a loud grooming was heard, unearthly

lmy blood run cold with expectation.
Rushing forth as Nick Carter used to
do to unmask these villaincus night
prowlers, | ran thru big shed to where
the groans were coming from, and what
do you suppose | saw? A group Of
men, two span of mules and clay brick
being belched out of the brick machine
so fast that you would not have been
i able to groan if you should have swal-
lowed the same amount of mud. Of
course | saw the mistake of my keen
lsense Of smelling trouble; the wrong
of prejudging these fellows and for
punishment they put me to work. Well,
the old mud-hen is giving US several
thousands Of brick to-day and will
vow never to suspect another comrade
again. This brick-making is one of our
best industries, as it will eventually fur
nish us all with brick houses to live in
as well as put all of our industries in
brick buildings that will be as near fire
proof as possible, with all buildings
built for light, ventilation and other adj
vantages for those who work there.
From now on, we intend to push the
brick making. Each evening after the
other work is done we will run the brick
machine until dark. Brick also gives
us some income as we sell TO our neigh
bors many thousand each month; this
is necessary to help US carry our current
expenses. If we were not forced to
buy some things from the outside each
month we could devote all our efforts
to building up the Colony homes and IN
dustries. Therefore, we have asked
you to help us in our up-building by |
providing a way for us to live without
resorting to profit-taking. The dancing
school and dance were held as usual
even tho there were some very tired !
musicians and dancers.

Sunday, Aug. ~ "A busy day for
many Elanoites. We cannot run the
brick machine while the saw mill and
electric plant engines are in use; SO
we decided to make brick to-day while
all other engines are shut down. So
we worked from daylight until dark
also to-day, and ran out
more than 10000 brick. And we who
work are a little tired, but glad we
lid it, as it means much progress. Com

Arizona, came here on a visit to-day,
