fellow, and millions are paying the
price Of this waste and greed. Your
turn is coming and you had better open
your eyes and your mind and think.
Selhshness will be the destroyer Of the
present system. Brotherhood will es-
tablish new system. Are you doing
what you can to help to bring about the
brotherhood. or shall you go on with
selfishness and cry out later for some
one to save you from your errors You
can help now, comrade, and you owe it
TO the world to help and in every
way you can. He who loseth his life
for my sake will find it, surely applies
now. Many of our people have given
their all to carry on this good work
and they were never happier in their
lives than they are now. Here you can
find happiness if you can lose your
selfishness, suspicion and jealousy and
can look for the good to be found in
serving others. We were never so con-
tented with life as we are to-day. We
never had so much to do, but we feel
our work is of some use in a great
iiworld movement. Truly there is no
work as important as that of helping to
establish a real human civilization.
And you will never find life until you
get on the job. Band practice, agri-
culture class, sex hygiene and physical
culture took up the evening for both
large and small members of the Colony

Saturday, August 70. = This is al
ways a busy day at the Colony, as we
have so much work all the time that
we try to find a closing-up spot for ov-
er Sundays. A change is now under
way at the school. For several months
the cafeteria has been run in the same
building with the kindergarten, but now
the new cafeteria building is about fin
lshed and a move is made to the new
house of eats" Here the children
will be taken in groups and taught how
to cook. Certain ones will cook the
meals for week or two, Others will
set the tables. clean up and wash the
dishes, keep the house clean and neat
Just as one would do in his own home.
In fact, it will be a domestic science
school and useful asset at meal time.
AT each table teacher will sit with
the children and make the meal time
a pleasant affair by directing the con-
Iyersation along interesting lines. The
big idea of the cafeteria is that in the
future when we build our new hotel the
dining hall and kitchen, it will be con-
Quoted along the lines of a cafeteria
and will be open at all hours ready
to serve just whatever one wants that
the Colony can furnish as food. The
food values will be shown and taught
and one can soon learn TO scientifically
pick his meal and enjoy the things he
knows he should have for his better
ment. Physical culture is taught; the
food question is discussed regularly
and In fact our people as a whole try
to get well-informed upon the food
question. There is waste of labor in
conducting these eating places here
now (the kindergarten also takes care
OF the little tots); but it is lust step
being taken without forcing an issue.
Force is poor way to educate and it
is not used here. We do the best we
can at all times and get along with it.
Ut course, this makes cur progress slow
but the movement solid. Our folks
know why certain steps are made and
we all try to be as patient as we can
and not try to rush those who fail to
see readily. We are all children in this
great movement of working together.
Cooperation means to work together.
and | am sure no group of people is
doing it better than we are. Our
growth causes natural pains, but about
the only pains come from new people
who come here expecting to find all the
of a city. Three months
ago we did not have electricity, but
now we have it. Soon we hops to have
electric dishwashers at the hotel Get
is hope for the cafeteria also). We
hope before another year passes to
have city water piped to the town from
he big spring, a new school house
built. cold storage and ice plant,
Yes, we shall have all the modern con-
as soon as we can get them
and when We have them they will be
ours. The dancing school and the
dance were held as usual at the hotel
tonight.
