THE AVOCADO PEAR trees have borne such a bountiful crop this year that we are simply revel ing in them. There are even some to spare for the chickens, who seem to enjoy them quite as much as we.
Those little downy chicks of a few months back are now grownup young ladies and settling down to their lifetime careers. I was so excited one morning recently, to find the first little egg and if anyone thinks that a chicken is, well,—just a chicken they can disil lusion themselves right now, for every chicken in that yard has a different temperament and personality. Just like folks only more so. Some are wild and flighty; some are timid and retiring; some will cuddle right up to me begging for attention, and while thus ' engaged, still others will come up behind me and bite my leg or any other part of my anatomy within their reach. Some eat like little ladies, others like pigs, pushing and scrambling and trying to get all the little fidbits which I take them; still others will not eat at all unless I take them on my lap and hold the feed for them. And so while thus occupied trying to keep them healthy and happy the long, hot summer months have slipped by and now we have the beautiful autumn with its longer and cooler nights, and hardly any mo's quitoes, and life has once more become bearable.
Brother Jesse Putnam, journeyed to Jacksonville Friday the 8th as the guest of Edward Koester who grew up in the Unity and worked in the printing house with Brother Jesse for a number of years. Edward now has a printing establishment of his own and is doing very well, indeed. Brother Jesse reports a very enjoyable trip. He returned on Monday the llth.
On Sunday the 17th guests began to arrive for the celebration of the birth of KORESH on October 18th. Some could stay for Sunday only while others remained over until Monday night after the conclusion of serv ices held at the Art Hall, which, as usual, was very beautifully decorated with Brother Theodore's choicest and most colorful plants, also the two flags:—that of our Country and the Koreshan flag which was draped about the large portrait of our Founder.
The program which follows was not rendered as printed because of the absence of Mr. Harold Moreland who could not be present on account of illness. The two pianists, however, rose to the occasion and delight ed the congregation, as always, with their talented per formances.

Sister Vesta and Brothers Theodore and Arthur turned themselves loose in the dining room with Japanese bamboo, Spanish moss, potted plants and cut flowers, both wild and cultivated, the finished ensemble representing the Koreshan colors,—red, green and gold. The dining room with its appointments had also been scrubbed and polished by the above mentioned faithful workers so that it made, together with the decorations, a very pleasing appearance.
Mrs. Lillian Rugg furnished the ducks from her own flock; Sister Charlotte and helper cooked the dinner, which was very ample and delicious, and Miss Meta Monsees furnished and baked the cake for the evening meal which was further enhanced by ice cream. Other good friends contributed fruit and still others sent contributions of money to help along the good cause, and so the day passed very pleasantly.

Rasmussen, Mr. and Mrs. Alton Bessemer and daughter Alice, and Robert and Lloyd Graham of Miami; Samuel Armour of Arcadia; Miss Meta Monsees of Fort Myers, and Mrs. Lillian Rugg, Mrs. Edith Trebell, Mrs. Jennie Campbell and Mrs. Tommy Simpson of Estero.
Sunday October 24, Jesse E. Putnam attended the Mechanical Clinic, sponsored by the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, in Miami at the Urmey Hotel. The remarks were instructive, and urged economy in cleanliness and adjustments.
