No. 36
New School Will Be Built
Here; Bonds Carry By A
More Than 2 to 1 Majority
s
"Vote Early"
"Vote Right"
"Vote for Progress'
And they did.
Last week The Sticker told
yon that the School Bonds
'would' carry by a two to one
majority. This week we are
more than glad to report, that
they carried by an even bigger
majority than two to one—the
final vote being 283 For the is-
sue and 129 Against, which fig-
ures just 25 votes over and above
a 2 to 1 majority.
And when we told you last
week that they were going to
carry by that majority, the
writer, believed that this was a
conservative estimate and so it
proved.
The Sticker does not seek any
•credit for the success of this
issue. The credit goes to the
good people of the District, who
answered a crying need of the
children of today and tomorrow,
•with their votes For better
schools. If we have tried to
mould sentiment favoring the
building of a new school, and if
that sentiment has but crystal-
lized, yes perfected, we are well
content. When the editor first
visited Schulenburg's schools in
1919, we immediately saw that
Schulenburg needed and must
have a new school, and since that
time we have faithfully worked
toward that end. Moves have
been made toward that end,
ever since. 0 ,
A change in superintendancy
"was the first step, and we were
fortunate enough to secure a
man who has had a great deal of
experience in creating sentiment
for better schools, and Prof, i
Griswold is to be congratulated1
upon the splendid work he has
done along these lines. And
-while building this sentiment for
a new school, he has also created
a much better school spirit
among the children.
But it takes more than a senti-
ment for a proposition to de-
liver VOTES for it, in the big
numbers that they were polled
last Tuesday, and here our bat
comes off to the livest wire in
South Texas, Mayor Russet
His has been an untiring, nevei
flagging, non-stop, fight for th
school. His'work for the school*
began early mornings before
many were astir, and never stop-
ped until long into the night.
He has sacrificed both time and
money in the good cause, and
election day found him deliver-
ing that strong vote, for which
he had previously helped to
build the nucleus.
And the ladies of the Home
and School Club, which was or-
ganized for better and to better
schools, are entitled to every
credit. Their zealous work has
borne its fruits.
All of these, and the other
good men and women who had a
part in the carrying of the bond
issue are entitled to the congrat-
ulation and thanks of the com-
munity.
And election night, after all
was-over, before many an eye
closed for an earned and entitled
rest, the hazy outline of a modern
new school edifice, ol brick and
tile, dreamily floated before the
vision and through the mind, of
those who believe in that most
wonderful of Americanized ideals
—Good Schools.
And the dream will soon be a
reality.
Mr. and Mrs. Al. Schlafli have
bought a new car, being an Apr
person Six, from Dr. Clark.

THE COMMITTEE.
Ten Days In Mexico
Proves A Wonderf ul
Trip And Enjoyable
''Concluded from last week.)
When the early birds on the
train first sighted land the next
morning, it was instantly ap-
>arent that we were coming in-
o a different type of country
md community. More land was
under cultivation, and producing
more abundantly. And so with
more pleasant anticipations we
came into the pretty city of
Guadalajara.
This, said to be the second
largest city in Mexico, and with
an estimated population of be-
tween 200,000 and 250,000, shows
few marks of revolution. As a
matter of fact only one life was
lost there thuough that cause,
we were told, and that one, a
rich banker who refused to
accede to demands. Guadalajara
is a progressive city. It is a
wealthy city, and its people
seemingly are confident of its
future, as one sees building
activities on every side. A tour
over the residence sections
showed us hundreds of new
homes under construction.
An excellent hotel was found,
and we were royally treated and
royally fed. And a good meal
in Mexico, when traveling with-
out a dining car, is something
worthy of more than passing
notice. Believe me it is. I
missed enough of them, so that
I am fully competent to judge
this point. Guadalajara is such
a good town that some of the
boys even unearthed a French
bar, where they could speak
English. Did we hate to leave
Guadalajara. We did. It seemed
tome, like the first "regular"
town we had hit. But time and
Mexican trains wait on no man,
and four short toots of the
whistle on our faithful locomo-
tive called us in, and at mid-
night we were again on our way.
