THE SCHULENBURG STICKER
Vol. XXII.
Schulenburg, Fayette Co.. Texas, Friday, September 8, 1916

The Settlement
The action of Congress by which
is ended the strike of railway em-
ployes that would have tied up all
transportation lines temporarily, at
least, will not be entirely satisfac-
tory to either party to the contro-
versy, but the general public is re-
joicing.
In the very nature of things it
could not be possible, because of
diverse interests and diversity of
opinion and sentiment, as sym-
pathies are enlisted on the side of
capital or labor, that any settle-
ment would be without some ob-
jection. •
The judgment of the average in-
dividual is warped by personal in-
terest, environment and not infre-
quently by political considerations
where it is possible to inject politics
into the matter at issue. In sucu
circumstances it seems only possi-
ble to strike a balance as nearjy as
may be and compute the good
along with what may be considered
the bad and trust to the future to
demonstrate that it will all come
out right in the washing. Presi-
dent Wilson undertook to arbitrate
thedifferences between the contend-
ing forces and to substitute reason
and justice and fairness for stub-
borness and the employment of
force, which would be niet by the
resistance of force; peaceful adjust-
ment as the alternative for destruct-
ive warfare. Failure to adjust the
antagonistic 'elements to come to
any sort of agreement, he put the
matter up to Congress in the confi-
dence that organized government
could find a way to save itself from
the horrors of disorganized society
and industrial chaos,
The first thing to do, of course,
was to' avert the impen ding catas-
trophe which would have paralyzed
business and industry, e ntailing the
loss of millions of dollars daily to
the interests involved that had no
part whatever in the controversy,

as well as to those directly responi-
ble for it. When their blood is up
men can hardly be persuaded to
reason calmly and judicially, for
each is inclined to believe that he
is wholly right and his opponent
wrong, but if time be given them
to cool down and possibly to real-
ize that all the justice is not all on
one side and all the injustice on
the other it is at least conceivably
probable that methods of adjust-
ment may be found that will be
fair alike to all interests.
By the action of Congress a strike
that would have unsettled condi-
tions and brought about a situation
of incalculable loss, and destitution
to millions of innocent sufferers, has
been averted! Nothing has been
settled, save, perhaps, that by the
enactment of law eight hours a day
shall contitute a day's labor in the
operation of railroad trains engaged
in interstate commerce and that
rates of wages shall be based there-
on after January 1 next, unless
after a period of six to nine months,
during which the operation of the
law will be investigated by a com-
mission appointed by the Prsident1
Congress may see fit to repeal or
amend the law. Other measures
suggested by President Wilson were
left out of consideration for the
the time being, but to be taken up
later, when another Congress as-
sembles and when more time may be
given to an enhaustive study of all
the questions involved, with a view
to permanent adjudication, and, if
possible, to prevent the recurrence
6f such troubles.
As long as men cannot all see
alike they will not judge alike, biit
it is something to know that indus-
trial peace has been assured with-
out any sacrifice of principle and
that another impending crisis has
been safely passed.—San Antonio
Express.
Health Cranks
Trinity County News; A wise nut
has'discovered that it is unhealthy
for two persons to occupy the same
bed, regardless of the fact recorded
in the Book of Books that Moses
slept with his forefathers, which was
five to a hill, and then live to the
ripe old age of seven or eight hun-
dred and twenty years. Another
savior of the health of his brethren
has learned that it is unsafe to ride
a horse that another fellow has rid-
den, or to attend church where
other people axtend. The kiss has
branded as a tempter of death in
all manner of diseases. Hand-shak-
ing is now considered extremely
dangerous. The Crosby Times thinks
if things keep up it will be un-

Demand Clean Drugs
It is not enough for drugs to be pure, fresh
and of standard strength. They must be
stored and dispensed in such a manner and
under such conditions as to insure absolute
cleanliness and the preserving of thesfe
qualities. Some drugs must be kept in cold
storage, others must be kept from light and
still others in air tight containers. Our
drugs are of the highest quality and are
stored in a way to prevent deterioration.
Every drawer in our store is enclosed in a separate
compartment and is vermin, rat and dust proof*

