ly as badly as any person one could
name at this time. Comrades Moline,
Beavers, Scharrer. and Chapel, with
several boys working with them, Dover
and Denver Cryer, Rudolph Swanson,
and Julius Goldman, are making the
new machinery building loom up in
excellent shape. When this building
is done, many Of our immediate prob
lens will be solved but pshaw! New
ones viii take their places and why
not2 We should feel sadly out Of
place if we had nothing new to strive
for and to conquer. And with such
people as we have here. land with the
cooperative spirit that is shown, our
obstacIe-surmounting is only real fun.
Gels. Nash, and Rechsteiner, with Cliff
ford and Elwood, are getting much Of
the foundation work Of the girls dor
mitory laid up. This will give very
neat home for the girls one that will
be something TO be proud of. San
ders is scraping the roof garden floor,
while Sanger is putting in windows
at the school houses and making ready
for cold weather. Our new cafeteria
system at the hotel is giving us anoth-
er step forward in feeding our people,
and when complete equipment is in
stalled. it will make the women's work
much easier job. If we now had an
electric dish washer installed, we could
truly say we were doing big things at
our "eat house.! | really believe
the Colony improves more rapidly than
most of us realize from month to
month. One thing is sure: we have
not the bad habit of going backwards.
At the hotel is also to be found real
treasury, such as is not to be had in
many small towns. We have library
and reading room containing more than
5000 volumes of good books. Com
rade Cuno and his better half are the
guardians over this treasure, and we
are glad to notice that they are proud
of their charge. Even people from our
Ineighboring town come to NewIlano to
use our library when they desire In
formation on certain subjects. Any
one who desires to send in books to be
placed in the hands of our readers is
assured in advance that we will be
pleased to add more good books to our
collection. Elmer Klahr has the sheep
ranch established at the. old poultry
yard and he and his family are domi-
ciled in the house John Linn used to
occupy. Comrade Rooney and Mrs.
Rooney are still living in the larger
house. Elmer thinks his place is the
ideal one for sheep. At the club
house the sex hygiene class was held
as usual, while at the school house
1.-The agriculture class held forth.
