DOUBLE CAPACITY NEXT YEAR
Plans Provide For the Building of New
Machine Shop, Dry Kilns Glue Room,
Power Plant and Storage Warehouses
Ground Is Already Broken.

At least one of the manufacturing
concerns of Kenosha is ready to back
its faith in good business prospects and
announcement is made that the Han
nahs Manufacturing company has made
plans for buildings to double the ca
pacity Of that company and the work
of building will be started just as soon
as the building season opens and it is
probable that the building operations
will cover the better part of a year.
Starting with the erection Of machine
room excavations for which have now
been made the company plans to extend
nearly every part Of the plant and the
plans include the building of eight new
one story, 85x120 feet, and adjoining it
will be four new dry kilns. These kilns
will be each 18xl20 feet in size. The
company installed its present kilns
seven years ago but the system now in
use has become Anticipated and the
plans for the coming year provide for
the installation of the latest kilns of
the Morton company. These, when com
}pleted, will give the company a capac-
! ity Of 10000 feet Of dry lumber daily.
The next building will be new power
plant and this plant will provide for a
change from steam to electric power
1t is the plan of the company to change
over the power of the entire plant as
rapidly as possible and electric units Of
the most modern kipd will re installed.
Another building is a glue room which
will be used for veneering. This build
ing will be two stories in height and
60x220 feet. With this space the bust
ness of the company may be greatly
enlarged. The last building in the new
plans is great storage warehouse two
stories in height and 6ox122 feet in
size.
We are planning to double the ca
pacity Of the plant, said L. T. Han
nahs In discussing the plans of the
company this morning I'VE appre-
ciate that this building work will take
some time but we expect to rush the
i
operations as much as possible. Growth
of the business along many lines has
made necessary these big additions to
the plant. We desire to take care of
the business in the best possible man
ner and in order to keep abreast Of the
growing business very large increase
in capacity has been demanded y
The Hannahs company has been
growing by leaps and bounds in the
past few years and the plant is now
one of the largest of the kind in the
country. Its growth has been a matter
Of especial interest to the people of
Kenosha on account Of the fact that it
has been the product of local brains and
local capital. The company hopes to
complete all of the new buildings
planned by the end of 1914. OF course
this large increase in the size of the
plant will bring corresponding in
crease in the number of men to be EN-
lployed by the company The company
has in recent months purchased land as
sites for the new buildings and no fur

the plans.

which compelled the Servians to give
up part of their conquests in Albania
Thus Servia lost her chance to get
seaport and remains a landlocked
power, her only outlet being through
the friendly Greek ports on the Ae-
gean sea.
But the Servian victories in Mace

lonika put an unexpected obstacle IN
the way of Austria's march to the
south No more could the dual mon

the land between that port and the

So the Balkan wars left the Servl-

Austria's continued hold on the north

While the immediate cause of Aus
tria-Hungary' attack on Servia is the
demand for reparation for the murder
of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and his wife, the duchess of Hohen-
berg, the ultimate causes are the
movement of the Hapsburg empire
toward the south and the desperate
efforts of the entire Serb race to re-
gain complete national existence.
Ever since the repulse of the Turk
ish army from Vienna in 1888 the Aus
TRANS have steadily fought their way
southwark, expecting ultimately to
make their way to the Aegean over
the ruins of the Turkish empire. Aus
tria, like Russia, was not unwilling to
see small buffer states set up to &C
cupy the middle ground during the In
tervals of rest in her forward move
ment, and so most of the Balkan
states of today came into being.
Of the Servian race, which in the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
ruled a vast empire, extending over
the western half of the Balkan PENN
Eula and the eastern coast of the Ad-
Ratio, practically all had come under
Turkish domination in the sixteenth
century. The Serbs of the hinterland
of Istria and Dalmatia were soon TAX
en- from Turkey by Austria, and Mon
tenegro won it's independence. This
left the Serbs of Bosnia, the Herzego-
vina and Servia proper, as well as OF
the Sanjak of Now Bazaar and North
ern Macedonia, still under Turkish
rule.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerV-
Gus, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and I both loved coffee and
thought it was bracer." (Deluslon}
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
When we made it right we Liked

Austria's Seizure Of Bosnia.
The consequence of this was a four

spent large amounts of money on the
country, but never allowed it auton-

cuse the constitutional revolution in
Turkey, which would require dele
gates to the Turkish parliament to
come from these two states, which
were actually in Austrian hands, the
Hapsburg monarchy formally annexed

is Not Popular.
London.-Four great powers of Eu-
rope, Austria-Hungary, Russia, France
and Germany, are engaged in actual
warfare. Two Of them, Germany and
France, have not openly declared war
against each other, as far as is known
here and have not even severed dip
lomatic relations. This is despite the
fact that Germany's ultimatum to
France, either has been ignored or re
jected.
The explanation of this would ap-
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus of bringing on a war
that may plunge all Europe into
bloOdshed. In fact, while the Nations
of Europe are fSing at each others
Threats, they are vieing with each
ether in protecting their desire tc
maintain peace.
In this curious situation, France
according to British opinion has the
strongest justification. She was the
last to mobilize and seems to have
taken the greatest precautions tt
avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand Germany, in add
ton to invading French territory with
out making formal declaration O.
