FARM BUREAU ITEMS
With the national membership drive
for the Cotton Association about over,
with an addition of over 10,000 mem-
bers in Texas alone since January 1,
and deliveries of cotton increased 383
per cent, we are rendy to take up our
local bureau matters again, and with
renewed enthusiasm.
We And that there are now about
225,000 members of co-operative cot-
ton marketing associations in the
South with a gain of over 80,000 since
January 1. Oklahoma, the first state
to undertake co-operative marketing
of cotton, leads with 50,362 members.
Texas is fourth, with around 30,000
members. Deliveries of cotton have
increased from 200 to 450 per cent,
which is due to several causes. First,
the large number of new members,
second, increased deliveries by last
year’s members; this being caused by
the substantial .gains shown for last
year’s shippers, and secondly, by the
decision of the Supreme Court hold-
ing the contract fully enforceable.
The membership of the Fayette
County Farm Bureau and Cotton As-
sociation will meet in LaGrange, Sat-
urday September 22, at 8 o’clock p. m.,
and an instructive as well as inter-
esting program is being arranged.
All members are urged to attend and
bring their friends. Every member
should bring out at least one or two
(friends to attend with them.
Schulenburg local is urged, if im-
possible to attend as a whole, to send
a number of delegates.

PRESUN NOT SELFISH
Last week we made meption of the
accident that befell Edgar Albrecht,
employed at the Presun Coca Cola
Bottling plant, young Albrecht hav-
ing sustained a broken arm while
cranking the engine of a Ford truck.
Edgar’s injury is healing nicely.
Oscar Rose, chief bottler followed
with a severe cut in the left hand
when a bottle burst; Saturday Frank
Pratka joined the injured when he re-
ceived a severe cut on the left wrist,
and Tuesday afternoon of this week,
the boss, H. M. Presun, permitted a
bottle of soda water he was in the act
of testing to slip from his hand and
fall. He endeavored to grab the bot-
tle but it collided with an empty, and
as Henry came down with tne force
of his intent, his right hand was lacer-
ated. So the four of them are con-
{soling one another.
Later—Since the above was writ-
ten, Gene Johnson, negro truck driv-
er Tor the bottling works, was added
to the list of injured, having severely
cut his foot by accidently stepping on
a broken bottle at Engle, the protrud-
ing glass penetrating his footwear.

ROBS CALOMEL OF
NAUSEA AND DANGER
Medical Virtues Retained, and Im-
proved—Dangerous and Sickening
Qualities Removed. Perfected Tab-
let Called “Calotabs.”
The largest triumph of modern
science is a “de-nauseated” calomal
tablet known to the drug trade as
“Calotabs.” Calomel, most general-
ly useful of all medicines thus enters
upon a wider field of popularity—puri-
fied and refined from those objection-
able qualities which have heretofore
limited its use.
In biliousness, constipation, head-
aches and indigestion, and in a great
variety of liver, stomach and kidney
troubles, calomal was the most suc-
cessful remedy, but its use was often
neglected on account of its sickening
qualities. Now it is the easient and
moft pleasant of medicine to take. One
Calartab at badtime with a swallow of
water—that’s all. No taste, no gri-
ping no nausea, no salts. A good
night’s sleep and the next morning
you are feeling fine, with a clean
liver, a purified system and a big ap-
petite. Eat what you please, no dan-
ger.
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages," price thirty-five
cents for the large, family package;
ten cents for the small, trial size.
Your druggist is authorized to re-
fund the price as a guarantee that
you will be thoroughly delighted with

mittee, reported the proceeds of thi
recent ice cream sale $51.53, for which
the remaining half of the member-

ory of two loved members, Mrs. Dora

A traveling salesman visited the
Journal office last Thursday and
handed to the editor a funeral notice
which read as follows:

Tuesday, September 11, 1923, at 7:15
o’clock a. m., Capt. F. A. Schlick, aged
82 years, 9 months and 11 days.
The notice also gave the informa-
tion that the funeral was to be held
from the family residence Wednes-

news will be received by the friends
of Capt. Schlick with sincere regret.

