HALF A MIND

A little school marm was telling
about speaking to the mother of a
pupil about her sons poor work in
school.

Half a mind! Therein lies the
trouble with many mothers.
When you're a half-a-mind mother
your children soon find it out and
when they discover the fact, how your
discipline will suffer!

talking.

Eddie grinned but shook his head.

James shambled.
What a contrast between the mothers
of these two boys, and how much bet

Occasionally you will change your
mind about something. In that case
it is wise to explain to your boy or
girl just why you did so.
Your children will respect you more
and you will be a more successful
parent if you are not the vacillating,
half-a-mind type. And the matter OF
discipline will be much easier and
pleasanter and everybody will be
happier.

ties" and contends that the word
strikes more terror into the hearts Of
evil-doers than the mere name, Marshal
Furgeson.
Next in rank to 'the authorities"
in the diplomatic corps of the office,
come our advertisers: The proprietOrs
of the White Front Dry Goods store,
the Golden Eagle Clothing store, and
the Bee Hive. These men can come
nearer to debating the papers policy
than the bankers and politicians, who
are supposed to control country news
papers. Though we are charged with
being the organ of any of half a
dozen politicians whom we happen to
speak of kindly at various times, we
have little real use for politicians in
our office, and a business man who
brings In 60 or 20 dollars worth of
advertising every month has more in
f1uence with us than all the politicians
in the county. This is the situation
in most newspaper offices that sue
coed, and when any other situation
prevails, when politicians control edi-
tors, the newspapers don't pay well,
and sooner or later the politicians are
bankrupt.
The only person in town whom all
the merchants desire us to poke fun at
is Mail Order Petrie. Mail Order Petrie

thing out of town that he can buy a
penny cheaper than the home mer-
chant sells it. He is a Woodworking
man, so far as that goes, and so stingy
that he has been accused OF going
barefooted in the summer time to save
shoes. When he is sick he sends out
of town for patent medicines, and for
ten years he worked In his truck gar
den, fighting floods and droughts, bugs
and blight, to save something like a
hundred dollars, which he put in a
mail order bank in st. Louis. When 1t
failed he grinned at the fellows who
twitted him of his loss, and said:
"0h, come easy, go easyl"
A few years ago he subscribed to a
matrimonial paper, and n day he
appeared at the Office of the probate
judge with a mail order wife, who,
when they had been married a few
years, went to an orphan asylum and
got a mail order baby. We have had
considerable sport with Mail Order
Petrie, and he has become SO used to
it that he likes 1t.

and ~wages-takes from seven-tenths
to three fourths of the value of the
product.
Rent, royalties, interest and divi-
dends absorb something under thirty
per cent.
The figures are important because
they prove conclusively that the only
method by which labor can increase
its income is by increasing production.
Increased production does not neces-
sarily meal longer hours or harder
physical labor. Rather, it means labor
applied more intelligently; and prac-
tically, it means the elimination of
schemes for the conscious limitation
of output-duplication of labor and
soldering On the job.
The wrangle over the thirty per
cent that now goes to capital and
management will leave both sides
poorer, and will prevent the very
thing most desired-increased pro-
duction.
The statement has often been made
in this magazine that every invention
enriches the mass of the population a
h~undredfold more than it enriches the
inventor.
A labor saving device may temper
arily dislocate a few men, but it's real
and important result is to increase
the output of the nation, to increase
the stock of goods for division, and of
this stock labor takes three-fourths.
The people of a nation cannot divide
more than they produce.
There is no guaranteed standard of
living.
The standard is determined by the
united production of all the people.
In Russia at the present time the
standard consists of just the bare
necessities-in fact, it is said that the
death rate is appalling because there
is not wen enough food to sustain life.
Our standard in the United States is
high because we have a rich country,
the best tools of any nation in the
world, and probably the best manage
ment and the best labor.
The production here per person is
higher than anywhere else; the pro-
duct being greater we have more to
divide.
AS long as we keep this firmly in
mind and use it as a working basis
we are assured of prosperity and pro-
gress in which each one of us will
share.-By William A. Feather in the
Type Metal Magazine.

platform, peering into the faces OF
strangers. He is ever on the outlook
for crooks, though nothing more vio-
lent has happened In our county for
years than an assault and battery. But
Marshal Furgeson never relinquishes
his watch. In winter, clad in his blue
uniform and campaign hat, he is a ia

summer, without coat or vest, with
his big silver star on which is stamped
"Chief of Police" pinned to his sus-

WHERE NCOME GO

The gains to labor from industry
are appreciated only when it is real
lied that whenever a new factory is
built, a new invention marketed, or an
improvement made in any activity of
life, t~hree-fourths of the increased
output goes to labor.
This calculation is based on an ex-
haustive investigation made by the
National Bureau of Economic Re-
search, Inc, a semi-public body.
By Analysing the entire income of
the people of the United States the
bureau showed that in successful,

Eagle. the clerks in the Bee Hive, the
country crook who aspires to be a pro-

time seeing the sights of his country,
the college boys who wear funny
clothes and ribbons on their hats, and
the politicians, greedy for free adver-
Using.
Our business seems to outsiders to
be a cruel one, because we have tc
deal as mere business with such sacred
things as death and birth, the meeting
and parting of friends, and with TRACE
dies as well as with comedies.
Time and again we have been sur
prised at the charity Of u people.
They are always willing to forgive,
and be it man Or woman who takes a
misstep in our town-which is the
counterpart of hundreds of Americac
towns-if the offender shows that he
wishes to walk straight. a thousand
hands are stretched out to help him
and guide him. 1t is not true that
a mar or woman who makes q mis-
take is %eternally damned by his fel-
lows. If n persists in wrong after
the first misdeed it is not because
sheltering love and kindness were not
thrown around the wrongdoer. We
have In our town women who have
done wrong and have lived down their

ger at the homemade costumes of
the Plymouth Daughters when they
present 1.-THE Mikado' to pay for the
new pipe organ. Indeed, so used is
the town to our ways that when there
was great talk last winter about Mrs.
Frelingheysen for serving fresh straw
berries over the ice cream at her
luncheon in February, just after her
husband had gone through bankruptcy,
she called up Miss Larrabee, our so
ciety editor, on the telephone and
asked her to make a little item saying
that the Strawberries served by Mrs.
Frelingheysen at her luncheon were
not fresh. but merely sun-dried. This
We did gladly and printed her recipe.
So, gradually. without our intending
to establish it, a family %vernacular has
grown up in the paper which our peo-
pie understand, but which-like all
other family vernaculars-is Greek to
those outside the circle. Thus we say:
"Bill Parker is making his eighth
biennial distribution of cigars today
for a boy"
City papers would print it:
Born to Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Parker,
a baby boy.
Again we print this item:
Mrs. Merriman is getting ready to
lend her fern to the NortOns, June 15."
That doesn't mean anything, unless
you happen to know that Mrs. Merri-
man has the prettiest Boston fern in
town, and that no bow window is prop
erly decorated at any wedding without
that fern. In larger towns the same
Item would appear thus:

say of their evening diversion that

refreshments, playing progressive hell"

of the most important parsonage with
whom we have to deal. In what we
call social circles" the most impor-
