IN A WORLD OF MACHINERY.
Thought That Strikes One Who Goes
Round the Clock

After taking an exhaustive survey of
life one is led to the conclusion that the
machinery business would be a pretty
good line to be in!
Figure it out for yourself.
You get up in the morning, array
yourself in garments built from ma

made breakfast food, drink some ma
chine cut coffee, read newspaper that
remarkable machinery. has made pos
sible, take a machine known as a street
car to your Office building, where an
1 elevating mechanism HOSTS you to the
/ floor on which you mechanically 60
through the days tasks.
4 You can write your letters by dictat
II ing them to machine from which a
4 girl pounds them out on another ma
i chine. A little eontraption standing on
/ your desk carries your voice to various
| parts of the city and brings the CONVEX
/ sation of friends and business acquain
tances to your ear. On dark days you
illuminate the gloom by electric light,
generated in vast machine driven pow
er plant.
At night some friend takes you home
in a four-wheeled machine which is a
mechanical marvel-it gets such start
lingly enormous mileage from gallon
of gas, at least to hear said friend tell
about it. You read another newspaper
also printed on machinery, of course
For the evening meal you have soup
skillfully canned by some mechanical
process, some other canned goods, and
ice cream made by lot of machinery
in big plant. Then you go to movie
where mechanism produces q drama OF
a silver screen for your benefit. You
finally hop into bed assembled from ;
lot of parts made by machinery.
No wonder the machinery busines
looks like good line to get into. N
wonder man often gets into the hab;
Of thinking he's a good deal of ma

residences which attract the traveller and
often clinch the home seeker. At the
same time, one Of the poorest towns from
standpoint of progress and prosperity
is the town which is made up of people
who have retired to live therein be-
cause it is quiet and restful spot. No
town can be truly attractive which hasn't
enough specimens of active business men
to take pride therein and push for pro-
gress.
A town is judged by its newspaper
specimens. Prosperous, newsy sheets
which show that there are not only live
men at the helm but that every member
of the community is on the staff of the
newspaper by virtue of their community
pride and their belief in the pulling pow
err of good publicity such newspapers
are not only community assets but goot
community advertisements
Schools, churches, community halls OIL
houses, theaters, etc-how these all re
feet the town and its character. How
they attract or repel, when it comes t.
home choosing! How essential they ART
to the real home and community life o
the town. Yet, in the end, it really get
down to the human specimens who maxi
up that community and who alone car
make it go" or clog its wheels SO i
stops, stands still and moulders away.
Good enough. Let's have the right sor
of men and women, clean, upright, de
| Gently dressed, patriotic and publicspirit
ed, believing everlastingly in the tow
and its future, and the future of tina
town is just as certain as the rising an,
setting of the sun.
! Give us first the human specimen an,
the community melting-pot will do tn
rest.

STRENGTH OF THE NATION.

Timid ones who fear that the red
tlagers in this country might get the
upper hand of the civil authorities
will be treasured by the experience at
Omaha. Gen. Wood. who had charge
of the military there in restoring or
der after the disgraceful mob riots.
speaks these words in praise of the
fine conduct of the American Legion.
md what the soldiers did at Omaha
they can be depended upon to do else
where whenever occasion demands:
The American Legion responded

deputiZcd as special police. These
We're all well trained men who had
taken part III the late war and were,

splendid illustration of American citi-
zens rising in defense Of their homes ::

training and experience. They We're

which involve d direct reputation OF
contracts entered into between en-
ployer and employee. and the employ
er is helpless. He cannot make men
fulfill their written obligations who
deliberately choose to violate their
obligations. and he has no redress. :
In spite OF the most solemn agree
ments a strike can be called for the
most trivial of reasons or for no rea-
son at all: vast private injury may
result and equally great public harm
may follow: but if the members of
the union insist upon disregarding the
plain terms Of their contract their de-
cison is final. They demand the right
OF collective bargaining. but they re-
fuse to accept the principle of collcc-
tive responsibility.
That is the basis of most of the an
tagoniSm to organized labor. and both
here and in Great Britain organized
labor is engaged in demonstrating
that it does not regard the employer
OF the public or government itself as
having any rights that it is bound to
respect
AS long rs it maintains that a41i-
tude the corporation that insists on
the open shop regardless of every
other consideration is sure TO find
plenty of sympathizers.

OUR EXPORT DEMAND.

Exports OF finished manufactures
from the United States in the first year
of peace will aggregate four times as
much as in the year before the war. An
analysis by the National City Bank OF
New York OF the foreign trade during
the eight months of the current calen.
dar year shows that the exports of
finished manufactures continue to eX-
pand, though that Of manufactures for
further use in manufacturing" shows a
slight decline.
The total value of finished manufac-
TIRES exported in the eight months end
ing with August. 1919. is 81 500. OO0, 600
against S1,361 100000 in the cores
pOnding months of 1918 and $422OOO.-
Geo in the same months of 1914 the
total for the eight months of the cur
rent year being thus four times as much
as in the same months preceding the
war.

manufacturing. which include such ar
ticles as pig copper. pig iron, steel bars
and billets. and other partly manufac
tured material. of Il class chiefly con-
sumed in Europe. show Il slight fall off.
the total for the eight months ending

months of last year, 1857 100000 in the
corresponding months of the preceding
year. and S241 100000 in the same
months of 1914. Quite naturally the
movement OF this class Of partly manu-
featured material, chiefly consumed in
Europe. has not been us great since
the demands of that continent. which
We're extreme during the war. have

Fix Roads for Winter Now.

Preparation OF roads for winter
should now become the chief consider
alton Of road officials, says the Iowa
highway commission. ~Culverts, side
bitches and all drain outlets should be
opened up so that water from the fall
rains can >get away from the road
grade as quickly as possible Where
new road construction is in progress
every effort should be made to have
the newly placed dirt placed in layers
and the center of the roadway Mt all
times kept in such shape that in case
of rain-the wafer will drain off and
not soak down into the new grades.
The commission points out to town
ship road officials that it is undesir-
able to tear up well packed roads with
either blade grader or scraper outfits.
At best there is not likely to be more
than four of five weeks of road work
ing weather and this short time
should be devoted to placing the
roads in condition for winter rather
than amy attempt at new construction.
When the alternate thawing and
freezing begins draggers should be
urged to keep their road in the best
possible condition and use every pos
siblc effort to have the road freeze up
perfectly smooth. No road mainte-
nance work, especially no road drag
gins, gives better returns for the
money expended than such work done
in the last few weeks or days before
the final freeze up. A well dragged
road that freezes up perfectly smooth
is just as good as, a city pavement all
winter long and when the spring break
up comes it will be in far better condi-
ton to Withstand the alternate fIeeZ-
ing and thawing than the road which
froze up full of ruts and pockets in
which the snow and water lodges.
