The Llano colonist. [volume] (Llano, Calif.) 191?-1937, 1922-11-25
LANO The Trail That Leads the Cooperative Commonwealth

and industries are all owned by the collectiv-
ity; where each works for the other; where
each receives the same compensation for a
days work; where no member will accept
anything which any other member cannot
have on the same terms, if he desires it
in short, imagine place where the golden
rule is the only law imposed upon the COM
munity, and you are picturing the Llano Co
operative Colony.
After eight years Of work, Llano Colony is
rated in the commercial world as worth over
$250,000. But Llanos least asset is its COM
mercial rating. The fullness of life. the joy
of living. the satisfaction of working, the
security for the future, the healthy environ
ment, the opportunity for education, the aft
lection of your fellowmen-these are priced
more. much more, than what the commercial
world calls success.
This colony now has something like thirty
industries, all collectively owned. Among
these are: apiary, auto garage, building de-
partment. brick-making plant, blacksmith
shop. butcher shop, broom factory, crate
making factory. chicken farm, dairy with
about 20 milking cows and herd of thoro-
bred Holstein heifers, goat ranch. hog ranch.
with several hundred Duroc- Jersey hogs.
sweet-potato storage houses. dressmaking,
grist mill, handle lathes, hotel. hospital, Ii
brary, steam laundry, land clearing. fruit or
chards. print shop, peanut butter factory,
magazine and weekly newspaper. picture
show and theater, wagon-making shop. cam
dy kitchen, shoe shop, harness shop, and
many other smaller concerns.
Then Llano's farms and gardens provide
the bulk of the living for the colonists, the
farmers specializing on sweet potatoes. SUI
gar cane. peanuts, corn. beans, peas, ETC.,
while the gardens provide greens and gar
den truck for the table the year around.
The system of government is exceedingly
simple. Stock is sold in the corporation at
one dollar share, and only stockholders
are employed by the Colony. An agreement
of employment is entered into between the
Colony as an organization and each individ-
ual Each member is employed at what
he best can do, or which needs most TO be
done A board of directors is selected each
year by the stockholders, which board IN turn
The Llano colonist. [volume] (Llano, Calif.) 191?-1937, 1922-11-25

selects general manager. He selects his
toremen for the various industries, and each
is selected carefully according to his ability
to do the work and to direct his men.
Each manager is given free hand to run
his department, always with the supervision
of the manager and board of directors. in
order that his actions may not be contrary to
the collective welfare.
New industries are started from time to
time as necessity demands. The object of
Llano's industries is to provide the Colony
with what it needs, rather than to make
profit by selling the products. Production
for use is our slogan. Thus to make its own
food, clothing and shelter, to provide as far
as possible every convenience and comfort
is the final object To get as nearly as pos
sible to the source of wealth, the Colony will
raise sheep for wool; cotton can be raised,
and the colonists can weave their own cloth
and make their clothing.
The Colony's timber lands are now fur
nishing hardwood and pine for its buildings,
its brick plant makes the necessary brick and
can make thing, hollow tile etc., for its own
homes.
The farm and gardens of the Colony have
provided the tables with most of the good
things which nature offers.
Thus the three important problems are
easily solved.
Work is done as much as possible by ma
chinery. eliminating heavy drudgery. and the
more machinery used. the less the labor is.
Many tractors are used on the farm and in
logging operations for hauling. and for land
clearing.
The Colony now owns about 5000 acres
Of land, some Of it Of very fair character,
varying from bottom land TO rolling land
and timber land. It intends to purchase
total of 10000 acres, because the coIonists
realize that the movement is destined to grow
to large proportions, several small commune
tiles probably will be settled on the land.
When the days work is done at 4:30,
each colonist has an equal opportunity to
improve himself along many lines. such as
music, vocal training. languages. science.
agriculture. orchestra work, dancing, and
other diversions. Many of these classes are
well attended, and all the colonists realize

when no mans hand would be against
the hand of his neighbor, time when each
mans interest would be identical with the
best interests of the whole community. The
progressive thinker, all down through the
march of civilization, has yearned for bet
ter state of society in which to live. For
this reason, more than any other, men and
women have left their native soils and TAX
en- up the duties and terrible hardshlps OF
pioneers, searching for the golden opportun-
ity.
From the East men go West; from the
West they go farther West; but the smeary
hand of exploitation has always followed
close behind, leaving them often drained to
the point of poverty.

