WITH THE ADVENT of September we are reminded that in a few short weeks cooler weather can be expected. Though there have been several very warm days, the summer has been made pleasant by refreshing breezes from over the Gulf. Because of these Gulf winds, Estero is a cooler place to spend the summer than some of the beach resorts in states farther north. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Kader and children of Fort Myers visited here recently, looking over the Unity grounds. They were delighted with the beauty and well-kept appearance of the gardens. Miss. Meta Monsees motored here from Fort Myers on Sunday, July twenty-third, to visit with friends. Miss Genevieve Bisbing, who had been spending the week here, returned with her in the evening. Brother Max Arendt accompanied them to Fort Myers, where he remained for the week-end. Sister Etta Silverfriend, Mrs. Edith Lueders, and Brothers Henry Silverfriend, Frank Wilson, and David Richards spent an afternoon at Bonita Beach. Sister Orline Thacher visited for two days v^ith Mrs. Lillian Rugg. Sisters Barbara Ehrisman, Bella Armour, Emily Bessemer and Vesta Newcomb, Mrs. Katherine Church and Brother Alfred Christensen motored to Naples, July twenty-seventh. Sister Emma Norton and Miss Alwina Lorbeer spent a pleasant day at Bonita Beach on the twentyeighth. Brothers Alien Andrews and Lou Staton motored to Alva on the thirtieth to visit with Mr. Charles Seagraves and family. Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Lewis of Everglades spent a week here at their home on the Tamiami Trail. They brightened the community life during their visit, entertaining in their home and with. a picnic at Bonita Beach. The latter affair was a wiener-roast, in which a large number from the Unity joined. Mr. Klahr and. Mr. Stephen Gotch of Osprey were visitors, here Thursday, August third. They remained over-night and returned to Osprey on Friday. Mr. Gotch has visited here a number of times and seems quite interested in the Koreshan Cosmogony and religion. Mr. LeRoy L'Amoreaux of Estero Island was here for dinner on the eighth. He has a farm on the Island, where he is raising a large crop of papayas. Dr. and Mrs. Edward von Maltzahn, residents at the Boomer place on River Bend, left on the sixteenth for Miami and Key West, expecting to go on to the West Indies for a month's cruise. Sisters Ella Graham, Barbara. Ehrisman and Florence Graham, and Brothers Jesse Putnam and Frank Wilson motored on Friday the eleventh to Miami where they had an enjoyable time visiting relatives and friends. They returned home Tuesday night. Operations are under way to install an electric refrigerating unit in the Unity store. This is an economy measure as power will be furnished by the Unity plant and the buying of ice is obviated. Miss Bertie Boomer returned on the twelfth from her visit to the Chicago Exposition. She took dinner at the Unity on the twentieth and described to many friends some of the wonderful things seen at the fair. Robert and Lloyd Graham of Miami' were there at the same time and they took in some of the sights together. While in Chicago, Sister Bertie stayed with Eleanore Castle. Brother Charles Faulkner celebrated his birthday anniversary on the fifteenth. Sister Ida Fischer baked a beautiful white cake as a surprise for him in honor of the occasion. Mrs. Arthur C. Kimball, Miss Frederica Martin and Mr. Solomon C. Martin of St. Louis, Missouri, stopped here for a tour of the Unity grounds on the sixteenth, while en route to Tampa. They expressed great pleasure in seeing such a varied collection of beautiful tropical plants. Mr. Martin spoke very highly of the Tea Garden and described the Unity gardens as being "one of the show places of Florida." Brother John Grier is at home again after spending the past. six weeks in Fort Myers at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Carlton Case, while she and her family attended the fair in Chicago and visited other northern points. Before returning here Brother John spent a week at Mrs. Lillian Rugg's, where he had the misfortune to fall, bruising his left eye. It is now much improved, we are glad to say. Brothers George Hunt, Theodore Naeselius, Peter Blem, Will Fischer and Claude Rahn have put a new roof of galvanized iron on the sawmill. Because of an impaired rheostat there was no electricity on Monday the twenty-first. Brothers Alien Andrews and Alfred Christensen took the rheostat to Tampa for repairs Monday morning and returned with it that night. On the way there Mr. Mesnikoff accompanied them as far as Osprey. Brother Lou Staton is preparing to double the number of papaya trees in the plot of ground he has devoted to the raising of fruits. He has enlarged the tract to accommodate more than two hundred trees. He plans to intersperse some mango, avocado, litchi, and Governor's plum trees among the papayas. By the number of blue eagle emblems displayed nearly everywhere, it would seem that a great many American citizens are at last "doing their part." The Koreshans have been doing their part right along— theirs being very different from the part played by those who live by the profiteering system.
