RENSSELAER FACTORY IS PROSPERING

History of Rensselaer Manufactufuring Company from Its Boginning to Dato, About a year ago tfhe Rensselaer Manufacturing Company was organized by local men with the assistance of Mr. R. M. Johnson of Chicago. At the time of the organl ation of the Company it was the intention to assemble trucks In connection with the manufacture of furniture in the new Company’s plant. With this idea in mind the Company procured the factory building, real estate and all equipment of the Columbia Furniture Company and thereby obtained an elegant factory site and factory building, containing more than forty thousand feet of floor space, located on the Monon railway and equipped with service switch, electric power, and all necessary machinery for the manufacture of furniture. The conditions created on account of the war rendered It impractical to attempt the assembling of trucks as originally Intended as no satisfactory arrangement could be made insuring the delivery of material and the Company turned Its attention to the manufacture of high-grade furniture and soon found that there was such a demand for it that they hud no time to develop the truck industry. The Company, through the earnest efforts of Its organizers, and especially Mr. Johnson, worked out designs of high-class furniture that has met the requirements of the most particular furniture dealers throughout the country and the industry has developed by leaps and bounds from the modest beginning of shipments amounting to less than three hundred dollars In the first month to over fifteen thousand dollars In the month of December, 1919. . * During this time the Company has increased the number of its employees up to forty men who are practically all highprice mechanics. The Company’s pay roll is distributed each two weeks, the largest amount of the pay roll so far amounting to approximately four thousand dollars. This money is being expended for the most part in Rensselaer and as the factory’s output is sold to the outside world the money is all brought into the community by tho Company from outside sources and would never reach Rensselaer were it not for the existence of this factory. \ The growth of the Company under the careful and efficient management of its organizers has been most phenominal, and Rensselaer is now beginning to realize the Importance of this industry and to appreciate Its value to the community. Since starting the Company has built up Its entire business, worked out its lines of furniture, organized its own sales force, marketing its output and organizing and systematizing its factory force. All this has been accomplished with the results above mentioned and the Company now finds the demand greatly in excess of its factory capacity, being more than one hundred thousand dollars behind with the orders at this time and others being received daily faster than they can be filled. Mr. Johnson’s contract with the Company expired at the -end of the year and he found it necessary to give his attention to his other Interests. In his place the Company has been for’tunate, however, in procuring as its business manager, Mr. George W. Royster, wiho for a great many years has been connected with the International Harvester Company and immediately before coming here was in charge of that Company’s business as General Agent at Salt Lake City, Utah. . Mr. Royster has bought a farm near Rensselaer which he is improving and will convert into a modern country home, residing thereon and has become financially interested in the Rensselaer Manufacturing Company and will be an important factor in the further development and growth of this Company. We are glad to extend to the organizers of this local manufacturing plant our appreciation of their efforts and feel that this has become one of the most important and worthy enterprises of the community. ,

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

GERMAN ENVOY. TO ACCEPT LIST

Reprisals in Sight if Berlin Government Protects War Culprits, PARTY CHIEFS TO CONFER Berlin Lokal Anzelger Says Rumors That a Crisis Is Impending In the Government Are Without Foundation In Fact. London, Feb. 6. —“The list of war criminals demanded by the allies exceeds the worst expectations,” telegraphs the Manchester Guardian’s special correspondent at Berlin. “It is hardly an exaggeration to say It contains the name of almost every man prominent in Germany during the war —in a word, the leadership of the whole nation. One thing may be stated emphatically—lt Is out of the power of any conceivable German government to execute the allied x requlrements.” Paris, Feb. 6.—Dr. Wilhelm Mayer, German charge d’affaires at Paris, left Berlin for Paris with formal instructions to accept the allied note demanding extradition of persons accused of war crimes, says a dispatch from the German capital by way of Basle. The German government has summoned the chiefs of the various parties in the national assembly to convene Saturday, to discuss the question. Meanwhile, the dispatch adds, the government expects to be in possession of the exact text of the allied notes without which no decision can be taken. Disapprove of Lersner.

