The Straws You Suck Soda
Through Cost Fortune a Year
United States Spends Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars a Year for This
Apparently Insignificant Trifle.
. fc S BEAT oaks from little acorns
i grow" and mammoth fortunes
are made not only from small
beginnings, but from small things.
How matv rple think of a fortune
in connection with the paper straws that
are given them every time they go to
the confectioner's or the milk depot or
the bar and order something to drink t
Thees paper straws are common as pins
and needles thes- days; nobody ever
gives them a thought. They serve to
Ssuck up" the drink, or for the nervous
person to break and bend and twist as
he talks over the concoction before him,
but nobody ever thinks how much these
little straws cost the country in a year,
and how much the manufacturers are
making from them.
H. L. Potter, who spends from ?160 up
wards everv year for these little straws
for the use" of the customers of his cold
drink places in El Paso, has been look-,
ing into the economies and history of
the thing and iinds that the country
spends hundreds of thousands of dollars
a rear for them; also that the man
who invented them, though he had to
borrow money to begin their manufac
ture, died worth a quarter of a million
and the wealth of his estate has since
increased each year far and above the
previous year, regardless of what the
surviving members of the family manage
to spend.
Thirty years ago at every fountain
real straws were used, and these were
frequently cracked and rendered useless.
Everv bar had a glass of wheat Straws,
but they did not fill the bill. ,It re
mained for a Washington genius to in
vent the paper straw, which filled at
the same time a long-felt want and the
inventor's pocket.
Marvin Stone was a young man at the
national capital a young man with
much brains but few pennies, lie was
engaged in the business of making paper
ti'bes for mailing cases. One day ho
went into a bar for a julep and tried in
lain to get a straw that was not a dis
grace to the family. So he went back
to the shop-, made a bundle of paper
straws, brought "them to the barkeeper
as a present and they "took' at once.
A friend supplied capital and Stone went
at once into the paper straw business.
Within a few years he was ji wealthy
man, and when he died a few years ago
his estate was rated at $250,000 and his
straws were selling by the hundreds of
gross throughout the world.

Mayor Kelly received a transcript of
the Texas eight-hour law Monday

tary of state. Just who the law covers
in the employment of the city, it will

(8) hours in each consecutive twenty
four hours, except in case of necessity
for safety of life and property occasioned
by act of God or other causes beyond
the control of persons in charge of such
public works, provided nothing in this

FIND MISSING CASH
BENEATH DOORSTEP
A S3 Mexican bill furnished the clue
that led to the recovery of 5450, which '
with ?650, a diamond ring valued at
$300, and a gold watch and chain, val
ued at $100 disappeared Thursday night.
The property belonged to Mrs. Jose
f :ma Bustamantes, a refugee from Chi
huahua, residing at 641 West Missouri
street. Thursday night Mrs. Busta
mantes went into a store on South El
Paso street, and In making her selec
tions, put down her hand bag and pock
etbook. When she looked around for
them to get the money to pay for her
purchases she found that they were
gone. The city detectives were called
in on the case, and Friday night ar
rested Inez Flores, aged 14 years, in
connection with it. The boy is being
held at the police station pending
further investigations. The money re
covered was found under the steps of a
warehouse at the intersection of Santa
Fe and Fifth streets.
The detectives are still employed In
searching for the missing diamond ring
and watch.

ceipts to $685,000.
The total receipts for the El Paso
custom house, now on deposit for the
fiscal year ending Saturday surpass

tory of the local customs house by ?37,
000. The total deposited receipts for
the year amounted to $6S5,000.
Of that sum $550,000 was received
from cattle importations alone. This,
too, surpassed many of the receipts for
previous years for Importations of this
kind, being $200,000 more than received
last year on cattle. .
The cattle importations are causing
El Paso to be recognized throughout
the United States as the greatest impor
tation port In this country. Fully SO
Sercent of the cattle Imported to the
nited States, statistics show, come
through the El Paso customs port. The
cattle are Imported from the large
langes of northern Mexico and El Paso
acts as the shipping and buying center
for these cattle, when they are brought
to the United States.
Lumber importations, too, have be
come a big source of revenue for the
local customs house and is second to
cattle.
The Immense amount of lumber Im
ported to the United States from Mex
ico by the Pearson companies Is through
the El Paso port, and during the fiscal
year just ended, the company has Im
ported more lumber than In any preious
year since it has controlled the Pearson
timber lands In the state of Chihuahua.
The customs house Is straightening
up Its work for the year and will be
prepared to begin the new fiscal year
