Rock island Battery Company to
Capitalize at $75,.

SIXTY MEN TO BE EMPLOYED
Business Already Well Established in
West Part of the
City.

Almost without the knowledge OF
the people generally, and without as
sistance other than the investment
that enterprise and business judgment
of those interested had prompted
there is growing up in the down town
factory district of Rock Island what
promises to be one of the leading in
dustries of this entire community.
Something like year ago mention
was made in The Argus of the forma-
ton in a small way of a company
whose object was to be the manufac-
ture of dry batteries of all descrip-
tons. The enterprise was more ex-
detrimental than otherwise. and it has
been feeling its way along since, until
today it is in a way to embark as the
Rock Island Battery company with
capital of $4,000. being well estab-
ing, where in the near future a force
of 60 men will be employed.
While, as said, the company Nls
been going along in a moderate way
so far, the growing nature of the I'M
dertaking has been such that by Feb.
the capacity of the factory will be
from 5000 to 5000 batteries per day.
Has Extensive Contracts.
Already extensive contracts have
been closed in various parts of the
country, and there is every indication
that by next summer the daily output
will be many times that number.
The company is manufacturing al
descriptions of dry batteries such as
are used for telephones. automobiles
gasoline engines. launches, door and
house bells. and surgical appliances.
The most skilled electricians who
have made tests of the batteries man
ufactured by the Rock Island company
pronounce them the best on the mar
ket.

cannot prove il to you. No man can.
You must make the experiment for
yourself. You must prove il yourself.
Here is q man with his eyes handaSed

will YOU do? There is no possible way
in which you can prove tie beauty or
the world to this man with baDdased

cry. "0pen your eyes and look. Trust
the evidence of your own senses. Then
You will believe" How does opening
tie eyelids alter the relation between
my eyes and the light? why, the slor-
ious revealing light comes in. a thing
it cannot DO to shut eyes. How does
breathing in alter the relation of my
lungs to the air? Why. it brings the

On, friend, you who are hungry and
thirsty and have tried in a thousand
way to find satisfaction and have
found it not. make another expert
ment-make the supreme venture or
faith. Try trusting in God to the ut
most. Surrender yourself to the guild
ance Of His divine will. l believe that
thus you will find strength, comfort,
satisfaction and that your faith shall
prove itself in the deep experiences OF
your life. You want me to prove to
you that prayer is effective and rea-
sonable. I will not try. l ask you.
rather, to prove it to yourself" Pray.
Talk to you Father. Listen to His
voice. Then you will no longer be ask
ing for proof that prayer ia effective.
You will have evidence in yourself.
There is q God and He is Jul Father,
and He reveals Himself end His love
to men: not to q few men. but to all
men. His spirit will bear witness with
your spirit if you will open the eyes
and ears of the spirit to hear and see.
Sorrows may encompass you, temp
tations may harass you, disappoint-
ments may come to you. Still trust,
poor soul; trust as never before. Trust
in the Lord and He shall bring it to
pass. Cast thy burden on the Lord and
He shall sustain thee. Out Of the
depths of the souls experience were
these words uttered. They can be
proved true in the deep experience CT
the soul to which they appeal.
