Fread and Van Nuland are all on this
JOB. pulling draws this morning. In the
pm. they were taken to the potato
field and transplanted. These are the
jobs where the children come in han
Idy. a group Of them can get together
and their active hands and bodies can
drop slips and do as much work as
grown-ups on such jobs. Yes, they en-
Joy it, too, and it gives them some prac-
teal experience that will make them
very valuable workers in the future,
when the time comes for them 10 take
the place Of US older people. And
while we are on this subject, want to
call your attention to the fact that we
need people to take our places now.
There is not a person here in charge
lof department that is not ready to
surrender his work to others who are
more efficient. The same holds true
among all the colonists; We are work
ing for cooperative results, nothing
less, and we need many more workers
fright now Those who are willing to
put in their wealth and energy to build
up this commonwealth. The saw mill
crew is getting out crate material and
shingles while the tractors are houI-
ling logs from out west Of the Ford
ranch. W. Beavers, Harris, ChappeIIe
and. Dan Cryer started cutting more cy-
press to-day down on the Anacoco
creek. We shall need many thousands
of shingles to roof the buildings we are
expecting to build this year, Evidently
brick masons are scarce and our work
lis held up for lack of these tradesmen
to assist our young brick layers in the
several buildings that are to be built.
Partial plans for the new school house
came and it will not be long before
1.-THE kiddoos can begin work on this
LOB. This children will build their own
school as part of their practical educa-
ton. Langridge and Rechsteiner are
now finishing up the new top story to
the print shop and soon the working
space will be twice what it is now. To-
night the band practice and the agri-
cultural class took up the evening at
the school house and the electric lights
ran until midnight for the first time,
Comrade Gaddis being the new man on
the new job.
Saturday, July /, - 1t rained again
last night, stopping farm operations;
but not our other work. Every avail
able man is now helping to build road
down thru our land east to the Casio
creek, SO that We can get out hickory
and oak and magnolia timber that was
cut last winter. This will give us a
supply of wagon timbers and other val
liable timber and very soon we will
begin to cut gum trees to make sweet
potato crates from. Comrade Gault is
moving grass and weeds in the hotel
yard and at the kindergarten school,
|Babb, Coleman and the kids are piling
lit up and later it will be made into fer
|tilizer. Well, to-day we made another
leap into the realm Of financing and
closed up deal for the rice farm. This
year we should get enough rice off the
place to equal the cost Of the place to
us. With the addition of few hun
bred dollars worth of fixing up we can
make it most valuable property.
wonder just hoy much you realize we
are depending upon our fellow coop
orators from the outside to come in and
back us up for future progress. The
children had their picnic as usual to-
day; but the lady reporter" was again
absent. An eight-mile ride on one
cylinder bay motor put yours truly
to the bad and the trip to the pool was
not for me. The putting up Of veget-
ables and pickles by the Gaddis duet
and Mrs. Schuster goes merrily on
and the shelves at the store are being !,
