The completion Of the new e .OOO,
200 Beyo plant 10 81. Louis is { nota-
Pr wartime industrial achievement
The construction Of this plant, the
largest and most perfectly equipped
Of It's kind in the world, was made
necessary BY the extraordinary de-
mnnd for the highly meriiorious non
alcoholic beverage perfected under
the personal supervision Of August
A. Busch, president Of Anbeusef-
Busch, who succeeded his father, the
late Adolphus Busch, as head Of the
man great Anheuser- Busch industrial
institutions.
After years Of scientific expert
monts and original research, Bevo
was created for two purposes: as on
aid to the promotion of Mr.. Busch's
plans for a real, sane temperance
program in America, based upon edn-
cation and intelligent moral develop
ment; and TO supply the public with
the highest quality Of nOn-alcOholic
beverage that science and manufac-
turing skill could produce. Bevo has
been a positive aid TO the government
in carrying out its military temper
ance program, for it has become the
favoriie beverage of the army and
navy, and is used extensively on bat
tleships and in environments with the
approval Of the hends of the navy
and war departments.
The Busch Sul1er Bros. Diesel En-
CINE ca. of ST. Louis. Of which Mr.
Busch IS the principal owner and
president, has been engaged cOntinu-
ously and exclusively since America
entered the war in building engines of
the finest and most perfect type for
American submarines, airplanes and
the United States navy. Mr. Busch
takes the position that it is the patri-
otic duty Of American manufacturers
10 operate their plants for the benefit
81 the government during the war,
and that private profits should he
entirely or largely eliminated.
The historic Grants farm, upon
which General Grant lived and la
bored before the outbreak of the civil
war, and where all his children hut
one we're horn, is now Mr.. Busch's
country estate, and is maintained in
the highest state Of cultivation, not
only as n memorial to General Grant,
but also for the raising Of fine live
stock and experimental scientific
farming.

Immediately plans were formulated
in the Office of the war savings stamp
committee to have other newspapers
in Washington follow the lead taken
by The Herald through devising SINH

Totals compiled at the City Post
office last night proved the highest
ever obtained during a single day. On
an average 5000 worth of stamps are
sold at the Postoffice each day. Dur
ing The Herald's contest there have
been two and three times this number.
