Two Important Works.

Two important steps for enlarge
ment are to be undertaken by the
company. The first and immediate
work will be the construction of six
concrete and steel storage tanks on
the site of present warehouse on
johnson street. Three months time
will be consumed in building the
tanks.
These tanks will be of immense
proportions and the aggregate amount
of grain that can be placed in all of
them at time will be $4,000 bush
els. The present warehouse is to be
moved further back upon the prop
critics.

VIII Remodel Plant.

1t is believed that the six concrete
storage tanks will cost from $4,000
to $4,000 and that the new ware
house will entail an outlay of $4,000
or more. The tanks are to be equip
ped with elevators, and some new
machinery added to the plant. Con-
tracts for machinery and labor have
already been let Keokuk workmen
will be used in making the, changes
in this industrial area. Much of the
labor on the Davenport plant of the
company has been performed by
Keokuk workmen.
The improvement here is to be the
fourth since the present management
took charge ten years ago in August
At that time the manufacturing ca
pacity of the plant was about one
tenth what it is at the present time.

Increase Working Force.

When the additional structures are
completed, several months hehce.
the output of the company's products
will be increased twenty per cent, and
the working force increased proper
tionately.
Expansion of the plant at this time
is made necessary, not because OF
war demands, but because of normal
increase in business, Mr.. Rich said.

In the recent epidemic it was shown
as perhaps before the value of
carrying life insurance in connection
with building and loan. Many famil-

In all approximately $50, 900 were paid
out to b~eneficiaries whose relatives

death benefits were paid by one of the
best known of the long established

ATLANTIC COUNTY LIKELY
TO BE WITHOUT SENATOR.
This Will be the Case Unless Govern.
or Calls Special Election.

Atlantic County will be without rep
r%esentation in the State Senate at the
1919 session of the Legislature unless
Gov. Edge should call a special cleo
ton, which would cost the taxpayers
about 100000, and it is not considered
likely that he will do it.
In the face of three legal opinions
adverse to his claim as a Senator from
Atlantic County, Capt. Emerson Rich
ards at the caucus of Republican Sen
ators in the State House at Trenton
on Tuesday eliminated himself as q
candidate for the Presidency in the
State Senate which will carry with it
the acting Governorship. Following
the retirement of Mr.. Richards. who
remained in the caucus only long en-
ough to hear the death knell of his
hopes read, the caucus SHE'D at the
situation confronting it of electing
either Harold B. Wells of Burlington,
or William B.. Mackay, of Bergen, and
postponed further action for two
weeks. 1t was announced afterwards
that this was done in Difference to a
request from Senator Charles C. Pill
grim, of Essex, who had written that
he would be unable to attend the eau
Gus because of having a legal matter
to attend to before the Public Utility
Commission.
Attorney General Westcott, Demo-
crat. former Supreme Court Justice
Collins, and former Attorney General
Wilson, the last two Republicans, all
agreed in the opinions submitted to
the caucus by the Special Committee
appointed last week for this purpose
that Mr.. Richards was ineligible un-
der the Constitution to continue as a
State Senator.
Not only does he vacate his seat
in the Senate by an acceptance of
an appointment in the army" said
the Attorney General; "but l will not
take proceedings in the Courts to test
his rights for the Courts have no jul
risdiction in the matter; the Senate is
the sole judge of the qualifications of
it's own members.
81 have no doubt that upon the ac-
ceptance of this office or appointment
Mr.. Richards ceased to be a Senator of
New Jersey and that the Office there
upon became vacant. Nor could the
fact that Mr.. Richards might after
wards become released from his ser
vice by discharge affect this ques-
ton"
