Citizens in farms or cities are now
enjoying low cost L.C.R.A. electricity.
The modem comforts of home are pro-
vided and many hours of farm labor are
possible at lowest cost.
One KWH of electricity docs the labor
of from 2 to 9 days, and an L.C.R.A.
KWH costs only a few moments of com-
mon labor, making for bigger farm
profits.

Austin, July 17.—Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, State Health Officer,
states that infantile paralysis,
like typhoid fever, is largely a
summer disease. Although cases
may occur during any month
cf the year, over half the total
cases occur during July, Au-
gust, September and October.
Through June 30, fifty-three
cases of poliomyelitis (infan-
tile paralysis) had been report-
ed to the State Health Depart-
ment. I
Direct contact between per-
sons is the chief factor in the
spread of infantile paralysis.
Because of the seasonal pre-
valance of the disease, flies and
other insects have been sus-
pected of conveying the virus
or germ. Insect transmission
has not, however, been demon-
strated. Although animals are
subject to paralysis, they are
seemingly not susceptible to the
Cotton firms and cotton far-
mers of New Ulm and surround-
ing area were called on by
President Oscar Johnson of the
National Cotton Council for
“100 per cent allegiance in cot-
ton’s total war for increased
consumption.”
In a message addressed to
local producers throughout the
county President Johnson de-
clared that * the raw cotton
industry is arming as never be-
fore in its history to smash
down the blitzkrieg of sub-
stitutes, surplus, and foreign
competition.”
The message
taneously with
Cotton Council’s
of a “universal
to provide funds with which to
carry on the fight during the
coming year. The new plan, to
go into effect August 1, calls
for a defense fund of five cents
on every bale of lint and three
cents on every ton of seed,
mobilized with the help of each
of the five primary raw cotton
interests.
Under the new plan, arrange-
ments have been perfected en-
abling the producer to make
his nickel-a-bale contribution at
the first point of sale, either
to the cotton merchant, large
or small, or the ginner or ware-
houseman acting as merchant
This contribution is carried on
from merchant to compressor,
who remits the accumulated
funds to the Council when the
bale is first compressed, or from |
merchant to textile mill which
remits on uncompressed cotton.
Similarly, contributions on
seed, which are made by the
ginner and crusher, are assem-
bled and remitted to the war
chest bv the oil mills.
“Fcr fifty years ’we cotton
farmers Ijave been talking a-
bout an organization like the
National Cotton Council to de-
fend cur markets and find new
ones through judicious adver-
tising, intelligent research, and
organized opposition to re-
strictive legislation. At last we
have it. and in two years, equip-
ped with modern weapons, it
has accomplished more than
any of us thought was possible
in eo short a period.
“Domestic consumption has
bean brought back virtitallj
to the all-time high, with every
indication that a new record can
be set in 1941. Plans are ready
for a vigorous attack on the
acute problem of foreign trade.
Council scientists are on the
trail of new uses. A united cot-
ton industry has gone to war.”
Miss Inez Rinn, accompanied
by her father, Ben Rinn, of In-
dustry were business visitors
in New Ulm Saturday.

mantle of gloom was cast over
Hallettsville and surrounding
community Thursday evening I
about 7:30 o’clock when it be-1
came known that Mrs. Laura
Strickler had been found dead
in the smoke-house at her
home in West End, evidently
having died by her own hard,
sometime during the day, ths
Gruesome find having been
made by her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Robert Fertsch, about 7 :00 p.
m.
It was the opinion of Dr.
Harvey Renger, who viewed the
body, and Squire L. W. Hobbs
who held the inquest that, from I
indications, she had been deadi
many hours, possibly since ear-
ly morning, as he had not been
seen since about 8 a. m. Thurs-
day and the physical condition
of the body indicated life had I
been extinct for possibly, ten or I
twelve hours. Her health had I
not been the best for several
months. I
Born Laura Fertsch, the I
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theo. ||
Fertsch (the latter now de-1]
ceased) at Old Kinkier, she had I
lived her entire lifetime in La- I
vaca county. She had been I
twice married, first to Edmund I
Schaefer, -who died in the World I
War, leaving her a little son, I
Benjamin, who, in 1931 was I
killed in a motorcycle accident I
hear Victoria. Ten years ago I
she was married to H. W. I
Strickler, but no children were I
born to them. She was a good I
^oman, a good neighbor and a I
true friend; and was an active I
member of the Lutheran church I
and Lutheran aid society. I
'She is survived by her aged I
father, Theo. Fertsch, four bro- I
thers, Louis, Emil, Adolph, Ed- I
niund of New Kinkier; one bro- I
ther, Robt., died irt 1937. One I

SOME OF THE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ELECT
SENATOR L. J. SULAK
CONGRESSMAN
FROM THE NINTH DISTRICT:
He urderatandH the agricultural problem and offers a
comprehensive plan for the rehabilitation of agriculture.
He favors establishing a governmental agency modeled
after the RFC to finance the purchase of homes for worthy
tenant farmers with no cash payment down. He would re-
quire only proof by responsible local people that the appli-
cant is honest, hard-working and pays his debts. He would
let the applicant choose his farm, apply for a k>an, have it
appraised by the government agency and, if the price is
right, pay for the farm, giving the farmer (40) years to
repay the principal with interest not exceeding (3%) per
cent.
He stands for an adequate old age pension to be paid
by the Federal government, relieving the states from the
present set-up of matching dollars. He stands for equal
pensions to all qualified citizens regardless of what state
they reside in.
He stands for the rights of fanners and labor to or-
ganize for the advancement of their own interests.
He stands for lower freight rates and is pledged to
remove existing discrimination against Texas. He favors
an ICC representing every section of the country and equal
freight rates for every section of the country.
He favors reduction of tariff rates or, as an alterna-
tive, he demands higher subsidy to farmers to off-set the
prices they pay under our high tariff system.
He favors keep the United States out of war. He favors
the Monroe Doctrine which denies European powers the
right to meddle in the affairs of the Americas. He favors
adequate national defense to protect this country against
an attack by any nation or group of nations. He is opposed
to sending our troops to Europe to fight in the wars of
Europe.
He favors cultivating the good will and friendship of
ail nations and strengthening our commercial relations
with all of them, especially our South American neighbors.
He has six years of legislative experience in the Texas
senate.
He has a record of achievements. He was author or
co-author of some of the most important legislation enacted
in recent years in Texas.
He has sound and constructive ideas on government
and will represent the ninth district with credit to Che
people who elect him.
He holds the incumbent, Mr. Mansfield, in high esteem.
He does say, however, that Mr. Mansfield, who will be
eighty (80) years of age next February 9, is too old to
render that type of service which the people have a right
to expect from their congressman in these trying times.
He says that the people can do Mr. Mansfield no
8Te*ter favor than to relieve him of the responsibilities of
the office, let him come home and spend the sun-set of his
life among friends, reviewing his fine record, rest and re-
gam his health. It will add several years to his life to re-
tire him and relieve him of his strenuous duties—duties
which he has been unable to discharge due to advanced
age and failing health.
