'Phone No. 125.
Yes, everything is going up,
even to the price of Dodson's
pills.
Charlie Laas, tax assessor of
Colorada county, it is reported,
is soon to take the position of
cashier of T. A. Hill's bank in
Weimer. Henry knows every
man, woman and child in the
county and there will be no need
of his making any loans that are
not well secured.
An injustice: Not long since a
bunch of soldiers stationed at
Brownsville rigged up in bath-
ing suits and going into a saloon
invested in wet goods. The sa
loon keeper was arrested for do-
ing business with soldiers. He
claimed, and rightly, too, that no
man on feUrth could tell a soldier
from anybody else when togged
out in a bathing Suit. This sa
loon keeper has been roughly
dealt with.
The people who push things at
at Flatonia are putting forth ev-
ery effort this year to make their
fair better than any previously
held. The dates selected are
September 2(3, 27, 28 and 29, and
in spite of the dry season some-
thing worth going miles to see
will be the outcome of the efforts
now being put forth. A county
fair goes far towards building
up the section in which it is
held and all are deserving of pat-
ronage from the territory tribu-
tary.
Col. Sam Harbin, the beautiful
brunette who acts as secretary
year in and year out for us press
jllows when not engaged in pre-
paring pink pills for pale people,
las writ his annual book and had
it Sprinted. As a compiler Sam
is popular mit der boys—and
girls—who handle lead pencils
and scissors and i;aste pots.
Sam is a wise guy and catches on
to much at these annual press
meetings. The printer people—
boys and girls—like Sam's books
—not because of what he puts in
'em but because of what he leaves
out of 'em. A copy has reached
this office.
That man Bickitt who has
charge of the men and the mules
and the horses and all other
things at the state farm, testified
the other day before the nosing
committe of the state legislature
and those who heard or read his
testimony in the daily papers
could not fail to form an exalted
opinionion of the man and con-
gratulate our governor upon hav-
ing selected at least one man
who is well fitted to discharge
the duties of the office to which
he was appointed. In a straight-
forward business-like way he
Fost-oJMce as
told the condition of these farms
when he was let in, what had
been done and what is being
done to day and all wus made so
plain that^en a left-handed man
could understand it. Now that
this investigation has been
started it should be kept up until
every employe of the state shall
have been put through a grueling
process and the truth brought
out in every instance.
That investigation of state offi-
cial now on in Austin is costing
the taxpapers of the state a heap
of money but after all it will be
the makin' of the pup.
Red-headed Victor Murdock
has been nominated by President
Wilson for a place on the federal
trade commission and the senate
should hasten to confirm him.
Although a republican Murdock
is one of the best men that ever
served the common people in
Washington. There is nothing
agin him as a public man but his
red hair. *
Commissioner Davis wants a
whole lot more money for his
state board of agriculture depart-
ment and says if he don't get it,
in order to save the good name of
t'ie state he will have to go down
into his own jeans and takeout
$2,000 to buy stamps with which
to send out more circulars.
Don't do it, Davis. Let the office
be abolished and the work turned
over to the A. & M. college. This
office will wire Farmer Jim to
have this matter attended to at
once and save further worry
over stamp money.
The Red Cross
The regular meeting of the
Red Cross was held Monday
night at Turner Hall. Only a
small number was present.
Reports from several commit-
tees were heard. It was desided
to give to each member, free of
charge, a Red Cross pin, which
have been ordered.
The ladies are urgently re-
quested to meet Tuesday after-
noon, August 21, at 4:30 o'clock,
at Turner Hall.
Washington, D. C.—A state-
ment, making it clear that the
American Red Cross will not
neglect German wounded or
prisoners and will welcome co-
operation from Americans of
German origin was authorized by
Chairman Davison of the Red
Cross War Council. '-When war
was declared between the United
States and Germany," said Dr.
Davison, "the neutrality of the
American Red Cross, of course,
ended automatically. The Amer-
ican Red Cross can co-operate
only behind the lines of the Ar-
mies of the United States and its
allies. But the Red Cross knows
no such thing as nationality of a
wounded man. Any wounded
enemy turned over to the care of
the American Red Cross will re-
ceive as kindly treatment as any
friend'"

William C. Steinmann Killed
News reached here Tuesday,
that Wm. C. Steinmann had been
shot and almost instantly killed
at his home near Yoakum that
morning. Aug. and Max Stein-
mann and Helmuth Helmcamp
and wife left at once in a car for
Yoakum.
Later it developed the circum-
stances were about as follows:
William C. Steinmann had been
recently appointed guardian for
the step children of Alex Oehlers,
their mother being a sister of
Mrs. Steinmann. The appoint-
ment did not please the step
father and spme words (had pas-
sed between the two men. Tues-
day morning it is understood
Oehlers rode up to the lot where
Mr. Steinmann was milking and
shot him twice with a repeating
rifle, death coming shortly after-
wards. Mrs. Steinmann ran out
of the house and he shot twice at
her, neither bullet hitting the
mark. Oehlers is then reported
to have rode to a neighbors
house and; reported that he had
killed both of the Steinmanns
and wa^ going to the timber and
that he would never be taken
alive. As soon as he left the
neighbor phoned Yoakum and a
posse in autos headed the fugitive
off before he reached the timber.
Running into a little clump trees
the fugitive fired one shot and
when the officers approached he
was dead with a bullet through
his brain.
Wm. Steinmann was an old
settler of this section at one time
and has made a fortune in the
stock business near Yoakum.
He is survived by his wife, two
sons, Edwin and Ernst, and one
daughter, Mrs. B. F. Flint of
Yoakum. Three brothers sur-
vived him here.

Half Mile Limit
All saloons in any of the incor-
porated towrns in the southern
district of Texas, within half a
mile of where troops are quar-
tered, must close immediately

This was an order issued Wed-
nesday by John E. Green, Jr.,

by Mr. Green that there are 19

Overcome Constipation with a
Good Mineral Oil
A mineral oil 'is considered more
\ '
valuable for use in ^ases of constipation
than an olive oil because it is not so
readily assimilated b|y the body. For
this reason it provides an excellent in-
testinal lubricant. It relieves constipa-
tion in the most na^uraii way.

Charter Filed
The application for the charter
of the Ig. Russek State Bank of
Schulenburg was placed on file
last week with the following in-
corporators: Mrs. Rosa Russek,
Chas. Matula, Chas. Sengelmann,
Sr., Ernst Russek, Henry Rus-
sek, Gus. Ruhmann and Fred.
Bittner. The capital stock of
$25,000 has been distributed
among a number of others
throughout this territory which
will add much to the banks popu-
larity. Officers and directors
will not be elected until the
charter is granted.
Men Called for War.
According to the report of the
local board published in the La-
Grange Journal, they selected
10t) of the 220 men required and
exempted 117, which passes 229
men to the district board to get
120 men out of, which is hardly
probable. The local board found
twenty men in the Schulenburg
district who either made no claim
for exemption or whose claim
was denied. Eighteen were
turned down for physical disa-
bility. T?ie balance of the forty-
one in the Schulenburg district
had exemption claims which were
passed on po the H°ustou board
for final decision. The twenty
men called can appeal but with
little chance of eiESFfi
National Highway
The Direct Route, better
known ad the Cenral Route, of
tb§ National Highway, met with
the State highway commission
at Austin Wednesday. Every
town between Houston to San
Antonio was represented, some
with as many as twenty dele-
gates. Schulenburg was repre-
sented by J. C. Baumgarten,
president of the organization, R.
C. Boettcher, Henry Borchers,
Oscar Wolters and H. A. Sengel-
mann. Senator Clark took time
off to appear with them.
As near as the Sticker can
make the puzzle out, it is a waste
of time and money to appear be-
fore the commission expecting to
get National or State aid with no
works to back up the claim.
Those routes whicji have not
been "designated" have only to
file an official map of a route
from one principle city to an-
other and it will be "designa-
ted." The direct route through
Schulenburg is designated as
No. 3. The north rou;e as 3A,
through LaGrange, the south
route as 3B through Victo-
ria. The number of "designa-
tion" means nothing. It only
enables a road so labeled to use
one-ha If of the proceeds from
local auto licenses. Otherwise
some other " designated" road
would get it all.
