NEW sEvo PLANT LARGE ONE.
Conceived and Erected by Anheuser-
Busch to Aid in Promotion Of
Sane Temperance Policy.

| The completion of the new $9,000,-
900 Bevo plant in st. Louis is a not
able war time 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-
mand for the highly meritorious non
alcoholic beverage perfected under
the personal supervision Of August A.
Busch, president of Anheuser-Busch,
who succeeds his father, the late
Adolph Busch, as head Of the many
tgreat Anheuser-Busch industrial in
situations.
After years of scientific experiments
and original research, Bevo was Gre
ated for two purposes: as an aid to
the promotion of Mr.. Busch's plans
in America, based upon education and
supply the public with the highest
quality Of non-alcoholic beverage that
science and manufacturing skill could
produce. Bevo has been a positive
aid to the government in carrying out
its military temperance program, for
lit has become the favorite beverage
OF the army and navy, and is used ex-
tensively on battleships and in can
tonments with the approval Of the
heads Of the navy and war depart
ments.
The Busch-sulzer Bros. Diesel En-
CINE Co.. 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-
otto duty of American manufacturers
to operate their plants for the benefit
of the government during the war, and
that private profits should be entirely
Or largely eliminated.
The historic Grants Farm, upon
which General Grant lived and labor
ed before the outbreak Of the civil
war, and where all his children but
one were born, is now Mr.. Busch's
country estate, and is maintained in
the highest state of cultivation, not
only as memorial to General Grant,
but also for the raising Of fine live
stock and experimental scientific
farming.
Besides being president of the An
lleuser-Busch Brewing association,
the largest industry of it's kind in the
world, Mr.. Busch is interested in many
enterprises, including farming, stock
raising, banking, manufacturing and
railroading. He is also a member Of
the executive committee Of the St.
Louis branch of the National Security
league, which is actively engaged in
work in connection with the prosecu-
ton of the war.

teen years of age he was converted at
a camp meeting in Wisconsin and
united with the Methodist church, and
for nearly sixty years he has been a
faithful and devout member. For a
number Of years he was superintend-

as class leader for more than twenty
years.
Nearly all Of his adult life he was
a practicing veterinarian. During the
earlier years he combined this pro.
fession with farming. later turning
the farming over to his sons.
For some two years before his
death he had suffered much and just
seven months ago he underwent an op-
GRAFTON at Rochester, from which the
relief was only temporary. For all
these months he has been attended by
a trained nurse, and everything pos
sible was done to relieve him, but to
no avail. His suffering was great, but
he bore it with wonderful fortitude
and patience. In the beauty and quiet
of the early Sabbath morning he
ceased to live in the flesh and passed
quietly away. He leaves to mourn
his departure, his devoted companion
of more than fifty years, his nine chill
dren and many grandchildren and
great grandchildren, besides a host Of
old friends and neighbors.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church on Tuesday at 200

the remains were taken to Dow City
for interment.

THE WoRkINGMAN's PARADISE

German propaganda has always
dwelt upon the lovely paternal policy
of the kaiser's government, and its
watchful care for the happiness and
welfare of its people. We have heard
much about their social insurance like
old age pensions.
Recent figures show that average
wages in Germany before the war
among the wood workers, a typical
industry, were $500 a week. Their
old age pension ran from $1S.5S to
$4S.45 per year. The federal farm
loan banks were useful only to the
reasonably comfortable middle class
farmers.
Working hours in Germany average
much longer than ours. Mighty few
of our working people would change
conditions here for those in kaiser
dom. Yet so skillful and far reaching
has German publicity stuff been, that
most people thought the kaiser had
gone far beyond our country in his
careful insurance against poverty. 1t
all goes to prove the value Of adver-
Using, but as in other fields of bust
ness, the advertiser has to back up
his goods.

That unless our wheat goes to the

That we should eat our extra bushel

That potatoes may be eaten three

eaten instead of bread.
That they are very valuable food
That in connection with corn and

NATIONAL, ..EEFictENcY.

Industrial production is a science,
and in the world competition we must
meet nations who conduct it on sci.
entific basis. We have in the past
worked on a traditional and haphaz.
ard basis. If a mechanical or agricul-
| tural method was handed down by the
fathers, it became fixed for many
years. There were not many produc-
ers who would analyZe it to its ele-
mental principles to find if it was cor
rect
There has been a lack of technical
schools to impart to young men the
most careful preparation for the me-
chanical arts. There was lack of
research to standardize formulas and
processes of production. And most
young men have not thought it neces-
sary to pursue such courses of tech
nical study as were within their reach.
In MANY lines now there are works of
technical information available. But
the majority of young men engaging
in these callings do not study these
sources of information.
Recent years, it is true, have shown
a marked trend toward better method
and science. Many factories that used
to buy raw materials by guess work
and get cheated half the time, now de-
pend on laboratory tests. Thereby
they get product that they can de-
pend upon.
If we are going to make shoes or
steel, or raise potatoes, we need to
know all there is to know about shoes
and steel or potatoes. We need to
understand all the constituents Of our
raw material, how it tends to vary
from standard form, what defects it
is likely to suffer from, how it will
work under all conditions.
This spirit of patient indefatigable
inves tigation of detail, of research for
complete information about processes
and materials, is necessary to any ma
tional efficiency. The people who are
winning today are those who have
caught this idea of patient intensive
,, study-of all sources OF information
about their work.
