The Women's Suffrage Club
have their flag out in Austin that
our legislature, now in session,
may know, just what the women
of the state want in the way of
voting privileges., -
Soon the peddling of govern-
ment garden seed for, the year
1917 will be commenced at Wash-
ington. instead of the seed that
may be due this office why not
send say a gallon of tick exter-
minator, as we may own a bull
pup later on. and the tick dope
may come in handy?
f
e years ago, February 1,
we came to Schulenburg and
bought the Sticker printery from
Raymond Winfree. During that
time we have addedl^Jie names
of many good farmers living on
th^ six rural routes Jeading out
of Schulenburg to our subscrip-
tion list and stricken therefrom
the names of quite a bunch of
fellows who were in the game to
get something for nothing. Our
list to-day is one to be proud of,
while our advertising and job
patronage have both been paying
propositions. And to the many
friends who made this profitable
business possible are we placed
under renewed obligations.
Mayor Campbell, of Houston,
is in favor of open/picture shows
in that town on Sunday. Is it
not better to go to one of these
places for amusement on Sunday
than to drop into,a crap game or
buy a ticket to a dog fight? Let
the picture shows remain open
on Sundays.
Schulenburg has a bully good
man, if he could be induced to
enter the race, for the office of
governor. If he were running
that machine at Austin every
man, and woman, on the state's
pay-roll would have to give value
received for. every dollar paid
tliem or be bounced.
A couple of months more and
our people will be called upon to
electa mayor, marshal, and two
aldermen. Let the best among
us be selected for these import-
ant offices, as much public work
should be done this year, includ-
ing cross-walks to the depot. A
good many thousand feet of new
side-walk should also go down.
The people of Chambers
county have asked the state leg-
islature now in session for the
passage of a five-year tax relief
measure and if those of whom
this request is made could know
these Chambers county 'people
and learn of the damage done up
there by the 1915 flood this mod-
est request—it is a modest one—
would be readily granted. Two
seasons prior to 1915 salt water
was forced up from Galveston
bay by the tides causing almost
a total failure of their rice crops,
which ife about all that is grown
in that section. The total tax of
the county, each year, if turned
into the state treasury wouldn't
amount to very much to the
state, but if saved to these hard
hit people it will go a long way
towards putting them on their
feet again. Let the measure be
speedily passed.
Oar state senator, Dr. I. E.
Clark, when excited, is liable to
so far forget himself as to say
"plageuonif'evenin the presence
of ladies. In order to beon the safe
side, upon entering upon his sen-
atorial duties at Austin, he asked
his stenographer, a lady of some
forty summers and a like num,-
berof winters, to please excuse
him should he make a break of
this kind in her presence. And
L. P. Lester Dead
The death of L. P. Lester Mon-
day evening was;a distinct shock
to many friends throughout this
section of the State. In the
prime of life, blessed with an
Unusually healthy constitution,
the angel of death sent her sum-
mons home after but a few days
sickness from pneumonia and
pleurisy.
L. P. Lester was born in Beau-
mont in 1882. He came to Schu-
lenburg twelve years ago as
operator for the Southern Pacific
railroad and on July 5, 1906 was
united in marriage to Miss Lottie
McKinnon of this city in Hous-
ton, Texas. Three children
blessed*their union, Claytop aged
nine, Marjory, aged six, Walter
Haword, aged two and a bright
little baby daughter born Wed-
nesday morning.
The funeral services were
held at the family home under
the auspices of Rev. Roeder of
the Weimar Methodist church.

At the cemetery the {Knights of
Pythias had charge of the ser-
vices.
Mr. Lester was ah active force
in city affairs. A man's man, it
was never necessary' to use
devious means to find how he
viewed auy problem effecting the
welfare of his home town. Pair,
honest and above board, he wai<
never found on both sides of any
proposition.
Although employed as opera
tor here, the field was too limited
for his ambition and his enter-
prise carried him into invest
ments and businesses enter-
prises of different kinds. He
was a member of the Knights of
Pythias, Elks, W. O. W. and O.

A life lived to its utmost has
ended with the verdict, "Well
done." The concienceness of
achievement brought no fulsome
boasting, the dregs of failure no
weaklings plea, rest well, good
friend. The community has
been benefitted, and now that
the Master calls you home, to re-
gret your going would be but
selfishness.
Surviving are the wife and
children, his mother, Mrs. Lizzie
Lester, sisters, Mrs. Lucy Ba-
ker and Mrs. Kate Posey, all
of Beaumont; his brothers, Tom,
of Houston; Charles, of Jackson-
ville; and W. H., of Weimar.
