They fail to see. that they are part OF
the whole ard must accept a part of
the responsibility. Yes. many will
leave, some will stay. those who leave
will be supplanted by better ones at
least others who do understand and will
lstay. Some Of those who go away now,
bitter and condemning will return prais-
ing you because you stayed and did
your duty They will be cured forever

they are founded right and travelling
on the right trail. Boost them. encour-
age them. Forget the gutter who only
thinks of filing his stomach or preach
ing his theories. Stick to the men and
women who dare to step ahead Of the
rest Of the world and show better sys-
TEN of industrial and social life for all
mankind. Stay with it, comrades. We
inLlano know you vii be maligned,
prosecuted by misguided comrades;
we know you will have a hard struggle
for years to come, but the game is
worth the price. The cheering mob or
the jeering mob means nothing. 1t is
those who are willing to give their all,
those who dare do right in spite of the
opposition, that will eventually get the
glimpse of the promised land, here on
earth. Then your burdens will be re-
placed by the joy Of rendering service
to others. It's a great cause you are
working for, and the only thing worth
working at. Go to it, say! Ye lady
reporter is with you heart and soul,
and so are the Llanoites every one, as
long as you are working for a better
human society And we will believe in
you until your motive is proven ito be
wrong. If you are right, you will win,

Friday, October I3.-The farm crew
is now cutting and heading the sorg-
hum cane from which we expect to
make some old-fashioned 'Iasses and
we will also make some sugar. Fred,
and Nash are extending the shingle mill
platform for the purpose of placing the
sorghum mill on the west side of the
big shed where it can be run by the
same engine that drives the saw mill
and shingle mill, and single making
machinery. A delay in our kiln of
brick has caused some of the boys some
extra work and delay to the burn
ing. The question is often asked,
who will do the dirty work under a
cooperative regime Well, these fell
lows at the brick kiln can answer that
Question. Mrs Daugherty and Mrs.
iConlin are in charge>of the colony ex-
Ihibit at the fair and it might sound
a little boastfdl to say it, but it is so.

Ialright, no one could get up such a
display as this who is not o. k" Few
of our neighbors and our friends out
side of the colony realize the extent of
our industrial activities and when wag-

wood, neck yokes, single trees, ali
kinds of handles, doors, screen doors,
window sash. hardwood flooring. and
practically any kind of wooden supplies

peanut milk, rice and other food ar
lticIes grown and manufactured; houses
built to live in. buildings for our in
dustries made from material furnished
by our own labor; who is to say to
what extent the colony may not grow
in another year? Well, we are doing
our best and that is all one could wish
us to do. But let me tell you this, we
have just started in our home pro-
ducts, and from now on we will de-
lvelop our industries more rapidly than
ever. As we grow larger we will be
able to develop a closer organization
in each industrial group and the
whole colony This was the big day
