selects his
foremen for the various industries, and each
is selected carefully according to his ability
to do the work and to direct his men.
Each manager is given a free hand TO run
his department, always with the supervision
of the manager and board Of directors, in
order that his actions may not be contrary to
the collective welfare.
New industries are started from time to
time as necessity demands. The object Of
Llanos industries is to provide the Colony
with what it needs, rather than to make a
profit by selling the products. Production
for use is our slogan. Thus 10 make its own
food, clothing and shelter, to provide as far
as possible every convenience and comfort
IS the final object. To get as nearly as pos
sible to the source Of wealth, the Colony will
raise sheep for wool; cotton can be raised,
and the colonists can weave their own cloth
and make their clothing.
The Colony's timber lands are now fur
nishing hardwood and pine for its buildings,
It's brick plant makes the necessary brick and
can make thing, hollow tile, etc. for its own
homes.
The farm and gardens Of the Colony have
provided the tables with most of the good
things which nature offers.
Thus the three important problems are
easily solved.
The Colony now owns about 5000 acres
Of land. some of it of very fair character,
varying from bottom land to rolling land
and timber land. 1t intends TO purchase
total Of 10000 acres. because the coIonists
realize that the movement is destined to grow
to large proportions, several small commune
tiles probably will be settled on the land.
When the days work is done at 4:3O,
each colonist has an equal. opportunity to
improve himself along many lines, such as
music, vocal training, languages, science,
agriculture, orchestra work, dancing, and
other diversions. Many of these classes are
well attended, and all the coIonists realize
the fact that to keep progressive they must
advance in knowledge. A radical IN pol
tics and a conservative in everything else is
out of place in this community.
Llano's school system is as progressive as
the cooperative colony. The children are

INCE THE DA7s Of Jesus Christ. the
human heart has longed for the time

(N lNCE HE DAYS OF Jesus Christ, the
human heart has longed for the time
when no mans hand would be against
the hand Of his neighbor. time when each
mans interest would be identical with the
best interests of the whole community. The
progressive thinker. all down through the
march of civilization, has yearned for bet
ter state of society in which to live. For
this reason, more than any other, men and
women have left their native soils and taxi
en- up the duties and terrible hardships Of
pioneers, searching for the golden opportun-
ity.
From the East men go West; from the
West they go farther West; but the smeary
hand of exploitation has always followed
close behind, leaving them often drained to
the point Of poverty
To get away from the tithe-payng system
from rent, interest and profit-men have
struggled and fought and planned. Coloniz-
alton enterprises have come into being in
many parts of the world, having as their OBJ
ject the grouping of congenial workers in an
effort to eliminate these Objectionable phases

job Hartman founded cooperative COM
munity at Llano, California, on May lst,
1914. This community operated and pros
pered at this location until 1917, when the
water for irrigation purposes proved unequal
to the growth of the Colony, and new and
more resourceful location was found in Lou
isiana. where they are now located.
Founded on three great principles Of soci-
ology- equality Of opportunity, equality Of
income, and equality of ownership, the Llano
Colony has proven that men and women can
live together in harmony and prosper This
Colony is incorporated under the law as a
protection against INSCRIPTIONS persons and

Down to Bedrock for
Fundamental Truth

While il is true that the systems and
institutions Of society are the result If
growth. the efforts Of the live men and
women Of the world are the means BY
which they grow. Those who think in
advance Of their time are the regen-
orators Of mankind, and there never
was so favorable an opportunity as now
to initiate this beneficient work a
method for the emancipation Of the
people from error and superstition, and
, the reconstruction of society on basis
in conformity with the constitution Of
man.
Human conduct is the result of a
force the effect Of cause. That
force is sn ever present, conscious de-
sire to enjoy. 1t has its origin in love
Of self and Of others; and gives rise to
concern in his and others welfare.
The force that moves to human con-
duct is life. Its mode of action is as fol-
lows: Man pursues those interests that
he thinks best satisfy his desires and
promote his welfare present and fut-
ure, and seeks to avoid the evils which
he fears will give him pain or misery,
This is the general mode of action.
Some times however, the intensity
Of desire may, for the time being, over
ride all other considerations; for it is
universal law Of force that the strong
er dominates the weaker when oppos-
ing each other.
There is no specific purpose appar-
ent in the action of blind, unconscious
force; but in the action of CON-
SCIOUS force there is direct, speci-
fic purpose satisfaction OF desire
a result sought.
The accomplishment of results re-
quires means, which must be devised
by the intellect Since desire acts in.
specialties, specific means are needed
in each particular case. These require
judgment, discrimination, and deter
mination to act (wiIl) and freedom OF
choice when either Of several means
may be employed.
Innumerable notifications and linz
itations attend all cases Of action, which
demand consideration as they arise.
Success or failure depends on the OPP
portunities afforded, the accuracy OF
the judgment, the abundance and ia
cility Of resources, the promptness of
action, and on the force and persis-.
tence of determination.
The character of the desire deter
mines that Of the conduct to which it
gives rise. Like causes produce like
effects. If the desire is to murder, the
act (if desire is carriel into effecD is
murder. If. the desire is to rescue one
from drowning, the energies Of the res
cuer are directed to that end. There
is no moral element in intellect; it is
employed as readily and effectively IN
deeds Of evil as in deeds Of good. The
quality Of the stream is that of the

