Schuslenbnrg Defeats
Flatonia Sunday
Is**'-'
In a rather one sided ball game
it Flatonia last Sunday after-
jn, Schulenburg defeated Fla-
lia 4 to 2. Sralla bad the Fla-
)nia team at his mercy, allowing
jt three hits during the day.
For the first seven innings Fla-
tonia never got a hit, only one
man was on base up to this time,
he got there when our catcher
missed the third strike.
The Schulenburg boys did
not work hard after the first in-
ning in which they made two
runs. However they gave the
fielders plenty of exercise.
For an all home team, Flatonia
has perhaps the best there is in
this section, their boys play good
ball.
Sunday afternoon a fat and
lean ball game will be played at
the baseball park. Every busi-
ness house will furnish players.
If you want a good hearty laugh
and want te see some good com-
edy, be at the ball park Sunday
afternoon, all for the benefit of
the Domestic Science depart-
ment.

The Domestic
Science Department
The opening of the doors of
the Domestic Science Kitchen to
the public proved a revelation
and the many who passed
through this beautifully appoint-
ed room in the early morning
hours as well as from 4 to 6 in
the afternoon were enthusiastic
in their pleasure at the work ac-
complished. Amongst the visit-
ors were Supt. Mason and seven
or eight members of Flatonia's
School Club. Their continued
interest in Schulenburg's wel-
fare is a matter of deep appre-
ciation by its Club Members.
The kitchen equipment was
undertaken by the School Club
of our town when the School
Board found • itself inadequate
to meet the required expenditure
of $700.00 or more. •
With characteristic courage
and an eye to' the coveted affilia-
tion, the members of this club
stepped forward with the an-
nouncement that they would
raise the necessary |funds
through the summer months,
when school work heretofore
had been laid aside.
The women of our town at
large and the business men who
had the necessary wares for
sale came nobly to the help of
the Club and it would be unfair
or unjust to say that any one
committee accomplished the
wonderful results shown. With-
out the hard work of the mem-
bers or without the liberal con-
tributions of our citizens, no
such results as have been shown
could have been achieved. It has
been a remarkable lesson in
harmonious unity of action that
could be profitably followed by
nations at large.
The kitchen was equipped for
twelve students and all the pur-
chases made are of the best
wearing quality, procured at
wholesale prices through local
merchants. The equipment con-
sists of the following: 1 four
burner alcazor oil stove with two
ovens. 5 two burner alcazor oil
stoves. 6 fully equipped porce
lain top kitchen cabinets. 12
stools. 1 built in wall cabinet.
! large ice box. 1 sink with
drain board and outlet into cess
pool, 4 windows and door
screened, floor oiled. $100.00
worth of aluminum and white
agate kitchen utensils. 3*ivory
and blue enameled breakfast
room tables. 12 ivory and blue
enameled breakfast room chairs.
1 complete dinner set of white
and gold china dishes, including
twelve each of three size plates,
cups and saucers, soup bowls,
vegetable dishes, meat platters,
etc. 12 cut glass water glasses.
12 cut glass ice tea glasses. 12
cut glasses sherbertor icecream
dishes. 3 cut glasses salad
bowls, 3 cut glass bud vases. 4
cut glass sugar and creamers.
12 Roger's silver knives and
forks. 12 Roger's silver salad
forks. 12 Roger's silver soup
spoons. 12 Roger's silver table
spoons. 12 Roger's silver ice
tea spoons. 18 Roger's silver
tea spopns. Sugar shells, but-
ter knives, meat forks, gravy
ladles, berry spoons and other
necessary silver ware to match.
1 carving set. Table cloths,
napkins, tea towels, etc. In-
cluding the dining room equip-
ment more than $500.00 has been
raised and expended, a debt of
approximately $300.00 remains,

Joe Kainer Succumbs to
Injuries Last Friday
Joe Kainer who was serious-
ly injured about two weeks ago
when his car was hit by another
car in LaGrange, died last Fri-
day morning at t.he LaGrange
Hospital.
Every medical aid was render-
ed, five specialists were called in,
including Dr. Hill of Houston,but
to no avail, the Lord'willed other-
wise.
Mr. Kainer was born and
grew to young manhood in Schu-
lenburg. His parents at one
time operated a hotel here,
where Schwartz Brothers' place
now is. k This hotel was burned
down many years ago- Mr.
Kainer attended school in Schu-
lenburg and lived here with his
parents until he was 16 years of
age, the family then moved to
LaGrange.
The body was laid to rest in
LaGrange last Sunday morning
in the presence of a large con-
course of mourning relatives
and friends.
The Sticker tenders its sin-
cere sympathy to the bereaved
relatives

School Officially Opened
The 1923-24 school term was
officially opened promptly at 9
o'clock Monday morning.
A large number of parents
and school patrons were there
for the opening ceremony.
The first number on the pro-
gram was a prayer and bibical
discussion by Rev. Kattner, his
lemarks were very appropriate
and contained much food for
thought.
Next on the program was Hon.
Mayor Russek's address. His
address was repiete with good
things and a warm welcome to
the new members of the faculty.
He expressed, in the behalf of
himself and the other parents
who have children at school,
their sincere gratitude to the
Home and School Qlub members
for the Domestic Science room,
he thanked them for the spirit
which they possessed and which
should be in the heart of every
man and woman, that spirit to
do everything with which to ob-
tain knowledge, and fit them-
selves, to properly reflect pride,
not only to the parent but to the
school and the community in
which they were reared. This
is indeed a patriotic appeal to
that better part within us, it
causes one to hesitate and think,
truly here is food for thought.
Our days are few at best, we are
here for only a few more days or
years, and he who would so be-
mean himself as to place stumb-
ling blocks, in the paths of this
future generation, or who would
seek to retard their progress,
or not to assist them to add to
the common stock of knowledge
is truly a drone ifa. the hive of
nature. God created us to be
Rational Industrions beings, let's
live as such.
The next number was a piano
solo by vMiss Katie Cone, her
selection was liberally applaud-
Home Changes Hands

nesday morning between Mrs. G.

ed.
Mr. Robert Schaefer sooke in
behalf of the school board, ex-
plaining to his audience that it
was not the school board who
had equipped the domestic
science room, as the school
boards finances were very limit-
ed, but all thanks for this place
of beauty was due solely to the
good, faithful ladies of the Home
and School Club.
He stated that the two remain
ing rooms from the old school
bouse were sealed for the pur
pose of giving the boys some
kind of training. Just what this
will be or when is unknown.
Superintendent Mears then
issued his instructions to the
students. This completed, the
classes repaired to their rooms
and the work was underway.
