their work all done on time. Mesdames

Wurfer, and Fischer are the steadies
while Mrs. Hartz and Docia Cryer put
in their spare time, too. Comrade

great life if you don't weaken! Bob
Chappelle and W. Beavers started for
the rice ranch yesterday 10 help the
threshers and bail hay until the brick
kiln cools off and then-welI, you
know what / said: I'VE will build
brick houses, even tho no brick ma
son comes to help. IF we could only
pick the men we need, when we want
them, our job would be easy-but we
can't, SO we will build, even tho we
can't swipe, beg or borrow brick ma
son to help. Tonight the psychology
meeting met as usual, and several col
ony subjects were put under fire.

are picked and ready to be threshed.
The peanuts are under cover and are
ready to be made into milk and butter.
The next crop is being tackled to-day.
The gathering of our syeet-spud crop
is the important thing. The farm
crew is at the same time adopting
Jacques and BeIcher to their force, and |
as they cut potato vines the adopted"
help cuts sorghum, and the are both
hauled to the silo and converted into
COW feed. Many of our neighbors are
bringing IN sweet potatoes, which will
be put in the kiln and evaporated, |
along with our own. 1t will take a
week or more of rather fast work to
complete the potato harvest. Babb is
back in the broom factory teaching
Walt. Fread how to make brooms; |
and, as Walt. is mechanically inclined,
he is making good slow quick" |
haven't said word about our office
force for so long | fear to open the
subject; as they have always heaped
abuse upon me for saying mean things |
against them, and as must tell the
truth, | can't say anything good about
them. Now. just take Burton; he
keeps the corporation books, takes all
