BE WIS ONCE I SCHOOL BOY OF
CMOWEIL: NOW II MIGHTY BIG MIW
With r.a optimistic smile as gigan-
tic as ne man himself and as genial
a pe sonality as mankind could ever
hoye to possess, we discovered him
i .i the lobby of the Caldwell Hotel
Monday of last week. He was Joe
Dedek of Rosenburg, Texas, who stop-
ped over here enroute to some point
on tb<* S. P. Mr. Dedek left this coun-
ty sotne twenty odd years ago. His
parents wore at that timc living- in
the «Wcnjnt Prairie settlement and for
sonfcr timd Joe attended school here
átí'i&ldweíf until about 16 years of
age. Now he is a man weighing sev-
eral hundred pounds, and is as big a
maw in, the commercial world as he is
in.life's physical realm.
• Mr.*Dedek says the Caldwell coun-
try and Burleson county is a mighty
good c-untry. lie know*- ; id values
,UkQ p real estate' agent and :.oil condi-
tions, ^ike. a geologist. In fact he's
handling land transactions as a side-
line and lately has been locating a
number of farmers down in Matagorda
county.
Hia t^ome is at Rosenberg in Fort
Bend county and his great big, warm
heart'honestly believes there's no place
like his'home county, but deep down
in the inner depths of his soul are
the memories of his boyhood days in
Burleson county and even unto this
daly he ' loves the Caldwell country.
In speaking with him while h-_.e
last week, he called to mind some of
the boys who went to school with him,
among them being the new editor of
this paper.
Quickly diagnosing his personality
we found Mr. Dedek an interesing
talker and found his views of farm
industry to be in line and accord with
today's program of "Better Farm
ing." He said the county weekly
newspaper was the farmers best
friend, as it afforded opportunity to
bring..together all the other friends
of the community in one great big
letter every week. He said he didn't
see any reason why the Caldwell pa-
per should not have five thousand
subscribers. He wishes the paper and
its new management success and
gives his best regards to all his old
time friends of long ago.
Mrs. E. F. McCarty visited in
Houston t yo dajrB last week, where
she attended a special banquet given
by the American Maid Flour Mjlla,
for their salesmen and wives.
Jennie Mac Hilliard was home from
the State University for the holidays.
STEEL DRAULIC
The term "steel draulic," was coin-
ed to describe the simplified form of
four wheel brake control mechanism
which is used on Dodge Brothers
Four. By utilizing a cable passing
through a flexible metal tube built
Up of sections fitted together like
irsrtibrae the designers have elimi-
nated a number of rods, shafts and
Universals.
For the past two seusons of trap-
ping, the fur catch in this country has
at an alarming rate. The
I catch was 20 per cent less than
■a*. previous year and in 1926-27
the decline was even greater.

One of the outstanding events of the
y ule tide was the marriage of Miss El-

of San Angelo, Texas, at 2 o'clock De-
cember 27th, 1927. The wedding was
the first to take place in the new

The colorful wedding party was
made more beautiful by the embank-
ment of ferns and chrysanthemums
that formed the improvised altar. Just
before the wedding party entered Mrs.

Mrs. E. D. Crutchfield of San Antonio

ed in opposite aisles to the altar. Miss

Burleson County cotton ginning*
prior to December 13th, 1927, as re-
leased by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Washington, through
it* local crop statistician, John Struwe
approximated 25,896 balen a com-
pared with 32,050 balen produced laat
year, counting round balen as half
bales. These figures practically
giiiig. the cotton crop for 1927, an
(her, is very little cotton unpicked to
be ginned. The 1! 27 crop surprized
many people, for the general opinion
w.ts that not more than 20,000 balen
would he produced. The final crop
will be beyond the average for the
past ten years, and speaks well for
the county. It proven that the inten-
sive and scientific method* being
largely adopted by farmers payn—
(ich as continuous working, use of
fertilizer and poisoning of insect*.
The open fall season was beneficial
also which added several hundred
hales to the crop.
