How About Finishing |
' LaGrange Road?
Now that the dirt work, gra
ding a:ad surfacing has been
completed between Schulenburg
and Kana's place, and in view of
the facti that no arrangements
have thas far been made for
grayeling ortarviating this road,
lets start now to push this good
muse along for early action This
road ha» been amply soaked all
winter by hard rains. It should
be in condition for graveling.
We are going to call on Sena-
tor Rusisek and cur County
Judge Theo. Leuders, two able
who will and can put it
if we" encourage them
>ugh. They are both busy
men, both running for re-elec-
tion. nothing, in our opinion,
would put them in good grace
more than arranging to t?et this
road completed. Milk trucks are
having a heck of a time getting
through. Mail carriers are corn-
L' plaining, folks attending Jury
duty and witnesses in cases
are raising cain about the con-
dition of this road. The Sticker
asks won't you two gentlemen
arrange an appointment with
the Highway ^ Commission at
its next ^meeting and plead
this cause and assure your con
stituents that you are looking
after their interests in a place
that is sorely in need of atten-
tion? want to sing your
jpraises again and add another
good deed to the many things
already achieved during your
term of office. This cannot stand
lelay, bat must receive prompt
'attention as you know it takes a
long time to get started and
then a long time to complete the
work and lets not make our
friends go through another win-
ter over this mud way. If weart
to avoid this we must get prompt
action. The Sticker pleads with
^you in behalf of its readers anc
J the public in general. We kno^
' you caij do it. Won't you?
New Ammannsville
School Building
Father Raska has informed us
that the contract for the nev
Paaochial school building for
immannsville was let to the low-
est bidder, which was the Tem-
ple Lumber Co., of LaGrange,
Ttbe contractor being Gus Jaor-
. swerski.
Lumber out of the old school
building willjbe used and the
contract price complete was
$4650.
These : good Ammannsville
folks are constantly improving
and building up. This is one of.
our choicest trading territories,
they are all fine people. We con-
gratulate them upon building a
line new school buildiug.
Trades Day Wednesday
Don't forget Wednesday is
Trades Day. Look over the spe-
cials being offered and you will
surely see how you can save mo-
ney.
Ohnheiser's Pressing Shop
says they mean to have every
man, woman and child looking
their best Sunday. He is adver-
tising two suits cleaned and
pressed for the price of one, or
in other words bring two suits,
pairs of pants, dresses, etc., and
vou pay for one, he fixes the
other f ree.Thats good for Trades
Day only.
Other Specials are equally at-
tractive, look them over, and
when the day is over you will
have bought everything
need and have money left.
Engle Section
Damaged By Rain
According to our good friend
Rudolph Stavinoha, Engle had
much more rain than we-had.
In the city proper five and a half
inches fell Monday morning.
South of Engle it rained 8 inches
causing Mulberry creek to be
fully three 'quarters of a mile
wide and a number of cattle were
drowned by the'high water. In
Engle the railroad dump both
east and west of town was badly
.... . F'
washed, some 30 yards of the
dump washed away. Trains
stfll forced to slow down 16
miles an hour over that section.
Rudolph stated that this was
the heaviest rain that he had
you ever known to fall in such a short
period of time.

How About A
Swimming Fool
Justice Precinct
1930, 777. April

Now that summer is again
setting in and every kid in town
b«ggintr to go swimming, which
means an 18 mile drive to Hal-
lettsville, what are we going to
do about a pool tor Schulenburg.
We have lived in hopes that
some of our wealthy men would
erect a monument to their mem-
ory by putting in one and nam-
ing it for themselves. This would*
be so much greater than a cold
slab oi granite over a grave,
sflundnedi of towns in America
have jusc such swimming pools.
The Editor's former horn?, Tem-
ple, boasts of a fine tile swim-
ming pool erected by a Mrs.
Nunuely in honor of her deceas'
ed hui-bmd. That name is more
Otloved by every man, woman
aiid kid in Tempip than any
other citizen there.Other wealthy
people who have lived there have
died and the only way anyone
knows they ever lived there is
to go to the Cemetery and, see
theit name on a tombstone.
No man can carry money to
the grave but he can do a lot of
good for the .more unfortunate
ones b> erecting something of
this nature and a swimming porl
builds up the health of the com-
munity as nothing else does.
If someone will volunteer to
this his name will be sung for
many, many years after he is
no more.
If we can't do this, what can
be done about it? Schulenburg
needs one very badly.

