Fake Solicitors
Like Schulenburg
We regret very much to ad-
mit in print in this paper that
Schulenburg has ft group of
business men who fall for
schemes by total strangers who
sell menuea to cafes, blotter ad-
vertisements, directories of va
rious kinds, and so on and on. It
is not often that a regular news-
paper advertiser gets caught, its
usually the ones who do net ad-
vertise in a paper. Most of our
people have no idea how many
people each, year buy advertis-
ing Of this kind which is never
printed and they don't get a
thing in the world for their mon-
ey but experience and the very
next fellow who comes along gets
them over and over again. Yet
at the end of the year these men
figare up that they have spent so
much for advertising when in
reality they have not spent a
dime except to get their name
on a sucker list among profes-
sionals who work these small
towns.
The LaGrange C. of 0. has is-
sued a warning to the business
people there to beware of
buying space from anyone un
less he has a letter from this
body signed by the manager of
the C. of 0. and the manager
does not have the authority to is-
sue such a letter without first
talking it over with the Directors
who first investigate.
If our people insist on bnying
this kind of material if they will
insist on it being 0. K'd. by the
Stioker Office and make their
checks payable to the Sticker
Office we will protect them to
the extent of seeing that what
ever is proposed will be printed
or their money returned. This
way your name will not be on
the professional sucker list, or
one of the ones marked,be sure
to call on as he fell before.
Advertising is a Newspaper's
business and we know more
about it than anyone in this town,
we offer our services free to pro-
tect our people, if you care for
protection. Our advice is what
money you spend for advertising
spend it in the newspaper where
the people will read your mes-
sage.lt is agreed by every autho-
rity in the country that nothing
else sells merchandise like news-
paper advertising. There are
many other forms but all are
more expensive while at the
same time less effective.
We are not trying to*hurt any-
one's feelings by speaking of
sucker lists, but it is a known
fact that such things exist and
are passed along and when you
buy space from these people who
take your money and leave you
nothing in return,they have your
name on their list. They won't
return, but some of their gang
in time will be baeK to get the
same list another time.
Five Arrested For Seining
Game Warden Henry Russek,
Sheriff Loessin and Deputy
Sheriff Mourney arrested lve
negroes tor seining in Cummins
Creek near Fayetteville. Four of
them paid their fines which
amounted to $44.00 each and one
is serving out his fine in the
County Jail.
These officers also 'destroyed
one 60 foot seine of three quar-
ter inch mesh and one 50
foot seine of an inch and a quar-
ter mesh.
High Lite Explodes,
Sets Car On Fire
James J. Hollub, well known
to all our readers, .purchased a
hrlf gallon of high life which he
placed in the rear end of bis car
and started for his home near
Moravia. Enroute home the high
life exploded setting his car on
fire. He stopped and with the
aid of people living nearby they
managed to extinguish the blaze,
but not until about $200.00 dam-
age had been done.
James was fortunate to get ©ff
with this loss, he could easily
have lost his life had the gas tank
caught fire and exploded. We are
happy that he was not injured.
Building Continues
Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Herzik
have let a contract to Contractor
Frank Bohlmann to erect a very
pretty six-room modern bunga-
low for them upon the lot on
which they have been living. The
house in which they have been
living was sold to H. P. Schaefer,
who moved it to one of his lots
across from his Pecan park, for
a rent house. Work on the erec-
tion of this pretty new home is
to start at once.
Pete Staruska is building three
or more rooms on to a house
which he started on his own
farm last year. As soon as this
house is completed and this
year's crop gathered Pete will
move on his own farm, which is
just west of the farm upon which
he now resides.
Dr. J. F. Lessing is having a
nice five room farm home built
on his chicken ranch east of
town. He has had it terraced
and part of it fenced with chick*
en wire. Contractor Chris Bur-
ger is in charge of building ope-
rations.
Mrs. H. A. Sengelmann is
having her pretty home here in
the City re-painted. This is one
of the prettiest homes in our
City.

Another On Cement
Sidewalk Honor Roll
Our Commissioner, Otto Brau-
ner and wife are having a fiue
cement sidewalk laid around
their beautiful homestead here.
Not only this but they are hav-
ing the entire interior of their
home re-decorated and changed
about. Contractor Frank Bohl-
mann is in charge of this werk.
Schulenburg has made more
progress in building cement
sidewalks this year than it has
done in any five years previous.
Who will be the next on thie ce-
ment sidewalk honor roll? Just
drive around town and see the
homes that have them and how
nioe they look and then look at
yours and see how much it would
improve the appearance of your
home and at such small cost,and
not only improve your home
stead, but matae a walk upon
which your fellow man can trav-
el in wet and muddy weathen
without harm to his health.
