Hempstead, Tex., Oct. 19.—
Cotton ginnings in Waller coun-
ty picked up during September,
according to the official report
of Mr. C. H. Urban, special
agent of the department of com-
merce, over 4,000 bales being
ginned in that month. Ginnings

as compared to 7,955 for the
same period last year. A con-
Hawks Killed To
Be Paid in Valley
Harlingen, Oct. 17.—A hawk-
killing contest, with cash prizes;
offered, in an effort to help rid
the valley of these killers of
game birds, has started by the
Harlingen Chamber of Com-
merce. The contest will close
January 1.
At that time, according to
John T. Floore, manager, a first
prize of $25 will be given to
the person killing the most
hawks, with a second prize of
$15 and a third of $10.
Bounties have been given by
Brownsville sportsmen the past
few months on hawk heads in
an effort to rid the section of
them.

in what is now Texas, but
which was then a part of
Mexico. From the outset the
colonists from the United States
had difficulty with their Mexi-
can masters. Texas and Coahuila
were combined under one gov-
ernment at that early day, and
Austin, a few years after es-
tablishing his colony, of which
he was designated "Empresario"
went to the City of Mexico with
a view of obtaining separation
from Coahuila, but succeeded
only in getting himself into
prison, where he was forced to
remain for a year and a half.
Finally regaining his freedom
he returned to his “empire” and
Texas immediately declared war
on Mexico)
The fall of the Alamo and
the battle of San Jacinto follow-
ed, but before final victory was
achieved, General Sam Hous-
ton, who during "Empeeror”
Austin’s illness had succeeded
to the head of the army, found
it necessary to order the burn-
ing of San Felipe de Austin to
prevent its falling into the
hands of Santa Ana and his
pursuing Mexican army. Subse-
quent to the capture of Santa
Ana and the winning of Texas
liberty, the settlers of San
Felipe returned and rebuilt their
ruined village.
One of the landmarks of this
first settlement is the old well
which provided the water supply
for “Emperor” Austin and Gen-
eral Houston. A few years ago
the town of San Felipe donated
seven acres for a park and
through the efforts of the late
W. S. Smith, then county super-
intendent of schools, a monu-
ment was erected to the mem-
ory of the “father of Texas,”
the granite shaft having been
purchased from a fund raised
by school children. The old well
was fully restored through the
efforts of the chamber of com-
merce of the city of Sealy.—M-

La Grange, Oct. 17.—L. J.
Sulak, ‘editor of the Fayette
County Record, published here,
and also publisher of the Svo-
boda of El Campo, announced
today his candidacy for con-
gressman-at-large for one of
the three places to be filled in
the election next year.
He said his platform, to be
announced in detail later, would
embrace liberalization of the
federal reserve bank law, ex-
tension of power to federal farm
loan banks, higher income and
inheritance taxes in the higher
brackets, cash payment of ad-
justed compensation to veterans
of the world war, modification
of the Volstead Act, curbing of
injunctions in labor disputes
and effective farm relief.
Sulak has been a leader in
farm organizations for many
years. He called a Farmer-Labor
political conference in Texas in
1922, to seek co-operation in ob-
taining representation for both
groups.
He declared he would make
an active campaign, visiting
every county in Texas.
“For 11 years I tried to get
rid of constipation,” says Chas.
E. Blair. “Then at last the sim-
ple mixture, Adlerikt, made me
regular.”
The simple mixture of glycer-
in, buckthorn bark, saline, etc.,
(Adlerika) acts on BOTH up-
per and lower bowel, relieving
constipation in 2 hours! Brings
out poisons you never thought
were in your system. Let Ad-
lerika give your stomach and
bowels a REAL cleaning and
see how good you feel! W. F.

purchasing electricity from cer-
tral station companies for light-
ing arid for operating various
electrical appliances.
Ten years ago but 35 out of
each 100 families used electri-
city.
No other fact. perhaps. can
show so completely the achieve-
ment of the electric industry in
bringing its service within the
reach of almost every home.
The great bulk of homes which
still have no service are located
on farms, and electric facilities
are being extended into those
areas as rapidly as conditions
permit. The growth of the great
interconnected electric systems,
serving dozens or hundreds of
separate communities, has made
possible the almost universal ap-
plication of low-priced electric
service to daily tasks.
In 1929 the nation’s entire
domestic electric bill- was a-
round $604,000,000—about $5.
per year per capita. In com-
parison with this, the average
person spent $16.50 for tobacco
$8.50 for candy, $9.50 for read-
ing matter and $182 for food.
It is a demonstrable fact that
the cost of electric service
At the little station of San
Felipe on the Katy’s Houston
line, a celebration will be held
November 11 that has state and
national significance, although
chiefly local in character. It will
be in commemoration of the
founding of citizens of San
Felipe—first settlement of citi-
zens of the United States in
Texas—by Stephen F. Austin,
Father of Texas. Since the un-
veiling of a monument to Aus-
tin on the site of the old village
of San Felipe in November, 1928
the people of that locality have
annually observed this historic
event.
The story of San Felipe is
one of romance and its entire
history, from that remote date
of settlement more than a cen-
tury ago to the present is
quaintly unusual. In some re-
spects the life is communal—
that is, there is common owner-
ship of much of the real estate.
Boasting only a few stores, a
community building, the post
office and the M-K-T station,
the village itself is small, but
the wealth of its inhabitants per
capita is said to be almost as
great as that of the Osage
Indians, reputed to be the
wealthiest tribe or group per
capita in America. In San
Felipe this comes from the un-
usual character of the original
settlement.
From proceeds of lands still
held in community ownership
this village of 250 population
suports its, schools and other
public services. It is a town
without local taxation, and with
a surplus of several thousand
dollars in its treasury. San
Felipe which is about a mile
north of the Katy mainline and
station, is economically ad-
ministered. The mayor and
aldermen receive each a yearly
salary of $25 and the treasurer
$50 a year for keeping the cash
and books. W. J. Frederich, who
has been mayor for 30 years,
has made many improvements
in the schools, the city hall, and
other city properties besides
having doubled the $14,000
found in the treasury when he
assumed office.

Homeseekers Are Invited
Through Mr. Frederich San
Felipe invites the home seeker
and points out that here are
free schools, free water, free
fuel and free religion, in a
village whose income from its
securities is more than it can
spend. There still remains some
4,000 acres of land in common
ownership, but the town does
not purpose selling any more,
preferring to keep it for free
fuel and range.
R. C. Kunze is at present
serving San Felipe as mayor.
San Felipe is the outgrowth
of a land grant made by the

THE CARE OF SILVER
There is now a brand of
specially treated white tissue
paper in which to wrap any
silver you may want to put
away. This tissue prevents the
silver from getting tarnished.
It’s also a fine thing in which
to wrap silver and gold metal
brocade evening slippers. It
keeps them free from tarnish,
too.
And speaking of silver tar-
nishing, keep anything with
rubber in it away from your
silver, for rubber tarnishes
yilver badly. Even one ..little
rubber band around a box* of
silver will tarnish the silver in
a few short hours.
