ng Letter
From Our Friend
Charles Turner
Editor Of Schulenburg Sticker,
8chulenburg Texas.
Dear Sir:—
You no doubt will be surprised
to hear, from me, but as several
of my friends have asked me to
let them know what I see in the
land of MoctiBuma arid being
readers of j^our paper will ask
you to let them read my ex-
perience during the past30 days.
. I came in through the Port of
Laredo and 4hen to Monterrey
where I remained 24 hours,
there was nothing that interest-
ed me between those two points. j
Monterrey is a nice place, leav-
ing there I went to Saltillo where
I remained another 24 hours, still
I found nothing that I thought
climate. Leaving
to San Luis
my impression was that
itwas nothing more than a stock
country and also a fine climate
with some cultivation of corn
along the railroad. Prom there
I w«nt to Mieos where I remain-
ed two days and found' a very
good farming country but not
fully developed, leaving Micos
for Tampico I also found some
very nice land and after remain-
ing in Tampico four days, 1
found it a very lively town and a
good market for all agricultural
products and many of same be-
ing imported from the U. S. A.
it being a large port of entry.
Everybody complained of busi-
ness being very dull on account
of the Oil Companies having
down most of their work
and I could only imagine how
business must have been when
everything was in full blast. •
Living in Tampico has come
down some butstill high enough.
I have eaten cold storage eggs
from Texas as well as corn and
many other farm products and
canned butter from California
which shows, if freight and
duty can be paid on same to this
country how profitable it would
be to produce same here. I left
Tampico to visit my old friend,
K. H. Merrem and was very
muds surprised upon arriving at
Osorio station to find only some
rocky hills staring me in the
face. Traveling only a distance
of about a mile and a half I drop-
ped into a very large and fertile
valley covered with irrigated
farms and I must say as fine a
farming country as I ever saw.
Arriving at Merrem's place I
found growing all kinds of trop-
ical fruitSr^of vhich I only men-
tion Oranges, Grapefruit, lemons
Aguacates and Papias as I can-
not spell the names of the rest
aside from corn, rice, sugarcane
and all kinds of garden vege-
tables and in fact everything
that grows on rich soil in a warm
climate. There is nothing need-
ed here but good farmers to
make it a garden spot unequaled
any where, not barring Cali-
fornia.
Frost is unknown here, our
elavation about 800 feet, soil pro-
duces well without fertilizer,
rainfall sufficien t for one crop
every year, with irrigation, crops
are planted and mature every
month in the year, water for ir-
rigation is abundant from the
largo rivers and cost only the
ditches and distribution, no ex-
cessive heat during the day,
nights cools, at all times requir-
ing a blanket cover, no flies,
mosquitoes or other insects to,
annoy stock, which is in good
flesh all the year on the open
range, good water for domestic
use is found in abundance, in
wells twenty to thirty feet.
. The native people are a reve-
lation to one peaceable, law abid-
ing, courtious and attentive to
every want, not ignaraUt and
illiterate, very many highly edu-
cated rivaling any community in
the states where I have lived,
industrious but primative in
their methods of farming, owing
to the climate and responsive
nature of the soil to the rudest
methods of tillage. „
This valley farming land can
be had in large or small tracts at
five to twenty dollars per acre,
and invites the individual or the
colonist for its development.
Taxes less than one tenth of
what you pay in the states.
. I have no hesitation in advis-
ing my friends to investigate
and settle here for life.
I was much impressed with
the freedom I found and there
being plenty of liquors the small
percent of drunken men I have
met. I feel perfectly safe and
am sorry to say much more as
than are our large cities in the
U. S. No one has in any way
molested me during my travels
in the country. I feel sure any
of the old friends of Merrem
would enjoy a stay here and see

