TEXAS AND TEXANS

2,400,000 tone or about 80 to 90 per
cent of that of the world. Italy is the
only country that approximates Tex-
as in reserves, with Chili a poor third.
Sulphur production is among the
great industries of the State.

Texas Granite to New York
The $1,000,000 memorial to Theo-
dore Roooevelt to be erected in New
York will be constructed of Texas
granite, but the Texas Bar Associa-
tion will use Georgia products to
build a monument on the Texas Capi-
tol grounds to Texas judges. Some
day our own people may come to ap-
preciate as they should the real val-
ue of Texas products as compared
with those of other States and coun-
tries.

Helping Borne Industry
The mercham.s of Sabinal have
agreed to sell opfy Sabinal-made
bread and the Sabinal baker has
agreed to supply the bread of as
good quality and at as reasonable
prices as car be obtained elsewhere
by Sabinal merchants. Why not ap-
ply the same rule to the Sabinal
printer and to every .other product
that can be obtained in the town?
Home folks should at least be given
“an even break” with others. This
is not always done.

Goat Shearers Busy
Goat shearing has started-in Tex-
as and as soon as it is evident that
there will be no more winter thou-
sands of shearers will be busy. Texas
produces about 80 per cent of all the
mohair grown in this country, and
the industry keeps many laborers
busy during shearing seasons.

Reducing Cotton Coat •
A young farmer at Bud^ who kept
books, last year raised cotton on 7
acres of terraced land at a cost of
3.6 a pound ginned, exclusive of his
cwn labor. The expense included $7
an acre rent, use of team and trac-
tor, cost of hoeing, seed, picking,
ginning and depreciation on tools.
He plowed the-dand six inches deep
in November, bedded it in December
and beginning when the cotton was
two weeks old, plowed it shallow 7
times. Evidently the cost of cotton
growing depends somewhat on how
thoroughly it is done.
DIED SATURDAY MORNING
Miss Lillie Haluska, aged 16 years,
died at the LaGrange Hospital last
Saturday morning, death being due
to blood poisoiAng, caused from an
infection of a pimple on her lip. She
was taken to the LaGrange Hospital
on Friday night and every attention
possible rendered to save the young
lady, but to no avail; it was too late.
Her suffering ceased as she passed
lo her reward on Saturday morning
at 3:30 o’clock.
Miss Lillie was a high school stu-
dent in the Ellinger school, and be-
cause of her friendly disposition was
very popular with her school com-
panions and older friends.
Her remains were laid to rest Sun-
day afternoon in the presence of one
of the largest attendance of sorrow-
ing friends and relatives ever gath-
ered in that section, Interment was
made in the Ross Prairie Lutheran
cemetery with Rev. F. H. Horak of
Caldwell, officiating.
Her father, John Haluska, died
about two months ago; present sur-
vivors are her mother and many oth-
er relatives and friends.
The Journal expresses its sincere
sympathy to the bereaved.
H. W. SPECKELS ANNOUNCES
FOR RE-ELECTION
Our present mayor, H. W. Speck-
els, places the authority in our hands
this week, to present his name to the
voters of LaGrange, and asks them
to consider his application for the re-
election to the office of Mayor of the
City of LaGrange, Texas. Past ex-
perience in office, well known to
every one, and qualified makes ti
rather superfluous for us to give him
further boost. He has essayed in the
past to give the citizens of LaGrange
u good administration, and in the
years that he has served he has been
both faithful and sincere in his work.
He could point to many improve-
ments that have been made during
his administration, but in his modes-
ty merely asks us to place his name
before the local voters, and if his
service in the past and up to now is
not without merit, to remember him
at the city election, which is to be
held on Tuesday, April 7.

MOTHERS’ CLUB
ATTRACTIVE VIEWS
In the rotographure section of the
Houston Chronicle of last Sunday,
appeared a number of very attractive
scenes, sent to the art editor of the
Chronicle by Rev. Paul P. Kaspar,
priest in charge of the Plum and
Ilostyn Parishes. These scenes were
leally grottos erected at various
erected at various parts of the state.
With respect to them all, we show
the partiality expected, and commend
the attractive pictures of the grotto
at Hostyn and the highway scene on
the road to the new Colorado river
bridge. These should be kept to show
to visitors, as they are as attractive
as any to be found anywhere.

