THE SCHULENBURG STICK
Vol. XXIX
Sc&ulenburg, Fayette County, Texas, Friday, August 10. 1923
Su
cftool Class
Visits Yoakum
Mrs. E. C. Weathers and her
Sunday School class of Schulen-
burg motored to Yoakum Sun-
day to be with the Yoakum class,
which visited here a few Sun-
ago.
The two classes met as old
friends and attended Sunday
School and Church together.
The Schulenburg crowd was
extended a hearty welcome by
all.
After Church the group drove
out to one of Yoakum's pretty
camps where all were invited to
partake of a delicious chicken
lunch with everything that goes
with it.
When appetites were satisfied,
the girls and boys "threw care
to the winds" and enjoyed the
swings and see-saw for a while.
Then the entire crowd motor-
ist ed to the Lakeside Plunging
Pool, where a refreshing swim
was taken.
Besides the swimming and
other pleasures, the Yoakum
class took the Schulenburg group
for a ride to see the town.
As a whole a most delightful
day was spent. Yoakum is a
fine little city and its people the
best we ever met.
We hope to batfe Mrs. Chris.
Johnson and her Yoakum class
with us in the near future, when
we shall try to show them as
grand a time as they showed us.
Meanwhile, all of you girls and
boys of Schulenburg, who don't
belong to a Sunday School class,
? bad better manage to be in Mrs.
Weathers' class before another
Sunday passes. You've already
mm missed a "lot", including two
3tings with the jolly Yoakum
group, and If you are not "one
of us," next time, it's your own
hard luck.

Fire Does No Damage
Last Saturday night about 8 30
the fire bell ^sounded the alarm
and the fire company rushed to
the Ike Lippman home where the
lire was reported, but upon ar-
riving it was found that only the
electric wiring bad set itself afire
and burned. Ike stated he heard
. a cracking noise and smelled
the smoke and thought his whole
bouse was on tire.
Special

Methodist Ep isco p al

M. E. Church, San
Antonio, will conduct

ally invited to attend.

A Bad Case Of Carbuncles
Our friend Rudolph Klesel re*
cently underwent an operation
at the LaGrange Hospital, he
having three large carbuncles
about the size of hen eggs im-
mediately under bis left arm
lanced. The carbuncles were
very bad and Mr. Klesel was on
the operating table for an hour
and ten minutes, it being neces-
sary to administer ether before
making the operation. After a
few days at the LaGrange hospi-
tal he was sent to San Antonio
where an X-ray picture was
taken of the wounds. We are
glad to see him out again and
trust ere long all dangers of
complication will have passed.
Mr. Klesel while in town Tues-
day was a pleasant caller at the
Sticker office and ordered us to
set his subscription date up
another year which we take
pleasure in doing.
Postmaster Resigns
The New Picture Show
The Cozy Theatre, the new
picture show just across the
street from the Sticker Office,
opened its doors with a hig free
show Saturday night and was
greeted with an overflowing
crowd, in fact the attendance
was so great that a second show
was necessary as the large crowd
could not be seated at* the first
show. With the many fans dis-
tributing their breezes over the
audience and the music from the
new piano coupled with the
splendid picture shown, every-
one was well pleased with the
entertainment furnished by the
Cozy managers.
New Pastor
It was announced recently that
Rev. W. C. Dorre of Chicago, a
recent graduate of St. Louis
Lutheran Seminary, has accept-
ed the call of the Lutheran
church of Swiss Alp. He will
also serve Schulenburg and Mul-
doon regularly. Rev. Dorre
comes highly recommended, hav-
ing studied for 6 years at the
Concordia College, Ft. Wayne,
Ind. and for 3 years been a
student at the Theological semi-
nary. The past year, Pastor M.
C. Stoppenhagen accepted a call
to Wallis, the Swiss Alp congre-
gation was then served by Rev.
A. E. Moebus of La Grange, who
also installed preaching services
at Schulenburg and Muldoon.
Buys Lots Here
Mrs. Bittner, the mother ot
our townsman, Fred Bittner, last
week purchased 4the vacaant lots
adjoining Mr. Schlottmann's

she plans to build a house on
these lots and move to Schulen*
burg, some time this fall. The
price paid was $1000.

