Attend Washington
Celebration At Laredo
The annual Washington cele-
bration held jointly by the United
States and Mexico at Laredo and
NeumLaredo, where the most
gbecu*r river in the world flows,
b&ing as we are in the habit of
referring to it; wet on one side
and dry on the other.
This year's celebration was ex
ceptionally good. It was esti
mated that 20,000 visiters were
there for the occasion. The La*
redo people certainly co-operate
to make the stranger within
their gates feel at fiome. A new
9 story hotel had just been com-
pleted yet every room was en-
gaged before the celebration
stasted. Bat by previous ar*
rangement every citizen in La-
redo who had a spare room let it
be known and everyone was
taken care of.
Schulenburgand Payette coun
ty was well represented. The
Cornelson Happy Seven fu rnish-
ing the music at the Bohemian
Club in Mexico are making the
biggest hit they have ever made
anywhere, the people are wild
about thsir music. They can
play there year around if they
-want the job. This club is the
§ most popular place there. It has
very conservatively esti-
>d that this place took in be-
tween $5000 and $10,000 each
day.
The bull tight was the big card
as usual, and as usual was sick-
ening to the Americans, owing
to the brutal way in which
they permit the bulls to gore the
blindfolded horses.
Among the local folks there
this year were Chas. Matula,
Chas. Baumgarten, Sr.. Ernst
Russek, Ofscar Brown, E. A.
Bosl, Louie Pagel, O. H.Wolters,
Herbert Schulz, Ed. Scheler,
Albert Pottbast, Chas. Baum
garten, Jr., "Bill" Loessin,
Frank Lidiak.
Miss Emma Roitsch accom-
panied by two of her chums of
San Marcos spent the week end
with her parents, Monday they
were accompanied to Smithville
by Misses Eliss and Laura Nie-
meyer and Miss Pauler.
i
Roy Baumgarten was a Hous-
ton visitor the first of the week.

Flu Epidemic
An epidemic of the Influenza
is sweeping the country at pres-
ent, thousands of cases being re-
ported in the larger cities with
quite a number of casulties.
The epidemic is some milder
than the one which swept
our country in 1918, however is
taking quite a toll of lives and
warnings are issued by all physi-
cians and health departments to
the public to guard their health.
Several cases have been report-
ed in our immediate section, but
to date we have heard of no
deaths resulting from same.
Many of our people are carry"
ing sore arms nowadays due to
the smallpox vaccination and
many others are anticipating the
pleasant"'past time,t>ut always
"an ounce of prevntion is worth
a pound of cure.
Breaks Arm
The little 7-year-old daughter
of Frank Janacek and wife of
near Bluff recently had the mis"
fortune of breaking her arm.
The little girl was immediately
given medical attention, the
broken member reset and we
are glad to report her all O. K.
again.
Announces For
Commissioner
Ferd. Yoitle who has been
commissioner of this precinct
for several terms has authorized
us to annonnce that he will be a
candidate for re-election subject
to the democratic primary July
24th.
Commissioner Voitle has made
a good man on the job, he has
worked hard and faithfully with
the funds he had at bis disposal
to keep the roads in good shape.
The limited amount of money
keeps him from doing all the
road work he would like to do.
Voitle speaks all three of the
local languages and in this man-
ner is able to converse with
everyone and get the best result*
from the people throughout his
district.
He quit farming this past year
so that he could give his entire
time to his duty as commissioner.
We are placing his name in the
proper column for the voters at*
lention.

