A Book of Importance

The eagerly expected book, Industrial Democracy" by Glenn Plumb and William c. Roylance, is ready for distribu- ton. This work is already spoken of as the most import ant contribution to economic science since Henry George wrote @Progress and Poverty" The eminent writer, Charles Edward Russell, says that it is "the most fascinating writing on any economic subject that we have had from any source in the last 20 years"
 This new book contains a brilliant analysis of industrial organizations, past and present. It shows how the profit mo- tive has interfered to prevent the establishment of industrial justice and the achievement of economic efficiency. -.-
 The authors claim for this plan is that 1t will solve the per plexing problems of wages, working conditions, transporta-

Vicious Bonus System
 Revived by Santa Fe

Topeka, Kan, July 7.-The anti union Santa Fe railroad will revive the bonus system, and more turmoil among strikebreaking shop men is predicted.
 The management is desperate be- cause of failing equipment. Crops are ready to move. but cars are not being repaired. In May the freight car de- partment turned out 8o less cars than in March A recent report by this department shows that I,I7o workers of all kinds are employed, as com pared with 75o prior to July I, 1922, when the shop men suspended work.
 But with this large increase in the freight department, there is a so per cent. decrease In output.
 The bonus system means favoritism and development of all the petty spites and small meanness that a certain kind of foremen are capable of. Concessions will be awarded fa- vorites and the high mark set by one man will be considered the standard for all employees.

STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE

Frank Barcal of the Cody neighbor-
hood remembered the Pioneer with 1t
most generous portion Of most luscious
~everbearing strawberries grown Oh
his farm. The berries were nice biz
red ones, in fact they were the finest
berries we have seer this season, and
the first home grown ones. Mr.. Bar
cal says they are enjoying strawberry
shortcake quite frequently at his home
and thought that we would also en-
Joy one so sent us the berries, fol
which he has our thanks.
Berries certainly grow to perfection
in this county and there is no good
reason why Mellette county should
not grow all of this luscious fruit
that can possibly be used within her
borders and have a surplus to ship
to nearby markets. We are in hopes
that the activities Of u Strawberry
Club girls viii give quite an impetus to
the strawberry industry in this county

Officers Scout Story
OF Man duplicating
Wife in Murder Plot

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. T.
Authorities said today they placed
little credence in the statement cred
tied to Arthur Jones, 35, to the eff
feet that his wife, Ada West Jones,
81, knew something about the death
Of Hyatt A. Grissom, Greensboro,
N. c., druggist, whose body was
found in a creek near here last Feb
ruary. The couple, giving Column
bus, Ohio, as their home, are being
held in the county Jail here pending
further investigation.
Jailer Al Tucker quoted the wom-
an as saying she knew nothing
about the matter and that her hus-
band must be crazy" Jones de-
clined to be interviewed by re-
pocters.
While Jones was being held in the
Orlando Jail on disorderly conduct
charges, he is alleged to have told
the authorities there that his wife
,:new all about the Grissom case"
Mrs. Jones said She had left her
husband on several occasions, the
EAST time about a month ago, and be-
cause she refused to return to him
he had devised plan to bring about
her arrest.
Grissom's automobile was found
submerged in the creek at the end
of a blind road last January IS. His
body was recovered a month later.
The belief was expressed that ne

THAT is just the trouble, she
walled. ''The poor boy seems TO IKE
his wife's cooking, but L know What
is good for him. He has a dellcate
stomach, and should have plain, nu-
tritious dishes, instead of the tiuo'
d1bby food she gives him to eat.
This little story from real life Is
humorous or pathetic as you see It,
and you will laugh over it or cry
over it according to whether you
have married children or not. But In
it YOU will find the very crux or
one of the greatest problems IN the
world. And that IS why good, k1na'
motherly women so often look upon
their daughterS-in-laW with susp--
cion and believe that the girls their
sors married are deliberately trying
to ruin them instead Of trying to
be good wives to them.
1t is not with intent and purpose
that a woman is antagonistic toward
her ughter-in-law. and the two
generally maintain merely an armed
n >utrality when not engaged in open
warfare Far from it. Every mother
would prefer to love her sons wife
and have her become really another
daughter, not only because peace IS
more pleasant than strife, but be-
cause she knows that the only way
that she can keep, her son is by
maintaining a friendly relationship
with his wife.
For. it is cruelty true that after
man is married, in ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred, his attitude
toward his mother is determined by
his wife's. If the wife likes his
mother and is of a generous nature.
she sees to it that he sends her
presents and helps her if she needs
help. But if The wife hates her
motherin-law, she weans her hus-
band away from the mother who
bore him. She encourages him to
neglect her and she raises such a
row when he gives his mother any
thing that he never sends her d
penny and excuses himself 20 his
own conscience by saying that his
first duty is to his wife and chill
dren.
Knowing all this, it would seem
that mothers would exhaust every
resource of diplomacy to get along

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

with her daughters-in-law. But they
don't. Simply because they can't.
The primitive instinct of the mother
the animal instinct to protect it's
young-rises UP in them and over
powers the sense of expediency and
all thoughts of their own safety.
For every mother looks upon her
son not only as a sort of archangel
but also as a helpless infant who
must be coddled, and protected, and
taken care Of; and when she sees
him married to a perfectly ordinary
human woman who not only treats
him as a plain man instead of as a
demigod, but who expects this au-
gust creature to prefer her above
himself, why, it is just too much for
mother.
She dons her war paint and rushes
to the rescue, regardless Of the con-
sequences to herself.
Not only this, but every mother
has a carefully cherished legend
about each of her children. She en-
dows this child with poor stomach
and she spends hours cooking spe-
cial dishes for it. She gives that one
weak lungs and swathes it in flan-
nels. She attributes nerves to an
other and walks on eggs to keep
from. irritating it, and excuses all
sorts Of bad temper on account Of
it's unfortunate neurotic condition.
So when these children get married
mother expects their wives to I'M
derstudy her and go on spelling them
and cultivating their little idiosyn-
crasies, and when the wives don't
do it, and expect great big husky
men to act like men instead of PAM
pered babies, it is not to be won
dered at that mother sheds bitter
tears over her poor prosecuted dar-
lings and feels like numbering the
women whom she regards in the light
of arch fiends.
At every wedding the bridegroom S
mother is always in tears. This is
because she feels that she is not only
losing her son, but she is turning
him over to the Philistines to be de-
spoiled. She is risking not only his
happiness, but his life. For what
does this foolish young creature,
whose brief life has been spent in
amusing herself, know about taking
care of a man? ..,.
Mother has spent from twenty-five
to thirty years catering to him, and
she knows just the things that agree
with him and the things that upset
his digestion, and so sh. shudders
as she thinks of his being left to the
tender mercies of bride who doesn't
know a thing about balanced rations
and vitamines, and whose bread may
be heavy, and who, likely as not, will
feed him on fancy salads and
whipped-cream desserts.
Nor can the ordinary mother pre-
vent herself from begrudging her
daughters-in-law every dollar she
spends. She just feels so sorry for
her poor little boy, who has to work
so hard to support strange woman.
And the worst of it all is that her
son likes his wife's cooking and en-.
joys spending money on his wife.
Talk about the human triangle!
The one that incloses the greatest
tragedy is that which is made of a
mother and her son and her daugh-
ter-in-law.
