THE SCHULENBURG

in Track Meet
1 r
iin Avenue of San Antonio
the Schulenburg Short
is had the closest race for
place in the history of the
1,1 San Antonio Fiesta Track
It. Main nosed out the Short
is by one-half of a point, the
i score being 29H to 29.
iptsain Blaschke of the Short
|ns created quite a sensation
In he won first place in the
'yard dashr and beat Main
me's ace, Red Fleming, who
lupposed to be one of the out-
jnding 440 men in the State.
Iain Avenue and the other
lools were again surprised
m Schulenburg won first
[ce in the M ile Relay and tied
I record in San Antonio which
held by Harlendale.
Jlenn Cooper led the field in
Javelin throw, getting a dis-
of 166 feet.
?he San Antonio papers called
lulenburg the ''dark horse"
is Meet. We can hardly un-
rr.tand that for the Short
:ns have made an enviable re-
in every meet they attend-
'this year, especially by the
jiy they won the District Meet
iBrenham.

Nice Rain Falls Here
I
A rain which was very badly
needed and which fell jast at the
right time to do the most good,
fell in this section Monday after-
Doon and night.
This rain will cause the grow-
ing.crops to take on new life, it
will also aid the dewberry crop
which is the largest this country
has had in many years. The ber-
ries, however, have been very
small but this rain will cause the
balance coming on to fill out. It
will be of material aid to the po-
tato crop and there is a lot of
acreage in this crop this year.
The tomato folks are anticipat-
ing a big crop with a good price
this year. Schulenburg does not
have much tomato aorpage, but
the Flatonia, Hallettsville and
Yoakum sections have large
acreages. v
More grrlic was planted this
year than ever before and we ex-
pect to ship a good many solid
car loads of garlic.

Oil Well Data
The Test well south of _town
struck a blue sand Monday night
which created considerable ex
oitement for a time but upon
testing this sand it was found to
be dry, so drilling was resumed.
Tnis was the only favorable sub-
stance encountered thus far.The
folks are moie hopeful however
since finding ^his sand. This* weil
is down to a depth of slightly be-
low 3500 feet.

Off For Clothing Contest
Wednesday night Miss Hoff-
mann, our Home Economist
teacher, and three of her stu-
dents: Marzeline Herzik, for first
year girls; Henrietta Cernosek,
traveling costume, and Lillie
Jochen for club work, left for
Houston to compete with several
hundred other schools.
Miss Holfifiann has been win-
ning awards each year with her
students since she has been con-
nected with our school and we
know she has no superior as a
teacher'in Texas. We feel sure
that if good workmanship is
carefully considered, as in the
past, we will again win awards.

Schulenburg Colored
School Wins" .
It must be the good Schulen-
burg water or something that
makes championship material
here. We thought we were doing
wonders with our High Schoo
students winning track and foot
ball honors over the state. But
now comes our Colored School to
help build Schulenburg's reputa-
tion along this line and even go
our High School one better by
winning declaiming honors
Three of our colored students
went to the State Meet, they
! gave ^account of themselves as
• follows: Edward Lee won first
place in shop work, Hermer
Davis, the declaimer, met a field
of 72 Senior Declaimers, down
to the finals where only six were
left and then in the finals he
placed fourth.
James Townsend won first
place in Jersey cow judging and
third place in high jump 5 ft., 5
inches.
The principal of the colored
school here is highly elated over
the success of his students. He
said: "Considering what it
means to compete against all the
State schools we feel happy over
what we did". We extend' our
congratulations to the principal
and his three students. Keep up
the good work.

happened that Dr. Guenther was
working on Henry Gundelach at
