THE SCHULENBURC STICKER
VOL. XXXXI
SCHULENBURG, FAYETTE COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 20th. 1935
NO .46.
Here and There
It -would be a nice asset for the
town of Schulenburg if the new
road would continue to pass
tlurough the town over the same
streets as at present. The mer-
chants would continue to receive
tourist business as they always
have. It would not hurt any busi-
nijss concern but if it goes along
the street two blocks north of Main
Street, then the town of Schulen-
burg will loose several thousand
dollars annually. That is. until the
town moved to the highway,
which it would do, in years to
ccme.
NEW LAUTERSTEIN STORE
OPENING FRIDAY MORNING
It is possible that the Highway
Department will soon make the
necessary moves to enable us to
have a good road connecting Hous-
ton and San Antonio by the time
the Texas Centennial gets under!fa11 they should arrange to get
Spinach Buyer
To Be Stationed
At Schulenburg
The Sticker was informed this
Thursday morning that enough
spinach acreage had already been
secured to assure farmers that a
buyer would be on hand to pur-
chase the crop.
Seed should be planted before
the end of the month and if there
are any other farmers who are in-
terested in planting spinach this
way. At the present time it would
net be inviting to the people of
the East, North and West to see
the existing short link of unfinish-
ed road connecting two of the larg-
est cities in this state. Not only is
the riding over this road tiresome,
but it is extermely dangerous be-
cause it is so narrow and in many
places has rough shoulders on the
sMe. Not a week passes that there
is not a wreck that could have been
avoided if we had better roads. We
•se<s no reason why, since far over
haif of the road is paved that it
could not be completed in the near j The St. Isidore's Lodge will hold
future. Houston wants this work i their State Convention in Schulen-
in touch with Keuper and Krue
ger who can supply them with seed
as well as give them detailed infor-
mation about what they might ex-
pect from their acreage.
This is another step forward in
this section and we are indeed
pleased to see so many farmers
interested in trying to make a lit-
tle side money and not depend on
cotton alone for their means of
making a living.
ST. ISIDORE'S LODGE TO
HOLD CONVENTION HERE
completed and San Antonio should
fe«l the same way about it and we
know every town along the Old
Spanish Trail is anxious for the
completion of one of the oldest and
most historic roads in the his-
tory of Texas and the Southwest.
This road, in our estimation, car-
ries as much, if not more traffic
than any road in the state. There
is no reason why it should not be
the best road, instead of one of
the most dangerous roads, especial
ly since the Texas Centennial next
yeiir will just about double the
amount of traffic now moving over
this highway.
Farmers who raised hogs for
market this year have hit a lucky
yea r as pork is going higher every
day. Little of it is in storage and
prices are going to hold steady
for some time to come. Eggs are
somewhat more scarce than last
year at this time and it looks as
though they are going even high-
within a short time. This is due,
burg on October 7th and 8th.
About 60 delegates, including of-
ficers, will attend the meeting, The
local K. J. Z. T. Ladies will have,
charge of the meals throughout
the convention. This Convention
was held here three years ago,
and due to the co-operation and
hospitality of our good people, the
delegates voted to have the State
Meeting again in our city. A pub-
lic entertainment will probably
take place on Monday night, Oct.,
7th., at Ermis Hall. More details
on this later.
Annual Harvest
Feast At Weimar
The Annual Harvest Feast at
St. Michael's Church, Weimar,
Texas, will be celebrated on Sun-, mer.
The new Lauterstein Store opens
its doors this Friday morning at
8 o'clock. Workmen have been
busy in rushing their work along
so that the opening could be ef-
fected in time to offer the newest
| fall line of goods.
The store, in its self, is one of
I the nicest in the whole of South
Texas, including the large cities.
The fixtures are entirely new and
built to specifications as ordered
by Emanuel and George Lauter-
stein. The lighting system is so
arranged that it is to the benefit
of the customers at all times.
The management of the store
is under the capable supervision
of Mr. M. Uhry, formerly of Lake
Charles. Louisana. He has recen-
ly moved here and has already
made a great number of friends
in our city. He will be assisted, at
the present, by Emanuel and
George Lauterstein, who will keep
.the store under their observance
until Mr. Uhry acquaints himself
with the policy of the Lauterstein
Stores.
Another section of this paper
shows you some of the various
lines of standard brand merchan-
dise this new store will handle.
Gifts will be distributed to every-
one who comes in the store on the
opening day. Free coffee and cake
will also be served. The owners ex-
tend a cordial invitation to all of
the people of this section to come
and inspect the store and see the
merchandise they have to offer.
The construction of this new
store by Sengelmann Brothers for
I. Lauterstein and Sons, has great-
ly improved the looks of the front
of Main Street. It has increased
the purchasing power by adding
three new families in town. In all,
the store, at present, employes
seven persons. They are:
Mr. M. Uhry, Manager. ■»
Mr. Alvin Hollas.
Mr. Erwin Blaschke.
Miss Tonie Mertz.
