THE SCHULENBURC STICKER
Vol. XXIII.
Scbulenburg, Fayette Co., Texas, Friday, August 17,1917
Much More Work to Do
That the work for providing ne
cessitiesifor family use is just be-
ginning, is being rather vigorously
stressed by the Southern Pacific
Lines in Texas and Louisiana,
jH. M. Mayo, head of the develop-
ment department of that System,
in a recent interview, among other
things, saidi "The government
estimates that result of the recent
campaign for home gardens was the
production of nearly $400,00,000
worth of garden Jtruck, all of which
was used to reduce the cost of living
to the invidual, and to make avail-
able for consumption in the cities
and by our allies, of an equal quan-
tity or amount of perishable pro.
ducts and feed stuffs.
"The splendid response by the
people all over the country in the
direction of home gardens, following
the propaganda of last winter, only
shows bow easy it is to increase
food production and decrease living
expenses ii the individual will take
sufficient time to become interested
iu a most productive hobby..
"There should be no let up in
this remarkable work and every
family which enjoyed the benefits
of home production should duuble
their efforts, individually and col-
lectftely, to exceed past accomplish-
ing! and to become thoroughly
imbTl&d with the fact that not only
L \
are living expense reduced, but
that vegetables grown under one's
direction and through one's enter-
prise and skill are a thousand times
more enjoyable than those pur-
chased.
"The propaganda for increased
production of food and feed stuffs
should be kept alive and in this
work there is no element so potent
as an educational factor as is the
country newspapers and you can
waga your last dime that the coun-
try editor is going to push this edu-
cational movement into its final
analysis."
Touring Europe
Iredell Record: A few yerrs ago
we all wanted to go to Europe, and
regretted that we were not financi-
ally able to go. Now we are offered
all expenses paid and a good salary
while we are gone, but most of us
have changed our minds and don't
want to go at all. xx
Several hundred thousand young
Americans will visit Europe during
the coming year, with all transpor-
tation expenses paid including
meals, and medical treatment for
those who get seasick. In addition
to free steamship tickets, these
young huskies will be given two
complete outfits of clothing and a
minimum salary of $33 a month
They will be required to do some
work in Europe, but as most of
NUTRILINE
Scientific Cooked Feed
NUTRTILINE is composed of alfalfa meal, corn chops,
cotton seed meal, rice bran, molasses and a little salt and
is steam cooked. In digestive nutrients it contains of
crude protein 9 80, crude fat 4.90, carbohydrates 48.50.
Oats has 8.70, 4.30 and 49; corn has 7.90, 4.30 and 61.50
respectively, which proves it by government test to con-
tain more food value than either oats or corn and means
you can get tlfe same results by feeding a less amount.
The price of Nutriline is $2.95 a sack.

won't mind it very much. Also
about thirty of them may get hurt,
but a good many of them would get
hurt if they stayed at home. Of
course some of those who are des-
tined to go on this European tour
might prefer not to go, if choice
were left to them. But after they
do go, and come back, they will ad-
mit that they wouldn't have missed
the adventure for any amount of
money. There will be discomforts
and risks and many harsh experi-
ences for these young Americans in
Europe, but there will also be re-
wards Galveston Naws.

"Victory Bread'!
Gus. Baumgarten took the
cottonseed crushers' convention
at New Orleans by storm with the ,
bread, cakes, cookies, etc-, baked
from his Allison Flour. The
large bakeries and hotels filled
the daily papers with ads boost-
ing "Victory Bread" and the
largest grocer in the city adver-
tised that he would sell one'pound
packages at cost to give the citi-
zens a trial of what he called the
biggest improvement in bread
making since the Indians broke
their maize with a stone hammer.
The following is a small part of
a special article in the Times-
Picayune, the oldest newspaper
in the South, under the following
head:
COTTON SEED FLOUR GAINS
FRIENDS HERE—HOUSEWIVES
AND ERA CLUB BACK IT.
"Ever since Miss Alice Hick-
man, government demonstrator
of food conservation for Louisi-
ana, showed the Housewives'
league, the second week in June,
how cottonseed flour, made by
the Baumgarten process, can be
used as a partial substitute for
wheat flour, eggs and shortening
in bread, interest in the new
| flour has grown.
! "Members of the Housewives'
J league at once sent for samples
J of the flour and have been making
| lightbread, biscuits, muffins, waf-
! fles, gingerbread and cakes with
it. More recently another large
■ body of women, the Era club, has
taken up the new flour and will
| hold a meeting Thursday to popu-
larize cottonseed flour among
housekeepers. Miss Kate Gordon
announced Monday that one of
the largest firms of bakers is ex-
perimenting with it with a view to
introducing this 'Victory ibread,'
as she has named, it; and she
called attention to the possibility
of the enormous saving in the(use
of wheat which the South could
accomplish by using systemati-
cally one part of cottonseed flour
to four parts of wheat.
