horses merged into compact mass,

of his maneuvers. But the results OF

horses by the rebel sentinels.

the shadows. But he was there. He
started off down the trail leading
Diablo. Again the white line stretched
slowly out. Gale fell in behind. Peer
ing low with keen eyes, he made out
three obiects-a white sOmbrero, 4
blanket and Mexican lying face
down. The Yaqui had stolen upon this
sentinel like q silent wind of death.
Once under the dark lee Of the river
bank Yaqui caused another halt, and
he disappeared as before. Moments
passed. The horses held heads up,
looked toward the glimmeripg camp
fires and listened. Gale thrilled with
the meaning of 1t all-the night-the
silence-the Highland the wonderful
Indian stealing with the slow inev-

Suddenly the Indian stalked out of

1--WE Bond YOU

PREVIOUS to ten or fifteen years
ago practically all States, Counties,
Cities and Towns as well as the u. S.
government. freely accepted personal
bonds from their officers and employees,
while today practically all require Cor
poration Surety. There is a reason.
With q Corporation Bend, if the bond
ed person defaults, the liability is alb
solutcly sure TO be paid, while with the
individual bond very often it is not,
and sometimes when it is the stgncr or
signCrs Of the bond suffer serious fl
nancial loss. II YOU nccd a Bond as
Administrators. Guardian, Executor or
Tor any other purpose, do not ask your
friends 10 sign it, bat BUY 1T FROM
Us. Then you Will be Independent.
Very often men sign bonds who would
not thimk OF endorsing note for the
same amount for the same person.
What's the difference?
We execute Bonds immcdiately-no
waiting. Can at our Office and get a

STATE EXCHANGE BANK
NOW WELL ORGANIZED

The officials Of the newly-establish-
ed State Exchange Bank at LeesvilIe
report that business is progressing fa-
vorabIy with them. They intend to
proceed on conservative basis, ex-
pecting the number Of their depositors
to be increasing rapidly when farmers
have sold their crops in the fall, when
deposits Of money will be made at the
bank more briskly than just now. From
the defunct West Louisiana Bank the
State Exchange Bank will receive a
considerable sum due to former deposi-
tors and now shareholders Of the new
institution. it being expected that the
first dividend Of about twenty percent
will be paid in about thirty days, or
the first week in June.

OUR SCHOOL CAFETERIA

OurAschool Cafeteria is running away
with itself. 1t was started about a
month ago. We are eating In the chill
dren's club house. We have hot and
cold water; the water being piped from
the hotel is connected to cur hot water
tank at the Cafeteria. We also have
eight new tables. and they are filled
every day, some people even having to
wait. There are about eighty eating
at the Cafeteria now. This is certain
" relief upon the hotel.
The children get the right kind of
food here. good, wholesome, nutritious
food. They take turns about getting
the meals and washing the dishes.
d Mrs. Martin has charge of the Caf-
eteria and Mrs. Green and Rose Bel
ohradsky are helping her. A new shift
of dishwashers is put on each week.
What do we eat?
All the things we eat are home
grown, excepting the bread and few
other necessities. (We-that is, the
ohildren-have formed club in which
we have agreed to eat Colony products
only; and woe unto the dikkoo that
breaks the rule). Vegetable soup,
bread and milk are servad every day
in connection with lettuce, cabbage or
some other vegetable as a solid, with
Strawberries or milk toast for desert.

with the steam engines now in use in
the saw mill and at the brick plant, is
entirely sufficient for the present needs
OF the Colony. Motors will be. set up
Immediately in the print shop and
laundry, and this move alone will eff
feet a great saving in time and labor,
as it will dispense with one steam en-

and harness shops will also benefit
greatly as at present their power is sup
piled by gasoline engine which puts
"Roede" in the hospital for couple
of days every time he has to start it.
The force at the Dairy. too, is waiting
impatiently for the poIe-setting gang
to head their way; likewise at the poul-
try farm. Electricity will take much
of the dyudgery from the work at both
of these places and mean more com
fort and convenience in many ways.
The pl ant is located right alongside
the big kaldronego (boiIer), where it
will be possible for one man to attend
to both. When the houses have all
been wired, it is planned to operate
the generator the greater part of the
twenty-four hours; but, until this will
have been done. it will run only eight
hours, except on special occasions.
With the industries operated by cleo
tricity, electric lights for our streets
and electricity in abundance in the In
dividuaI homes Llano's pioneering days
will seem to be almost past. Almost
before we know it. we shall be living
in a real "honest-to-goodness,' up-to-
date city.

But in this Colony, what is yours is

So just thought I'd write a little line
