Richmond, Va.-Without solicitation of
any kind, and solely through the voluntary
contributions from those ahe loved the
memory Of Winnie Davis, the Daughter OF
the Confederaoy will BIO honored by the
erection OF handsome monument over
the grave in beautiful Hollywood. II Will
be the first tribute of the kind ever paid to
a Southern woman by the women OF the
South,
When Miss Davis was buried beside the
remains of her distinguished father last
fall, there was great outpourlng Of
people to honor the memory OF the woman
herself as well as the cause with which
her name was so closely identified The
day after the ceremonies movement was
started by the Richmond chapter OF the
Daughters OF the Confederacy to erect a
monument to the woman who first saw the
light IN the White House Of the Confed-
eracy amid the roar OF cannon and the
martial tramp OF soldiers.
Al first It seemed Il difficult undertake
ing. But the women took heart from the
love OF one so dear TO them and sent out
q simple circular to Confederate organiza-
lions suggesting that they contribute as
they aaw Git to this work Of love. No solicit
tation FOR funds was made, but soon con-
tributlons came pouring in from various
parts OF the South,
One fair-haired child from Georgia wrote
that her grandfathers wers both killed In
the defense of Richmond, and she wanted
TO send her contribution TO cause close
TO her heart.
The Winnie Davis monument committee
soon had $1,000 on hand, and designs for a
monument 20 cost that amount were asked
for Many designs were submitted, but the
New York camp OF Confederate veterans
desired particularly design by Zoiney.
the we'll known New York sculptor. This
has been pronounced work OF high art
by critics OF repute
The price was $4,000. but the acuiptors
friendship for the Davis family caused
him to reduce the amount to $3.50. which
included $3.50 given by the New York vet
Grams. A letter was received by members
of the chapter OF Daughters here from
Mrs. Davis, in which she said:
"when the letter came saying II would
be possible for this statue to be erected

corded. and byproducts now represent the
PROFITS OF many great manufacturing en-
terprises. II there we're no byproducss in
the slaughter houses the worlds ham and
bacon would cost the people twice as
much. No parts OF the hogs and steers
which meet their fate In the abattoirs
Of Chicago and Kansas City now escape
utilization In some form or other. Oleo-
margarine, glue gelatine and buttons are
some Of the products manufactured there
from.
For picking over the garbage OF Nav
York a contractor pays the city s125.ooo
annually, and tho scraps thus found are
utilized in hundreds Of factories. No bat
tie. no button. no rag, no scrap OF iron,
leather or wire Is allowed 10 escape.
~
This brief reference will give some idea
OF the extent OF manufacturing throughout
the North and East Not only is every
product raised by man utilized in some
factory. but no scrap is lost. The garbax.
barrels are picked over. and help 10 form
the great chain Of production
In Texas there is no need yet Of fac
tories for the utilization Of scraps We
have not yet begun to manufacture or to
utilize our simplest products OF the earth.
Our development in this line In still OF the
crudest form. We are wasting annually
thousands and thousands Of dollars worth
OF fruits and vegetables. the byproducts
of which alone would keep several fac
tories busy In the New England States
We are badly in nesd of a class of
manufacturing plants that will utilize
some of the products that can be and are
raised in Texas; factories that will not
only furnish employment to labor but
that will insure the farmers market for
their crops.
The men who promote such industries
will find that their investments have been
turned into the right channel. Not only
will they profit thereby themselves, but
they will open up new fields OF work for
thousands OF people, and make cities
where We now have villages.
~
Tho future of Houston depends upon
this development. 1t is useless to hope
for any true and lasting progress until
our citizens unite on this line. The most
pressing duty which rests upon Houston
to-day is to face the future.

Is one of the greatest Of living inven-
tors. He was born in Milan. Ohio. Feb.
1917. He had little education and when
quite young became a newsboy on a
railroad His early life and struggles
read like romance and are interesting
to every American youth. Edison's
electrical inventions have been many,
but next perhaps in Importance to his
perfection of the quadruplex telegraph
instrument are his improvements upon
the electric light. The system of light
ing railroad trains by electricity is a
product of Edison's brain and dates
back only a comparatively few years.
The perfection of passenger coach
lighting by electricity may be found up
on the through trains of the Mlwau-
kee, the first road in the West to sub
stitute electricity for the oil lamp. To-
day all its Chicago trains are thus
lighted and its celebrated Pioneer linn
tied the only perfect train in the world,
is also the best lighted train in the world

train as it leaves the twin cities for

inventions and his laboratory at West

Judge BoIand Occupies the District
Bench for a Short Time.
Judge Boland was just as big a man
as Judge Napton for a few minutes
yesterday afternoon. He presided in the
district court room for about five min
utes and he presided with dignity. He
was little bit overcome by the august
surroundings of the bench but when
he got his second wind, he looked just
as cool and as wise as the best of
them.
The occasion of Judge Boland's eleva-
ton to the district court bench was the
performance of marriage ceremony.
Henry Tamsche and Miss Myrtle
Farley, two well known young people of
Pioneer, came to Anaconda yesterday
for the purpose of obtaining a marriage
license and of being made man and
wife. When the happy couple appeared
al the clerks office and got their license,
they asked for justice of the peace to
tie the knot. Judge Boland was in the
