Monday, Oct. 9. - Books and mag
azines have arrived from several Of our
friends d.. John A Neva. June Cham
bers. Chas Dean, and David c. Howell.
These books were mostly donated 70
the kindergarten. The teachers are
much pleased to get books and apar-
atus to be used in instructing the little
folks Your generosity is assisting the
cause that We are now interested in
pushing forward to greater success.
Say! Talk about success and ingenu-
IityI Conlin and Gaddis areso success
full in exploiting the helpless peanut
that they are not only extracting milk
from the little fellow. and supplying the
hotel with it in opposition to our milk
cows. but they are now making ice
cream from this same extraction. These
two fellows are also making peanut but
ter of the very best quality. 1t is pure
and wholesome. They have no inten-
ton Of stopping with the peanut BUSH
ness. They intend TO manufacture rice
products and substitute for coffee
and no one knows where these two fell
lows will stop. Well, we don't want
them to stop. just SO long as their pro-
ducts are real, pure, wholesome food.
Our exchange proposition to the local
farmers is surely making a hit! We
exchange our products and labor for
their products, without the necessity Of
any cash transaction. Such a system
can be put in force for general use and
the dollar will not blind so many peo-
pie. They will learn that dollar trad
ing means loss TO the producer and pro-
fit for the ones who control the dollar
supply. We want to exchange with you
on the same basis. my friend, provid-
led the transportation charges are not
too great. Shall | say.it again9 Yes.
We need $4,000 for the remainder of
this years land purchase, and we must
have it from you who expect to come
later and make this your home. We
need this land, and you will need the
home. Why not send us your money
with which to make the purchase right
nowp This movement will never have
more land than it needs. because there
are thousands who would come right
now, if we were prepared to take them.
This we cannot do until we secure this
next 5000 acres of land. We can
raise the money by cutting and selling
our most valuable timber; and, of
course, will do so as a last resort-but
when so many of you are talking of
joining us, we do not want to sacrifice
the timber, if you are going to do your
part in the purchase of this property.
Now, why not do your part while the
opportunity to do the greatest good Of
fers itself? At no time in its history
has the Colony reached SO high de-

can have. where security Of the fu-
ture supply, thru honest effort can be
had. Even the grown people do NOT
quarrel over the best houses or better
clothes, when an opportunity to live
a good. wholesome life among brother
ly and sisterly-disposed comrades is
offered to them. We don't need to
wait for the hereafter TO get into hea-
ven. II Is here, and you could have it
now. You people who work and toll,
/ say you can have it NOW, if you will
only reason and live it. You must
lose your desire to exploit others; you
must quit competing with each other
for living; you must lose your suspi-
|cion, greed, and jealousy, and cooper
ate with each for the benefit Of each
other; you must get a happy. whole
some desire for service to mankind,
right here and now, and you can have
heaven on earth. AIT the Colony we
know it IS true. Our children reflect
it every hour Of their lives. Our chill
dren are perfectly happy and content

social life and real comradeship: they
are contented in the food and clothing
they get and nothing mars their hori-
zon, excepting some parent who cam
not lay aside his or her self interests
sufficiently to desire better civiliza-
ton than the capitalistic form. OF
course, their past experiences and their
lack of self-control causes the relapse.
But we are steadily wearing away the
effects Of an old environment. Now,
friends which road do you desire to
travel Will you continue TO support
the old system Of robbery, exploitation.
greed, and hell on earth; or will you
give up selfishness and render service.
join the LLANO WAY, and help your
lself and Others to a little of heaven
right here and nowp You can do it,
because we are doing it. The world is
big enough. Nature provides album
dainty. It is our own fault, our ignor-
ance, that keeps us listening about hea-
ven in the future and binding ourselves
to the fact that heaven is HERE, if
we would only open our eyes and our
minds and accept it. If Jesus taught
us the truth, we can see by every thot
and action of this great teacher that he
pointed the way for people to live and
have heaven on earth. Yes, friends,
it is within our power to live such lives
right now and Llano is pointing the

LABOR Seer AIRY DAVIS

v
The following extract Is from an adj
dress Of labor secretary Davis before
the American Insurance Union at Co
lumbus. Ohio. Two hundred and
fifty thousand American babies
snatehed BY death from their mothers
every year before they have had time
20 scarcely open their unsseing eyes up
On The world about them.
Half million. so-called detectives
and delinquents, growing up almost to-
tally neglected,
A million and half American boys
and girls bent beneath the burden Of
premature toll in mine and mill and
factory before they have sensed the
duties and privileges Of humanity.
Thirty millions American children
Of school age. who, even if they can
WIN the opportunity for education, face
false learning, and that will not fit
more than one in ten of them for the
places they must occupy in life.''
But more portentous yet, contin-
ued the secretary. looms the problem
Of the child in industry. Approximate
" million and half American boys
and girls Of school age are today
thrown beneath the wheels Of the Jug
gernaut Of industry. pressed to labor
before their time, doomed to the dreary
drudgery Of mine and mill BY economic
necessity. They face hopeless fu-
ture.''
Here is where we face a real dan
ger to the republic. 7
Secretary Davis most eloquently de-
picts conditions as he knows them to
be. And while offering no suggestions
as 10 cure, he has in general way
pointed to fact that some remedy
must be found for evils, that should
have no existence within the confines
Of an intelligent people. The nation
is rich; but its great riches have be-
come so congested that the good they
should do becomes impossible; and not
only this, wealth SO badly administered
by a free people; admits Of ignorance,
that must be overcome; if we are to
continue foremost nation.
