HERMANN SONS MEET
E. Zilss, J. F. Rosenhain and his
two daughters, Misses Gussie
Anna, and this correspondent made
the automobile trip to Schulenburg
and attended the quarterly meeting
of the Hermann Soru county asso-
ciation, last Sunday. The business
meeting was very interesting, some
matters were discussed that were of
benefit to the Hermann, Sons mem-,
bership and the auxiliary lodge, af-
ter which the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:
Philip Lorfing of Rutersville, presi-
dent; Geo. Hausler of LaGrange,
vice-president; Hermann Tietjen, Ru-
tersville, secretary, and Aug. Giese
of Ellinger, secretary.
, After the meeting closed, the mem-
bers of the Bister lodge at Schulen-
burg served sandwiches and cake.
Then the Ernst A. Winkler band of
Schulenburg came in and entertained
the crowd with good music, gratious-
ly furnished,, and the music caused
many to engage in dancing.- In be-
half of our crowd from Winchester
thanks are extended to the members
Of the sister lodge, the Winkler band
and those who made us all have such
a nice time.
The next county meet will be held
at Flatonia, the first Sunday in Feb-
ruary 1932, in the afternoon. Thanks
are also offered Sengelmann Bros.,
for the use of their hall.

Sunday and visited for the day with
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Williams and
family.
Friday night, October 30, the Ju-
niors and sub-Juniors of the Win-
chester school attended a Hallowe’en
party at the school house.
Many games were played; these
were, a pumpkin hunt, a bat hunt,
pumpkin relay race, peanut toss,
walking on the black cate, blowing
out the candle, fortune telling. At
this point the candles were blown
out, leaving the room in complete
darkness. Then.came the ghost story,
followed by distribution of parts of
the “dead man”. After this refresh-
ments were served, also pop corn
balls and taffy candy.
At a spooky hour the youngsters
went home in weird Hallowe’en
moonlight.
H. J. Reinsch was at Schulenburg
last Sunday, and visited the Carna-
tion milk plant. He was very much
impressed with what was shown to
him.
And after the all had beeu said,
they shook hands and went home;
I the rates for. the use of electricity
remain an they are with the promise
'of a possible reduction when the con-
jsumcrs’ increase will warrant the
| change.
, : The Journal reporter sat through-
*n out the entire meeting of the Cham-
ber of Commerce last Monday night,
and gave a listening ear; he heard
the secretary read the letters re-
ceived from Yoakum, Bastrop, Co-
lumbus and other place* and heard
the statement mad* that “it would
take a Philadelphia lawyer to under-
stand the rate summary” and finally
leaned back in his seat and heard the
discussions that followed. And after
all had been said, the motion to ad-
journ was made, and the men and
women went back to their homes.
The question of trying to secure a
reduction i« the rate for electric
juice was the magnet that drew out
a better attendance at the Chamber
of Commerce meet than has been pos-
sible for the entire year. Naturally,
the people wanted to know all about
it and why, and they got it straight.
After the last letter received by and
read by the secretary was laid aside,
C. G. Blum, field manager for the
Texas Public Service Company arose
and in response to a query stated
what the properties of the company
were, what they - were assessed at
and that the net earnings on the in-
vestment — assessed at $167,000—
were 4.7%.
We give no figures, we quote rio
rates as they are in force in the towns
from whence the letters had come,
because it will not help the cause;
again, there are so iftany questions to
be considered, when the rates charged
in other towns, especially where a)

It will be noticed that some of the
owners contented themselves with
merely purchasing the terrapin and

named their purchase.
In this race, you may pick your
winner, regardless of who the owqer

races are to be run in heats, with

of all heats run in final race, this
prize being $15.00.
HIGHWAY NO. 44 RIGHT-OF-WAY
Judge Lueders will leave for Aus-
tin on Thursday morning to make hit
report to the Highway Commission,
i showing that right-of-way land for
Highway No. 44 has been secured
with the exception of two tracts at
the upper line, near Lee County. The
Commission advises in its suggestion
that the right-of-way be complete,
hence there may be some delay be-
cause of the failure of the Commis-
sioners’ Court to secure these last
two tracts.
we believe that every business' con-
cern—unless it be a small town news-
paper plant, where the patronage is
very limited, and all the earnings,
so-called, are used, to keep the busi-
ness in operation—provides for the
ture, and this would especially ap-
y to a municipal plant, where every
payer is interested. But we could
have stated that at the meeting.
That tells in condensed form, what
took place at the meeting held Mon-
day night. Just before the motion
was made to adjourn, Dr. Schmidt,
Who had the floor for several mom-
ents, appealed to those present to