The German government disapproves of the attitude of Baron Kurt von Lersner in his refusal to transmit the list of Germans demanded for extradition to his government, .it was said by Foreign Minister Miller to M. De Marcilly, the French charge d'affaires in Berlin. Doctor Mayer, who returned to Germany after presenting himself to Premier Millerand recently, was summoned to Berlin from Munich by an urgent call, after the resignation of Baron von Lersner. What amounted to virtually a new note was sent to Berlin by the allies to be presented to the German government with the list of persons accused of war crimes, besides the original covering letter drawn up to accompany the list. The suggestion has been made in official circles here that If the Germans resist surrender of the accused, the latter may be tried by default. It is pointed out that while most of them never would undergo the penalties imposed by the court, It would be Impossible for them to leave Germany except for neutral countries. Might Prolong Occupation. Prolonged occupation of the left bank ,of the Rhine In case of refusal by the Germans to give up the accused is another suggestion made, it being recalled that the clause of the treaty relating to occupation provides the allied troops be withdrawn by stages, terminating the occupation in 15 years providing all clauses of the treaty are executed. Otherwise occupation may be prolonged indefinitely. This menace is counted upon to cause the German government to reflect before breaking any clause. The menace might or might not be carried out, but it is pointed out it would prevent the Germans from considering nonexecution of the extradition clause as a precedent for resisting the other clauses of the treaty. It was stated at the foreign office that the list of accused probably would be delivered to the German government either by M. De Marcilly, the French charge d’affaires in Berlin, or Lord Kilmarnock, the British charge, who is dean of the diplomatic officers In Berlin. It was said also that any list given out in Berlin up to the present could not be considered official. Rumors that a crisis was Impending In the government are said by the Lokal Anzeiger to be groundless. The cabinet members are in complete agreement on Germany’s policy, the newspaper avers.

HAD TO SPEND WEEKS IN BED

Gains Eighteen Pounds Taking Tan* lac—Hasn't Felt So Well Since She Was a Child. "I haven’t felt so perfectly well in every way since I was a girl, and I have gained eighteen pounds in weight since I commenced taking Tanlac,’’ said Mrs. W. I. Cabert, who lives at 206 Edmund street, Peoria, 111., the other day. “It certainly seems remarkable to me,” she continued, “that a few bottles of Tanlac could make such a wonderful change in my condition after everything else I had tried for nine long years had failed to help me at all. I suffered from a pain across the small of m£ back nearly all the time, and this trouble finally got so bad that I couldn’t walk up a short flight of steps without stop* ping to rest. If I tried to do a little work' around the house I would be laid up in bed for days from it, and my back would hurt ■me so bad I could hardly turn over in bed. My ctomaCh was in a bad condition., too, and everything I ate disagreed with me. z I would 'be nauseated after eating anything, and would often have severe cramping pains in the pit of my stomach. I was so nervous I couldn’t sleep well and many nights I would have to get up and sit in a chair for hours at a time, and nearly every morning I would get up with a raging headache. These troubles just kept getting worse all the time until I finally got to where I was hardly able to be up very long at a time and had to spend weeks in bed. “One day one of my neighbors came in and told me what great things Tanlac had done for her, and advised me to give it a trial, so 1 got my husband to get me a bottle and I commenced taking it. I can truthfully say that I felt better in just a few days after I began taking this wonderful medicine, and from that time on I improved every day. Now I an) as well and strong as I ever was in my life, and can do all my housework and family washing without the least trouble. Those awful headaches have left me entirely, and my nerves are in such perfect condition that I sleep like a child every night. I never had a better appetite; can eat three hearty meals every day without the least bit of trouble afterwards. I am so glad to say that the pain has left my back altogethter, and I can run up and down stairs nOw as well as I ever could. In fact, I just couldn’t ask for better health than I am now enjoying, and I’ll tell the world that Tanlac is solely responsible for it all.” Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck. —Advt.
