| Sunday, April 80. This Is the
day before the big day and everybody
is preparing for the Big time. Many
visitors are coming in. Comrade Pit
man and Mrs. Benthall from Arkansas
MRS. Collins from St. Louis all arrived
on the pm. train from the north. The
West family drove in from Jennings in
an auto. Mrs. voorhees, and daughter,
Mrs. Hendricks, came in from CaIifor-
MIA. Comrade Otto Fischer, from Mon
tana, also arrived. All came to help
US celebrate our Colony birthday and
the International holiday. Everybody
lis hurrying and preparing for the
morrow and we look forward to a day
in which our neighbors can affiliate
with us. Comrade Wainwright, from
Jennings, and Comrade Grace, from
Crowley, have been surveying out our
street plans, preparing the way for
us to begin some more Of our brick
buildings. Mother West is again at
home" among US and vows to look at
no place for home but here. Well, she
is one Of our kids and | suppose will
have her way. And we are glad, too.
We had a ball game to-day and will
have another tomorrow; our boys are
becoming quite proficient in the ma
tional game Play binds people more
closely together and adds new. spirit
to life. After May Day and as soon
as we move the stump puIler, we are
going to, clean our ball diamond and
maks real athletic ground for both
young and old; and, as time goes on,
we should develop some exceptionally
fine athletes. Organized co-opera-
tive work is the best in the world and
the same will apply to our sports as
well. Comrade Martin and his must
clans are putting on the finishing touch
for the big program The mandolin
club, the orchestra, band and choral
!club all add greatly to our social plea

to all our members to take up any
musical instrument they may wish, no

are two things the lady reporter"
Igreatly desires; and as her salary is
gagged by her appetite (the latter be-
ing very smalD, she does not desire to
spend cash for anything that might be
lying loose around some good COM
rade's house unused. As our knowI-
edge in spelling and good English is
very limited and H. Buck is forced to
waste good time in figuring out the
spelling and meaning of words IN the
Original Diary write-up and, in order
to enHghten the dark recesses of cur
young stenographers' brains at the
same time, nice big dictionary for the
general office would be very accepta-
Ible. Yes, | have nerve enough to ask
for what | want. but | don't want any
one to deprive themselves to admins
ter to our wants. However, anything.
not in use is a waste of material if
some one else can use it. Now, hap
pen to be fortunate to be allowed to
teach our children some very impor-
liant things, and am very desirous of
obtaining Katherine Blackford's course
in Human Nature study. If you have

lrow them if possible or accept them
as a gift to the Colony. Mental sci
