comrades, for your useful assistance.
Van Nuland. Waters and King arriv-
ed last night from the rice ranch, where
they have finished the planting and
they brot home two Of our new Wallis
tractors. They came overland with
the noisy things. Ole took Hinkley ID
the rice farm to-day to assist Gallo and
Landrum in running the pumping plant
"a hours per day. They will be there
for the next three months. Dan Cryer
and H. Bell are sailing pork and pre-
pairing to make bacon. Rowe wants to
dispose Of his surplus hog meat. Com
rade Yates is about to flood the ranch
with milk goats. So many kids are be-
ing born that some folks beliece he brot
US herd Of rabbits; but the beauty
of the little imps and the quantity Of
milk from the mothers make them
wonders TO our neighbors. Leather
making is still being rushed by Com
Irades Lay and S. Merrel. and Roede
expects to make new pair of sandals
for every mule on the place and new
harness for all the men and women.
Won't it be finep Comrade Hendricks,
wife. aand son Carl all arrived from
Kansas to-day TO make us another vis-
it. Some change around the old place
since they were here before. Com
,rade Messenger just came in with a
mice bunch of red raspberries from his
new vines and. believe me, they are
fine. Combined orchestra and band
practice was our evening program un-
It'll s pm. We shall furnish the music
at the old veterans reunion at Lees
vilie tomorrow. Agriculture as our re-
lgular class was held after s o'clock
and Miss LIE Fevre, our Parish Demon
strator, was on hand to give us a les
son in dairying. Mrs Giesen from Ba-
ton Rouge spoke upon cheese-making
and profitable evening was had for
all who attended. We are linking our
selves up closer with the State Depart
ment of agriculture every day. for a
better cooperation in education.

Saturday. June 3. Mrs. Gaddis
and Mrs. Babb with some Of the school
children have been picking and can
ming black berries for the last two
days, and they have put up large
supply. To-day they are canning
string beans. You would almost think
they were running ''beanery." Mrs
G. has consented to add to her other
duties the management of our canning
department. We have ordered a new
canning equipment and expect to lay
by" our winters supply of tomatoes,
corn, beans. etc. Mrs. Sanders is put
ting all of her spare time on the job,
too, and the store is almost clerkless.
Comrade Mcdonald has now got the
new bookkeeping system started in
our ranch accounting department, and
he will extend this new system right
on up to the school house where Com
rade Martin will cooperate with him.
Cooperative bookkeeping is somewhat
different from the old system. and we
expect to carry on simplified and eff
ficient system. The orchestra went to
Leesville to-day and furnished music
their cause sixty years ago, The most
beautiful part Of the whole affair to
me was to note that these old gentle
men have no bitterness against those
with whom they struggled. but they are
to-day glad the union was preserved
and to-day hold Lincoln to be the
greatest friend of the South at the time
Of his DEATH. Oh! for the time when
all bitterness will be erased from the
hearts of mankind; the day when we
shall recognize all men as brothers!
When that time comes, boundary lines
will stop and the brotherhood of man
Twill be established. Is this look into
Heaven or earthp leave it to you.
Many new friends were made in Lees
willie to-day and the time will come
when all our neighbors will look upon
US as friends to all mankind. The US
.ual program of Saturday evening clos
ed the days activities dancing
school and the dance.
