Just for the sake of curiosity,
how many persons (teachers in-

know that are legally qualified
to hold to office of county su-
perintendent? We admit that
some haven’t even a highschool
education and were holding that
office by reason of their diploma
which gives the holder almost
as many degrees as a thermo-
meter. However, such cases are
few and far between. But tak-
ing the matter as a whole, we
do not believe that we are edu-

A most enjoyable birthday

The young folks all enjoyed

She was more than pleased to

extended for another year.
C. A. Weige, a well known ci-
tizen of New Ulm and a veteran
of the civil war, suffered a
light stroke of paralysis early
Wednesday morning of last
week. Despite his advanced
age of four score and one year,
he is doing nicely and unless-*
complications develop, he has
bright chances to regain his
former good health.
A splendid rain fell through-
out Austin and adjacent coun-
ties Saturday night and Sunday
morning. The rain was not need-
ed badly in this part of Austin
County, but since all-the land is
ready for planting corn the
moisture will hold out as much
longer in the event of a dry
spell during March.
News didn’t break so well
this week which accounts for
the shortage of news items in
this issue. Lots of sickness
prevails in neighboring com-
munities. People do not expose
themselves to weather unless
the days are real warm and
pleasant like today—Valentine
Day—and business is sorter
dull.
Feb. 13, 1928—As this is my
first time to -write to the dear
old Enterprise I hope it will
scape the waste basket.

The Houston papers have
something to say about the Na-
tional Democratic Convention.,
which meets in the Magnolia
City on June 26," every day.
We will have to read the ora-
torical explosions for the next
sixth months. But that’s only
justified enthusiasm. Well de
me remember how we blew the
horn when we landed the Coun-
ty Interscholastic Meet for Nev
Ulm back in the spring of 1924.
Some of our most conservative
business men thought our town
was too small for a gathering
like that; others thought it
would bring business to oui
town that we could get in no
other way, and in a certain way
it did—Those who were
mune got the measles.
* * * * *
The school patrons
schools adjacent to New Ulm
helped New Ulm finance the In-
terscholastic Meet. There was
peace and harmony and what
was still more appreciable, the
meet was selfsustaining. In
ether words, the receipts cover-
ed the expenses and there was
a small balance left to remind
the shareholders that had the
weather man played them a
irick it would have left a bruise
that no ointment could have
healed. It’s hard to charge by
the yard and collect by the inch.
Houston can hide the whole
town of New Ulm in two of its
greatest skyscrapers but look
at the parking space New Ulm
has. It can’t beat us on that
and the people know it, too.
*****
Judging from present indica-
tions wTe are going to have an
extra fine crop of candidates
this year. But it is a little too
early to start the campaign. In
the good old convention days
the political campaign lasted
only about two months and, be-
sides, barbecues, dances and oth-
er entertainments were general-
ly given free to the public.
At the present prices of beef
cattle barbecues will be few and
far between unless the people
are willing to pay seventy-five
cents or one dollar per plate.

fact a candidate should have no
hesitancy in asking the voters
01 his precinct or county to give
him two years or return him to
office for another two years, as
the cause may be, as a mild
token of appreciation for doing
right. But that sounds awk-
ward, doesn’t it. In the former
case the expenses are borne by
the county and state, while in
the latter case the office seeker
is compelled to defray his own
expenses whether he is success-
ful or not.

A good many voters believe
in rotation in office. That is
they advocate a law forbidding
an officer to succeed himself
more than once for the same of-
fice. In a densely populated
county the scheme might work,
but in lots of counties it does
not. We have it from good au-
thority that the county judge
of a sparsely settled county mis-
spelled his title four or five
times in a certain document.
This shows in the first place,
that the applicant for an office
should have at least a high
school education. In some coun-
ties it is difficult to find a per-
