their share. The Lyons Avenue
road to the school has been com-
pletely wrecked and is now im-
passable due to the clay, a few
cars of gravel mixed with the
clay would help,we believe.This,
however, must be worked out by
those who know and we must
quit guessing, this guessing
costs the City Tax Payers a lot
of money without giving us any
thing. If our neighboring towns
of Hallettsville and La Grange
can build many blocks of solid
eohcrete streets,and Hallettsville
announced last week a program
for building still more blocks of
concrete streets, surely our City
Dads are as capable as theirs and
can do something of a perma
nent nature' in street improve
ment, without always passing
the buck back and forth at the
Council Meetings. We can't tell
how to do it, that's why we have
City Dads, to govern our City
and work out programs and car-
ry them out. We have an excel-
lent Mayor and good business
men on our Board of Aldermen,
let's get serious just for one
meeting and plan to do some per
manent street improving. It's
fine for the City to own 'machin-
ery and drag the streets, but
with each rain we are right baek
in the same rut and the money
has gone bye-bye,Schulenburg's
building program to be complet-
ed in 1932 is the biggest the town
has ever had, will the City be an
aM, an asset to this program, or
a draw-back? Of course it is
easily said they will help, but to
help they'must spend money
where it will show through the
years and be a permanent im-
provement, the kind that gives
a town a chance to grow when it
shows it wants to grow. Each
new house means more funds in
the City's treasury. Each new
business building adds to it ma-
terially. Why not, therefore, build
some streets that will encour-
age more building, more busi-
ness houses, more residences,
moretconcrete sidewalks, etc.Get
this straight, the Editor is not
criticising anyone, but means
this item to be of a constructive
nature for the good of every tax
pyaer in our town, and _we will
baek our Council to the limit on
any [street improvement of a
permanent nature that they un-
dertake. We don't care what
streets they decide to fix first,
but we would suggest a plan that
would provide so many blocks of
permanent paving each year.
Never again will Schulenburg be
able to get streets built as cheap-
ly as now, if we over look this
golden opportunity and later
make our tax payers pay double
for the same results, it will be a
lack of good judgment. We be-
iieve that Wm. Leek, Frank
Bohlmann, or anyone of a num-
ber of people could build con-
crete roads and build them
cheaper than out side men But
talking about it won't do it, we
need just one wheel horse on tne
Council to get busy and we know
the rest won't baGk out. It's
true the streets will dry out
again but it's equally as true
that it will rain again so that's
no argument for a smart man to
offer. We believe in our City
Dads, we know they favor the
proposition, we know Mayor
Nordhausen has long favored
better streets, we have heard
him express himself en this sub-
ject many times. Mr. Mayor,
let's get going on this program,
even if we only build one or two
blocks, when the folks find out
how good these blocks are we
will be able to get going, and as
stated if the eity has to pay all
the costs it is still cheap. We do
not have any time for the chronic
belly acher who is ©rying be-
cause of the efforts made by put-
ting the red cjpy on oar streets,
the City Dads tried and were
honest in trying to get some
good City streets at a cheap
price to please a lot of cheap
people, we got it, we've found
! out it won't do, now let's get
our feet on the ground, use the
brains the good Lord gave us,
, and pay the prioe that worth
while things cost, but which we
can still buy, due to the de-
pression, at half price,
Swift and Company, in their
financial statement, show a de-
preciation in surplus from last
year and state that it was due to
prices showing a continuous de-
cline.A more severe decline was
prevented by cutting expenses,
selling tank and refrigerator
cars. But what this item is
written for is the last line in
their statement, which reads:
"We do not anticipate further
inventory losses in our products
this coming year. We look for a
good year in 1932 " There is a
i*ay of sunshine through the dark
clouds of economic depression.
The biggest packing house in the
world stating, not to the general
public,but to the people who own
stock in their concern, that they
look for 1932 to be a good year
for business and profits, which
will mean that cattle, hogs,sheep
and goats should have a better
price this coming year. When
cattle are cheap the packers
must keep cutting the price of
their meat in storage and thus
they lose money. This giant
meat industry pays a dividend
of $2.00 per year on each share
of stock but this year, 1931,they
failed to earn enough money to
pay this dividend. When a bad
year comes every body suffers,
not just one class.

Beat This Record
Herman Oscar Ammann was
confronted with the problem of
choosing his project for Voca-
tional Agrisulture early last
October, and to this lad it was
quite a problem because he was
crowded for space, for any large
animals or field creps. So he
came to the conclusion that he
could remedel a small poultry
house, at a very little cost, into
a nice brooder house, and raise
some fryers for the Christmas
market. The third year class
did the job of remodeling the
house and Herman did the rest.
He rented a broeder and bought
his feed, planted plenty green
feed, such as mustard, lettuce
and other feeds. On Oetober 24th
he bought 100 White Leghorn
baby chicks from Mr. Steinmann
and began feeding and caring
fer theia. Herman has succeed-
ed in "raising 93 of these to fry-
ers, that weigh from 2 lbs. ud,
which is a remarkable record
with all the wet weather and
other things to contend with.
These ehicks came from eggs
from Mr. Tom McBride's farm
and he has followed a plan of
selection and obtaining good
male birds until he has a nice
flock of high producing birds.
Herman is planning to sell
these fryers on the Houston
market soon, and due t© the way
they have been feed and eared
for, with plenty mineral to insure
good bones and growth, with no
disease in the flock, and fast
growth, they would be excellent
for spring layers, If any one is
interested in these as layers,
they may be obtained at 50c per
bird, which.is what they will
bring as fryers on the market,
by seeing Herman or Mr. Hen-
derson at the school building.

Mr. Seifert of Weimar, who
has just completed the big two
story brick home there, was a
visitor in our City Monday. We
believe this gentleman has the
only real home in these parts,be-
cause he built of hollow tile and
brick out side, 'which will give
him an ideal temperature in sum-
mer and winter and make his
home fire proof. This house has j
three tile bath rooms, maple
doors and many other fine fea
tures. This home cost him less
than half of what it would h&ve
eots a few years ago.
