LLANO SCHOOL CHILDREN
BREAK UP CARD PARTY

The Llano Five-EEundred Club was
intensely interested in one Of its best
nights playing last tuesday night
when suddenly the side door opened
and group Of children, headed BY one
of them carrying large birthday cake
with lighted candles. marched into the
room and deposited the cake on the
table right under the nose of Comrade
Martin their school teacher, whose
birthday it was.
The children filed in until the place
seemed packed with them. and they
grouped around Martins table and
sang He's a Jolly Good Fellow. The
card club was broken up and dancing
indulged in.
Cake and lemonade with whole
wheat gems were served. after all had
enjoyed the evening very much.

ISSUED FOR
COLONY RECEPTION

Invitations have been issued for the
reception to be given to Mrs. Rose
B. Blair at the Llano hotel on Monday
night. March 20.
Comrade Mrs. Blair has been spend
ing several weeks with the colonists,
and has made herself endeared to all.
1t was her optimism some months ago
which originated the "klink of the
brick" phrase in connection with the
Llano hotel.
Later she came down personally to
see what was holding up the "kIinking' .
and while she has not heard the klink
on the hotel, she has certainly heard
the "klink of the brick" on the roof
garden job
She is soon to return TO her home
in Washington, and the reception is
being given in her honor next Monday
evening.

SMALL COLONY HOUSES
ARE BEING ERECTED

Because Of the increasing number
of people who are now making the
Llano Colony their home, the housing
problem is one which is pressing. 1t
is being met at present by the erection
Of small two-room houses which can
be quickly made ready for use.
The colonists had hoped to begin the
erection Of its permanent new hotel
and homes before this, but the lack
of brickmasons and other labor has
postponed that work and made neces-
sary the erection of these temporary
houses.
The mill saws up the lumber and
makes the siding, flooring and shin
giles all ready to be fitted into the hous-
es. They are two-room houses, each
room II x II. 1t should be remem-
bered that in NewIIano one is seldom at
home except to sleep. for the colon
lists may eat at the hotel, and in the
evenings there is always social or ed
ucational diversion to be had.
Several families are on. the ground
now awaiting the completion of these
houses, ten Of which will be erected at
once.

A BEAUTIFUL DREAM OF LIFE

In busy Newllano, each nan woman,
and child,
By roseate picture Of the future
beguiled,
Makes play Of our work and work
of our play,
Till the weeks roll around in the
space Of a day;
Where the fragrance of flowers on the
zephyr that blows
Just lulls us to rest while our dream
city grows.
For the poet or painter, wonderful
theme
Life isn't a fever-it's beautiful
dream.
To select reading by w. H. Bur
ton at the Colony's entertainment last
Sunday night, the reader had added
the foregoing verse of his own poetic
fancy. Thesreading was entitled, This
Fever Called Living, and did not ex-
actly picture the life abroad of to-day
as beng particularly desirable, espe-
cially in the cities mentioned. Life
under cooperation in Newllano is GER
tainly the one bright spot. Living is
not fever here; but delight Of tram
guilty and repose and an incompara-
bic social intercourse.
In addition to the masterfuI reading
OF Comrade Burton, splendid musical
program, vocal and instrumental, was
Miss Louise Belohradsky favored the
audience with one of her choice song
solos and encored with another. Com
rade Frank Newman and Miss Trixie

that pleased everybody. Comrade H.
7. Bell gave two songs and Prof. Mar
tin rendered an exquisite solo ON the
violin-cello.. Mr.. Roberts. one Of our
neighbors, volunteered wonderful
guitar solo and Comrade Geo. Mstz
finished the program with accordion
selections.
Just when everybody was about 10

sprung on the colonists when Comrade
Pickett announced the marriage Of Mr.

ceremony had been performed at four
o'clock by Justice James Oakes; and
It was certainly proper celebration.

close of the program. Congratulations
we're showered on the happy pair. The
~olonist wishes them many long years

THE SACHARINE AND
JUICY SUGAR CANE

The Agriculture meeting at New
llano on Friday night, March 10Th, was
largly occupied with miscellaneous mat
ters, although sugar cane was the sub
ject discussed at the beginning Of the
meeting. As the Colony is growing
a considerable acreage Of the succu-
lent cane and transforming the Juice
into superior syrup and variety Of
candies, the resident farmers can speak
with some authority on the subject.
The cane requires large amount of
nutriment and plenty of water and very
faithful tillage to produce the largest
results. The Colony has increased its
acreage every year since coming here
and finds a ready market for its sur
plus of syrup and the candies manufac-
tured, being strictly pure cane juice
with nothing added except where
combination with peanuts is manufac-
tured.
Thus far no damage worth while has
ben suffered from cane borers, and
the outlook for a large acreage and
good returns in the near future are
very promising.
Comrade Coleman, who has made
scientific study of agriculture and kin
dred subjects for over fifty years, talk
d very entertainingly Of the bacteria
of nitrification, insects, bats, toads,
and birds.
Among the best workers against the |
insect pests are the bIuebirds, robins,
kingbirds, cuckoos, the tiny
,hicadees. the swallows and the noisy
Noodpeckers. Some idea Of the good
work that birds do in destroying in
'ects can be gained from the follow
ng extract from a circular published
~ the North Dakota Agricultural Col
ege:
"A pair of nesting wrens has been
observed TO take over 500 insects from
! garden in one day. And investiga-
ion shows that 98 percent of the food
# wrens consists of insects. A young
obin in one day ate I65 cutworms,
While another young robin ate SO to
8 cutworms per day for l5-day pc
iod. A study Of $50 stomachs Of ro-
,ins shows that 43 per cent of The
ood was animal matter, largely IN
ects and their larvae, and AZ percent
1ild-not tame fruit. One chicadee
lad 454 plant lice in its stomach. All
