as well as the binder, and they are now
ready for shipment. By threshing for
our neighbors, supplying one man with
the tractor and thresher, we can get
zoe per bag for the service. After We
have threshed our own crop We will
help our neighbors.
With the rice on our own land, to-
|gether with one fifth Of the crop from
adjoining farms for use Of the water
supplied from our pump, Llano should
have crop. of about 5000 bags Of
200 lbs. each.
Some Of this viii probably Be sold
on the market. much will be reserved
for use of Llanoites and their stock. and
some Of the good rice will be reserved
for seed.
Next year, with the use Of the ad-
joining 10 acres. the yield will be ev-
en- greater.
Now that Llano is making success,
many such propositions come before Us,
but lack of funds prevents action on
some, even tho they would be of great
benefit to the movement.

to such statement. Further. all the
lands of the Colony are held under the
name Of the corporation, and cannot
be sold, mortgaged, o. disposed of in
any way, other than BY the consent OF

you conceive of a purer cooperation
than this9 You readers of the Colon
ist-I call upon you to be witness
that The diary has always claimed
that our hardest struggle would be
when we became prosperous; because
of the fear of drifting back into capital
ism. But the psychology Of the Colony
is entirely against this very condition.
We want to prosper and are prosper
ing and are forever calling upon you
fer money, not to finance US, but for
the purpose of buying more land and
equipment that we may permit others
to come to the Colony even tho they do
not have enough money with which to
pay for a membership. | have often
said and say ii again that if you fur
nish the cash that will permit us to de-
vote ALL OUR TIME to cooperative
construction, we will progress much fas-
ter than we shall if we have tc devote
part Of our time to profit getting in or
der to raise money with which to buy
the necessaries we are not now produc-
ing. 1t is only fair that you should do
this, SO that we can more rapidly get
the homes built, the factories in run
ming order, and the land cleared for
those who wish to come. 1t is not fair
TO question other comrades motives un-
til you know them. 1t is not co-opera-
ton to condemn men and women who
have put all their wealth, several years
Of hard work, and an untiring energy
into movement Of this kind, without
first coming and seeing it for yourself.
You are wrong to pass judgment upon
comrades or their work after listening
to some one who has become disccur-
aged OF disgruntIed with the Colony
or with some Individual in it. We are
ready to stand the acid testLcome, see
us and we shall be glad to show you
that the Colony is just what it is claim
ed to be. No one can criticize our lit
erature or our publications more close
Iy than do the colonists themselves.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

I fancied saw a quizzical light
heard the first question she had al
flash into Lillian's eyes when she
lowed me to answer since my awak-
ening to consciousness. But if it did
exist it vanished in another instant,
and her answer was serious and to
the point.
IF you mean the army officer who
brought you here to the hospital-he
wasn't killed.
There was something in her man
ner, elusive, unwilling, which gave
me an insight into the truth.
"He was badly hurt!" I exclaimed
Lillian looked at me gravely.
eff you're going to allow yourself to
become excited, Madge," she said
quietly, Il cannot tell you anything
more"
1T will be good, Lillian" I meekly
replied, but if you only knew how
splendid that officer was, and from
what he saved me, you wouldn't won
der"
II can guess" Lillian returned,
from the feat he performed in bring
ing you to the hospital when he him
self was in most serious condition.
But he has a splendid physique, the
physicians say, and they believe him
to be practically out of danger now.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1922-08-03

But you won't be able to say thank
you to him for several days.
'Ts he conscious?"
7 Yes, and resting easily since his
nurse brought him the news of your
return to consciousness. He evidently
was most remorseful about something
he told you to do-thought he had
sent you to death or something Of
that sort, and his worry over it ma
terially increased his danger
"He must have been under a terri
BILE strain, mentally and physically, for
besides bringing you to the hospital
bundled into the tonneau of his car, he
had with him on the front seat a
snarling, shifty-eyed captive, who, he
must have known, was only watching
for a momentary weakness on his part
to make good his escape"
Did he get away?" I asked fearful
1y, land do you know what his name
was?"
Ernest Or Otto?
For into my mind had come again
the terror Of the giant, Otto, which /
had felt during my tempestuous So
journ at the inn. I felt instinctiveIy
that of the two men Ernest had by
far the better mentality, was a much
more dangerous man to have at large
than the stolid, brutal Otto with his

far more than I did Ernest. Were he
alive and free / knew my life was a
precarious thing.

Lillian looked at me keenly.
There was one killed, I believe"
she said slowly, "at least that is what
gathered from what the officer said to
his fellow when he came in here"
Silently leaned back against my
pillows and closed my eyes for mo-
ment in sheer relief.

know Just imagine losing all this
time out of my life-how much is it,
by the way?

Tell me, how didy on get here?"
Never mind that now" Lillian re-
turned. 81 want you to hear about
your officer first. It's a story worth
hearing I can tell you"
HE isn't my officer" I returned
childishly.
Lillian laughed.
IF you had seen the way he logged
you in here you would have thought
you belonged to each other in some
way" she said quizzically.
