best fitted for. Sometimes they are moved
around to different work as is deemed neces-
sary, but the fact is conceded that each
worker works best at something that he likes
to do and has fitted himself for. But when
it is remembered that each is working for the
whole, and the whole is working for the in.
divldual, no one refuses to do what IS allotted
to him
Women all find lots Of work 10 do. They
feed the men at the hotel, wash and iron for
them at the laundry, make dresses and over
alls and shirts at the sewing department, at
tend store. office, ETC.. wherever their SER
vices can be utilized TO best advantage.
there are no parasists at Llano. Even
mcapacltated, and the aged can sometimes
help. They assemble crates, wrap papers.
attend machines. etc.
On special occasions such as harvesting.
or planting, all the school children are glad
to go TO the fields and help. 1t is the COM
mon food store and all will help to save
the harvest. Men, women, and children will
forsake their regular work to help where they
can.
ALiS Is because they are actuated by an
ideal. They believe in cooperation with
each other. Some co-operators think COOP
Grafton means that others have to cooperate
with them, that their lot may be bestered,
Llano co-operators realize that each must
sacrifice their personal interests and amaIea-
mate with the COLLECTIVELY. This is the verv
ideal which has made Llano signal success
in the cooperative field, when other IKE
communities have disintegrated.

selects general manager. He selects his
foremen for the various industries, and each
is selected carefully according to his ability
to do the work and to direct his men.
Each manager is given free hand to run
his department, always with the supervision
of the manager and board of directors, in
order that his actions may not be contrary to
the collective welfare.
New industries are started from time to
time as necessity demands. The object of
Llano's industries is to provide the Colony
with what it needs. rather than to make
profit by selling the products. Production
for use is our slogan. Thus to make its own
food, clothing and shelter, to provide as far
as possible every convenience and comfort
is the final object. To get as nearly as pos
sible to the source of wealth. the Colony will
raise sheep for wool; cotton can be raised,
and the colonists can weave their own cloth
and make their clothing.
The CoIony's timber lands are now fur
nishing hardwood and pine for its buildings,
its brick plant makes the necessary brick and
can make tiling, hollow, tile. ETC., for its own
homes
The farm and gardens Of the Colony have
provided the tables with most of the good
things which nature offers.
Thus the three important problems are
easily solved.
Work is done as much as possible by ma
chinery. eliminating heavy drudgery. and the
more machinery used the less the labor is.
Many tractors are used on the farm and in
logging operations for hauling, and for land
clearing.
The Colony now owns about 5000 acres
of land, some of it of very fair character,
varying from bottom land to rolling land
and timber land. 1t intends to purchase
total of 10000 acres, because the colonists
realize that the movement is destined to grow
to large proportions. several small commune
tiles probably will be settled on the land.
When the days work is done at 4:30,
each colonist has an equal opportunity to
improve himself along many lines, such as
music. vocal training languages, science,
agriculture, orchestra work. dancing, and
other diversions. Many of these classes are

we'll attended, and all the coIonists realize
the fact that to keep progressive they must
advance in knowledge. A radical in poll
itics and conservative in everything else is
ont nf Mace in this community.
Lano's school system is as progressive as
the cooperative colony. The children are
not driven to learn. The subjects are ar
ranged SO as to draw out of the child the
best that is in him. With this in view, diver
sified industrial trades are placed at his dis
posal. He may thus gain an insight into a
world of endeavor and can choose that which
most nearly fits in with his natural ability.
The school has It's own cafeteria now. where
foods more especially adaptable to growing
children are prepared by the domestic sci
ence class. Music. singing, languages, bot
any, agriculture, Esperanto, are among the
subjects offered to Lano's children; and
there are many opportunities for obtaining
a real education, in addition to those pro-
vided by the regular state course of study,
making them thinking, alert, self-reliant
group of future builders of cooperative
commonwealth.
Equal wages are paid to men, women and
SlllSlSnS TIC lIlCoIy Vi llliS Is THAT edCll
colonist owes to the community his best en-
beavers, whether he be learned lawyer, hus-
ky farmer, or little school child. They give
to the whole the best they can, and in re-
turn receive the best each other can offer.
Hospital and doctor are provided when
sickness comes, and there are no charges for
such social services. Funerals are conducted
alone the same lines.
There is no need for insurance in the Col
ony for the dependents receive their support
just the same. even if the father be remoy-
ed from them.
Social life is made by those who live to-
gether. The great objection to living on the
land is the isolation which accompanies it.
Here in Lano the farmers and the industrial
workers live close to the center where dane
les. entertainments. picture shows, and all
manner of good times can be had for the
making.
No rent is charged for the houses, and
any building can be used for meetings with
out cost.
Men work in whatever industry they are

AND AMERICA AROUSED
JAPAN FROM ITS SOMNOLENCE
(Bv The federated PrsssN

Sydney, N. S. W.-Exclusive dis
patches from the Far East received by
the Australian bureau of the Fedora
ted Press. indicate that in submarines,
light cruisers and destroyers, Japan is
building more than any other nation,
and in some classes, more than all the
other naval powers together.
Japanese opinion has great faith in
the future of the submarine as fleet
unit, so much so that Admiral Baron
Kato scrapped his submarine program
and has drawn up an entirely new one.
Under the new program the Japanese
submarine will be much more formid-
able than the best of the German boats,
The latest designed Japanese sub
marines are Of 1900 tons displacement,
carry two 6-inch quick firing guns, six
torpedo tubes. are heavily armored and
have a cruising radius at III knots Of
10000 miles. Though suitable for
commerce raiding, they are also suit
able for fleet work.
This indicates that Japan expects the
next war to be fought. at some dis
lance from her shores probably some
where in the Pacific.
