Home And School Club
On the lst.day of October 1920,
the Ladies of Schulenburg met
at the school house and organized
a Mothers Club, however after
several meetings the name of the
club was changed to Home and
School. The dues of the club
were fixed at 50c a year, and the
first Friday of every month was
selected for the regular meeting
day.
The object of the club was to
bring the home and school to-
gether, and ot course to make
money and spend it in a way
that will help the school to be-
come better equipped. The first
move as to making money was to
give a Hallowe'en entertainment
which brought a sum of $126.76
at the same time a committee of
Ladies canvassed the town and
received $364.00, this money was
spent for two giant strides, foot-
ball suits, girls basket ball suits,
see-saws and vailey balls. Each
member of the club has worked
faithfully together giving differ-
ent kinds of entertainments.
The money has been well spent
giving several hundred dollars
for necessary books to be read
in school by the pupils for
English and History v lessons.
Many beautiful pictures were
also bought, shades for the win-
dows, a large box for packing
away the foot-ball and basket
ball suits, and everything in the
way of basket-ball, League ball,
bats and masks were given for
the children to play with, $556.00
was spent for a beautiful Mehlin
piano and cover, and $183.55 for
a bed, matress, pillow, blanket,
pitcher and pan for the rest
room, 18 nice chairs for Library
and stage and bubbles for the
drinking fountains. From the
time the club was organized up
to now, $1779.97 has been re-
ceived and $1750.61 spent. C^sh
balance on band $29.36.
Every member of the club join-
ed the Texas Congress of moth-
ers and Parent-TeacherS As-
sociation in 1921, but was unable
to join again last year,, however
Mayor Russek gave us $25.00 so
that he may become a life mem-
ber which ment much to our
club.
There are now 74 members of
the Home and School Club.
Some 15 or 20 members have
moved to different towns so can
no longer be counted in our list.
The Home and School Club is
the one club that every mother
should be a member of, for if
helps in every way to better a
school. Yesterday we held our
meetings in a wooden building
and to-day we are proud of a
magnificent structure of brick.

A Valentine Party was given
by the Girts Aid at the home of
Miss Emmie Schlottmann, Sat-
urday, February 10.
Hearts decorated the living

was played. After ten games
were played the girls were asked
into the dining room where re-
freshments were served. Hearts
decorated the table.
After the "table-talk" the
games was * continued until

Kinnon, Irma Eck, Marie Stab-
ler, Ellen Mitchon, Selma David,

chon, Melba Meyer, Maurine

Stand By Your Town
If you think your town's the best,
Tell 'em &o!
If you'd have her lead the rest,
Help her grow.
When there's anything to do,
Let the fellows count on you.
You'll feel bully when it's
through;
Don't you know?
If you want to make a hit,
Get a name.
If the other fellow's it,
Who's to blame?
Spend your money in your town,
Ttfusiy keep your prices down,
Give the mail concerns a frown—
That's the game!
If you're used to giving knocks,
Change your style;
Throw bouquets instead of rocks,
Ferawhile;
Lat the other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would a ghost,
Meet his hammer with a boast
And a smile.
When a stranger from afar
Comes along,
Tell him who and what you are-
Make it strong;
Needn't flatter, never bluff,
Tell the truth, for that's enough;
Join the boosters — that's the
stuff,
We belong.
Weather And Roads
Old Sol casting his rays upon
mother earth Tuesday was a
mtfch longed for sight. Many
comments and smiles spread
around as the warm sunshine
preformed its mission to human-
ity.
The roads are very heavy but
drying out fast, they should be
in fair condition by Saturday
everywhere. The worst place
that we learned of was at the
EastNavidad where some hun-
derd or more cars are reported
to have got stuck. They had to
be pulled out.
A detour was arranged a day
Or two later and traffic turned
this way. The reason this place
was so bad, was this strech from
the East Navidad bridge across
the railroad to where the gravel
starts was newly graded and
shapped up with loose dirt.
The fields are now in excellent
shape, the farmers state we have
the best prospects that we have
had for a long time for a good
crop this fall.
Many of our farmers killed
out thousands of boll weevils
last fall by destroying their
breeding places as soon as they
had picked their cotton, this will
help to insure a crop.
If old king cotton holds his
price, this country, with the aid
of the almighty, should be in
good shape this coming fall.

Dipping Inspector
Meyer Threatened
We publish below two notices
that were received by Inspector
Clark Meyer. The first was tied
to his saddle, it was not signed
but bore the picture of a human
head with the cross bones under-
neath. It iread: "Better you
quit that dipen now or we going
git you shore we warn you one
time we git yon the next time if
you dont quit now."
The other letter was left at the
Middle Creek Vat. It read:
"Mr. Enspector dont you come
to this vat iny more after this if
you make us dip my more we
git you shore."
A man is liable to get himself
into serious trouble writing no-
tices like this. Our advice is
don't do it.
Clark Meyers stated he re-
ceived these letters several
months ago. Bnthad not learn-
ed who the writers were.
Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Borchers
left Monday afternoon for San
Antonio where they will consult
a specialists in regard to Mrs.
Borchers health. It is sincerely
hoped that she will be back hale
and hearty ere long.

Carrying Pistol
Penalty
A law was recently passed by
the state senate which provides
that anyone arrested for carry-
ing a pistol will be subjected
to imprisonment in the county
jail of not less than 15 days nor
more than six months and a tine
;of not less than $100 nor mere
than $500.
In case a man is arrested now
and given the limit of penalty be
will be made to serve six months
in the county jail and pay a
fine of $500. This is a good law
and will make many of the pistol
carriers take notice and leave
their weapons at home. It will
also prevent the taking of many
lives we believe.
