for sale. Kemp is busy every day cuT-
tivating or planting on the farm or
in the orchard. Besides all these ac-
tivities the regular industries are run
ming as usual, Don't you think we are
a busy people2 And yet all these
works could be doubled, trebled, anil
multiplied to an unlimited extent as
other colonists come to join us. The
psychological meeting was we'll attend
ed, very few coIonists failing to at
tend. 1t is just as important for col
onists to attend Colony meetings and
social functions as it is to eat The
brain must be fed and exercised; the
social side of life developed as we'll as
the muscles of the body kept strong.

Friday. Aug. 4. - We were all sor-
ry to see Comrade Klahr go away; but
as he promises to return in October with
his brothers, sisters and families, with
sheep, goats, mules and move here to
stay, we can spare him from now un-
til then. Comrade Klahr sees the point
and is not afraid to act upon his con-
victions, He says: when we come,
we shall put everything we have into
the Colony; it will be our future home.
| know it will continue to succeed, and
it is the only right way to live; and we
are coming to put in all we have, re-
CARELESS of value and live the rest OF
our lives as real co-operators." He is
right; if you wish to cooperate, you
can not do it on the half-and-half
style. Either you do or you don't CO.
operate, and it is all up to you. Com
rade Kahr and his whole family will
make a big addition to our community
in co-operators and in assets. He has
looked us over and is more than salts
fled with what he saw and will be
back soon. And we are well satisfied
to accept him as member. If the
rest of his family have the same spirit
and motives in joining, we will be again
well-replenished from New Mexico.
Come look us over and let us meet you
and you will then know what we are
and what we are doing to make the
world better place to live in. Mrs.
Wurfer returned from New Orleans
and reports Ccmrade Wurfer much bet
tef and anxious to get back home and
to work. Comrade Martin is now lin

to move her domestic science class IN
to the new cafeteria, while Mrs. Lind
sey and Robert. assisted by Comrade
Mcdonald and H. Buck continue to
keep the summer school going. By
some unforeseen magic have been sue
cessful in inveigling Mrs. Schuster to
Sdopt my family of chickens, SO | am
lin great hopes that from now on |
shall not have to escort my family of
hens out of my kitchen, sitting room,
and bed each night in order to find
place to write the Diary and rest
my bones at night. Now, don't talk too
loud-T have lived with these>eld hens
for nearly three years and they all
ways run when they hear big growing