A card fromChas. Vogt says
he is writing the card 250 feet
under ground in the famous
Carlsbad Cavern, that they are
having a splendid vacation.
Bill Johnson and sister, Miss
Edna, and Miss Otillia Blaschke
motored to San Antonio Sunday
where they went to bring Miss
Lima Johnson, who has been a
patient in the hospital there, and
her mother, Mrs. G. M. John-
son, home.We are glad that Miss
Lima was able to come home and
sincerely hopes that she regains
her strength rapidly.
Otto Bohlmann and family
are in Schulenburg and will
make their future home in our
City. We are glad to know that
he and his splendid family are
to lie residents of eur City.

No. 36
Negro Faith
Healer Arrested
Bill Loessin related to a re-
porter how he had a report of a
negro faith healer up around Ne=
chanitz who was treating white
folks, making charges for his
services ranging up as high as
$150.00. He stated that some
white people up there took this
healer into their home, gave him
the best bed fn their bouse and
ate together. When Bill drove up
the negro ran into the house but
Bill went right in after him and
brought him out. The negro had
two fine pistols.
Upon investigation Bill found
that the negro was treating all
his patients with the same kind
of medicine. It cured tuberculo
sis, insanity, and in fact every-
thing. The medicine he used was
vinatone, which he gave his pa-
tients in capsules, putting in
perhaps one or two other kinds
of stuff.
The negro is now a boarder at
the County Jail and in all proba-
bility next report will have him
a boarder at the State Peniten-
tiary.
What we can't understand is
how people fall for this kind ef
bunk in this day and age. Our
advice is if you are sick see a
doctor, and let strangers alone,
who are just out] for all the mo-
ney they can get,and let the me-
dicines alone that the Medicine
Show folks sell, 99 per cent of it
is just a pargative with some
colored fluids in it and some
time perfume or other things to
give it an odor.
Miracles don't happen in this
day and time, no one can say
magic words and cure real sick-
ness. Where there is a mental
condition perhaps some aid can
be given where one has confi-
dence in a oertain party, but if
really sick get a doctor and a
real one.
A Fish Story
The following information
comes to us from Camp Stewart
at Kerrville. Robert Earl Wel-
ters and Jay Meyers had a
throw line in the river, when
they went to look at it they found
a 12-pound catfish on it, the hook
however had protuded through
the fish's gill, an eel came swim-
ming and saw the hook, which
was still baited, and swallowed
the hook, so the boys caught
these two fish on the same hook
at the same time.
We asked an old veteran fish-
erman about this, he stated in
all probability the eel was caught
«arstandthe big catfish came
along and attempted to swallow
the eel but this slick fellow
worked his way out of the cat
fish's gills.
Yes sir, this is supposed to be
a true story. We don't know,
however, whether Robert Earl
takes after his grandpa, R. A.
Wolters, or his dad, Oscar Wel-
ters, but we will say he is "some
fisherman".
Mrs. Rosa Russek
Passes Away
Mrs Rosa Russek, widow of
the late Ignaz Russek, passed
peacefully and quietly from this
vale of tears - to that Celestial
Abode where her beloved hus-
band awaited her, and where,ere
many years elapse, her beloved
ones will join her. Her death oc-
curing Tuesday afternoon.
We do not have all the details
to write a suitable obituary, this
will appear in our next issue, in
which an effort will be made to
pay a tribute to this noble
character, this mother whose
hearb of gold, whose every
thought and deed in life was for
her children. She was all that
God created in the way of good-
ness, combined in one harmon-
ous sweet soul as perfect as any
one is permitted to be. No hu-
man ever had a mother more
noble than she.
Her earthly remains will be
laid to rest here in the family
burial ground this (Thursday)
afternoon at four o'clock. Rev.
Wissemann of the Methodist
church will officiate. The Metho-
dist Choir will sing.
Words do not describe the es
teem in which she was held,
neither can words convey our
.heartfelt sympathy to the be-
reaved children. We sorrow and
mourn with you.
Schulenburg 3, LaGrange 15
Schulenburg lost a ragged
game of ball to La Grange here
Sunday, the score being 15 to 3.
It was a good game until the
seventh when the boys all blew
up and the rest of the game was
a comedy of errors. /
Horton pitched for Schulen-
burg and was in good form but
many errors lost him the game.
Next Snnday Waelder will be
here for a game with the boys.
Fire Destroys Barn
One of our best colored citizens
Arthur, better known as Papa,
Carroljlost his barn by fire Sun-
day just after the noon hour.
In addition to losing the barn
he lost all the feedstuff, harness,
etc., that he had in the barn.
