DAVENPORT Plan
INCORPORATED
INDUSTRIAL INVESTMENT COM.
PANY HAS CAPITAL STOCK or
$500, 900.

Des MoiAes, Oct. 5.-The secretary
OF state filed today the Incorporation
papers of the Davenport Industrial In
vestment company, which in reality is
the Davenport plan" concerning
which there has been 80 much adver-
Using recently. The articles of incor-
poration provides for capital stock
LOT 100000. divided into 5000 shares Of
500 each. e
That the citizens Of Davenport have
confidence in their plan is evidenced
by the fact that accompanying the re-
quest for filing was check Of the
Greater Davenport committee for
$316.5o, state fee.
Accompanying the articles there IS
also an explanatory statement ss
follows:
1.-THE citizens of Davenport believing
thoroughly in the sound progress Of
their community and desiring TO- ad-
vance its material interests, set In
operation in January, 1911. an agency
known as the Greater Davenport com.
mitee, incorporated. It was designated
as the chief duty Of this committee to
induce the location in Davenport Of
such new Industries as would conserve
the general good and tend to increase
both the industrial and commercial
prestige OF the, city.
Believing further that many Indus
tries, whether located in Davenport Or
contemplating location in Davenport,
should he encouraged and supported
through investment in their securities,
the Greater Davenport committee, In
July, 1911, effected the organization Of
the Davenport Industrial Investment
Co, incorporated.
"The organization of this company
and its process OF operation constitute
a new departure In legitimate munich
pal promotion. Davenport is unalter-
ably opposed to the granting OF bon
uses of any character whatsoever to
industries Of any kind. Tho city's
progress has been steady end It's future
is too well assured to permit the CIV
ing away of money or land as an In
ducement to an employer of labor to
locate within its limits.
THE articles of incorporation, which
are made part Of this pamphlet, con-
stitute, therefore, what is to be known
hereafter as THE Davenport Plan. It
Is based upon sound financial princi.
pies and has been approved by all OF
Davcnport's financial institutions. 1t
provides a way to assist deserving In
dustries and obviates the necessity OF
a door-to-door canvass among business
men every time the location of new
industry Is advocated or assistance to
some local industry requested.
"Its capitalization of 100000 should
enable the company to invest many
times this amount by reason OF the
fact that actual Investment In secur1-
ties will be made and these securities
resold to private parties as soon as an
market is developed. The
citizens Of Davenport have selected
as the officers and directors OF the
Davenport Industrial 1nventment com
pany men in whom 1t has every conf
dence and to whose Judgment and dis
erection they are willing to trust the
material growth of their CITY,"

WANT homework
WITHIN CHURCH.
METHODIST CONFERENCE SEES
NEED OF AWAKENING AMONG
COMMUNICATES.

Toronto, Ont, Oct. Continuing
it's review of the accomplishments Of
Methodism Of the last ten years, and
the discussion Of the problems which
now confront the church, the Fourth
Ecumenical conference Of the denom
nation today turned its attention to
foreign missions.
For this branch of its work, as well
as those considered during the first
two days Of this decennial meeting. II
appeared that the need from the view.
point Of veteran workers, was as much
for greater spiritual awakening
within the church itself as fo- further
perfection of the mechanism of the or
CARNATIONS, whose membership totals
many millions.
Today's speakers emphasized, as
vitality important, the necessity OF
making the spirituality Of the present
members more intensive instead OF
seeking primarily the frightening OF
membership rolls.
Church union or "denominational
sythesis" was urged upon the dele.
gates again today, it being held that in
no other department of the church
work would it's economy Of service be
more felt than in that Of foreign mis-!
sions.
Universal Church Far OF.
It would mean vast savings in
money In men and women and there,
fore the work in that mission field
could be enormously increased. That
the church universal Is not near at
hand, however, despite the unions ef-
fected by Methodists and some other
denominations in Australia and else
where, was the assertion Of the Rev.
W. H. Fitchett. of the Methodist church
of Australia. "The universal church"
said Mr.. Fitchett, "has not yet been
built on earthly soil. It stands In the
realm Of faith, but not In the realm Of
history and I doubt II this gathering
realizes how distant 1t is"
The Rev. Simpson Johnson of Lon
don, secretary Of the Wesleyan Meth
odist conference, however, noted en-
couraging signs. 1.-THE people every
where are seeking opportunities of
working together" he said He noted q
great revival Of interest and enthusiasm
in foreign missions. Scheduled speak
ers and their topics for today's open
ing session were:
The Rev. T. H. Lewis. president of
the Methodist Protestant general con-
ference, Responsibility Of Methodism
In Worldwide Evangelism"
The lev. David Brook, South Port,
England, minister OF the United Meth
odist church, Mission to the Non
Christian Races"
Bishop William Burt Of Zurich,
Switzerland, Mission of Methodism to
the Latin Races"
The Rev. Thomas Hocart. Method
ism and France"