Mrs. Cora Hoffmann.
Miss Emma Rosenauer.
Mr. Albert Uhry, Window Trim-
Delegation Goes
Before State High-
Way Commission
Monday a delegation of fifteen
men from here appeared before
the Highway Commission at Aus-
tin to attempt to ascertain where
the Old Spanish Trail would pass
through our town.
Reports from those wlio attend-
ed the meeting are that if the
city would pass an ordinance re-
quiring all cars to park parallel
to the curb and provided that the
streets could be widened, that the
commission would give serious
thought to having the road pass
through the town, the same as it
is at the present time. The com-
missioners stated they did did not
wish to hurt any town now located
along the road, but if conditions
were such that new routes would
have to be made they would have
to abide by the recommendations'
of the engineers.
Should the highway engineers]
find that our streets could be made
wide enough to meet State High-
way requirements, no doubt the
city would pass the required park-
ing law, the same as it exists in
other towns where similiar circum-
stances have occured.
If, however, the engineers find
that this is impossible, then the
road will go along the street lo-
cated two blocks north of Main
Street.
FIRE BOYS ELECT
OFFICERS FOR
ANOTHER YEAR
Fayette County
Fair To Be Held
Next Week
The Schulenburg Fire Depart-
ment met in regular session last
Thursday night. The meeting was
called to order by the president,
Otto Brauner. After hearing the
minutes of the last regular meet-
ing read, a report of the last drill
was given by the officers. Follow-
ing this, Chief I. W. Speckels gave
a short talk, stating that, inciden-
tally, this meeting was the annual! ments of farm work
The Annual Fayette County Fair
opens in La Grange on Wednesday
of next week and lasts through
Saturday.
We understand that the ex-
hibits are better than those of last
year. Most of the Home Demon-
stration Clubs of the County have
demonstration booths and the 4-H
Club Boys and Girls also have
demonstrations. The Schulenburg
Agriculture Boys have a nice exhi-
bit which includes various depart-
day, September 29th. A big day
in a big way is what those good
people are planning. Plenty to eat,
a -museum and other attractions,
a fine play at St. Michael's Hall
y, to better conditions in the ?:30 M. All our people who
possibly can are urged to arrange
to be with the crowd at Weimar
on September 29th.
States as a whole. Though
our Cotton crop was short as com-
m
pared to recent years we are still
far better off than farmers in
many sections of the States. We
made a better crop last year and
were able to maintain our flocks
of :hickens which have made most
of the farmers a fair living. Be-
sides that many farmers have con
tinned selling milk, which in many
cases has been the means of put-
ting a little extra money in their
pockets. The poultry market in
general is strong with the excep-
tion of turkeys and this market is
growing stronger as the supply is
being drawn from storage. Many
people now holding positions in the
eas tern states are able to eat tur-
key meat for the first time in
years as the jobs they have now
are the first ones they have had
since 1930. Cold storage figures
on the butter market show a large
amount in storage, but as condi-
tion improve, the demand for but-
ter is increasing.
Improvements
Joe Krischke of the High Hill
section is having a new barn built
on his place.
Frank Muehr, Sr., is having his
bam repaired.
John Rektorik of the Moravia
section is having the buildings on
his farm reconditioned.
Joe Srubar of the Moravia sec-
tion is building a new barn.
Mrs. J. S. Zvesper is having
some minor repairs done on her
rent house.
Dr. O. J. Phillips is having ce-
ment sidewalks placed around his
home and is also doing some other
improving.
Mr. Emanuel Lauterstein stated
that during the past ten years
they have opened three new stores
in three different towns, but that
none will compare with the beauty
and service that is to be maintain-
ed by the Schulenburg store.
Both Emanuel and George Lau-
terstein are known to most of the
people of this territory and it is
therefore not necessary to tell
you that they are going to main-
tain quality, service, and cour-
tesy, as has always been their cus-
tom.
Dubina Feast Success
Grandma Koenig of Route 3 paid
us a very pleasant visit last Sat-
urday and had her subscription
figures set up another year.
Grandma Koenig had with her, lit-
Since the death of Huey Long"tle Bernice Koenig a grand daugh-
great confusion seems to have
takim place in the state of Louis-
ianu as to who would replace the
Senator in his "share the wealth"
projjrram. From those who are well
acquainted with the policies and
membership of the Long dictator-
ship comes word that none will
ever, successfully, carry on the
work that was started by the man
who held full sway over the com-
mon people of the state of Louis-
iana.
Governer Allen, of that state,
saysi that no appointment will be
made to replace the Senator but
that along with the special elec-
tion, already scheduled, the vote of
the people will determine who will
replace Senator Long for the one
year of the unexpired term
ter, and a very pretty and bright
child for her age. She stated that
at home she had another little
granddaugter, born on last July
21st. Mrs. Koenig, despite her de-
clining years, is still quite active
and gets around better than lots
of folks half her age.
Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Hahn, Mrs.
