Friday. Nov. II. Now, you see
the treatment | getl Run out Of the
office like the cat. because they say
/ loaf on the job too muchl | don't
care; we shall just continue the sights
and go, over where they keep our
clothes clean. Yes, this is the laun-
dry-I know we need new one, and
! heard the Gar say we shall have
it as soon as they get time to build an
up-to-date one. It will also be modern
" equipped to save labor. Dad Beav-
ers is the chief Chinaman and does the
washing, fires the boiler, and helps to
hang out clothes; and. when the wo-
men say SO. he helps to run the man
gle while he rests). The rest Of this
crew are all women: Mesdames Wur-
fer, Goldman. Fischer, Chappelle,
Baldwin, Beavers, and Docia Cryer.
The latter helps half day and attends
school the other half. There is one
way in which can beat this crew
when they feel very good, they allow
me to twist their necks little Chi
70. adjustment is good to stimulate
them into further action for the good
of the Colony No, | don't dare twist
all their necks: most Of them are targ-
er than |. Let US move before they
digest that last remark. Here, we are
at the crate factory. where we find a
busy crew making crates-Aaby, Pa
ton, Depuy, Dougherty, Schmedes.
Thurman, and Dr.. Ferree, who is short
on sick folks and takes his spite out
on sweet-potato crates; and a visitor
Comrade Thornbloom, is also helping
them. These crate-makeEs nearly all
have other jobs, but migrate to this
shop when rush for crates is on, or
famine of other work for them. Over
here, in this concrete building. with
the small roof garden effect, is the
printing outfit. Here we find Gleeser,
Buck, CantreI, and Cotton, as the old
heads; while Robt. Lindsey, Vinita
Thurman, Maxine Gaddis;. Katherine
Sutherland. Rubn Synoground. Chas.
Lee. and Doris ChappeIIe, school chill
dren. are also HELPERS and students dur
ing part of each day. George Suther-
land is also connected with this work,
but Is out on the road getting acquaint-
ed with our neighbors and placing
weekly paper into their homes, for
which he accepts cash, or farm pro-
ducts. in exchange. And here are Will
Beavers and Bob Cbappelle, building
a nice new brick chimney, clear uo
thru The print shop 1.-TWO stories). AL
SO, they will build a furnace where the
printers lead may be remelted in
doors. Later. more brick jobs for this
pair. Yes, years Of it ahead Of them!
Oh my! Our print shop is dam
dy. and we do lots of good work. even
if they do print the diary" there!
Well, it's dinner time again, and we
shall go to the cafeteria for this meal.
Here we meet Mrs. Potts and Mrs. Bel
cher, who superintend and work at the
children's eating house. Dora Cryer,
Laura Merrill, Lauretta Fenton and
Mrs. Clappa help in the afternoons.
Each week, new group of Riddles
wash the dishes and help in the house,
keeping here. Here is Comrade Sang
er. an old member, just returned; he
is getting glass to put new window
lights into the school house, kindergar-
ten and other public buildings. Some
fine spirit; he puts up his own cash
on this job, too. Down here is the
school house. where Comrade Martin
