finally decided to accept from
the State Teacher’s College at
San Marcos. There were two
W. L. Martin medals offered for
girls of the senior class, one in
Mathematics and one in English,
to be awarded on final exami-
nations. Miss Sehovajsa won
both medals. Also in her junior
year was awarded the Ameri-
can Legion medal for highest
average among the girls of the
High School. Miss Sehovajsa is
18 years of age and has a bril-
liant future ahead of her. She
came from Michna school to
Shiner High, four years ago.
She accredits her success in be-
ing able to cope with the
Shiner students, to the splendid
foundation work she was given
in the rural school and asked us
to say that her teachers before
coming to Shiner High were
Mrs. F. M. Wagner, Mrs. J. W.
Boyle, Mrs. Thomab Hughs, Mrs.
Otto R. Siems and Miss Elsie
Dziewas, which is but another
feather in the cap of Shiner
High, as all of the ladies men-
tioned were graduates of our
high school, except Mrs Siems.
In addition to above local
honors Miss Emilie entered the
Senior division of the State In-
terscholastic League Spelling
contest and won the rare honor
of having her paper graded 100
per cent by the State Office
Graders at Austin.
The Gazette congratulates Miss
Sehovajsa and awaits with keen
interest her future achievements.
Numerous friends are saying
goodbye to Rudy Janecek this
week, who has resigned his posi-
tion with Shiner Drug Co. and is
leaving to accept a similiar
position with the Farris Drug
Co. at Edna. Sincere regrets are
expressed over his decision to
leave. He will be greatly missed
in his accustomed place, which
he has capably filled for 12 years.
We commend him to the good
people of Edna as a young man
of sterling habits, industrious,
energetic and of a pleasing per-
sonality. He is in every way
worthy of their esteem and con-
fidence. Shiner’s Little Theatre

corn yield. Cotton, too, is in
fine shape and the farmers are
well prepared to meet any emer-

poison will eradicate.

Sale Of Yoakum Road
District Bonds
In order to get the Highway
Commission to get the work
started on Highway No. 72, in
the Yoakum Road District, the
road district’s portion of the
necessary money had to be plac-
ed in the bank before the road
contract was let. In order to get
the necessary money, some of
the road district bonds had to be
sold.
Long before the bonds were
sold, as also at the time when
they were sold, and even now
yet, the price on the bonds was
less than $1000.00 for a $1000.00
bond, so that, in order to get the
money ready, either a loss had to
bo taken on the bonds and the
highway built, or no road built
for possibly a long time yet.
The law says that no road
bonds shall be sold for less than
dollar for dollar, and the earned
interest on the bonds sold, but it
allows a commission to be paid to
some one making the sale of the
bonds, under Article No. 708, Re-
vised Civil Statutes of Texas. By
vote of all the commissioners,
$150,000.00 of the road bonds
were sold, and a commission of
$8250.00 was paid, so that $141,
750.00 cash was received for the
bonds But by letting the con-
tract when the bonds were sold,
a total estimated saving of over
$9700.00 was made, as compared
with the price that was paid for
the same work and material,
when the contract was let on the
highway from Yoakum north, in
March, 1930.
On September 28, 1925, as
shown in General Docket Vol. 7,
at page 313, Lavaca County Road
District bonds to the amount of
$150,000.00 were sold for the
promised sum of $151,791.60 but to
this day, only the sum of $104,
103.96 was paid oh them, making
a loss of $47,687.64 on the sale of
the bonds, which is $39,437.64
more than $8250.00.

Olsen For Re-election As
Representative of Lavaca
County
Hon. J. J. Olsen, of Yoakum,
Lavaca County’s capable rep-
resentative in the Legislature,
called on the Gazette Monday
morning and asked us to an-
nounce him for re-election, sub
ject to the action of the
Democratic Primary in July. Mr.
Olsen has served our county with
a credit to himself and an honor
to our county. He is a man con-
servative in all things. He stands
for permanent highways and is a
staunch friend of the present
highway commission. When cast-
ing your ballot at the July pri-
mary remember his candidacy.
Shiner Poultry Crop Over
$50,000 Per Quarter
While our neighbors are meet-
ing with marvelous success in
diversifying, especially in to-
(matoes and potatoes, we decided
to make a survey of poultry ship-
ments and see what the poultry
industry meant to our communi-
ty in “diversified money.”
With the cooperation of our
merchants, we have kept a
tabulated account of shipments
of egg3 and poultry out of Shi-
ner for the past quarter— March,
April and May and find the egg
and chicken sales tabulated more
than $50,000.
This does not include home
consumption. Our merchants
also reminded us that these
months were not the best
months, especially the month of
May.
One can see at a glance what
prodigious figures a year’s in-
come on poultry and eggs mean
to the community.__ A few years
ago, such marketing of these
products was unknown. The
Chamber of Commerce fostered
and founded the “Better Poultry
Campaign” in 1923-24, under the
presidency of Mr. Peck Welhau-
sen.
The above report shows that
the farmers in this immediate
section are now large producers
of poultry and eggs. The figures
are almost unbelievable. This
cash is distributed daily among
our people and is a safe and
sound investment—very differ-
ent from the “gamble” one plays
on a cotton crop.
Shiner Sells Wool
Shiner sheep growers sold
their wool to a representative of
the S & S Wool Co, of Dallas for
18c. 12,701 pounds were delivered
here and trucked to Hailettsville
where it went into a car for
Baltimore, Last year Shiner wool
sold for 30c. However this brings
$2,286.18 of “diversified” money
into the community.
Monday Was Shipping Day
Three car loads of stock were
shipped out last Monday to Fort
Worth. There were 2 cars of
mixed cattle and hogs and 1 car
load of sheep. Frank Jr. and
Norbert Tassler accompanied
the shipment.
Kasparek’ Kurtz
Miss Emilie Kouba, R. N., re-
signed her position as superin-
tendent of the Dr. Wagner Hos-
pital on June 1st. Miss Kouba
has been with the hospital over
three years and has endeared
herself to every one by her
gentle, efficient service. Aside
from her professional services
she has made numerous personal
friends who are regretting her
decision to “engage in another
line of endeavor.” Miss Bertha
Janak, R. N., of Santa Rosa In-
firmary succeeds Miss Kouba
and we welcome her in our midst.

Mr. and Mrs. Steve Bennett of
Hailettsville were visitore here
Monday. Mrs Bennett was in-
terviewing the voters in the in-
terest of her race for County
treasurer. This office was favor-
ed with a pleasant call.
The marriage of Miss Janie
Cecelia Kasparek to Mr. Victor
Kurtz was a great surprise to
many of their friends. The bride
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Alois Kasparek and the groom
is the .son of Mr, and Mrs. Joseph
Kurtz, both prominent families
of Lavaca county.
The wedding took place Mon-
day June 2d at St Anna’s church
at Hochheim. After the wedding
ceremony a dinner was served
at the brides home and a dance
followed at night which every
one enjoyed.
The bride was lovelier than
ever dressed all in white, stand -
ing by the man of her choice.
The bridemaids were Misses
Frances Kasparek and Raefela
Baros dressed in light yellow.
The best men were Rudolph
Kasparek and Johnnie Kurtz
while the witnesses were Wm
Baros of Yoakum and Chas
Kurtz of Shiner.
Wishing them both success
and happiness in their future,
we are An Attendant
