UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
(By The Federated Press)

Madison. Wis. Unemployment in
suraRce will aid both the farmers and
the workers, according to Prof. John
r. Commons, who is interested in the
Huber unemployment bill to be intro
duced by Senator Henry A. Huber in
the 1923 Wisconsin legislature. Sim
liar bills are being drafted in other
states, and Prof. Commons has spok-
en in debate with Samuel Gompers on
lit in Massachusetts.
Prof. Commons maintains that the
elimination of unemployment would
prevent industrial depressions. in which
the worker is the victim Of unemploy-
ment and the farmer is the victim of
low prices for his product. By pro-
viding employment for the worker, un-
employment compensation would pro-
vide market for the farmers product.

Llano could conclude its land purchas-
es this year and build its new dormi-
tory if just Us new members would
pledge themselves to make treir pay
ments before January, 1923. This
would give Llano $l25.0OO, which
amount would finish the purchase Of
the whole 10000 acres, and supply
money enough to build a new brick ho-

AN AMBITIOUS BUNCH
WITH A VISION

g sya.-5
One Of the most alive groups in
Llano Colony is made up Of the com
rades that attend the agricultural meet
mgs. They are men and women i'm
bued with wonderful vision of the
glorious possibilities of the colony en-
terprise and the general cooperative
movement throughout the world. The
electrltication of the Colony by water
power was one Of the subjects discuss
ed at the meeting on Friday evening,
November 9. The belief was express
ed that there is ample water power
on the Colony grounds that if properly
utilized will dispense entirely with the
chopping and hauling of wood. The
waste of potential power by the non
utilization Of the water power in the
United States was called crime. Ii
was declared that the Ohio river alone
could furnish enough power to run all
the machinery in the United States. 1t
was charged that the backwardness in
electrification was due 10 conspiracy
of railroad and coal mine owners who
want to perpetuate the present order
for the better exploitation Of the peo-
lple.
Comrade Darth reported gratifying
progress of the grape club. Members
of the club have cleared quite patch
of ground and are assured of an abun-
dance of vines for their use. A friend
in neighboring tosSn has scored a
gratifying success in the commercial
growing Of fine grapes and there is no
good reason why large supply can
not be provided for all needs Of our
Colony and for our friends. The out
look for the fig orchard is also most
promising. 1t will be considerably en-
Ilarged. heavily manured and placed in

Comrade Jones, while primarily In
terested in blackberry growing, brot
the subject Of persimmon and peach
trees UP for discussion, and as a result
a fruit tree planting club Of six mem
bers will do volunteer work in gather