Job Hartman founded cooperative COM
munity at LIano, California, on May lst.
1914. This community operated and pros
pered at this location until 1917, when the
water for irrigation purposes proved unequal
to the growth Of the Colony, and a new and
more resourceful location was found in Lou
isiana, where they are now located.
Founded on three great principles of soci-
Ology- equality of opportunity. equality of
income. and equality of ownership, the Llano

the fact that to keep progressive they must
advance in knowledge. A radical in pol
itics and conservative in everything else is
nnf nf nlace in this community.
Llano's school system is as progressive as
the cooperative colony. The children are
not driven to learn. The subjects are ar
ranged so as to draw out of the child the
best that is in him. With this in view. diver
sified industrial trades are placed at his dis
posal. He may thus gain an insight into

most nearly fits in with his natural ability
The school has its own cafeteria now, where
foods more especially adaptable to growing
children are prepared by the domestic SCI
ence class. Music, singing, languages, bot
any, agriculture, Esperanto, are among the
subjects offered to Llano's children; and
there are many opportunities for obtaining
a real education, in addition to those pro-
vided by the regular state course of study,

TO the whole the best they can. and in re-

Hospital and doctor are provided when
sickness comes, and there are no charges for

along the same lines.

Social life is made by those who live to-

land is the isolation which accompanies it.
Here in Llano. the farmers and the industrial
workers live close to the center where dane
es, entertainments, picture shows. and all

making.

of our theories will be changed when
this becomes known.
And, if we are made up Of correlat-
ed fields of force, is itnot wholly with
in the field of reason to assume that
our efforts to remedy our human all
ments must be rather within the pro-
vince Of mind?
What we call matter must be CON
gregations Of atoms made up Of colIec-
tons Of atoms differently arranged as
TO the numbers Of eIectrons composing
them.
And if matter is thus resolved into
electrons which are unquestionably of
like nature each to all the others, then
matter is but points of force. and mind
IS but points Of force, so that matter
and mind are strikingly akin.
And. being thus akin, it is only rea-
sonable to assume that force can act
on force directly. Fancies Of diet can
be logically reasoned to be but the ac-
ton of electrons constituting matter
upon electrons constituting mind, or in
other words, it resolves itself into the
union and possible action of like cleo
irons.
But this must, in the ultimate, be
merely the action Of mind.
And. while the different schools Of
dieting are at odds, and different
schools of healing quarrel as to the
drugs most effective, it is quite as log
ical and reasonable to admit the the
ory of mind as the realm of all cures.
Quite as reasonable as to attribute
health to meatless diet, or TO meat diet,
or TO unfried foods, or balanced RAJ

Revelation Interpreted
The Mysteries Of the Apocalypse of ST. John
Revealed
A Remarkable Book, Making Plain the Way
Unto Salvation, Written by C. A. Kratzer
One Of the Founders of The Universal
Life Institute, of Creighton, sNebr.

The Book of Revelation is vast assem-
blage of parallels, symbols. and allegories, so
presented that the entire book makes one of
the greatest dramas in the worlds literature.
According to the prophecy in the book itself,
the time has come for the unwilling of Jesus
Christ that the mystery of God should be
finished" Mr.. Kratzer has taken off the
veil and set forth its teachings in plain En-
glish, so that the book is of infinite value and
delight for every one who realizes the great
truth that the mind is KINGDOM that must
be ruled Mr.. Kratzer believes that this book
contains more teaching of fundamental impor
lance than any other known document Of
equal length, for it points out all the dangers
and difficulties and sets forth all the saving
truth to be experienced by humans in their
initiation into the Kingdom of Heaven.
This wonderful book of 400 pages, artisti-
calIy printed on the best of paper, beautifully
bound, may be had in black cloth, stamped in
gold, at $780, and in full morocco, flexible
binding, round corners, gold edges, and stamp

around TO different work as is deemed neces-
sary, but the fact is conceded that each
worker works best at something that he likes
to do and has fitted himself for. But when
it is remembered that each is working for the
whole, and the whole is working for the in.
dividual, no one refuses to do what is allotted
to him.
Women all find lots Of work to do. They
feed the men at the hotel. wash and iron for
them at the laundry, make dresses and over
alIs and shirts at the sewing department, att
tend store, office. ETC.. wherever their SER
vices can be utilized to best advantage.
There are no parasites at LIano. Even The
incapacitated, and the aged can sometimes
help. They assemble crates, wrap papers,
attend machines, etc.
On special occasions such as harvesting,
or planting, all the school children are glad
to go to the fields and help. It is the COM
mon food store-and all will help TO save
the harvest. Men, women, and children will
torsake their regular work TO help where they
can.
This is because they are actuated BY am
ideal. They believe in cooperation with
each other. Some co-operators think coop

Llano co-operators realize that each must
sacrifice their personal interests and amaIga-
mate with the COLLECTIVELY. This is the very
ideal which has made Llano signal success
in the cooperative field. when other like
communities have disintegrated.

ity and such an ideal and would ike 10 learn