Two items taken from the minutes
of the City Council, at their last reg-
ular meeting held Wednesday even-(
.ng of the past week:
Committee appointed to meet with
the school board to arrange for the
purchase of the old school grounds,
now in use, and empowered to- close
contract of purchase of grounds.
These grounds to be used by the city
hall and fire station. We are advised
that the sale was perfected, consid-
eration $7,500, six thousand cash, and
an indebtedness of fifteen hu.idred
dollars. This virtually means a new
city hall some time within the com-
ing year.
From the State Board of Health at
Austin, this letter was received, and
while not authorized to so state, some
action will be taken:
Hon. C. G. Robson, Mayor,
Dr. R. H, Knolle, City* Health Officer,
and City Council,
LaGrange, Texas.
Gentleman:
Subject—Health Nuisance Complaint,
LaGrange, Texas.
Now comes to us Mr. L. Rose, et al,
registering complaint as referred to
by the above subject, and more in de-
tail in part is as follows:
(1) Drainage in Southeast portion
of LaGrange bad—and standing water
will produce mosquitoes and may be-
come responsible for numerous cases
of malaria and dengue, unless the
water is drained or eliminated.
(2) Old abandoned church, located
on lot adjoining Mr. Walter Kneip, is
regular bat roost, and the odor is bad.
Standing water under church is a
mosquito breeder.
May we not ask that you use your
good office to investigate the correct-
ness of these complaints coming un-
der your jurisdiction, and take such
steps for correction as, in your opin-
ion, the findings may warrant, advis-
ing us accordingly.
Feeling sure that it is your desire
to co-operate in all matters pertain-
ing to the health of the public, we
shall anticipate your advices 'regard-
ing action in the premises.
Yours very truly.

EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY
The members of the Handel Club
will celebrate the eighteenth anniver-
sary of the club’s existence on their
birthday next Tuesday evening at
Handel Hall, with a short program.
For eighteen years the club has kept
together and stood for the develop-
ment of the musical interests in La-
Grange, and it is hoped that as each
recurring year passes the organiza-
tion will be stirred to greater efforts,
for there never was a time when
amateur effort is more needed to make
America a music loving people.
This is essentially the day of canned
and stored music. It is ground out
like bolognas at so much per. For
convenience, are have the phonograph,
the piano player, the radio, etc., but
none of these bring about a taste for
good music. On the contrary, good
music is now on the decline. Ft is
only when amateurs actually take
part, do the best they can, however,
crude and stumblingly perhaps, that
they get an insight into music and
foster a love for it. A genuine ap-
preciation can never be gotten by let-
ting a tin can grind it out with all its
brazen effrontery, nor by letting some
one else do it. Let us hope that our
young talented people of whom we
have many in LaGrange, will avail
themselves of the opportunity of lend-
ing a helping hand. G. E. L.

THE GET-TO-GETHER MEETING
The first get-to-gether meeting of
this school term will be had in Handel
hall tomorrow evening, Friday, Sep-
tember 21, at 8 o’clock. While these
meetings should properly be held at
the school building, the Handel hall
was selected because it is believed
that the audience will find the seats
more comfortable and the hall better
adapted for the purpose. The prog-
ram will consist of four minute talks
by some of our leading citizens, and
of community singing, besides the
presentation of diplomas to two
seventh-graders, Valeria Zapalac and
Emilie Ritter—who failed to secure
their certificates at the commence-)
ment exercises last May, but who had
grit enough to make up their back
work this summer. Geo. F. Lenert
will preside as master of ceremonies.
The following is the program that has
been outlined, viz:
1. Meeting of teachers.
2. America—Dixie. •
3k Mayor C. G. Robson.
4. City alderman Dr. B. Schmidt.
5. “Swing Low Sweet Chariot."

