Confederate monuments in the state,
and others are yet to be erected. A
home for eX-COnfederate soldiers is
maintained at Jacksonville Last year
the state appropriated $4,000 to the
Confederate soldiers home in this
city. Two Confederate monuments
have been erected here, and monu-
ment may be dedicated to the Women
of the Confederacy during the coming
reunion.
This brief exposition of the work
that Florida is doing for the ex-Con-
federate soldiers, living and dead, is
proof that the people of the state will
extend a warm and generous welcome
to the old soldiers and their friends
on the occasion of the Jacksonville
reunion Florida, while situated far
| South Of the great theater of war of
! 1876, felt the shock of the conflict.
Jacksonville was occupied four differ.
emit times by the federals. The pur.
poses of this occupancy, according to
official reports on file in archives of
the War Department., were to keep
the st. johns river open from its
mouth to the head of navigation and
to arm the negroes for service in the
Union Army. The small Confederate
force in East Florida in 1863 was com
handed by Gen. Joseph Finegan. On
March 10, 1853, Gen. Finegan issued a
proclamation here in which he said:
Il feel it my duty as brigadier-gen
eral commanding this district to in
form the people of the district and Of
the state that our unscrtpulous enemy
has landed a large force of negroes
under command of white officers, al
Jacksonville, under cover of gunboats
He is attempting to forLify the place
; so as to make it secure against at
tacks. The purpose Of this movement
5 obvious and need not be mentioned
in dii act terms. 1t is sufficient to in
spire the whole body of people with {
: renewed and sterner purpose of resist
ance. ! therefore call on such of tn
citizens as can possibly leave thei
zones to arm and organize themselve
into compa1ie without delay and re
port to me
Gen r. Saxton Gu. S. A. In re
r0rt to t! e War Department date,
Tarch IA, 1863, says: The object 0

ton to Welcome the Gray Army
To Florida in May.

Jacksonville, Fla.-Gov. Park Tram
nell, Florida's popular and accom-.
pilShed chief executive, has given out
letter for publication in the news
papers Of the South, on the approach
ing reunion in this city, May 6, 7, 8, OF
the United Confederate Veterans AS
ISOLATION. He assures the Confed.
crate veterans and their friends that
they will be given generous welcome
In Jacksonville and at other points in
the state which they may visit during
their stay in Florida. The governors
letter is as follows:
The Governors Welcome.
ut is simple truth to affirm that the
hearts of the people Of Florida are
overlooking with qualification and
pride over the fact that the reyered
heroes composing the United Confed
crate Veterans will hold their annual
reunion this year in our states
metropolis.
"The grand old heroes Of the Gray
will meet a magnificent, whole-souled
reception in Jacksonville and at any
other Florida points they may visit.
They will be amongst their own. They
will be in an atmosphere thoroughly
Southern, splendidly hospitable and
highly aprecatiye of the honor Of hav'
ing been selected as the Reunion City
and State.
Florida is rich in romance and ira
dition, and in the loyalty Of her people
to high ideals and patriotic endeavOrs.
In proportion to population and re-
sources, Florida contributed as gen.
erously and as cheerfully in men and
in means to the support o. the Con
federate cause as did any Of the other
great commonwealth which SO nobly
chamDioned that righteous struggle.
Florida gave many great names to the
mighty galaxy Of the South's match,

less heroes, and she gave a host OF
brave men of the ranks who on count
less fields rendered valorous account
of their courage and patriotism. The
creditable part which the people OF
this state took in support of Southern
defense is a source of pride to the sur
vivors of the great conflict and OF
yeneration to the younger generation.
I'm every community from the Po-
tomac to the Gulf the Confederate vet
eran is always an honored and a vel
come visitor and guest. No greater
tribute could be paid to the enduring
Justice of the principles for which they
contended and for the magnificent
manner in which they sustained their
convictions through the four sternes'
wears of American history, than the
unanimous and enduring verdict OF
commentator and appreciation which
has for half a century accorded the
glorious patriotism and chivalry ct
the Confederate soldiers throughout
the length and breadth Of the South
land they so heroically defended. In
Florida the veterans will find the same
cordial respect and unbounded hospl
tality which awaits them at all points
In the Southland.
"The formality of assuring a wei
come to the veterans who will attent
the Jacksonville Reunion is quite un
necessary; but it may be permitted
me to say that shall always conside
if one of the most pleasing and graft
fying events occurring during my tern
of office as governor that | shall D.
privileged to bid veterans of the Con
federacy from all sections welcome a
the guests of the warm-hearted peopl
of this great state.

There Are Two Good Local Football
Games Saturday

ence game in as many weeks Satur-
day against Purdue and all mdica-
lions are that this will be the hardest
test of the strenuous schedule map
ped out for the Maroons by the ath-
letic managers.
Northwestern and Indiana were
not hard for starters. Iowa did not
play any excellent football, but man
aged to stop the Maroon attack and
also gain considerable ground. Now
comes the Purdue team full of con-
fidence and Stage will be up against
it unless he has sent his men far for
ward this week.
Purdue held Wisconsin to a 14-to-7
score last week and played some
good football to. do it. There is no
Oliphant with the Boilermakers this
season or the team might land the
championship.
Stage will have to go far with the
open game to stop Illinois later in
the season. Zupke has team which
makes the freest use Of every form
of the new play and some of the
formations are strange to Conference
elevens.
Illinois meets Northwestern at
Evanston Saturday and the victory
should be easy for the state eleven.
Coach Murphy has put some fight
and determination into the Purple,
but it can hardly cope with the diver
sified attack and speed of the down
staters.
Hightower, Northwestern's best
bet, will be out of the game, while
Zupke will have every regular in
prime condition. His second string is
expected to do most of the work,
however, as the first line of backs will
be protected from injury and saved
for the harder games later in the sea-
son.

Another syndicate, representing
the Fleischmans of Cincinnati, stock
holders in the Reds, is also under
stood to be after the team.
Add to this duo the report that
Charley Weeghman, owner of the
local Feds, is also to be given a
chance to secure the National League
franchise for Chicago, and it begins
to look as though purchasing the
Cubs will be the same great little
sport it was last winter.
All that is necessary to become a
prospective buyer is ability to talk
about hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in an airy and nonchalant way.
It isn't necessary to show the color
of your coin.
Remembering last year, when the
Cubs were purchased at least once
a week, too much credence need not
be placed in the present stories of
syndicates crowding each other for a
chance to get in on an investment
which isn't the most giIt-edged pro-
position in the world.

Of two chambers. Bacteria collect in

Running water in the home removes
much drudgery. 1t has been estimat-
ID that when water has to be carried
into the house it is handled six
times. Taking the average amount
that is used in making meals, washing
and scrubbing, and it means handling
the equivalent Of ton day, !. e.,
one-sixth of ton six times. This is
certainly heavy burden to put on the
housewife who is already busy. The
carrying In Of the water ia another
big burden. ~-. h.
With the water In the house, the
pipes can be arranged so that either
hot or cold water can be had by
merely turning faucet. And it can
be had in any room OF the house
where needed. The waste water can
be run into septic tank.
There are several ways of putting
running water into the home. The
overhead tank il often used. For this
section the pressure tank is more
satisfactory. 1t can be put in the
basement or buried SO as to be be-
low danger of freezing. The water
can be pumped by windmill, a regu-
lator being provided SO that when the
tank has enough water the windmill
Ii shut of and when more is needed 1t
ls put into the wind. The pumping
can also be done by gasoline engine:
