More Prohibition.
Austin, Tex., Nov. 6.—The Dean
prohibition law is seriously cripp-
ling the wcrk of the laboratory of
the state food and dreg depart-
ment, Commissioner R, H. Hoff-
ner, said today. The department
is without alcohol and as the situa-
tion now stands Commissioner
Hoffman says he is unable to obtain
any kind of a supply.
At the laboratory there are two
human stomachs which are rapidly
decomposing because of no alcohol
to preserve them. These stomachs
were sent to the food and drug de-
partment for analysis, they having
been taken from persons whose
death resulted from suspecting poi-
soning. The food and drug com-
mis ioner has been advised by the
attorney general’s department that
it will be university laboratory or
other state laboratory.
‘‘I do not intend to take any
chance cf violating the law, even
to serve the district and attorneys
of the state,” said C.'mmissioner
Hoffman.

If you love to dance be sure to
attend. A good time is assured.
According to the Houston Post
those who voted against the graft
amendments last Tuesday did so
because of ignorance. The old
swash-buckler is a mighty old pa-
per not to know that “ignorance is
bliss.” If ignorance protects the
home from the insatiable greed of
the grafter, then we are glad to
plead guilty to an over-abundance
of it. If ignorance caused us to
cast our vote against a scheme that
would have raised the average
taxes up to $6.30 on the $100 valu-
ation in this state and thereby be-
gin a Bystem of property confisca-
tion, then we thank God that we
are ignorant. If ignorance caused
us to go to the polls and tell
an unreliable bunch of legislators
at Austin that we are tired of them
stealing our vote and violating the
constitution of this State, then we
are proud to be classed amongst the
ignorant. No, it’s not ignorance
and The Post knows it. It is a
word from the sturdy yeomanry of
this State ihat the day of the
hypocritical ahd avaricious politi-
cal grafter is over.—that’s all!—
Bay City Tribune.
Young man of golden oppor-
tunities, dont sit down and boast
of your ancestry, for some little
ragged boy, the son of a poor
widow, and one whom you have
disregarded in school, may soon
outstrip and rise far above you
in the scale of honor and useful-
ness. Remember that Abraham
Lincoln was the son of a very
poor widow, arid his avocation
when he was a boy was that of
making rails. When “Abe” was
about grown his poor old mother
said: "I would rather Abe
would learn to read the Bible
than for him to own a farm.”
Abraham Lincoln was an hon-
est, industrious boy, and he be-
came one of the greatest men of
America. A. ELLMORE.
Only 125 votes were polled in
Yoakum on the amendments. No
election was held on the Lavaca
Co. side for some unkown reason.
O. W. Miller, Rudolf Koenning
and Albert Turek left Monday
night for Seadrift, on the Coast,
and returned Tuesday night, as
usual with a supply of cluck and
fish. The Editor was overlooked
this time but has been promised
a feast on the next trip.
Mr. Iyan G. Wright, Instruc-
tor of the University of Texas
will deliver a lecture in Shiner
in the near future to present the
New Peace Time Program which
has been outlined by National
Headquarters American Red
Cross. And will state why the
Home Service Section should
extend in Lavaca County. Those
who * do not understand this
branch of work ate especially
urged to attend this lecture. Mr.
Wright is an experienced Social
worker, a graduate of the Uui-
versity of Ohio. Before coming
to Texas, he was recreation
manager of the Park and Play-
ground Association of North
Carolina, and child pl&cing agent
in the state of Ohio.
Mrs. Elo Wolters is one out ot
the 2064 Social Workers-who has
graduated from the Home Ser-
vice Section American Red Cross
at the University of Texas, tin-
der the instruction of Mr.
W right. Date of lecture Will
follow.
The large store of B. H. Daily
at Eagle Lake was burglarised
iast Saturday night and about
$1,000 worth of goods taken.
The burglars pried open a back
window and then opened a back
door to get out their plunder.
Eagle Lake should have a night
watchman as has Shiner, and
and this never could have hap-
pened.
A wedding on Armistice day
should mean a peaceful and
happy life, and one such occurred
at the residence of Rev. W. • Dzie-
was on Tuesday noon, when Mr.
Emil Meyer and Miss Emma
Schroder were paired for life.
The parlor was beautifully deco-
rated, and quite a number of rela-
tives and friends were present to
witness the ceremony. The
brides-maids were* Misses Hilda
Meyer and Hilda Schroeder. The
groomsmen; Eddy Schroeder and
Geo. Zander.
The Gazette wishes the young
couple many 1 happy and blissful
days. _____
An exchange speaks of the
game of “gossip5*, which is hav
ing quite a run in some locations
in the East. It is played with
photographs. They are shuffled
and dealt out like cards* every
one receiving a photo. > It is then
the play to tell every mean thing
that can be thought of about the
person photographed. We know
of some localities where the
game has been played for years
without photographs.
