THE SCHULENBURG STICKER
JULY 24, 1981
Central Power
Selling Securities
We understand that the Cen-
tred Power and Light Co., here
have soJd a lot.of their securities
that bear better than 6 per Gent
iuterest. Ptople from all walks
of life are buying this .preferred
stoctr.
The average man says why do
they pay 6 per cent to get mon-
ey to buy more plants and ex-
tend their lines? Tho answer is
that the law does not permit
them to use the money for that
purpose. Any expansion done
into new territory must be done
by money brought in from out-
side sjurccs.Therefore they have
to sell this first preferred stojk 10
keep a constant stream of new
mongey coming ^in, in border to
grow and iserve other communi-
ties. A market is maintained [to
sell thesa securities for the hold-
er at any time. If you buy them
this year and wish to sell iu six
months or next yeir you can do
so without suffering any loss,
and in addition you collect your
interest every six months.
Another Car Garlic Moving
Keuper Bros.,are shipping out
a solid ear of garlic today,Thurs-
day. This car is billed to New
York. These folks report thac
garlic is still coming in.
This section has shipped more
garlic this year than it has ever
dote in thi pa&t. Reports are
that the season was as good as it
was due to the fact that the Cali-
fornia garlic turned out bad.This
being the case it seems we
should have had a better price.
However, we know that practi
cally no profit was made here.as
several of the merchants who
bought garlic this year lost mon-
ey and the others did not make
anything but lost also, if tbpy
figure the time it took their men
to handle the crop.
Schulenburg Losss 6 To 2

SNOLITE
The Most Talked of
Freight Rate Agitation
1
PAINT
in America Today
Covers More
Cost Less
Pittsburgh Product
It is the plea of the Riilroads
that freight rates must be in-
creased 15 per cent in order tn
save the railroads.
Every thinking man knows who
will pay the freight, that is the
ultimate consumer. In the cat-e
of feedstuff the farmers will have
to pay, in shipping our cotton
the producer will have 15 per
cent less for his products to
make up this increase in freight
rates. The Sticker thinks Mr.
and Mrs. John Henry Public
have stood the limit a*.d its time
to tackle the proposition at the
right place. That,in our opinion,
would be a reduction in the sala-
ries of the high paid officials on
down the line. Living expenses
have dropped and dropped until
a dollar buys more than it has
in 30 to 40 years, yet the railroad
officials have not reduced sala-
ries one penny from the highest
prices during wartimes. Men
have been cut off until not suffi
cient men are available to handle
the business. We believe the
men working and those laid off
would have stood for a reduction
and kept their jobs and divided
up with the men laid off Sso that
they could hive at least made a
living. The Sticker thinks the
solution of the problems lies
there and noc in still higher
rates. The farmers of this coun-
try and the producers of our
ciops med friends right now
more than in the past. The
Sticker proposes to Stay by them
and help them everyway it can.
The Railroads have slept on their
rights in keeping rates so high
that all oil companies were fore*
ed to build pipe lines to haul all
of their oil instead of the Rail-
roads hauling it, or these suppos-
ed far seeing railroad officials
could have made contracts and
laid these pipe lines as they are
the biggest income any oil com-
pany has today. Tneir money
made from the transportation ot
oil, a business the railroads were
in a century-before the oil folks
dreamed of it. Now the trucks
and busses are taking a big block
oftheir traffic. Why not put on
their own line of trucks if they
mane money and if the railroads
cannot compete with them under
the present system. The Rail-
reads have bought control of the
bus lines, which are making
money for them.
Let it be understood the Stick-
er is, and always lias been a
friend of the Railroads, we in-
sist on Railroads hauling all of
the freight we have as that is
their line of business and bes
cause they are the heaviest tix--
payers in practically every coun-
ty in Texas. But we are 100 per
cent against any more increa&e
in freight rates unloading it on
the backs of the producers of
this country, who are our farm-
ers. If the other Newspapers,
who claim they are the farmer's
friend, will all get busy on this
business there won't be any in-
crease in freight rates. The time
to act is now.

Ben Prause's Place Robbed
Good Ole Ben Prause is hot in
search of $1005.00 worth ef musi-
cal instruments stolen from his
car. Ben had returned from
playing for a dance and had the
instruments in his car, which he
drove into his garage. The next
morning he went out to his car
and found that the musical in-
struments had been stolen. In-
cluded in the lob were two saxo-
phones, a tuba, a violin and an
accordion, these were left in the
car because fa heavy rain was
falling and he did not wish to
get them wet.
We understand a heavy re-
ward has been offered for theae
instruments. Schulenburg folks
might be on the look out for
strangers coming this way sell-
ing musical instruments, or our
readers in other towns mieht
spread tha news and arrange to
hold such parties for questioning
until the instruments can be
identified or the sheriff commu-
nicated with.

Yes, a thick blanket of rock
wool keeps the heat in the
oven and out of the kitchen.
It's the famous Estate Fresh-
Air Oven, built like a double
boiler, to provide absolutely
uniform heat that takes the ups and downs out of
baking. No puzzle to get four big vessels on the
roomy cooking top, all at one time, either. Turn
a handle to light the oven, without opening a door.