This was followed by a number
of recipes, furnished the Texas
State University, one of whose
heads has been called to Wash-
ington, D. C., for future work
with the U. S. department.
From Representative Haidusek
Austin, Texas, August 9, 1917—
I am in receipt of communications
from my friends, some of said com-
munications in the nature of letters
and some in the nature of petitons.
Some of these friends are under the
impression that I am prejudiced
against the Governor, James E.
Ferguson, in the investigation of
the charges against him now being
conducted by the House of Repre-
sentatives.
In order that the record might be
kept straight, and my friends might
know how I stand in this contro-
versy I take this method of ex-
prasssing my position.
Upon the convening of the 35th
Legislature in Second Called Ses-
sin by the speaker, Hon. F. O. Ful-
ler, certain charges were made by
said Fuller against the Governor,
James E. Ferguson. The speaker,
Hon. F. O. Fuller, requested the
consideration of the charges as
made by him, so that the House of
Representatives may decide whether
or not in their judgment they should
present to the Senate a bill of im-
peachment against the said James
E. Ferguson.
A resolution by Judge Fly of
Gonzales and others was then
introduced. The resolution pro-
vided the method of conducting
a full, fair and impartial investiga-
tion. Mr. Bagby of Lavaca county
offered a substitute for the Fly reso
lution which provided among other
things that the House elect a
Speaker Pro tem who should be
vested with all the power and
auhority of the regularly elected
speaker to preside over the House
of Representatives when the matter
relating to said charges are pending,
before the same or when the House
shall be sitting as a Committee of
the whole, for the purpose of con-
sidering the same.
My reason for voting against the
Bagby resolution was because under
the Constitution of the State ot
Texas, the Speaker of the House is
elected to preside over the House.
There is no provision in the Consti-
tution for a Speaker pro tern as
provided for by the Bagby Substi-
tute.
Before the adoption of the Fly
resolution, certain friends ot the
speaker stated that the person who
was to act as Chairman of the Houe
when sitting as a Committee of the
whole would be agreeable to all.
The speaker recommended that
Judge Fly act as Chairman when
the House was sitting as a Com-
mittee of the whole. Not a dis- j
senting vote was cast in opposition '
to the selection of Judge Fly.
When 1 took oath of office a# a j
member of the Legislature that!
oath provided in part that I would
faitfully and impartially discharge
and perform all the duties in-!
cumbent upon me as representative
according'4to the best of my skill and .
ability agreeablly to the Constitu- j
tion and laws of the United States
and of this State.
The duty of a member of the
HoaAuL-Considering the charges
)vernor is sitniliar!
to the duty of a grand juror while
sitting on a grand jury. Just as a
grand juror hears the facts and evi-
dence in certain cases so does the
member of the House in the case
like the one now before us, sit and
hear the evidence. Just as a grand
juror votes to return an indictment
against a person after hearing the
facts and evidence so do the mem-
bers of the House after hearing the
facts and the evidence present a bill
of impeachment to the Senate.
No person sitting on the grand jury
ought to return an indictment
against any person before he hears
the facts and evidence. Likewise no
person who is a member of the
House should render a verdict be-
fore hearing the facts and evidence.
Since the investigation of the
charges have been ordered, I am in
fa#or of a full, fair impartial inves-
tigation. I have gone into this in-
vestigation with an open and an
impartial mind. I am not preju-
diced against the Governor as some
of my friends stated to me in their
letters. I shall consider the testi-
mony and the facts, not as I have
heard them from any man or read
them ill' any newspaper, but as in-
troduced before the Committee in
the House.
For m£ at this time before I have
heard all the facts and the evidence
to come to a conclusion as to the
truth or falsity of the charges would
be a violation of my oath of office.
Not only that but 1 would not be
fair to myself nor to all parties con-
cerned. I will state, however, if
upon the conclusion of the evidence
introduced before the House be-
ieve the Governor should be im-
peached I certainly shall vote to
have him impeached. If, however,
L believe from the evidence that the
Governor should not be impeached
I sha'l vote not to impeach him. I
i
shall in 'his as I would in an>r other
case where a person is being tried
give the benefit of the doubt to the
Governor.
Trusting that 1 have made myself
plain, I beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
GEO. L. HAIDUSEK,
Representative 70thJDistrict.
Last week's Schulenburg Sticker
reports sixteen marriage licenses
granted and twenty-four births in
its county, Fayette, for the previous
week. Had this been a report from
Harris or Jefferson county, and
others we might name, the report
would have been about twenty-four
divorces as compared to the sixteen
weddings. There are devious ways
of building up a community, a state,
a nation or a ra; but the best, surest
and most enduring way to accomp-
lish this is that which makes the
Fayett county record noteworthy.—
Palacious Beacon.