Byrd Hoegemeyer of El Campo,
Mr. and Mrs. A. Schlafli and chil-
dren and Miss Jane Blumberg of
Seguin and Mesdames E. Oligiate
and S. Heitxen of Schnectedy, New
York, were Sunday guests in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Clark
caoa
The feast at Dubina on last
Sunday proved to be a big suc-
cess. Hundreds of people were in
attendance during the day. A won-
derful meal was served at noon, en
tertainments and speaking were
enjoyed during the afternoon, and
a general big time was had, the
day ending with a big dance at
night.
High Hill Feast
Sunday, Sept. 22.
The big feast at High Hill, which
was postponed from Sunday, Sept.,
7th., on account of rain, will be
celebrated on next Sunday, Sept.,
22nd. A big day and a grand
time is in store for all who at-
tend, and we urge everyone in
this section to make arrangements
to be with those good High Hill
folks next Sunday.
A splendid meal will be served
at noon, entertainments and
speeches in the afternoon, and
then at night a big dance, and all
of the proceeds of the day and
night will go to the church. Don't
miss the High Hill celebration next
Sunday.

meeting of this department, which
was founded on September 10th.,
1903. A rising tribute was paid
these founders, many of whom
have passed on, and some of whom
are still among us. Chief Speckels
stated that he was very proud of
the founders of this department,
who worked to make it possible for
the department to enjoy the high
standing which it now boasts. Mr.
Speckels stated that over the
period of the last twelve months,
four alarms had been turned in,
and that from Sept. 1, 1934, up un-
til September 1, 1935, Schulenburg
tax payers had paid into the In-
surance Commission at Austin, a
total of $13,000, not including Mu-
tual Insurance paid in by policy
holders Out of this amount Schu-
lenburg's total loss as paid to
property holders amounted to only
$19.00. Mr. Riggins of the Insur-
ance Department at Austin, was
a recent visitor in our city, re-rat-
ing all commercial houses and
possibly reduced the insurance cost
for many of our business men.
While here, Mr. Riggins compli-
mented the Schulenburg Depart-
ment very highly, stating that our
department ranked among the very
best in the state.
We are very proud of our de-
partment, proud of our chief, Mr.
Speckels, who devotes much of his
time and money to the improve-
ment of the department. He has
worked faithfully and hard and
commands the co-operation of the
boys, which in a great manner ac-
counts for the enviable standing
of this organnzation.
After the regular routine of busi-
ness, the election of officers for
the following year took place. The
new oficers elected are as follows:
President—Frank Brossmann.
Vice-President—Martin Krueger.

by acclamation.

The educational value of the va-
rious County Fairs, in most in-
stances, well worth the price of
admission, as you see the work
that is being carried on in vairous
parts of the counties. If there is
an exhibit that you are interested
in, you can get the desired infor-
mation you are seeking by noting
where it came from and then trac-
ing it down.
Pecan Crop
Looks Good
The pecan crop of this section
looks as though it is the best that
we have had in several years. Rain
has been plentiful and the hot days
seem to be just what was needed by
the trees as they are laden with
nuts. The early bearing trees
should produce ripe nuts within the
next two weeks.
We understnd that the pecan
crop in the Southeastern states is
not so good this year and if that is
true we should get a good price
for our pecans.
TEST WfeLL ABANDONED
SHIRLEY TEMPI
IN "CDRLEY
AT COZTTHEATRE
The local Cozy Theatre present^
today one of the outstanding lilm
attractions of the year, starring1
"America's Sweetheart" and Out'- * "
standing child actress, Sbiriey
Temple, in "Curley Top". Never
has this inimitable young player
been cast in a role so adaptable
to her winsome personality and.
charm as in "Culy Top,, which also
' features Shirley in a remarkable
song and tap routine along with
John Boles and Rochelle Hudson,
who charmingly provides the love,
sequence of the story.
The film revolves around a P*?S- ■ -
similiar to that of/'Daddy ijijflg'.v
Legs", revealing John Boles as a *"
remarkable dramatic actor as well
as a baritone of rare talent. Ro-
chelle Hudson, who charmingly re-
presents Shirley's Orphan sister,
sings one of the hit tunes of the
show, "The Simple Things". Inci-
dentally, the musical numbers, in-
cluding several catchy tunes, were
written by Ray Henderson and the
film directed by Irving Cummings.
Schedules include a special "Kid-
dies Matinee" at 4 P. M. Friday
and all children attending this ma-
tinee will receive a beautiful photo-
graph of Shirley Temple. The reg-
ular night perfomance will be at
8 P. M.
The test well located about 12
miles southeast of Hallettsville, in
Lavaca County, has been abandon-
ed as a dry hole at approximately
5,000 feet.
The derrick was torn down apd
will be moved to a new location in
Washington County, between the
towns of Industry and Frelsburg.
Firemens Election Of
Officers 20 Years Ago
The story published below is
from the files of the Sticker 20
years ago. Among them we find
some of the names of the people
who are still active in the depart-

memories of days gone by to many
of our local people.
