cial system or is it assisting capitalists
Ito keep up capitalism? am sure that
those who are capitalistic in their be-
lief will not help us to build up our
new system: then why should we lend
our cash and energy to keep their boat
,'afloat and not assist our ownp Think
lit over, and get right with yourself and
1.-THE world in general. Wood-cutting
and hauling, shocking of peanuts, saw
mill work and the burning Of the brick
are the principal occupations of to-
Iday among the men folks. Of course,
you know, the women are always busy
at the sewing room, eating places and
at the laundry. as well as the other
places where the women work. This
is busy hive of cooperative bees,
where drones are not wanted. We do
not give them the same treatment the
honey bees do their drones. Here
they sting themselves. The foIk-danc-
ing class and the psychology meeting
were held as usual tonight.

Friday, Sept. y. = Lee, Landrum,
Darth, Denver and Dan Cryer, Merrel,
and Clappa are all getting wood to-
day and Van and Waters are hauling.
Tomorrow the crew will be cut down:
we expect to run the brick machine
from daylight until dark. Kemp, Shut
and Lloyd finished shocking peanuts
this morning; and after dinner Kemp
plowed the clay, while Ole watered it
for the purpose of tempering it for the
brick run. Comrade Schuster is weld
ing some machinery parts to the mud
eater and at leisure times is helping
Won Scio and Wurfer repair wagons
and do general blacksmithing. We now
have the best crew in these two shops
we have ever had. In fact, the gener-
al trend of the colony industries has
always been upward to the better SER
vice and workmanship. Mrs. Schuster
has adopted the lady reporters chick
ems, and now has an incubator and sew
eral hens Matching eggs. Gee. I'm glad
there are other hens on the place be-
sides me! Joe Gaddis and the store
crew are in the peanut butter business
to-day, for sure, and this pm. they
pressed the children into service helping
prepare the peanuts for the grinder.
About IS youngsters responded, and
some of the women also volunteered
to help. We are now making an excel
lent quality of peanut butter. VIII
Ewell is alone in the bake shop, except
ing the help Of mornings from Charles
Miller. We recently abandoned the
commercial bakery, to put our energy
to developing industries that use Elano
products. The wood-workers, Fred"
Goldman, Matt and Slave, will soon be
making speciality of Colony furniture.
They are occasionally making some
very fine and useful articles. We also
expect to develop the matchmaking
business. using hickory for most Of this
work. Loutrel and c. Shut are install
ing lights down near the lower regions
of the Colony live in the last house,

the "Co-operator" are coming pretty
regularly, and Mrs. GauIt is on the sub
