GRUBB FACTORY
BEING IMPROVED

The C. H. Grubb Humane Stanton
works, manufactures OF barn equip
ment, are receiving several new i'm
provements. Two years ago Mr.. Grub
built an addition to the cement build
ing which was erected to manufac-
ture the barn implements and since
then the business has steadily in
creased making it necessary for a
third new building. The third struc-
ture is to be a warehouse, 70 feet by
40 feet three stories high, to be used
for storing the various manufactured
implements.
A blacksmith shop is also under
construction in addition to the ware
house. The two buildings and the one
built two years ago are all to be
ished in cement in the near future.
When the improvements are made the
factory will have increased it's effl-
cheney and the implements can then
be turned out much faster.

stead of stopping in the railway
yards the caboose had been brought

back which was caused by hitting a
timber as he fell.

46 RIDERS TO
TREATY PASS

The As amendments attached TO the
peace treaty by the foreign relations
committee passed into history when
the last one, a proposal by Senator
Moses, republican, of New Hampshire
to revise the voting strength IN the
league of nations, was consigned to
the discard by vote OF AZ to 80 at
Washington yesterday.
The senate then upset two more
proposed textual changes in the
treaty brought in by individual Sen
ators. One of them, presented by Sen
ator Sherman, republican, or illinois,
and proposing to write into the
treaty preamble a reference to the
deity, was laid on the table by vote
of 81 to II. The other, sponsored by
Senator johnson, republican, of Cali
fornia, as a new solution for voting
inequality in the league, was killed
outright by a vote OF 43 to So. A de-
termined group of senator's will
launch fight to eliminate the labor

labor organization as filled with peril
to American labor. When Senator
Sherman's amendment was con-
sidered, the debate got into the realm
of literature and religion, Mr. Sher-
man declaring Voltaire would have

and Senator Lodge, republican, OF
Massachusetts, replying with Mac

the chaplain's daily prayer in the SEN
ate chamber had accomplished any
improvement, he had been unable to
perceive it. He added that he did not
favor ''saddling, the Almighty with all
