Saturday, May 27. ~ The weather
is ideal and the farmers are planting
sorghum, peanuts. soy beans and COW
peas. Our crops are looking fine and
it is real inspiration to see the growth
everything in the fields is making. The
sugar cane is looking exceedingly we'll,
and, although it got late start on ac-
count of rain, it is now showing the
effects of the extra fertilization it re-
ceived. c. c. West, wife, and daugh-
ter brot Gertrude home again and add
ed to our family by bringing Master
Elwood Hoofpauir with them TO make
his future home with us. Robert Wur-
fer and family arrived from N. Y. and
i is much to be regretted that Comrade
Wurfer is under the weather from an
operation. But he will soon recover
after breathing our pine-woods air and
living among friends. He is a special
friend of Comrade Coleman's. Anoth-
sr new house is being constructed be-
tween the place where the Beavers live
and the Conlin house. Frank Newman
expects to occupy it. No. Frank isn't
married and | don't know whether he
sver will be or not: he will live with
his mother. Please don't worry. The
1arrise have moved into their new
house, which is located east Of the Con-
ms. The building department is di-
,ided into three gangs now. Rechstein-
n and Langridge are putting another
tory on top of the print shop. Matt
md Nash are building the new single
louses, while Downs. Chappell, W.
3eayers and Sharrer are laying the
oundation for the new machinery
The children are helping to
'atch up the loose ends of our work
II over the place and before noon we
lids hit out to the swimming pool. Yes,
We ate our dinner and had big swim
'fter which we came back to the Col
my, helped Myrtle to make ice cream.
md later we took in the dancing school
md dance. The new orchestra arr
'angement offers lots of help to US old
liners and. believe me, when we gel to |
holding our dances in the new roof-gar-
len, we will be able to furnish all kinds |
# music, good, bad, and worse. even
o bass drum solo.