We stopped at Pen jamo, Ajuno,
Patzcuaro, and here we had a
couple of hours to study farming
conditions and irrigation meth-
ods at close range. Leaving
there and on to Morelia, Acam-
baro and Celaya. And here the
schedule was changed cutting
Queretarooff our itinerary, and
leaving only a direct run over
the main line to Mexico City.
Not a regret at this change, and
when we pulled into Station
Colonia at about 9:00 o'clock on
the Fourth of May, it^was a feel-
ing of gladness,—that we had
finally arrived some place—and
we had.
Mexico City is wonderful.
Of that there is no question. It
is quaint, and old, and has draw-
backs by the score, yet with it
all, it is still a wonderland for
the tourist who loves to tour—
to see and experience new
things and new scenes. We
were there three days and two
nights, and it was only long
enough to see the surface.
Two nice hotels the Regis and
the Imperial are largely sup-
ported by tourist patrons, and
in these hotels our party, or
many members of it, found a
home during our stay. A glori-
ous b^th, and change of clothing
worked the first wonder, and a
first class dinner worked the
second. After that it was smooth
sailing. Mevico City is of better
than a million population. At
first I though the figure too
high. After I had been there a
few hours, I decided it was too
low. On the main avenue, is a
continual stream of high priced,
American and foreign automo-
biles, and there seems to be no
speed limit—yet few accidents.
We discovered that our Ameri-
can dollars were worth each two
Mexican dollars or pesos, and
with the idea that we had twice
as much money as we thought
we had, we started out to spend
it accordingly.
Now a tourist is either a suck-
er, or a sucker is a tourist. One
of the two is right, and I half
way believe that both are cor-
rect. I know they saw us com-
ing. But with two dollars for
every one which we formerly
had, why worry. And we didn't.
A good meal we found to cost
anywheres frbm four to ten
pesos at the hotel. Or about
two pesos at Sanborn's, the big-
gest place in Mexico City. There
are bars too, and they play the
same tunes on the cash regis-
ters there that they used to
play in Texas, only the tune is
louder, and I suppose they have
to empty the register more
often.
But after a half dozen days on
half-rations, a half dozen dollars
more or less makes little differ-
ence. We were there for pleas-
ure, so why quibble over pesos.
A Ford jitney is only worth
two pesos an hour or $1.00 our
money. For twice that amount
a big Hudson is at your com-
mand. And that is the easiest
and best way to see the City
quickly.
We didn't see a bull fight, be-
cause they had moved the
fighters down toPuebla, but we
did see the big Cinco de Mayo
celebration, which paraded the
streets for 3 hours. The parade
was nothing short of a military
demonstration, but since we
from Schulenburg have seen
Troop H on parade at different
times, we were not deeply im-
pressed. It was a big success
however.
The great cathedral, nearly
400 years old is worth the trip to
see. Some forty millions of dol-
lars worth of gold are inlaid in
It Rests With The Women
Our womenfolks are after all
the buyers for the whole family
and it is to them, especially,
that this "Trade in Schulenburg
idea is directed.
If the average woman could be
made to realize that every time
she spends a dollar away from
home she is simply taking that
much money away from her
husband, father, son or brother,
she would keep it here.
Every time a dollar leaves
here it lessens the chance of
our men folks for advancement,
possibly an increase in salary—
it reduces their earning power.
Will any woman be so thought-
less as to send away money that
if spent here, will circulate from
hand to hand and probably come
back to her?
Most women, are good true,
loyal citizens and especially is
this true of our Schulenburg
women.
It surely will only be neces-
sary to have this matter brought
to their attention in order that
results may follow.
In trading at home our women
folks can do their share in the
upbuilding of our community.
Let every woman who reads
this think well over the question
and then discuss it with other
members of their family and
their neighbors.
Will the women of Schulen-
burg do their part?
A WARNING!
