South paketa's Distinction.

I Travel: What state furnished the
talfest regiment in the United States
army In the great war? When that
question is answered We know In
what state Is the richest hundred
square miles on earth. South Da-
kota can answer both questions with
pride, and can boast Of her glorious
golden sunshine in the Black Hills,
as well as her golden metal and her
marvellous spring nirages. What
people but those resourceful inhabi-
tants of the Black Hills would have
thought to auction a flock Of wild
geese overhead for $500 for the Red
Gross; three tumbling weeds for a
hundred apiece-or to offer to bid

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
A DREAM PIcURE.

A DREAM PIcURE.
A little boat fo1ted out day
Where the musical ripples were all at play.
The sky blue sky could be
And the air was throb OF bird minstrelsy.
The flowers were sweet and the was fair
But the little boat remained not there
Yet drifted in happy dream,
A. the and the breeze kissed the stream
The banks grew steep and the waters wide,
While dark clouds gathered either side
And far in the distant flower gemmed track
Fond voices seemed calling Come back. come back
No flowers could be either side.
No spot where the storm-to waf could hide;
Still on in that restless, hurried sweep,
Tho rocks many, and waters deep
For the boat Life, and the stream called Time,
No rest was given in shade or shine
It'll 1t swept at last to the waiting sea.
And was safely moored in eternity.

MONEY CANNOT BE EATEN.

Money has no value except as medium OF
exchange and is useful only for what it Will OBJ
tain. One cannot eat it, or wear 1t or use IT 1or
bed It is symbol which represents what IS
produced by work, and is desirable only because
it can be exchanged for the commodities SO pro-
duced. A man shipwrecked on desert lslanf
is no better off for a pocketfull OF money be-
cause there is nothing there for which he can
exchange his money. He must depend upon ms
own labor to supply his wants and probably
will have to spend most of his labor to get 1000
to keep him alive His comforts will be few.
A fifty dollar bill is handy thing In winter
weather, becausee it will buy an overcoat; but
il is the coat, not the bill, which keeps one warm,
and printing ffty-dollar bills does not increase
the number of overcoats to be divided among
the people. The only way we can add to our
material comforts is by increasing the amount
of commodities which make for material COM
fort Increasing the supply of overcoats de
creases the number of people who are cold
Increased production for the world means
more production by the individuals who go TO
make up the world. That can be accomplish
ed only by efficient work on the part OF the IN
dividual, and the only honest basis on which the
amount of his reward can be reckoned is the
volume of efficient work which he has perform
ed. The greater amount of good work man
does the more money he should receive as pay
Systems founded on any other theory are unfair
tc the ambitious worker.
The slogan of labor should be efficiency and
production. Through that alone can working
people secure high wages and add to the mater
ial comforts Of their lives. Any other program
win lead to privation and suffering.
