THE MIGHTIER POWER

Ye winter winds, so rude and stern,
That piece so chill,
Blow on. and work your bitter will;
Your rudeness | can lightly spurn,
For am sterner still.
Thou summer sun, that art so fierce
To burn and thrill,
Beat down upon me as you will;
My courage you may never pierce,
Since it is fiercer still,
Ye powers of wrong, though doubly
strong
To do me i'll,
Strive as you may to work your will;
When all your darkest legions throng,
Then am stronger still.
For greater powers to me inclined
In sweet good will,
Make me might no strength can kill;
All foes are mine to break and bind,
In being stronger still.

practiced right now in every town, city,
or community, and it will be success :.
but it must be the pure brand "a real

capitalism is getting. As you serve, SO
shall you reap and predict full

Tuesday, May 10. = Well, to-mor-
row is the 18th, the day our land pay
ment should be made and, unless some
thing unforeseen happens. we will, for
the first time in two and half years,
have failed to meet our obligations on
time. But the company from whom
we are buying has lots of confidence
in US and hopes for our success; so
to make it easier, they have agreed tc
let us pay for 1000 acres at time and
extend our time little further. Now,
comrades, you who look forward to our
success as your beacon light; you who
expect to come to join us later; you
who believe that complete cooperation
is the real savious of our class-put
your shoulder to the wheel and push
as hard as you can. There is no doubt
in my mind whatever. but that we will
raise the whole amount of $l25,000
this year and completely finance this
whole place. But shove your money
in now and let us pay off on the land
and continue our building program to
the limit. To-day we are being offer
ed great inducements to start other
colonies, but there is no one to handle
them. The greatest education any one
can get to-day is to learn how to con-
duct a cooperative colony. 1t is a
different education from anything you
have ever had. Oh, yes! | know you
have. read and studied theories; but
there is little to it: you are not up
against A THING, but are dealing
with LIVE HUMAN BEINGS, no two
tof whom think or act alike. The great

cause it tells you a real, constructive
way to cure the economic and social
ILLS of the world. The band practice
and agricultural meeting completed

colonists and we are now anxious to
have some one start mechanical

to add an extra day to each week iii

become sufficiently interested in this
movement to study it from sight, here

hesitate to put your dollars with ours

Ico-operators into active service. We
have had to live down the cry that CO.
operative colonies have always failed

safe and pioneering our success, We
have had to refuse the labor power of

BERLIN. Dec. 2s.-The appeal for
American arbitration OF the -repara,
tions dispute between Germany and
the allied powers was made BY Ger,
nah financial and business interests
to the United States Chamber Of
Commerce at New York. 1t was
learned here tonight from a. high
authoritative source. There has
been no official action to date.
Neither the German government nor
the American government has had
any formal communication upon the
subject.
This is the "inside story" of the
proposal for American participation
which has been the subject Of the
most sensational rumors in London.
Paris, Berlin. New York and Wash
ington during the last week.
German officials declared that the
German government has not made
and does not intend to make any
proposals to the United States to &C.
as arbiter and settle definitely the
indemnity which the allied powers
may expect from Germany.
The only way Germony could
make such an appeal is through
Alanzsn B. Hougton, the American
Ambassador to Germany. or through
DIR. Otto Wiedfeldt, the German Am
bassador to the United States.
Any other way would be a rever'
sion to the old-time method OF

Following the arrest at Speaker

charged With the murder Of Watt

who were mysesrf6usly spirited
away last August by a band Of

thrilling climax to the series Of
sensational events leading up to

two missing men in the waters of

JAIL Is GUARDED.
As soon as Burnett was taken into
custody on warrant issued by

taken into Bastrop, the county seat,
and placed in Jail. One hundred and
fifty members of the Louisiana ma

to release Burnett.

full charge of the investigation at
Mer Rouge. and. according to the
belief of townspeople and according
to forecasts Of Federal and State
officials. the arrest Of Burnett IL
only a forerunner to a wholesale
issuance of warrants. The social
and financial standing of these
men. 1t was freely predicted. would
startle the entire State.
Events moved swiftly today fol.

bodies in Lake La Fourche.
1t was learned that additional
State guardsmen were en- route to

Suddenly there came word that

and that they had pitched their

Shortly after this information had