The Sticker this Thursday
morning is in receipt of an un-
signed communication calling at-
tention to the fact that "certain
individuals and interests are
threatening to put into force in-
creases in rentals of certain ten-
ants who voted for the School
bonds here last Tuesday, carry-
ing out intimidation threats of
before the election."
"You are warned to give thi3
matter publicity through your
paper, as this constitutes a vio-
lation of American citizenship,
the anchoring rock of our
schools, and the very base of
Americanism, itself" the com-
munication goes on to recite.
The Sticker has no means of
knowing from where this com-
munication comes, or what num-
ber of persons may be behind it.
A communication was received
three weeks ago by the Colum-
bus Citizen, and published and
was followed with the greatest
Ku Klux Klan demonstration
ever staged in South Texas. The
origin of this communication
may or may not be from the
same source or its individual
members.
In keeping with the warning
conveyed in this letter, the
Sticker invites any citizen of
Schulenburg who has his rent
raised, and has cause to believe
that it was done owing to his
vote or stand in the recent school
election, to supply the editor
with the facts under his signa-
ture, and it will be given the
requested publicity.
The Editor.
The State Press Association
meets at McAllen this year for
a three day session on June 9,
10 and 11. Editors will be pres-
ent from all over the state. The
Sticker man hasn't yet de
cided whether he will be able to
get away, but we want to enjoy
that promised McAllen hospital-
ity mighty bad.
the walls and decorations. We
also were permitted to go through
the President's Palace and to see
the seat of government at close
range.
The climate here is wonderful,
and the 8,000 feet of altitude, in
the valley, surrounded by tower-
ing mountain ranges, is more in-
vigorating than one could im-
agine. The days are warm at
times, but the nights delightful-
ly cool.
I could write column after
columnon Mexico City, butspace
forbids. Some day, I'm going
back, and see all of it over again,
and discover those things which
I know are there, yet had to
miss.
Recognition by this govern-
ment is bound to come soon, and
that will be the forerunner of
more pleasant relations.
At 8 o'clock on Friday night
we pulled out of the station head-
ed for home, and 46 hours later
pulled in at San Antonio.
Home again. Glad to have seen
you Mexico. Buthome.

Father Netardus Will
Speak Here Sunday
With the consent and through
the courtesy of Rev. Father J.
Lenzen of St. Rosa's parish, Rev.
Father L. P. Netardus of Flatonia,
but so well know in Schulenburg
that he needs no introduction
from the Sticker, has been se-
cured to deliver an address^at St.
Rosa's Church next Sunday eve-
ning at 7:30.
Father Netardus is known as
one of the most able talkers in
South Texas, and this fact
coupled with his large number
of friends assures a crowded
church to hear him next Sun
day evening.
Since moving to Flatonia,
Father Netardus is a frequent
visitor to Schulenburg, and we
are always glad to welcome him
here.

Schulenburg Ball
Players Win Two
More Games Easy
The Schulenburg Ball Club is
apparently just beginning to get
really warmed up, and during
the past week added two more
games to their victories. That
isn't all. They took the last one,
directly in the face of defeat.
The first of the two games
was played at Weimar last Tues-
day afternoon. The contest was
lopsided, the locals easily show-
ing ing superior form and won
by the score of 13 to 4.
Last Sunday's game was a
different story, however when
the fast Luling aggregation
came over with bells on, and kept
the bells ringing noisily until
the seventh inning. The ringing
was done too, to the extent of
four scores.
But in the seventh things hap-
pened. And in tlje eighth they
happened again, when the pitch-
er clinched his own game with a
homer, bringing in two more
runs. It wasn't necessary to
play the last half of the ninth,
and the scorekeeper announced
the score—Schulenburg 5 Luling
s.
Halletsville was orinally sched-
uled to play here Sunday instead-
of Luling, but as is customery
when they arrange a game with
Schulenburg—at the last minute
backed out.
The team is scheduled to go
to Waelder this Thursday for a
game, and a game will also be
played on the home lot Sunday,
with Luling.
Ernst Russek spent a couple
of days last week down in the
ranch country below Columbus.
