MORE OF THE ROOF GAR
DEN FLOOR IN USE

Comrade Pickett asked last Wednes-
day evening for volunteers after sup
per to help polish another strip Of the
new floor in the roof garden. More
than thirty youngsters turned out and
such lot Of rubbing, skating, scrub
bing, pushing, pulling, sliding. gliding,
laughing, and yelling as there was!
Some put the polish on with brushes,
and, after it had dried few minutes.
the rest of us took shavings or rags
and rubbed it in. If one fellow got
to throwing shavings, he was taken
down and used for rags.
We finished about eight feet Of floor
and had ii ready to dance on; and on
Saturday night, we danced around the
big pillar in the center. 1t certainly is
fine to have lots of elbow room and
those who possess corn crops find it
still more pleasant
There is about SIX feet Of floor yet to
be laid.

SECOND STORY MAN
THRILLS AUDIENCE

Incidental changes Notwithstanding,
the Llano orchestra continues to sup
ply the audience at the theater with
superior music. of which the overture
on the night Of December 10th fur
nished ample proof. Recitations by our
Riddles, Reah Baldwin. Brooks Merrill,
and Evelyn I,obIe. were splendidIy
done, thanks to the skilled coaching Of
Mrs. Lindsey. A one act playlet, en-
titled The Second Story Man" with
Comrades George Cantrell, Robert
Lindsey, and Mrs. Conlin as actors, was
a well-done sketch and reflected great
credit upon them.
1t did not depend upon variation Of
scenery and action for its interest, and
yet it carried strong appeal and held
the absorbed attention of full house
from first TO last. It represented lit
tie life drama which appealed strong
ly to the sympathies Of progressive
working people, and. each one of the
actors entered intellectually into the
drama and played their respective parts
with spirit and understanding. Ii is
"a matter of doubt with us if any one
Of the reputed great star actors could
have SO wildly and naturally present
ed the character Of a broken-down
workingman thrown on scrappiIe by
the rapacious policies of souIIess cor
poration, as done by Comrade CantreIl.
In the cry Of just resentment against
the forces that dominate, ruthIessly ex-
plot and destroy. he rose from pathos
to eloquence with sudden fiery burst
Of emotion that thrilled the hearts Of
the audience.
Harry Bell, assisted by his jolly girls
Misses Myrtle Kemp, Loretta TobIe,
Maxine Gaddis, Tilda Hartz and Nellie
Toble favored the audience with some
fine singing, throwing in an encore for
good measure.
A finale by the orchestra closed a
most excellent evenings entertainment.

LLAN0'S AGRICULTURIsTS MEET

Comrade Lindsey, being still busy
with the Syrup boiling business, was
unable to be present with the agricul-
tural class Friday evening, December
s. Consequently the discussion was of
a general nature instead of being con-
fined to terracing.
1t has been observed since the be-
ginning of agriculture that if a field
be continuously planted to the same
Modern chemistry has shown that GER
crop, the yield will gradually decrease.
tain elements, such as nitrogen, pot
ash, and phosphorus, are necessary to
plant growth, that these elements are
present in the soil in varying proper
tons, and that every pound of plant
structure removed takes with it a per
cent of these essential elements. AS
one plant absorbs an excess of nitro
gen. another an excess of potash, and
another of phosphorus, it follows that
if any crop be grown continuously its
particular plant food will become ex-
hausted, unless measures be taken to
restore it to the soil. The rotation of
crops is also recommended for the
purpose Of preventing the exhaustion
of particular elements. and as in the
case of legumes to restore nitrogen to
the soil.

LLANo BOYS PROFIT BY DEFEAT

We have heard it said numerous
times that it takes some fad to appre-
ciate the good; SO does it take a de-
teat TO appreciate a victory.
Most Of the young people went up to
Leesville Sunday afternoon TO witness
two games played between Llano Tun-
iors and LeesviIle Juniors, and between
uano's and Leesville's Seniors. The
games were started about two o'clock
and lasted until four-thirty. Llano
was defeated in both games; but we
are manly losers and excellent obsery-
ers Of our faiIings. We know exactly
where our weakness lies and we shall
strengthen it.
Our boys are also sportsmen Of the
highest type. They played their parts
clearly and in manly manner, without
roGghness or i'll temper and took their
defeat bravely.

