BRICK LAYERS, STUDENTS Be
GIN WORK ON MACHINE BLDG

Tuesday, work started on the long
talked-of machine shop and garage, the
foundation for which was laid several
months ago. A force of two brick lay
ers, with several students who expect
to master the trade, are now at work,
and the walls should speedily go up.
The building is planned for two
stories. with roof garden surmount-
ing the top, making it virtually three
story building. 1t fronts on the new
highway, the main western thorough
fare through the state, extending north
and south.
An oil and service station will be in
front. with garage inside the build
ing. Display windows and show room
will be part of the front of the build
ing. The wagon-makers and the black
smiths and the machine shop and
garage will all be on the lower floor.
The second and third floors will be
used for various purposes. 1t is pos
sible that the roof garden may be
pressed into service as a mems dormi-
tory for a time.
This is the third of the permanent
buildings on the schedule. The roof
garden on the concrete potato dryers.
now about finished. is number one.
1t is really a very substantial and at
tractive building. and the term roof
garden" is in a sense misleading, as it
conveys to many the idea of imper-
manence and an open building. The
fact is that tre second story is very
substantial and welI-roofed, making a
hall admirably Suited to
dances and general gatherings. The
Colony theater is Immediately under
the southern end Of it.
The second permanent building is
the printshop, which is concrete on the
first story, with brick and frame form
ing the second story. The second story
of this is also nearing completion.

doing, but you did not see what we
were collectively doing and the OBJ
ject we have in view. For instance,
Comrade Lindsey. who has charge Of
the agricultural department. and his
crew of farmers, with the gardeners,
fruit growers. ETC., arc doing a coop
erative deed you did not get hold of.
This year we raised about 20 acres of
cane to be made into syrup; 35 acres
of peanuts to be made into milk, pea
nut butter. candy, and other foods;
IS acres of sweet potatoes, some corn,
sorghum, and continuous garden
spot of about 40 acres; a dairy Of
nearly SO cows; large herd of hogs,
goats and sheep. All this is being done
for the purpose Of furnishing food for
the workers who are here building this
movement. Of course, we are forced
to sell some of this food in order to
help finance the whole proposition. IF
we were not forced to do this, we
should use our surplus in feeding oth-
ers who want to join us and work out
the big scheme. This year andsevery
year after this, we want to increase
our dairy herd, getting more milk. but
ter, cheese, and other dairy products
for food use, not to make DOLLARS,
BUT FOOD. We expect to clear at
least 200 acres more Of land for pea
nuts alone this winter-we would make
it 300 acres if we could. More land
for sweet potatoes, corn, velvet beans,
and all other crops that make food for
man and beast. More hogs, beef cat
tie, goats and sheep will be raised, and
we desire to establish large poultry
department that will supply other food
needs. We have no desire to cut down
work and decrease production; we
want to continue to increase production
in order to be able to allow others to
come here and break bread with us;
others who are interested in the same
movement with US. We don't want peo-
pie to come who are just interested in
filling their stomachs. We want peo-
pie who are willing to assist us in
showing the world aSbetter way to pro-
duce food and consume it to the best
interest of the human animal. We can
have to eat anything we shall raise. We
can have just as much as we desire, if
we grow it, and we want people to
come who are interested in growing

Among dispatches here it is freely
admitted that Turkey, reborn from the

her independence of the western pow
ers, is Russia S answer to the policy OF
isolation imposed upon the Slavs since
1917. Russian arms, ammunition, in
spiration, and strategy produced the
Turkish comeback, and the demands