better—carbon paper and Stafford’s
glue. Get them at the Journal Sta-
tionery Department.
With an attendance of forty mem-
bers present, the Mothers’ Club held
its meeting in the High School audi-
torium Monday afternoon.
A short program was rendered
which was opened by singing the
Star Spangled Banner which has fin-
ally been adopted by Congress as our
National anthem, followed by a pray-
ci led by Rev. Boatman.
Song by Mrs. Fannie Haidusek, ac-
companied by Mrs. E. E. Miller.
Instrumental duett by Mesdarmes
W. W. Few and Theo. H. Krill*
Rev. Boatman gave an interesting
talk on .“the importance of organized
play.”
Following the program minutes of
the last session were read and ap-
proved.
Mr,?. Emma Moore, third vice-presi-
dent, reported that the sum of $200
at least will be realized out of the
dinner and economy sale. The treas-
urer reported a balance of $123.22.
The improvement committee pre-
sented a bill for $76.00 for awnings,
which were purchased for the second
grade room. The treasurer was au-
thorized ,to pay the eaid amount.
The Club agreed to purchase a
Singer sewing machine for the home
economics department, Which is ne-
cessarily needed.
A standing vote of thanks was of-
fered the finance committee, and ex-
press their appreciation to all who
so willingly and generously donated
and assisted in making the dinner and
sale a financial success.
Supt. Few announced that on next
Friday night the Smithville High
School will sponsor a home talent
play: “The ' Importance of Being
Earnest.” It is hoped that the public
will co-operate with the two schools
by their presence.
The rural school meet takes place
next Saturday, March 7th, and the
County Meet on March 20 and 21.
No other business, the Club ad-
journed. The book contest was won
by the sixth grade.
YEP, WE KNOW “WOODY”
Elwood (“Woody”) Nesrsta of Fla-
tonia, is going after bigger game.
We remember the tall, lanky boy
who came over to LaGrange at the
time the county meet was held, and
how he managed to get the edge on
his opponents and cop many of the
honors. We now see where he has
gnne to San Antonio, and we are
willing to wager that he will be
heard from. He is quoted by the San
Antonio Light:
“Nesrsta, lacking college entrance
credits, has entered the South Side
school and will keep in shape by
working with the Brackenridge thin-
ly-clads. He plans to attend Junior
college here next year.
“He is known as the “one-man
track team” and has won many hon-
ors for Flatonia.
“Nesrsta recently pole-vaulted 12
feet, 6 inches, and-has been close to
13 feet a number of times. He is a
crack broad jumper, can throw the
shot and > the discus, and tops the
timbers in the hurdle' races with re-
markable speed.’’
AN EXAMPLE OF DOING THINGS
RIGHT NOW
By midnight of Saturday the nov-
elty show that held »forth on the
Frede lot opposite the Magnolia Fill-
ing Station was ready for Cartage,
and early Sunday the large tent for
the Ford show was brought in. In
a little mdre than hour, the Ford
tent was up and th^ three banners
on the tent’s top were being toyed
with by’ the north wind. The work of
pitching the tent attracted quite a
crowd, and the quick manner of
erecting caused much comment. But,
that is the way Ford likes to do
things.
COURTlIOUSE MARRIAGE
Last Wednesday afternoon ’Squire
Schleier, in his usual pleasing man-
ner, performed the ceremony that

The couple left immediately for their
new home at Muldoon. Our congra-
tulations are offered to the happy
pair.

CAR THEFT AT SCHULENBURG
The sheriff’s department here was
advised last Friday afternoon, that
one 1927 model T Ford coupe had
Leen stolen from Chris. Baumgarten
at Schulenburg that day. The sheriff
went over- and made an investigation
and immediately caused to be issued

the return of the car, unburned or
unstripped.
State license No. D5-6235 was at-
tached to the car at the time it was
taken; Motor No. of , the car is
14528958, car is painted gray but
faded, and has a brand new black

cord in the car at the time it was
taken.
LATER—Since the above was
placed in type the sheriff informa the
Journal that the car stolen from Mn
Baumgarten was recovered at San
Antonio, having been abandoned by
the thief, but no trace or clew as to
who the thief is. While making his
investigation at Schulenburg last Sat-
urday, an abandoned DeSoto coupe
was found, presumed to be the one
the thief had Btolen at Houston. The
Houston car was stolen from one of
the public parking spots.