'IT'S A TRADE"

The Farmers Exchange proposition
is new game, mighty interesting and
mighty profitable too.
As one farmer described it. 1T is
like we did way back yonder. One
of us would butcher a beef, three
neighbors. would each take a quarter
and the man who butchered would
keep one for himself, then when any
of the other three butchered. the first
man would take quarter. We had
no use for money; we were never short
of anything; we were happier"
Il like the Farmers Exchange idea
in practice said L. L. Nelson of Simp-
son as he hauled away three wagon
loads of brick for which he had trad
ed syrup at something better than the
going price. Il need more brick and
I've got more syrup. Yo'aIl need any
more SYRUP" Bring in your syrup,
Nelson, and if its good stuff. we'll
trade you some of our good brick, ;"
said the Exchange man.

THE LAW OF LIFE

Mr.. Pickett opened his sex hygiene
class Friday evening with little talk
on the purpose of such a class in the
Colony. We have over hundred
children from few days old to young
men and women. We have boys and
girls Of all ages, and in fact some of
these married folks seem to think they
are still boys and girls, for they romp
and play with US, enjoying themselves
fully as much as we do. The child
rem work, play and eat together, en-
joying life harmoniously as one fami-
ly, and we love each other as brothers
and sisters. Some of us have parents
here, some have parents in distant
states and others are SO unfortunate
as to have no parents at all. but each
and every one Of US help to make life
happy Where can you find a'greater
happiness and more true enjoyment
than in a group Nof youngsters whom
you know are your brothers and sis
tiers? Life would be desolate jungle
were it not for the boisterous shouts of
the children and LIano is bubbling
over with their merriment.
But along with our play and our
work and our eating, we must learn a
few lessons and one of these is the
care Of our bodies. We must learn
our physical makeup, how to exer-
else properly. to eat for the benefit of
our digestive system and not for our
taste, and above all. we must learn the
great and beautiful lesson Of life and
its reproduction. Doctors, teachers,
fathers and mothers have neglected
teaching that most of all necessary
lesson to the rising generations.
There is nothing unclean about the
human body at birth and it is only
our own ignorance and carelessness
that makes us inhuman. Why should
Gods most sacred law be barred from
the young, wholesome, alert mind and
left to be carried by foul mouths in the
form Of Filthy story? Nine children
out of every ten in the world learn the
law of reproduction of life through an
ignorant boy or girl. The young mind
grasps it, because even at that ii is in
teresting. In the childish mind is
painted the most sacred of all pictures
in coIors of Jet black and muddy
white. Untruths which lead the VIC
tim to destructive habits and ruin his
or her life forever. Divorce suits,
murders, and suicides abound because
father and mother failed to tell their
boys and girls the beautiful story of
life in plain English while they were
Young and clean, but left them to find
ii out through the foul mouth Of ignor-
associates.
We in NewlIano are too proud Of our
bows and girls to let them becme ig-
norant and unclean. Our boys and
girls, every one of them, are as clean
bodied and wholesome-minded as they
were when God sent them into the
world; and, thru understanding of ma
Eural laws, We shall stay that way. No
power on earth could lead our young
minds to filthy temptations. We are
being told the beautiful story in plain
words, and it is building clean, sweet
characters.

John Dewey, professor at Columbia
University, expresses the idea that plu-
tocracy has more to fear from scien-
tific research than from labor radicals.
And that is quite likely when we learn
that British scientist. using the pow
ef of the sun. makes sugar from soda
water; and Einstein declares that Ger
man scientists have solved the problem
of cheaply producing hydrogen gas.
IF that is true. the problem of cheap
fuel will be solved for aeons to come.
Obtaining nitrogen from the air and
hydrogen at small expense will increase
the worlds wealth to an extent at pre-
sent beyond calculation.