Good Road Work
Commissioner Voitle has had
his crew busy for several days
grading the road from Berger's
orner on in to High Hill and
about a mile on out on the Frey-
burg road. This road has been
in bad shape for a long time and
during bad weather is almost im*
passible but since our commis-
sioner has had bold of it there
isn't a better country road in
this part of the country. The
farmers out in this section who
have to travel this road should
all feel grateful to Mr. Voitle for
the splendid work put in here.
Ad. Farek Now Salesman
Ad. Farek who for several
years has been connected with
the Wm. Hajek Confectionery in
our city has resigned his posi*
tion and is now on the road re
presenting one of the largest
candy concers in Texas. Ad. is
a mighty fine young man in
every respect and is sure to
make good with the company be
is now representing, courteous
and polite and will make friends
wherever he goes, which will
naturally pull him a nice busi
ness. We are glad to know that
he will continue to make Schu-
lenburg his headquarters. We
wish Ad. abundant success in
his new profession.
The Oil Outlook
After a weeks close down the
Killam well No.l, on the Koether
farm near Swiss Alp has again
resumed operation, drilling be-
ing resumed Monday morning.
Activities at this well ceased
for a week in order that the der-
rick might be reinforced, the
old derrick being unable to stand
any greater strain, they being
down at that time to a depth of
2170 feet. Now that the derrick
has been reinforced we under-
siand those in charee propose to
go on down to a depth of prob-
ably 4000 feet in an effort to
locate a pool of the liquid gold,
that is if it isn't encountered be-
fore that depth. At any rate a
thorough test is to be made in
this hole. Indications we under-
stand are better all the time.
We understand more drilling
is to begin near Schulenburg in
the near future.
The Red Banks people who
are drilling a few miles north of
Flatonia have resumed drilling
we understand. This well was
closed down some ten days ago
on account of the drills having
been hung, due to the crooked
hole. The hole was reamed out
however and drilling has again
been resumed with mighty good
indications.
The city water well in the city
of Flatonia proper has again re-
sumed drilling after a few days
close during which time a core
was taken in the hopes that oil
had been encountered. However
we understand it proved to be
only a bed of lignite.

this county for a number of
years as County clerk has

In returning to the democratic
party he stated that he wste re-
turning to the house of his

had not been for his democratic
friends he would not have been
elected last time.

of the best County clerks this
county has ever had. Anyone
can send papers to his office and
get them back without any delay.
This office under his manage*
m«nt certainly renders prompt

tion.

C. W. Amberg is one of the
old democratic war horses who
stayed with the party when
many deserted it, he could have
been elected to office had he went
over to the other parties, but no,
he rather suffered defeat than

without distinction, he is effici-
ent and his office has rendered

this happy young couple.
After the wedding a delicious

Announces For
Tax Collector
Geo. L. Haidused has author-
ized this paper to announce that
he is a candidate for the office of
tax collector of Fayette county
subject to the Democratic Pri-
mary, July 24., 1926.
George, as he is better known,
is now the mayor of the city of
LaG range, he is associated in
business with his father, Judge
A. Haiddusek in publishing the
Svoboda.
George is a good old Democrat,
in years gone by when the dark
clouds hung over the Democratic
candidates he ever espoused
tbeir cause. Last election he was
Democratic Chairman of Fayette
County and through his able
leadership, the Democrats once
more ruled in the courthouse at
LaGrange.
George is a mighty popular
man in Fayette County and a
man that it will be mighty hard
to beat. We predict that he will
be elected. His name is placed
in the proper column for the
voters attention.

war-horse) has authorized this
paper to announce this week

more than any of tbe City
fathers. Everybody knows him,
and be will undoubtedly be re-
elected by a big vote. His name
is placed in the proper column
for the voters attention.

ing the interior of their place
or business treated to a new coat
ot paint. TJie ceiling will be a
cream color and the walls white,
and give the place a much nicer
appearance. Lester and Horner
have charge of the work.
Fire Insurance Kate
Raised 15 Per Cent
-4^1
Last week this paper carried
an item stating the fire insur-
ance premiums hereafter would
be reduced 3 per cent. This was
the information sent out by the
department at Austin. This
week they issued a correction,
cancelline this decrease of 3 per
cent and increased the rates in-
stead 15 per cent higher than
they now are. The loss ratio
claimed shows Schulenburg's
loss .995 which accounts for
this increase. This covers all
policies issued covering all prop-
erty in Schulenburg.
This is hard on the business
men of this town, they have been
giving every co-operation toward
the fire department in buying
pumpers, hose, now a siren, etc.,
and instead of effecting a saving
by improving we are taxed 15
per cent more than ever. Our
extension in water mains, more
fire plugs and all these things,
should have reduced our rate.
We do not know where the
trouble lies,it is true we had sev-
eral bad fires the past few years
with heavy losses to the insurs
ance companies.
If the town was a little larger
we would suggest putting on a
few firemen, and putting them
on a salary to stay on the job all
tbe time instead of the present
system where! everyone is a fire-
man and no one is a fireman,
when the alarm sounds people
come from all directions and by
the time they get their con
tion* made the fire is too far
gone and its too late to do any
good, or little at best.