Mrs. Adolph Opela of near
Schulenburg was bit by some
kind of snake Monday night at

DENTIST
Office over First National Bank
Postmaster Herman Eck has
sent his resignation to the postal
department at Washington to
take effect as soon as it is possi-
ble to get someone to relieve
him. Mr. Eck stated that the
position was too confining for his
health. He will again be the
rural route carrier on his old
route. Just who will succeed
Mr. Eck is as vet unknown, we
hoDe to be able to inform our
readers of his name next week.
Mr. Eck made a good postmas-
ter and it is with regret we see
him resign. Mr. Eck is the third
postmaster under the Repub-
lican administration or since
President Harding took office.
His successor will be the fourth
in about two years.
Emil Schulz, Sr., Injured
Emii Schulz, Sr., was walking
in his back yark at home last
Saturday when he fainted and
fell his head striking a sharp
corner, a bad scalp wound was
made across the top of his head.
His wife who was in the house
heard®him groaning and rushed
out finding him lying there. He
lost considerable blood. He is
reported to be getting along
nicely now.
Mrs. Dave Shapiro
Mrs. Tillie Shapiro, aged 23,
died in a hospital at San Antonio
Tuesday afternoon. She is sur-
vived by her husband and two
children, Morris and Sarah.
Funeral services were held Wed-
nesday afternoon, Rabbi Solo-
mon officiating.
Mrs. Shapiro made her home
here for about a year. Dave was
formerly a partner here of Ike
Lippman. The Sticker joins
his friends here in extending
heartfelt sympathy.
Cotton Worms Bad.
The green cotton worms are
working havoic with the cotton
crops around here. Most all of
the farmers report having pois-
oned their cotton two and three
times, some report their crop
was cut one-third by the worms.
lust what the total damage
around here will be is as yet un-
estimable, but it will run into
the tens of thousands of dollars.
Some farmers report that their
crop will not be as good as last
year, however most of them will
be equally as good and better.
The boll weevils are not doing
much damage as far as we are
able to learn. Some farmers
report cotton worms of the large
variety which bore into the boll
eat and breed therein.
It is sincerely hoped that no
rain falls until the cotton season
is over as this will only cause a
shorter crop with a poorer grade.
Eyes Operated On
• Ernst Russek, the popular
banker, had two cataracts cut off ■
of his eyes last Thursday after-
noon. Dr. Kent performed the
operation.
Ernst was removed to his home
and remained there with his
eyes bandaged until Tuesday
morning at which time the
stiches were removed from his
eyes. He is reported to be get-
ting along fine.

ineomplele, but he plans at an
early dat to erect a nice brick
business house in place of the
wooden house which was recent
ly oceupied by a restaurant and
cold drink establishment. Event-
ually he plans to replace all these
buildings with modern brick and
plate glass store buildings. We
know that this will be good news
for the people here.

death. Our sympathy goes out
to the bereaved relatives.

More Streets Graveled
The streets of Schulenburg
are getting better, this week the
loop was completed connecting
with, the Highway at the Prat-
ka's store corner. Graveling
was then started or Anderson
Street from Herzik's Studio to
the Sticker office, which forms
another complete connection
with the highway coming around
in /ront of H. P. Schaefer's home
by Helmcamp's Tire Shop, etc.
Next in order will be graveling
from Schaefer's gin up' to the
Ball Park then across to the
main highway at Judge Vogt's
home, this will make a nice drive.
We would like to see other
streets in the town graveled and
fixed up while the work is going
on, nothing like good streets to
show up a town.

Bennett Cotton
The Bennett big boll cotton
which last season produced irom
38 to 43 per cent lint is holding
its own again this year. Max |
Fowlkes' first bale brought from
1400 pounds of seed cotton a 570
pound bale which figures 40 and
13-14 per cent. E8. Hass' first
bale had 1300 pounds which pro-
duced a 540 pound bale, about
39 per cent. Max Fowlkes stat-
ed Wednesday morning that he
bad one patch of 18 acres which
would produce not less than 20
bales. Max says if there is any
better seed than the Bennet Big
Boll any one that wants it can
have it, he is satisfied with the
Bennett and don't want any
other kind. He claims that >hen
he first heard of the Bennett
Big Boll and its yield he laughed
at the idea but today he has it
all planted in his field and will
never plant anything else. Neu-
ces county, which includes the
Taft ranches, Robstown, etc.,
has better than 98 per cent of ali
cotton planted in Bennett Big
Boll. Chas Baumgarten s
that he still has a ii
seed left which he can
next years crop. We advise'
friends to see him at once/
book some.