PROCLAMATION
Whereas it is meet and proper that the citizens recog-
nize the great) day when hostilities between the Allied na-
tions ancLthe German and Austrian Empires terminated-
And in recognitions of the trials and sufferings of Amer-
ican boys on foreign battle fields-
And keeping in bright memory the services of all
Americans in the sacrifices incident to the greatest struggle
in the history of the human race-
Now, therefore; I Gus Russek, by virtue of the author-
ity vested in me as Mayor of the City of Schulenburg and
concurrent with the Proclamations of the President of the
United States and the Governor of Texas;
Do hereby ordain and proclaim November 11th. 1921 as
a Legal Holiday on which day pur citizens are enjoined to
commemorate said day in a solemn Thanksgiving for the
Blessings which we now enjoy and in fervent Prayer that
Peace and Goodwill may prevail among men.
Given under my hand and Seal this the 7th. day of No-
vember, 1921.
GUS RUSSEK, Mayor.
Yeggs Crack Safe
At Weimar-Scures
$ 10,000 In Bonds
One of the boldest robberies
was perpetrated at Weimar
Tuesday night when the lumber
and furniture store of Jno. C.
Hubbard was entered and rob-
bed of $10,000 in registered
bonds and $300 in cash.
The thieves were apparently
professionals. After having
broken into one of the local
blacksmith shops and securing
the necessary tools they repaired
to the furniture store where they
drilled the safe and helped them-
selves to the loot. Another safe
in the office also showed signs
of having been tampered with,
but the burglars were evidently
scared away before they succeed-
ed in getting in this safe.
After having secured the loot
the men went to a nearby box
car where they 'took stock5 so
to speak, or divided their haul,
then to the hotel where they
changed their clothing, their old
clothes having been found the
next morning. The men j two of
them in number, then went to
the depot and bought tickets to
Columbus. No arrests have
been made as yet and no clue to
their identity, but if apprehend-
ed they can easily be identified
as they were noticed about town
by several of the citizens the day
previous of the robbery.
Red Cross Roll Call
Some time within the next few
days the ladies will start taking
the roll call, Schulenburg has al-
ways responded to this call, and
it is hoped she will again be in
the class of towns that go "over
the top".
what I call a fine farming
country and a good climate. Old
Ford is well represented here
and the cluck of an Auto is noth-
ing new in this section. The
people in this section are not
interested in politics nor revolu-
tions and only want to be let
alone and work. I think this is
the ideal place for a small farm-
er as land can still be gotten
cheap and by working can make
more money in a year than in
the states with a great deal less
labor. I will write again after I
visit some large sugar planta-
tions and to the Rio Frio Valley.
The river is said to be the cold-
est, purest and most beautiful
river in Mexico.
Game and fish here in abund-
ance and it is a hunters paradise.
No game laws, no prohibition,
no Ku Klux Klan and in fact very
little other d— foolishness.
Kesp. your Friend,
Charles Turner.

whereby Wm. Keuper, Jr., be-

Mr. Keuper has had many
years experience in. the grocery
business and it goes without
saying that the business will

Moved to La Grange
Capt. Al. Schlafli and family
moved to La Grange last week
to make that city their home. It
is with sincere regret that Schu-
lenburg loses this good family.
Capt Schlafli was a hustler and
booster all the time he was here
and did a lot of work for the ad-
vancement of this little city
which we are grateful for.
Mrs. Schlafli wa3 one of the
leading social workers of the city,
at all times willing to give her
time and energy to any good
cause.
The progressive people of
Schulenburg will miss {these
good people. We-only hope that
they will some day remove
here, and lend a hand to put
over some of the good measures
the old town need
Jolly Crowd En-
joys Deer Hunt
on Sandies
On Nov. 1st, Ad. Kehrer' Ferd.
Selcer, Sergt. Cha§. Schenk,
Max Steinmann, Kollie, Alex,
Klondike, Hester and Henry
Sengelmann, (five Sengelmann
brother, sons, of Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Sengelmann) sallied forth
for the lower country, better
known as the Sandies, to enjoy
an outing, hunting the ever alert
deer. At New Bielau they were
joinied by three Beken brothers,
Ad. Michalek, John Bock and
Ed. Kainer.
The "grub ^agon" preceded
them the day before, driven by
Victor De Ladson, chief cook. As
his load comprised a small gro-
cery store, and horse feed he had
to get an early start as the load
was heavy. The lower country
being very dry, drinking water
had to be carried along. Three
large tents were part of the load,
besides cooking utensils* etc.
Deer were quite numerous in
spite of the drouth, and the
party bagged three, All of the
party got several Shots. Some
had excuses that there was yet
too much foliage, couldn't see
'em, others blamed the shells
used, some blamed the guns and
one actually confessed that his
heart/was in his mouth, and he
got excited when a deer ran
within a few feet of him. and he
shot a limb off a tree just over
head. The hunter who had this ex-
perience returned to camp, threw
up his breakfast, said, "that's
enuf, now, I'm going home, I
don't want to be scared like that
any more", however he stayed
for he couldn't walk home. The
rest of the boy had a good laugh
at his expense. The second day
Sergt. Schenk appoint a detail
of two men to go fetch more
drinteihg water, which had to be
hauled five miles through the
brush. The trip consumed
three hours.
The boys returned home Sat-
urday. Everybody enjoyed the
outing. They report that arma-
dillos are plentiful this year in
that section. Some of you prob-
ably ate armadillo meat this
week?
For further information to
hunters, the Texas laws now re-
quire that when you send away
a hide of a deer to a taxidermist
for tanning, you/must first make
proper affidavit that you per-
sonally killed the deer and the
hide is for your own private use,
and not for sale, and that you
have npt exceeded the bag limit
for the present season. Without
this affidavit no transportation
company will accept your ship-
