BRYAN IS CORDIAL
TO NEW AMBASSADOR
Walter Hines Pages Criticism
Of the Secretary Fails to
Cause Breach.

Walter Hines Page. next American
ambassador to Great Britain, has
bridged the threatened breach with Sec
retary Of State Bryan. He called upon
the Commoner yesterday and emerged
from the council chamber smiling.
II was Mr.. Page who. as editor OF the
Worlds Work. published the opinion
that Mr.. Bryan was made Secretary of
State by President Wilson merely to
pay political debt" that he was not
regarded as a man to handle the foreign
affairs of the United States. and that
all international questions of policy
would be determined by the President
himself
1t was also added. as final fIltp
to the editorial. that all the amba.-
sadors and ministers of the United
States in foreign countries would take
their orders direct from the President
himself. not from Mr.. Ryan.
No III Feeling Left.
1t was expected that the President
himself would undertake the task of
bringing the two men together. but
Mr. Page himself called upon the secre-
tary of State Yesterday afternoon, and
was greeted cordially, according to re-
ports
Another significant act. as Indicating
the course of the relations existing he
tween the President and Mr. Bryan. is
that the Presiden thas agreed to allow
the new Counselor OF the State Depart
ment John Bassett Moore. whose nomi-
nation went to the Senate Yesterday to
act as head Of the department In the
absence OF Mr.. Bryan
May Cause Clash.

succeeding Huntington Wilson, is 10
be former Governor Osborne. Of Wy
oming. His nomination is understood
TO be ready ~ go TO the Senate Tues
day. Mr.. Osborne is one of the closest
political friends ana cronies of Mr..
Ryan, and :he latter selected him as
his aide.
Mr.. Moore's selection as counselor for
the State Department is Wilson
choice pure and simple. and Mr. Os-
borne may have something to say and
40 when the former tires to take the
re.ns from his hands when the Secre-
tary of State Is cut Of Washington
1t is understood, however that Prof.
Moore would not accept the post of
OF the department unless he
were regarded as the second man IN
the department.

GROWTH OF WAYNE
WORKS REMARKABLE
Each Year Sees New I'M
prOvements to Substan-
tial Concern.
ADD NEW BUILDINGS
Employ Three Hundred Men
Stock Increases to
$15O,OOO.
ADD NEW BUILDINGS

The Wayne Works, one Of Rich
mond's oldest and most substantial
factories, was organized in 1883, in
the two buildings bought from the old
Wayne Agricultural company, which
had failed in business. The first Of
ficers of the newly organized company
were William G. Scott, president;
Howard Campbell vice president; w.
w. Schultz, secretary; and E. B.
Clements, treasurer The only product
of the plant originally was a wheat
drill.
It's growth has been steady and con-
sentative, but nevertheless remark
able. Five new buildings have been
added to the plant, ten times the
original space is occupied by these
buildings and lumber yards, the CAPT
tai stock has increased from $4,000 to
$4,000, and they now manufacture
besides the corn planters, spring wag-
ons and automobiles. Three hundred
men are employed in the present plant.
The officers are e. B. Clements, presi-
dent and treasurer; Howard Campbell,
vice president; and Harry Land, secre-
tary.
All Kinds Of implements.
The list of farm implements which
are turned out by this plant is of very
great diversity and includes almost
every ordinary machine which the
farmer can find use for The list in
cludes single disc drills, double disc
drills, hoe drills, disc press drills, five
disc drills, five-hoe drills, agitator SOW
ers, wide track sewers, narrow track
sewers, seeders, corn planters, cotton
planters, corn drills, cotton drills, feed
cutters and hay rakes.
The list of wagons and conveyances
is fully as large, being composed of
road carts, light driving wagons, buck
wagons, three spring wagons, combi-
nation spring wagons. full platform
spring wagons, three-seated livery
hacks, depot hacks, school hacks, milk
wagons, runabout wagons, delivery
wagons. express wagons, market gard
eners wagons, and full platform drays.
Makes Motor Car.
This list of articles would alone suf-
flee to make a successful factory, but
in addition to this the Richmond motor
cars are manufactured by this firm.
This car is a credit to the firm and
has some distinctive features. They
are equipped with electric starters. A
mechanical air pump which can be
connected to the engine, will supply
necessary air to pump up tires. The
New Departure ball bearings which
are used in the construction of the
car is one of the features which
makes the car extremely efficient. The
engine of the car is of four-c cylinder,
made of the best gray iron containing
25 per cent steel.
The clutch used on the car Is of the
Wayne Works design, of the inverted
cone type, the simplest and strongest
type. 1t renders engagement easy so
that it takes hold smoothly, powerful
ly. and without jerking. The shaft
driving system is also of Richmond"
design, and is extremely strong and
simple.
The Richmond" automobiles are
made in two models, one thirty and
the other forty-horse power. The
equipment is complete and the entire
ear presents a very creditable appear
ance.

WATER IS FTENED
BY FETTA PRODUCT
Machine Said to be Capable
of Removing Ingredients
From Water.

The Fetta Water Sofftener company
was incorporated about six years ago
and capitalized for $4,000. At that
time all over the world more sanitary
and healthful water conditions were
being advocated and laws were passed
requiring cities to purify the water
supply.
AS a result of this reform inventors
evolved a way of softening and purify
ing water.
Water as it comes from streams,
wells and all other sources penetrates
through formations and in it's natural
course takes up in one form or another
the various forms of hardening sub
stance-some of which are injurious
to health. This water is what is term
ed and understood to be hard water.
Hardness in water is caused by the
presence of soluable and insoluable
solids of lime, magnesia, iron, and
forms of aluminium. Divided into two
classes, one is soluable in water it.
self and the other is only soluable
where carbon dioxide gas is present
Most towns and cities are amply
supplied by the'local water works COM
lions of water which is either pumped
from river, lake or wells, and in near
ly all cases it is found to contain an
excessive amount of hardness for prac-
teal use in the home.
The Fetta Water Softener is said to
be capable of overcoming all objection
able features of supplying softened
water.
Manv Used Here
Nearly every factory in Richmond
has Fetta Water Softener
Richmond has more water softeners
installed in it's homes and factories
than any other city in the United
States, it is said.
In addition to water softener ma
chimes the Fetta company manufac-
lures all kinds of netherlands and
watering fountains. The feature of
these tanks is that they are all made
of ten-guage steel, all joints are weld
ed and in any size to suit require
ments.
Welded tanks are made of high
grade steel, refined iron or galvanized
plate. Round and square end tanks,
wagon, storage, gasoline. house stor-
age and round and square end tanks,
square end pans, hog feed and chicken
| feed troughS and farm tanks for every
purpose.
The real value of heater tanks and
| fountains lies in their practicability
the year round doubling the results in
fattening hogs and preserving cattle
during the winter season.

The other half of the store, conduct
ed by Walter Runge, is devoted to mu-
sic and musical instruments. Mr..
Runge has had charge of the music
store for three years. On the south
wall of the room are songs ranging
from In My Harem" to "Oh, You
Million Dollar DOLL" Although hand
ling the popular music, Mr. Runge spe-
cialiZes on classical works.
Runge's orchestra is well known to
the citizens of Richmond, having ap-
peared at the chautauquas and fur
nshing music at the theatres. Mr..
Runge states that he will arrange to
furnish dance music this winter. Ac-
cording to his plans Runge's orches-
ira will be divided to furnish either
piano and drums or as many instru-
ments as the dancers want.
Runge and Martin have concentrat-
ed on music and are pushing 1t hard
in their store where the music lover
will find everything from violin strings
and bridges to Oratorios by Wagner
and records, sung by Caruso.
