as they can and | can see where car.
load Of wire will soon have to be bot in
order to help them finish their job. The
brick crew, Downs, Scharrer and w.
Beavers, are just about to finish the
roof garden job as far as brick work
is concerned. Langridge ST., Rech-
steiner. Lee, and Williams are starting
to build the stair way. 1t begins to
look as if bad roads are going to cheat
us out Of our logs for making the lum-
Der to finish the job by May Day. but
we haven't given it up yet. We will
hope for better roads. Carl Hoover
and D. Cryer are running the big PLAN
er, while Comrades Oakley, Stave.
Wobler and Ole are getting out window
and door frames and doors. Loutrel
and Sanders are repairing Fords, while
W. Langridge and Siemens are work
ing over the Fordson. King took the
Wallis tractor on a jaunt after wood
for the big boiler. Oh say! that fell
low Loutrel has pestered me SO much
lately that at lastgwe have ordered our
electric generator and soon our hous-

improvement and with $4,000 we can

not on the pay roll; they pay their
own expenses and the work they do is
all to the good Of the cause. He acts
as Colony reporter and such, and

books just to please him. Anyone who
wishes to do so can be useful and do
good work. even tho they don't make
much noise or get writ up" in the
Diary. Mr.. and Mrs. Smock moved
to the Lamb place to-day an dthe three
older children moved into the new bum

Rix and Won Scio are now building a

The psychological meeting met tonight
with a big attendance. People who
wish to see into 'the heart Of this Col
