our print-shop gang, and they are anx-
ious to move into the new quarters
where they will have more room. They
also need more expert helpers in order
TO get out all the work that is put up
on them. Gladys Belcher is again IN
the candy shop, and Llano sweets vii

rade Gooing came back to our midsi

pleased with our late progress. A ship

never been given a chance to blossom
and bear fruit; but we are again going
to be the PAYERS of the way. William
@ Post, Of California, is the donator
Of two nice boxes Of dried fruit and
nuts for Xmas cheer, and it IS useless
to say these things are much appre-
ciated. We are now reaching the
stage in our development where PEG
pie are accepting responsibility; and
trees, seeds, roots, ETC., sent in will be
given every opportunity to develop and
multiply. The good things to eat, es-
pecially fruit. are most enjoyed. These
things are bread cast upon the water
which will surely return MANIFOLD

If it should rain the floor can be laid
and the girls move in. Oh! Joy for
theml Pete Kemp is blowing the cane
stubble in the east bottom field and it
will be finished in couple of days if
it doesn't rain. John Hoover is now
building a new fence around the kim
dergarten yard and may be the mules
will now stay out of my house at
night. You see | am kindergartener
Of nights and the children, cats. and
mules all roost with me when the
fence is down. A new equipment is
now going into our machine shop-a
small lathe and re-boring machine.
These will make Belcher and jacques
happy for a while. but they say they
need a larger lathe. Gee! these fell
lows want more machines than ever
saw before. But when tiny are sat
isfied. we will surely have fine ma
chine shop and then as we move into
the new building. we will all rejoice
