Committeeman Phillip B. Stapp,: them a regular old fashioned
accompanied by Mrs. Hood and Par^y w^b a barrel of fun. As
Mrs. Cole, Past Commander Dr. each couple arrived, they were
W. T. Dunning and Tom Wallace taken into a darkened room and
Post Commander of Gonzales introduced to three spirits; name-

Sunday Nov. 20th.
100 or more were present and
at one o’clock the chow line start-
ed feasting for about an hour,
State Adjutant Cole claimed to
be the champion barbecue eater.
After lunch everybody present
assembled in the Post’s new club
room and heard State Comman-
der Hood, State Adjutant Cole,
National Executive Committee-
man Stapp and Past State Com-
mander Dunning speak of the
American Legion activities, what
it has done for the ex-service
men and the privilege every
member of the American Legion
will enjoy next Year Oct. 8, 9,
10, and 11th. at San Antonio
when the National Convention
will meet.
Every one present seemed to
enjoy it and those who were not
present will regret it for missing
it, but this will not be the last
one and the best thing for every
thrown open to the living room
where 5 tables of Bunco had
been spread. The room was taste-
fully decorated in the Senior
colors and on one side was a
huge pumpkin on which the
Seniors motto, “Forward ever
Backward never” was. We cer-
tainly must give Ella Stratman
and Emily Luke credit for know-
ing how to decorate a room.
After fourteen games of Bunco
had been played, a hidden alarm
clock started ringing. This was
the eating signal. Never before
had the Seniors seen so many
good things to f at. They had
a ways thought Mrs. Stratman
was a good cook from the appear-
ances of Ella, but now they know
it. Annie Berckenhoff was aw-
arded a set of shoe trees for
having the most number of
punches in Bunco. Contest fol-
lowed contest. We wish we could
tell you about all of them, but

And Billy Disappeared
Last Thursday night, the 17th,
was “Birthday Night” with the
Little Theatre. After the date
|f|! was set for Billy to disappear,
the coincidence was noted that
the 17th of Nov 1926 was their
H initial bow to the public in “Her
^ Gloves” at the Palace Theatre.
|| At that time, the expenses had
■g been carefully adjusted, so in the
jj event of a failure to make ex-
|| | penses, each member of the cast
would assume his or her pro rata
and make it up. However this
Annual Red Cross Mem-
bership Drive is on. Leave
name at Farmers State
Bank.
J. R. Barrow returned Sunday
night from a hunting trip to
Mathis.
Schultz was most artistic and her
charming personality meant
much to the role. Miss Alice
Pohler was another substitute
in the cast that lent success to
the play, In her part as the negro
was not necessary and the year maid she could not have been ex-
closed with the litt e Club more celled. Miss Elsie Dziewas as
firmly established in popular j the wife gave an admirable ex-
| favor with each succeeding per- ample of dramatic and emotional
lines, which she rendered with
strong effects both in story and
pathos.

WET or DRY
COMPRESSION
That higher compression POWER you paid for in your
new car demands a Gasoline designed for it —
Many cars of 1926-7, and still more cars of 1927-8; simply
cannot give you their best results on old-style gasolines.
Why? Because compression ratios are higher and piston
speeds are different. A different gasoline with a differ-
ent way of acting is required if you are to get maximum
results. The results you wish for are ease and mastery in
the new set of traffic conditions that you lace.
To get these results, fill up with the new Texaco Gasoline
which is designed to meet the new piston speeds and the
new and higher compressions. Power, pick-up and hill-
work are at once improved. Open road time from point
to point is cut down.
One hundred per cent vapor at the spark!—that is how
Texaco, the new and better Gasoline, feeds—and its dryness
gives even the oldest car appreciably better performance.
Give your car the benefit today of scientific advance-
ment in fuels. Fill up with Texaco, the Gasoline that?
forms a dry gas. Buy it wherever you are, at the sign
of the Texaco Red Star and Green T.

J Every play has been entirely
' different in its scope and type.
1 The last a mystery play, so well
I portrayed, that the opinion is
almost unanimous—“that the
last was the best” The stage
set alone was worth the price
of admission.
So well did Bacon Berckenhoff
interpret the role of the prosecu-
ting attorney that his friends are
all agreed that he has missed
his calling and should abandon
pharmacy at once. As Ishmael
the hermit, Rudy Janecek, gave
a wonderful portrayal of feeble-
ness and old age, his climax in
the 3d act, was the surprise of
the evening when he revealed
himself in the role of a detective.
Billy, the aviator, played by Em-
mett Busch, was a clever hero
as well as secret service man
and- you know the world is crazy
about aviators and Emmett did
not disappoint his “little” world
of admirers. Raymond Prasatik
made an ideal Bub and gave the
audience some good character
work as the “Rube” mountain
boy. One of the most natural
and pleasing interpretations of
the whole play was that of Paul
Berckenhoff as the salesman.
Among the outstanding revela-
tions of the cast, was little Miss
Dorothy Jean Blohm age 10, in
the role of Aggie Borden. For
one so young her work was mar-
velous, bespeaking a wonderful
talent.
The director was very fortu-
nate in securing the services of
Miss Lucile Schultz, Shiner’s
popular expression teacher, in
the role of the debutante. Miss

Roxie Veree Buske in the mys-
tery role of Mary Blake gave not
only a finished but a most artis-
tic rendition of her difficult part.
Her work was most effective and
her portrayal surpassed all pre-
vious efforts.
Annie Louise Plageman has
been showered with double com-
pliments, for she played a double
role, as far apart in personality
as the East from the West. From
the giggling old maid to the
villianious Getaway Bell is a
wide range in expression, but
each part was made to live. In
the intense dramatic climaxes
with Mary Blake, the audience
experienced more than one thrill,
both girls sustaining character
parts equally matched and dif-
ficult of interpretation. To Mrs.
Wm Wendtland Jr. the audience
is indepted for the splendid
musical setting. In the orchestra
she was assisted by Miss Stella
Wolters and Evelyn Ereyer.
Messrs Wm Granz, James V.
Michna, Walter Garbade and
Joe Zahradnick.
“That Old Refrain” a vocal
solo by Bacon Berckenhoff was
deservedly encored. His splendid
voice, always carrying its appeal
to the hearts of the audiences.
The violin quartet was some-
thing new and the talented ar-
tists, Misses Wolters and Drey-
er. Messrs Michna and Zachrad-
nick received an appreciative
encore.
The gross receipts were- $100.