In company with his helpers John
Sehroeder has been very bu
the
ing, wf '
sistance of Surveyor C. B. Thames of
Bastrop, the Bastrop and Fayette
county lines up to two and a half
miles Northwest of Winchester, to the
Lee county line. The commissioners’
court of Fayette county at a former
session decided to meet with the rep-
resentative of the Bastrop county
court, and re-establish the line, or to
be* more correct, erect new markers,
to replace the cypress markers erect-
ed some forty years qr more ago.
In surveying the lines and marking
the points for the new stones, the sur-
veyors had some new experience. It
was discovered, in one or two in-
stances that the lines ran through the
property of the owners, as close as
the house front, and also where the
line would actually divide the home.
The parties did not take kindly to the
supposed transfer from this county to
another county.
For the information of the reader
we give here a copy of the act of
1837, which we believe will be read
with interest: ■■
An Act to establish the County of
Fayette:
Section 1. Be it enacted, by the
senate and house of representatives
of the republic of Texas, in Congress
assembled, That the territory em-
braced within the following boundar-
ies, shall constitute one of the coun-
ties of this republic, and be called the
county of Fayette:
Beginning at Grassmeyer’s ferry on
the Colorado, thence in a Northeast-
erly direction at right angles with the
general course of the river Colorado,
to the divide between the waters of
Colorado and the Brazos; thence down
said divide in a Southwestardly di-
rection to the Southwest corner of a
league of land granted to Wm. Bur-
nett; thence in a Southwestardly
crossing Colorado river, where the up-
per line of a league Of land granted
to J. Duty corners upon the same;
thence continuing the same course to
the Lavaca, at the upper corner of
the league of land granted to Wil-
liam Ponton; thence up the Lavaca
with the line between Austin and De-
Witt’s colony to the head of said
stream; thence,, in a Northeasterly
direction to thfe place of beginning,
so as to leave Grassmeyer’s iq the
county of Mina”—Approved Decem-
ber U, 1837. H ■
Acts of the Republic of Texas, Vol.
II, page 35.
The concrete markers will be placed
for a distance of twenty-five miles,
one every mile, commencing at Jed-
do, Bastrop county, and going above
Primm and Smithville to the old
Grassmeyer ferry, thence to a point
two and a half miles North of Win-
chester to a point where Bastrop and
Fayetfte counties intersect the Lee
county line. The markers are now
being prepared.

LOOK! LISTEN! FIGURE! BUYj i
LOOK at the implement before you buy.
LISTEN to the facts the dealer can give you on the quality of
the implement you want to buy.
FIGURE on the price you have to pay for the implement, and
the QUALITY you receive for your money.
BUY the implement that is the cheapest, not in the first buying
price, BUT in the price of quality and service that you arc receiving
with the machine you bought, in using it year after year.
That the International Harvester Implements are the cheapest
in price, figuring quality, is proven by the fact that the U. S. Govern-
ment has sued the company for putting the price on implements so
low that our competitors cannot compare with us in prices, and with
QUALITY.
LET OUR DEALERS, TIETJEN BROTHERS EXPLAIN
v THIS TO YOU.
Other dealers may advertise that they have the cheapest imple-
ment. If the price is lower than the price of the International Har-
vester Company, you will know that the quality is way below the
standard, else the U. S. Government would have sued them and not us.
Mr. Farmer, you expect to farm longer than two or three years,

WITNESSED CELEBRATION
RETURNS THANKS
During my late serious illness I
have been greatly comforted by the
expression of good will and friend-
ship of the teachers of the county
with whom it has been my privilege
and pleasure to work for many years.
The resolutions passed by them at the
last institute assembled, are more ap-
preciated than I am able to express,
while the solicitude so materially ex-
pressed by the colored teachers will
be fondly remembered.
I take these means of expressing
to all my former teachers and my
friends my sincere thanks and wish
them health and happiness.
Sincerely yours,
G. A. STIERLING.

COTTON GINNED
Report of the Department of Agri-
culture, Bureau of Census, has ad-
vised the local solicitor that his sum-
mary was correct, and that prior to
September 1, there was ginned in
Fayette county 22,588 hales of cot-
ton. For the same period last year,
there was ginned in this county 16,-
753 bales of cotton.
1
Mrs. Wm. Harms of Shiner, on a
visit with the family of Otto Moel-
lenberndt, in company with Mr. and
Mrs. T. H. Kroll and Mr. and Mrs.
Moellenberndt, attended the anniver-
sary celebration of the Lutheran
church at Warrentosr last Sunday.
Fifty years ago Rev. Harms founded
the Lutheran chnrch at Warrenton,
and at the celebration Sunday his wi-1
dow was the only member, present
fifty years ago, to be in attendance.
Reference was made to this in the
sermons. Mrs. Harms' feelings may
well be imagined, and she feels very
grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Kroll for
having taken her out to her former
home and thus enabling her to wit-
ness the ceremonies. Due to incle-
ment weather, so the Journal is in-
formed, the attendance was not as
large as it was hoped for.
