year rolls by, | believe the little fellow
will be performing many new stunts
for the colonists. As it is, Mr.. Pea
nut furnishes us both milk and butter,
as well as candy and food in other
forms. Over at the shoe shop Com
rades 'Roede," Hall, and Kratchner
are making and repairing shoes and
harness. Sometime back we lost our
tanner, but Sid Merrel has the nerve,
and believe the knowledge, to give
us a good batch of leather. 1t is In
deed puzzle TO me that we have such
a hard time getting tanners and brick
masons. | am sure there are enough
of them out Of work to make a col
ony of their own. Oh WE'LL they will
come in time. and while they are on
the road, we shall drill one with our
jobs as usual. One of our old-time
boys came back to the Colony to-day.
Rudolph Swahson--and he says he is
back to stay. Rudolph had about
three years experience in the Colony,
which was enough to make him CO.
operator for the rest of his life. Also,
Mrs. Hartz from Montana and six
children arrived for an extended visit.
The children expect to stay here and
go to school. This will make large
group of students from the outside.
Our $40 per month plan is bound to
be great help to children and to our
movement. just wonder who knows
Of other children that can be helped to
a real education at Newllano? For
the last two days we kolony kids have
been harvesting kow peas for our in
dustrial work, and, believe me, we
have been having grand time. Just
think of about 30 children getting to-
gether to pick peas in a twenty-acre
lot, where each row across the field
fills sack Of seed. Well, we see sew
eral days ahead on this job yet. Com
rade Toble has decided to take charge
Of the dairy and he and his family are
moving out today. OF course, Bald
win and family will see them safely
and sanely launched upon the new
job before they make any moves or
changes. The dairy possibilities are
wonderful here, but. of course, it will
have to be built up, and we hope Com
rade Toble is the fellow to do it. The
big siIo was filled yesterday, and the
cutter moved over to the small one.
which will be filled with sweet pota-
to vines and sorghum in few days.
Darth, Cryer, Shut, Clappa, Landrum,
Lloyd, and others are now cutting the
sweet potato vines, preparing to dig
the potatoes in a few more days. The
psychology meeting was well-attended
tonight, but speakers had lots Of
breath, and only few had chance
to talk. Good? Of course it was
good-always is; and those who do
not attend these meetings are missing
half of the Joy Of Colony life.

Friday. Oct. II. = The timber feI-
lers, Merrel and Hinkley, Jones and
