Show PROGRESSIVE INDEPENDENT Clark of Milwaukee Men Who Do Work (Continued from Page One) about fifty industries, and there isnt a single man unemployed. The history of that organization tells that the reason behind their plan was the inability to get the necessary supply of water, and so they founded a community. They started in with practically nothing, and have grown until they have been able to purchase many many acres of land and things necessary with which to deoperate successfully. Even in the shelter, pression everyone has food, and clothing. There are 450 of them in that organization; BEST SYSTEM YET If a stranger comes into the community, he can start almost immediately to work, but fie isn't taken in as a member unless he remains two or three years to prove that he will realreally fit in. The social life there is ly a magnMUhat keeps many people there whWuld not othenarise stay. They aimflBF supply entertainment for all of their people, old and young, to fit their different tastes. A dance is held once a week for the young people which is furnished late' music, and a dance is also held for the older people with music to order. The people participate in various dramatic programs. Even their meals are arranged so that they eat together in a large community dining room, cafeteria style. That is a little picture of the colony as it is today. They have different units, through which they are able to secure the different products that are not raised in their own section of the country. They educate systheir members in the tem. That's what you folks must do: Mr. Stringham and the other leaders must have your brains and thework of your hands to put this over. Study your books; read your paper; learn the plan in every detail. You have gone farther than any of the cities of the United States. I am going back and tell the people in Milwaukee about your organization and how to go about organizing on the same principle. You have made wonderful but you must organize to Srogress, you have. Outside people will pick you to pieces. You must always he conscious of what you are striving for. Attend your meetings with and really know and each other.

A dance held Friday evening, August 5, at our new headquarters, 55 W. Broadway, proved to be a huge success. In the neighborhood of 300 people were present. The music was furnished by our orchestra under the direction of Mr. Cox. Aside from the regular fox trot and waltz, such dances as the Virginia were reel, quadrille, and two-ste- p danced. Mrs. Pia, along with her exgood-naturhusband, ceptionally served punch for dancers, which had a good flavor, due probably to the fact that it was obtained from Excelsis on A credit. During the evening it was decided by common consent that the N. D. A. hold a weekly Friday night social of some sort or other, and it was announced that Friday, August 12, there would be held a picnic at Dr. Geo.

Mr. Woodruff urged everybody to come and bring picnic,1 because, said he, at our outing at Rotary Grove, some failed to do so, and as a result, 1 didn't get much to eat.