TANGLEFooT MONEY,
BONDS AND BANK CREDIT

4
The Feleral Reserve System set up
a system Of bank credits that envel-
oped the country in debt without put
ting the necessary corresponding
amount Of money into circulation to
help them pay out when paying time
came. The most Of the loans made
throughout The country were loans OF
bank credit. IF you went TO bank to
borrow, your loan was placed to your
Iredit al the bank and you issued your
checks against it. You saw very little
Of the money that your debt was sup
posed to represent. Ii was a system Of
bookkeeping. The debts were created,
but the money did not go into circula-
ton. When the Federal Reserve Sys-
TEN was ready to contract it SIMPLY
stopped the issuance of bank credit and
you could not borrow from your banks
any more. They had no bank credit
TO loan. 1t had been stopped by the.
system. There was about ten times as
large an amount IN debts due through
the Federal Reserve Syhtem as there
was money in circulation. 1t was only
a matter of short time after these
debts were called for payment until all
the money in the country was drawn
into the Federal Reserve Banks. and
still, the larger proportion of the debts
remained unpaid. The only way the
people could get the money with which
to pay the debts or to purchase the ne
cessities Of life was to sell their pro-
ducts OF their property. The banks
held the money and they owned the
debts. This gave them control of the
situation 50 that they could dictate the
prices the producers of the nation were
to receive for their labor and products.
They not only contracted the currency
but debated everything else the aver
age citizen had. Especially did they
deflate the farming class. Senator y.
F. Ladd.
The present monetary system is sla~
very system, and it is probably the
most insidiously devised system ever
contrived by human cunning.
Some thirty years ago, read q book
written by former member of Con-
gress, entitled 'The Purse and the
Sword" in which the writer described
the modern methods Of conquest and
ensIavement carried on by so-called
capital investments at home and
abroad.
In the foregoing statement of Sena-
tor E. F. Ladd we can see how billions
of money obligations are created with
out dollar Of money beinb placed in
actual circulation. And yet such obi
cations must be paid in money at the
demand of the creditor, and courts will
enforce such demands or enforce mort
gage foreclosures Of the property pledg-
ed for the security of the debt contract
ed.
That this money is trap to catch
the unwary and trim them to a finish
must be evident to anyone who can fig
ure at all. Even the ancients in the
so called childhood of the race realized

MIR. FOX AND MISS sTORK.


In the Great Forest there were
anxious creatures waiting the Kings
return. You remember Reddy Fox
was just starting to telf Jerry, the
saucy Jay. a story about his grand
father and the Stork. Well, this is
the story he told;
"Once upon a time said he, when
my grandfather was roaming the for
est he met q beautiful young creature
whose LII was Miss Stork. He
would pass her day after day as he

she lived, She told him she lived in
q tree near the lake. She vas very
fond of fishing. He thought to him
self-if che lives rear the lake l will
go and live there also for she seems
to be so friendly. So he went to the
lake where he's found a rock under

There was nothing to do but to
drive him ont and tell him he could
live in a hollow tree. You see Opos-
sum was living there for the purpose
OF watching for u chance to catch the
young and beautiful Stork but my
grandfather wouldn't do such a thing
as that"
You remember Opossum was in
hiding and listening to everything that
Red Fox said. He was mad and get
ting more, so all the time.
Zone day my grandfather thought
he would be kind to Miss Stork and
invite her TO dine with him which he
did and what do you think he had for
dinner? Well, he had soup and he

could find in his dining room. When
