Saturday. April u. The two
Fordsons are still doing double shift
only they are both working out al the
newly-cIeared fields; the Wallis is also
on the hauling job and it is expected
to finish most Of the land preparing in
THE next two or three days. The school
kiddoos went to the field and picked up
roots and sticks from the newly-plow-
ed ground, and the discs will soon have
the land ready for planting. Sorghum
and sweet potatoes and peanuts will
be planted at this part Of the place and
some Of the fellows are looking forward
Ito a great melon crop also. Ole and
Sanders returned from the rice field to-
day, leaving Reeves to help pump wa
ter and repair the machines. Van and
Waters are helping TO plant the rice
and will Be gone for about two more
weeks. Comrade Patton will garden for
the group and will stay there all sum
finer. Gallo returned home and he and
some one else will go down to fire the
boilers, run the engine and pump this
summer; but this Job will not open up
for at least two weeks. The children
held their usual picnic at the pool and
after their mornings work, lunch and
good swim, we returned to the Col
ony and helped at the garden and did
other useful things the rest of the af-
ternoon. As soon as the regular school
term is over we will organize the school
and work SO thai the pupils will have
four hours indoor study and work and
four hours in the industrial work. We
find this system to be excellent and
great source Of enjoyment to the pu-
Ipils and adds efficiency to our endea-
vors. As soon as we can get a brick
mason to instruct hem. we will get out
plans and allow the children to begin
to build their own brick school house.
The dancing school was held as usual
at 1870 and at $50 the dance began.
with very large attendance of colon
lists and visitors. The regular dance. or
chestra is relieved by the Junior or
chestra and Comrade Newman; this.
offers rest to the old-timers and adds
variety to our evenings music.

Sunday, April %. 1t is very en-
couraging to the lady reporter" to see
the nice comments that pour in from
the outside regarding the Diary" and
its good work. 1t is enough to turn
the head Of young giddy girl (like
yours truly; but one thing prevents:
Often the hours Of toll put in on this
job, using the dictionary, several gram
mars Of both native and foreign extrac-
ton, and being translated and edited
through several hands. it comes out a
passabIe job; but we lady knows
these things and doesn't dare get the
swelled head, because some one might
squeel and tell the true inwardness of
the thusness. Again. it is not with any
hopes of becoming a scribe that these
chronicles are made. 1t is to inform
you dear readers of part of our daily
life and progress, that you may know
that cooperation is being made a sue
cess, here in the U. S.A. Do | wish to
entertain you? Not for one minute;
i am too selfish for that | want you
10 know what we are doing, what we
need and to get you to help where.
help is needed to carry out our ideals.
Sometimes little journeys are made IN
to our philosophy and theories; they
are made to let you know the test each
of you must go thru to reach the point
in our movement that weshaye reached.
Sometimes, when warnings are given
through the diary, Of possible pitfalls,
