That's Ahe way the governors of the two states settled the question of which state excelled in corn growing. But just a moment, are ma-J chines the cause of all our trouble? There are two sides to that question, and one cannot discuss it intelligently without some familiarity with all phases. If built by hand labor a type- j writer would cost about $1,000.. Who then could afford to use type-! writers? Most of us would be writing as our grandfather wrote, and few men would have jobs manu-[ facturing typewriters. The crowd has been orderly and | cheerful and so far no accidents have occurred, which speaks well for all. Don’t mar the big week, with tragedies and troubles and by. using common sense everything j should continue to go along smoothly. Clinton street in Fort Wayne is now opened to traffic. The thoroughfare connects with U. S. road 27 and the opening of the street under the Pennsylvania tracks will not only serve Fort Wayne, but will be used by northern Indiana motorists. A civic celebration marked the formal opening yesterday. We have heard many people say they thought the street fair should be cut to a five-day program, meaning that the opening should be held on Tuesday night and running until Saturday. The suggestion is worthy of consideration in planning future fairs. Setting up

of the tented city would not start unit Tuesday morning, giving Monday for a regular trade day. The city street department and firemen will swing into action im mediately after the midway is closed Saturday night and will endeavor to keep up with their former year's records of having Second street cleaned and opened to traffic early Sunday morning. As soon as stakes are pulled the boys will start the job of getting things back to normal. Their efforts are i appreciated. -- City officials are seriously considering the systematic marking of the streets throughout town. Estimates are being obtained on the cost and the item may be included in the budget for next year. At present none of the streets are designated and although local residents know where Third street, Mercer avenue or Johns street are located, the visitor or stranger does not have any idea and must stop and ask someone. Attractive signs can be placed at the corners and the street names and block numbers given. The need for such markings has been mentioed by many local people and yesterday a woman visitor from California, after paying tribute to the progress of the city and its good appearance, said she had only one suggestion to make and that was !to have the streets named and numbered. Many new residents are moving to Decatur and the marking of the streets seems a necessary step in the growth of | the city. I MACHINES CREATE !EMPLOYMENT: 1 When you watch the course of operations in a modern indusrty it is easy to come to the false conI elusion that machines cause unemi ployment. As you watch a machine do the w-ork of a dozen or I more men. and do it quickly and efficiently, you conclude that the problem or unemployment will con- | tinue to vex our nation. A motorcar which now costs ! S6OO if built according to the old time, machine shop, hand labor methods would cost at least $3,500 explains one industrialist who knows what he is talking about. Who then could buy motor cars if they were priced at such a figure? Only the few, only the very wealthy. And as a result there would be few cars and few men employed in their manufacture. You can continue the list to include almost all of the things of modern civilization. There would be no electric stoves, very few furnace heated homes, and very meagre home furnishings if the use of modern machinery were seriously restricted. The rapid development of the machine may create social and economic problems, but by and

Does The Wife Want You To Fix Something? Is the insulation off the cord of the electric iron? Is there a leak in the tin roof of the garage? Does the hack porch need a coat of paint? Is there a crack over the cellar window? Did you get the wrong screens in the wrong windows this summer for lack of simple thumb tack numbers? Is there one squeaky stair tread? Is the concrete walk cracked? Does water ooze into the cellar after a hard \ rain? Does the closet door stick in wet weather? Is there a broken sash cord in the attic window? Is the paper peeling off in Willie's room? Does the laundry tub faucet leak? Would some rock wool in the ceiling of the second floor make the upstairs sleepable ou hot nights? Whether you own or lease your home, no matter if it Is a house or an apartment, there are always some odd repair jobs cropping up that it is more convenient and satisfactory to do yourself than to hire someone else, or notify the landlord and wait for liis agent to do the work.