Reports have it that he knock-
ed the hot ashes out of his pipe
which started the fire. We are
sorry to see him have this bad
luck as he is a mighty good dark-
ey. . He is an assistant on the
City staff, doing the laying of the
water lines, etc.
Cbild Swallows Stove Bolt
Breaks Arm
Gloria, the little six-year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. M.
Raeof this City, broke her arm
when she fell from a small wag-
on on which she was playing.
The broken member was set and
is now raDidly mending.
Mr. and Mrs. K. D. Sengel-
mann, Misses Wally and Iola
Baumgarten and his honor, Mr.
Kollie Sengelmann, motored to
Goliad Wednesday to see Henry
and Maurice Baumgarten play in
a double header.
Saturday night about 10 o'clock
Frank Schima of the Hallettsville
section brought his three year-
old son, Leslie, to a Doctor here,
stating that the child had swal-
lowed a stove bolt. An X-ray
i picture was taken and sure
enough there was a stove bolt
fully an inch long lodged in the
child's Esaphagus. The child
drank water and ate an ice cream
cone but the bolt stayed right
there. It was taken to San Anto-
nio that same night, given ether
and the bolt removed through
the mouth without an operation.
The child is back home and feel-
ing none the worse for his ex-
perience.
Negro Arrested
Sam Houston, a local negro,
went on a spree the other night,
firing a shot gun and giving vent
! to his feelings. He is now in the
LaGrange jail charged with
.being drunk and disturbing the
! peace. He was carried to the
'County Jail Saturday by Sheriff
Loessin.
Big Tire Sale
Now Going on
His Honor, Cheesie Von Helm-
camp, has a big page advertise-
ment in todays paper announcing
a big money saving tire sale. He
says at this sale a dollar will buy
more in rubber than ever before
in history. Further, the tires he
is offering is not some unknown,
off brand but the tires built by
the world's largest rubber fac-
tory and a tire on which more
people ride than any other kind.
That -is Goodyear tires, known
and sold all over the world. This
is the factory that is building the
great Zeppelin for the United
Stafes Government that is to be
twice as large as the Graf Zep-
pelin.
Helmcamp says he must sell a
lot of tires if he is to represent
Schulenburg at the great factory
meet in Akron, Ohio, this year.
Therefore, and further to help
the depression dollar reach fur-
ther than it has ever been known
to reach,he is putting on this big
sale.
We venture to state that peo-
ple from distances of more than
50 miles will come here for this
event to buy tires.

Bditor Is Thankful
We wish to thank our good
friend, Herman Umlang for some
of the finost Elberta peaches
that we have tasted in years.
This good farmer raises both
the cling and freestone El-
bertas. His wife puts up enough
to last until the nsxt season's
crop is in.
We also want to thank Henry
Huebner for a fine watermelon
brought to our sanctum, it was
very delicious and just as good
as any man would care to eat.
He has raised some that weigh-
ed up to 40 pounds.
We also want to thank Farmer
Gus Sengelmrnn for several
messes of choice roasting ears
and a big bucket of delicious to-
matoes- Yes sir, Gus is some
good farmer and he knew we
were figuring on swiping some
of his crop so as to avoid having
it on our conscience he beat us
to it. Sure were fine, Uncle Gus.
Frank Floranac brought us a
bucket of delicious Elberta
peaches and an apple from his
apple tree, just as pretty an ap-
ple as anyone ever saw.
Victor Skarke was a business
visitor ia San Antonio Monday,
he reported running over a big
calf on the highway, this calf
lodged under his car and he was
on the highway several hours
during the night trying to flag
some one to hook on to his oar
and pull him off the calf.
Little Boy Buried
At Andrews Chapel
The earthly remains of little
Clemens Warren Hughes, who
died in Houston of Diptheria,
were shipped here Saturday and
conveyed to the Andrews Chapel
Cemetery, the family burial
ground, where they were laid to
final rest.
This young boy died Friday,
July 10th. Medical aid of the
very best was had and every ef-
fort made to save this boy but
in vain. The good Lord had ruled
otherwise.
The funeral was a very sad
one, everyone present dropped
a tear along with those of the re-
latives in genuine grief and sor-
row over the passing of this
splendid young boy. The choir
rendered some very touching
and beautiful songs. The floral
offerings were very pretty. Rev.
Hightower, Methodist pastor of
Weimar; officiated.
Deceased is survived by his
grief stricken pa'rents, one
younger brother, Larry, by his
grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.
Warren and Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
Hughes, and by a great grand-
mother, Mrs. Anna Fritsch.
The Sticker joins the family's
many friends in extending it's
most profound sympathy.
