Being Daily Report Of Colony Life at Llano.

Wednesday, May 24. Who would
think that Cantrell. Buck, Newman and
sGleeser would show symptoms of the
''green-eyed monster" of Jealousy? Uh,
hui they did. just because the big
potato kiln building has roof garden
over it, these fellows have found rea-
sons why their building (Which is con-
crete) should have a new roof gar
den, too. Well, their shop is 80 by 40
feet, and to-day Rechsteiner and Lam
gridge are starting to build them an
other story on top, where the linotype
machines and type will all be kept, CIV
ing more room for the other work be-
low. All George wants now is another
first-class printer, a pressman, an ed
itor for the magazine and then he will
let me alone for a week at least.
Downs and Chappell are putting down
the foundation for the new machinery
building. w. Beavers, Denver Cryer.
and Dan Cryer are hauling brick bats
and sand, while some Of the boys are
helping them along. Soon brick-lay-
ing will begin on this big job and we
will all be glad. Nash and Matt are
repairing roofs to-day and we look foz-
ward TO the time when this loss of time
will be swallowed up with new build
ings. Loutrel and his gang Of boys are
making our electric line stretch over
the Colony by leaps and bounds. Very
soon we will have lights in all our
homes. Oh boyl Gilbert started to
work this morning at the power house.
He begins to think no man will have
time to be dissatisfied. Bill looks
good to us and he seems to think this
IS a good enough homeifor him. so we
are all satisfied. Jennie and Walter
Conlin are getting settled in their new
home where Minnie Pickett used to
live. Comrade Pugh from Monroe ar
rived last night for few days visit.
This is his second visit and, needless

The whole world seems 10 Be run
ning into blind alley. Nations are So
deeply in debt that the interest alone
is more than can be met; and the most
serious thing Of it all is that the larger
part Of this indebtedness was incurred
by the World War. To talk about an
other war under such circumstances or
TO spend money in preparation for an
other war. seems not only absurd, but
criminal.

SUPERB INSTRUMENTAL
AND VOCAL MUSIC

a fine extemporary program was
rendered Sunday at our hotel BY the
musical and literary talent Of the Col
ony. The Junior Orchestra supplied
splendid music and was cheered 10 the
echo.
Comrade jacques volunteered with a
defamation Of strong dramatic fervor
and encored with humorous rendition
that aroused the risibles Of the sedate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gaddis, accompanied
on the piano by Miss Beulah Gaddis,
sang duet with their well-schooled
and finely-lnodulated voices that struck
a responsive chord in every heart.
Comrade George Matz contributed
several charming tunes on the accor-
deon, which always please.
Prof, Martin first sang a baritone so-
10 Of wondrous beauty, accompanied
by Miss Beulah Gaddis, and then play
ed violin solo, accompanied by Mrs.
Gaddis. A grand treat. indeed. Com-
rade Harry Bell rendered a great old
Scottish song in his emphatic and vivid
manner, earning the weIl-deserved plau-
dts of the audience. A finale from the
orchestra brought the highly creditable
entertainment to fitting close.

farm is worth while and see just what
is ding there. In the field north Of
the Ford ranch is Pete Kemp with -four
mules and gang plow and Comrade
Lee with two mule team, blowing,
while Darth with Fordson, is commit
ting the same crime. and Siemens with
| the other Fordson is discing. The
south side of this field is ALREADY plan
/ ted to sorghum, which is up, in nice
shape. The rest Of it will be planted
TO peanuts in few days. Fred Ander-
son is still extracting stumps on this
place and Phillips is cook for the bunch
that eats there. Over in the field west
of the Ford ranch we have several
acres Of corn anl velvet beans growing
and about ten acres of sweet potatoes
planted. Here we. find Lloyd. Fall,
Jones and Marchick planting more
sweet potatoes, assisted by the children.
The process might interest you. Com
rade Busick with shovel plow opens
up furrow. Sharrer follows this with
a wooden contriyance that fills up the
furrow and also makes ridges Of pull
verized dirt. The children walk along
and drop sweet potato plants about l5
inches apart on this ridge. Then the
men take forked stick about three
feet long and shove the root end Of
the plant into the soft dirt, and as they
pass on to the next plant they set the
foot close enough to the newly-planted
vine to press the dirt tightly around
the plant and the job is done. Mes

There is this to be said Of Lloyd
George at the Genoa conference. that
had his council prevailed, some sort
Of an agreement might have been at
tanned. He is aware Of the fact that
the demands Of Russia are perfectly
legitimate. But France, although she
may know this to be true, could not or
would moi admit Of it. Had Russia, on
the other hand. accepted The demands
Of the Allies. it would be equivalent
to an acknowledgement that the revol-
ution had proved failure.

Llano, is now being outrivalIed IN the
mushroom-like growth everywhere.
Building IS now going On as follows:

crete shop is now having its space dou-

garten room for a cafeteria. but this
has proved unsatisfactory to the little
tots department, and unsuited for the
eating and cooking Of meals. Nov, The
erection Of new temporary wooden
building is under way. and will be COM
.pleted in quick time. II has been loca-
ted under the trees in the park south
of the school building and will have d
dining room 40 feet by 20 feet, and

About so children eat at their cafeter-
ia, where food especially beneficial fol-
young people IS prepared BY their help
and in connection with the domestic
science class.
New homes. temporary ones Of
course, are also springing up in hidden
places, where a few weeks ago The
weeds were blooming; now there stand
half dozen little houses. And more
of them will be erected to house the
incoming families.
AT the office, at the store, every-
where, one can see signs Of the growth.