Rat Clean Up
Austin.—The records of the
State pure food and drug depart-
ment relative to the recent cam-
paign conducted by the department
against rats, have been destroyed,
and the destructive agent was rats.
The discovery of the loss of the rec-
ords was made Saturday when Com-
missioner Hoffman asked the porter
of the department to bring him the
rat record book. <:Dey ain't no
mo' rat records," said the porter.
"De rates themselves has done gone
an' done away with dem records."
Sudan Grass
Chief Eilers planted some cane
at his home this year and last
week he saw some extra large
stalks which looked altogether
different from the balance of the
crop. Investigation proved it to
be some extra fine specimens of
Sudan grass, some of which had
been planted in the field the year
before. Sudan grass is sup-
posed to grow but one year with-
out replanting but in this in-
stance it either broke its record
or some of the seed dropped
when gathering had lain dormant
through the winter and came up
on its own hook to show the cane
crop what it could do.
Mail Carrier Has Accident
F. A. Binder, carrier on Route
2 out of Schulenburg, was
knocked out of commission the
other day through ne*glect of the
overseer to cut the weeds along
that route. While making a
trip a cow that was browsing in
the tall weeds at the roadside
scared Mr. Binder's horse, and
the carrier was thrown to the
ground. In the fall an arm was
broken and one leg becoming en-
tangled in a wheel of the vehicle,
was badly lacerated and bruised.
If better care is not taken of this
road Uncle Sam may discontinue
Route 2.
It All Evens Up
A farmer who has had some
experience hunting for the high-
est cotton market has come to
the conclusion that Schulenburg
is as good as any of them. Other
townk may be a sixteenth of a
cent higher at times, but he has
found that the price of his pur-
chases has soared up in propor-
tion and he believes the mer-'
chants here pay just as much for |
the fleecy staple as the market;
' will justify. . [

Fayette County Land Pays
Dr. Clark expects to receive a
net profit from his little farm at
the edge of town consisting of 14
acres which will reach about $50
to the acre this year. It was a
worn out piece of sandy land,
about as poor as can be found in
this part of the country any-
where. For three years he
planted corn in ihe spring or
some feed crop and followed it
with peas or beans which were
plowed under in the fall. This
year he has already had picked
four bales of cotton which aver-
aged 670 pounds to the bale and
will get six or even more. A
bale sold Wednesday netted him
with the seed, $120.60, and the
cost of picking deducted from
the price left $106.55. This land
was plowed five times and he
figures $3 a day for that, rent on
the land $5 an acre and the chop-
ping cost him $30 and the total
cost was $175. To date he has
received net $231.55 after the cost
of picking was deducted. For a
piece of worn out sandy land a
net profit of $50 an acre, where
all the labor is hired, is certainly
a very comfortable return on the
money invested.

More Improvements
The Sticker received some
more new type . and equipment
for its job printing department
this week. If any of you have
been sending your orders away
from home, we would be very
glad to have you turn them over
to us at the same price the city
shops are quoting you and can
guarantee the work to be satis-
factory. Two jobs were turned
out this week which have been
going out of town and the cus-
tomer said he thought the Sticker
work was just a little better than
he had been getting.
In the Big League
Ross Youngs, who played base
ball here for two seasons, has
been sold to the Nationals at New

league salary.
Up In the Air
Valentine Vlcek took a party
of friends to the dance at the
Mensik platform the first of the - ?
week in his new car and has
about decided that it is not cor-
rectly named. Whether it should
be called the Squirrel or the
Woodpecker he has not been
able to decide. When the picnic
grounds were reached he got one
foot on the brake and the other
on the gasoline feed and the car ._
started to climb a big live-dak
tree—and came very near doing
it. No one was hurt and the car
was brought to town under its
own power, though the front and .J
axle were considerably bunged ;>,•>