Fritz
Munke carried his wife
to fean Antonio where she under-
went an operation for appendi
citis Friday. Fritz stated she
was resting well following the
operation.
Opening Restaurant
Ed. rScheler has rented the
building just north of E. H. Pra-
tka's Store where he is opening
a restaurant, cold drink and
cigar stand.
Sengelmann Bros,, have had
the place newly painted and ren-
ovated for him.
Ed. stated he did not know
just what day he would be ready
for business, as he was waiting
on some of his fixtures.
Sunday afternoon a fair size
crowd gathered at the School
Auditorium to do reverence to
'"Mothers".
Splendid singing, piano solos,
Saxaphone solo, readings and a
brief sermon by Rev. Kattner
was indeed enjoyed very much.
It is only regretted more folks
did not take the day serious
enough to attend an occasion of
this kind.
T^e P. T. A. sponsors thi«: af-
fair anunally They had the
stage beauuxully decorated for
the occasion. Tney furnished a
supply of flowers so u—t each
man, woman and child could
wear the appropriate flower ftn
the day.
Rev. Kattner eulogized moth-
ers, stating that when God made
men he saw that man needed a
guiding hand to make him still
great jr, so he created woman to
be mother of man. He stated a
Mother was more like Christ
than man, in that she has to
make more sacrifices and bear
more crosses, but he admonish-
ed Mothers of this day and time
when the world is in such a hus-
tle bustle state of affairs and
women take part In all events,
that they should not lose track
of the fact that their main place
is in the home. That mothers
form characters for their chil-
dren in the home, nor on the
streets. He remarked that he
did not wish to be misunder-
stood, that he did not say v that
women should not take part in
essentia] things away from home
but that which the |world honors
and reverences Mothers for is
her place in the home, her ten-
der care, her sympathetic at-
titude, her constant sacrifices of
her own desires for her family's
pleasure. That is whrt the mo-
dern woman must guard against,
not to lose these traits, not to
get so busy with outside affairs
that she neglects home.
The Editor thinks that this ad-
monition was timely and won-
derfully well handled, because all
about us we can see neglected
homes, women go day and night
without a thought of why she
was created, that she owes a du-
ty to home, to civilization, that is
far more necessary than the
usual vocations or pleasures
sought. Conscience alone tells
us whether we are doing right
or wrong, but that noble place
held by Motherhood should not
be sacrificed in following after
Strang gods or meaningless fan-
cies.

County Agents
Letter On Milk
Farmer gives cow eighteen
cents ;'for privilege of getting to
milk her 60 times at a loss.
A farmer, we shall call John
Doe, fed his fifteen cows togeth-
er in an open lot in a long trough.
Each cow got as mucn feed as
she was able to fight for, regard-
less sf whether she was a one
gallon cow or a four gallon cow.
The total feed bill for the fif-
teen cows was $85.00, or an ave-
rage of $5.66 each. One of the
fifteen cojfs produced one gal-
lon of milk per day, or only two
hundred fifty-eight pounds for
month. Her butterfat tsst was
4.225. She produced 10.9 pounds
of fat wortn only $5.48. Her feed
bill was $5.66. She not only lost
luer owner eighteen cents during
the Month, but the farmer bad
to lose his labor of milking har
sixty times too.
It is an entirely different story
in the Guy Robson Herd. For
Mr.Rebson feeds each cow sepa-
rately, weighs each cows milk,
and feeds one pound of grain foi
each three pounds of milk pro-
duced. He knows exactly each
day how many cents each cow
nets him, for he feeds each cow
so many pounds of feed worth
so much money, the eow pro-
duces a certain number of
pounds of milk that tests a
known amount of bucterfat that
is worth a kaown amount of mo-
ney. In feeding by rule Mr.
Robson knows exactly how many
pennies each cow nets him for
his labor of milking her. He
does not have to wait thirty days
to find out how much money he
is making or losing. He produc-
ed a pound £of butterfat for
twenty five cents and sold it to
the Carnation Company for fifty
cents.
Good cows bought at a high
price, and fed high priced, good
feed will make a little money,
even though the feed was bought
in sacks. Scrub dairy cows,
bought at a high price, and fed
high priced feeds will always
lose their owners money, but
good, high-priced, home raised
dairy cows,fed high-priced home
grown feeds that are balanced
with a little sack feed, will make
their owners a nice steady in-
come above their feed bills.
It always pays to milk good
cows.
A good home mixed ration for
the farmer with corn in his barn
and sorghum hay, can consiat of
the following: 100 lbs. corn, 100
lbs. cottonseed meal, 100 lbs.
bran and 300 lbs. ground oats.
A little later when the pas-
tures burn up the cottonseed
meal can be increased to 150 lbs<
in the mixture.
