•how a vast iucrease, No cities
m the U. b. can compete with
Houston and Galveston relative
to the increase of business from
year to year. These two cities are
to be congratulated upon being the
home of such papers as are the
Post and News.
In looking over tho social news
of the Sunday News and Post we
note that Schulenburg was quite
lively last week socially. What
we cannot understand is why the
Sticker cannot also bg furnished
with these items. We would ap-
preciate them as much or more
than the daily papers, and at the
same time you would be helping
out your home paper. We pre
sume a country editor is supposed
to be a wizzard and should know
everything that happens and just
omits them because he wants to.
Bemi occasionally we stumble up
against a social item and it appears
it the paper but it is an imposibil
lty to report all unless we are in-
formed of them. Now, these soci
al items appearing in the Sunday
dailies, which very few see, could
just as well been furnish the home
paper which goes to almost every
famil} in the city and vicinity.
Neither the Post or News pay a
cent to keep up Bchulenburg or
Fayette county but the home pa-
per does and deserves your sup*
port editorially as well as finan-
cially,

Now, for gasoline and oil stoves. I have a complete new line of
PERFECTION, safe, economical and oderless. The wonderful blue
flame oil stove is a new idea in oil stove construction. Next to a steel
range it is the best cooking apparatus made. *
Our famous STERLING gasoline stoves are a close second they
have many new devices for safety and better heating facilities. Don't
fail to see our line before buying.

H. P. SCHAEFER,
Sc/tuj snburg,
Mr. Editor:—Having become a
member of the Farmers' Union re-
cently and as I know the Sticker
being the organ of this District
Union I wish to give my opinion
which I have formed after watch-
ing tho business and work of the
union. As to the business meth-
ods followed by the union I believe
them as good as can be expected if
the rulls are strictly obeyed, but
one thing 1 think quite unneces-
sary and endangers or hinders the
growth of the union, is the entire
ritual and secrecy about the union
which .is of no use. whatever to
hold the members together and 1
am sure if it were not for the rit-
ual, secret signs, etc., the union
would have more members and the
members would again work more
for the good cause. A.
LETTER TO R. A. WOLTERS
Schulenburg, Texas.
Dear Sir: They won't fool him
any more with paste paint; they'll
try something-else!
Editor Saulsbury, Dover, Dela-
ware, having used 31 gallons paste
paint on his house, bought 31 gal-
lons Devoe for it. He had enough
left for a new stable 20 by SO and
a new fence, and returned four
gallons.
Paste paint has as many tricks
as a bunco-steerer.
Yours truly

LETTER TO 0 B SCHWENKE.
Schulenburg, Texas.
Dear Sil: You may like to know
what eou pay for the paint in a
gallon of ."paint", assumiug the
pure-paiut part of all "paints" to
be all alike: which it ign'l; and
worth $1.75 a gallon.
Of a paiut adulaterated 10 cent,
the pure-paint part brings $1.94 a
gallon.
15 per cent brings $2,06 a gallon
25 '• 213
33fr 11 2.62
50 " 3.00 "
75 " 7.00
The average adulteration of
paint in this couutry is about one-
third :so, you see the average price
the Amerxcan people are "paying
for paint is about $2.62 a gallon,
It is a game of wits. Adultera-
tors are always too sharp for the
bulk of consumers. Poople'won't
pay $1.75 a gallon for paint. So
they pay $2,62 a gallon for paint
mixed with it. (The/ pay the
painter, besides, from $2 to $4 for
painting those useless gallons.)
Why do they do it? They don't
know Devoe.
Yours truly

HIGH HILL CATHOLIC CHURCH.
The above is an exact likeness
of the beautiful Catholic church at
High Hill, located two miles north
cast of Schulenburg. This mag-
uiiicent structure was erected in
1906 by the citizens of that little
hamlet at a cost $85,000. Mr.
Joel Meyer contracted for the brick
work and Mr. Frank Bohlmann,
the wook work and it is through
their skilled workmanship that
the church owes its beauty, it be-
ing one of the most beautiful build-
ings m the state and would be an
honor to any city in the U. S.
The Catholic congregation was
organized in 1861 and a church
was ^immediately erected, after-
wards being replaced by a new one
in 1870, and nowf* the present one
stands as a monument to the faith-
ful members.
Under the faithful guidance for
the past nine years, of Father Ger-
lach, through whose tireless efforts
the church was erected, the con-
gregation is in a flourishing condi-
tion, there being now 125 families
belonging to the congregation.
gSSBE-g3WBBHB~Bgg II > I
The Men's society with 60 mem-
bers; Married Ladies' society, 80
members; Young Men's society, 30
members and the Young Ladies'
society with 40 members are all in
a flourishing condition and are
regularly attended. Two schools
are successfully conducted by four
Sisters of Diyine Providence with
an enrollment of 180 pupils.
The members of the High Hill
congregation should be proud of
their church building and of the
success that attends them and
theirs.
