It was decided to have transla-
tion of article in "The Texas," a
Bohemian paper at Houston, sent
to Postmaster General with view
of stopping mailing of such mat-
ter to arouse bitterness between
citizens of Bohemian and German
descent.
S. B. Shelburne reported that
ty complained of flying ser
flag of 4 stars, now have one
3 stars, same being for 3
brothers of his wife who joined
in another county.
A Mr. Miller of the Bureau of
investigation had arrived Sunday
night to investigate affairs at
imannsville. Secretary had
volunteered to take him out in
auto. Monday morning Council
sretary was informed that the
restigator had to leave on 10:40
train and could not go to Am
mannsville. No more had been
heard to date.
In regard to complaint against
L. Legler at Plum for charging
for making out Questionaires,
papers had been sent to State
Council, and Albert Psencik, Jr.,
had charge of post office in place
of Mr. Legler.
Complaint made that allottment
to Chris. Balko through son Ed-
gar Hugo, was deemed excessive
and ordered that secretary write
each bank and tabulate allott-
ments made to Fayette county
families to ascertain if the coun-
ty is dealt With fairly and no one
is obtaining allottment they are
not entitled to.
Reported that Wm. Schoedel,
teacher of Washington school,
refused to organize junior Red
Cross among school children,
and order reported to deprive
party of right to teach school.
A number of matters came up
concerning organization to dis-
pense with the individualism
which it has heretofore been
necessary to depend upon.

Red Cross
The regular meeting of the
Red Cross was held on Thurs-
day, July 18.
Mrs. Bridgwater, Miss Louise
Matula and J. C. Baumgarten at-
tended the County Chapter meet-
ing on Friday, July 19, and
report a good meeting. Mrs.
Bridgwater received the follow-
ing allotment for Schulenburg's
quota of work to be done in the
near future: Pajamas 7, French
slippers 6, comfort kits 8, Boys'
suits 6, aprons 10, sweaters 75,
pairs socks 150; approximate
value $307.84. Everything will
be furnished by St. Louis head
quarters except thread and need-
les. As soon as the material for
this allotment reach us, the work
at the Red Cross rooms will be
resumed. Any shortage of knit-
ting needles in our town will be
supplied by little Miss Annie
Ruhmann, who makes at her
father's wire plant excellent
needles of wire, which she sells
for the actual cost of the mate-
rial, 4 for 10 cents.
The Junior Red Cross, under
the direction of little Miss
mie Bittner, assisted by Mis
Mildred Baumgarten, will make
au effort to respond to the appeal
of the Salvation Army for
funds. This band of brave men
ind women has don^ such re-
markable work in France for our
boys, that it has received ex-
pressed recognition from Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretaries McAdoo
and Baker, Generals Pershing
and Haig, and many other lead-
ers of our own and our allies'
governments. In each war hut
or canteen the cooking is done
by the women of the Salvation
Arm.v and delivered to the men
in the trenches. "Mother" Bur-
diek, one of their ablest women,
has become world-famed for her
doughnuts, pies, hot coffee and
coaco, always ready for the
weary, hungry wounded men.
They go to her and her band
of women often more weary,
more heartsick than they have
ever been before in their lives.
They are always welcomed with
good cheer. Not only do they
find food and rest, but friend-
ship, music, books, magazines,
and writing material. Needles
and thread are there with deft
fingers to replace the missing
buttons, repair the rent garment
or worn sock. What is it worth,
do you think, to your boy, back
from the fighting, the awful con-
ditions of the trenches, for a
brief respite in this haven?
Tell the Junior Red Cross
about what it is worth to you.
Thirty members of the class of
Elementary Hygiene and Home
Care of the Sick took their final
tests on last Friday. Certificates
recognized all over the United
States by physicians will be
given to these students as soon
as the examination papers have
been passed upon. The class
closed even more enthusiasti-
cally than it began and Schulen-
burg will find her women pre-
pared for any emergency that
illness or shortage of doctors
may bring. The financial report
of the President, Miss LillieSen-
gelmann, showed that the cost of
the course was a fraction less
than $4 per student. C.

ator Clark, County Commissioner
Robert Williams Charles Matula
and a delegation from Flatonia
on their last trip to Austin suc-
ceeded in getting additional state
and national aid amounting to a
little more- than $35,000, owing
to building the short cut-offs
through new territory. The at-
torney - general approved the
bonds and they have been sent
to Dallas to be passed on by the
board there which issues per-
mits to sell new bond issues. As
this road will be of great value
for government transportation
between the two big army towns,
they will no doubt permit the
bonds to be sold, and for the
same reason a permit will also
be issued for cars to haul ma-
terial.
After the selling permit is
issued, it will be necessary to
Dlace the bonds and then bids
can be solicited for the con-it ruc-
tion. It has been a big job under
present trying conditions, but
the members of the committee
and citizens in general have been
on the job all the time and met
every issue.
A Card
LaGrange, Tex., July 22, 1918.
To The Voters of Fayette
County:
As the campaign is drawing to
a close I feel that I should say a
word to you in behalf of my can-
didacy for County Judge. I want
to thank all who have so far loy-
ally supported me in my race
and I ask that you extend these
thanks to your and my friends.
I know that I have made my
campaign on live issues and on a
basis of Democratic principles
in the interest of all the people
of the county. In doing so I
have not solicited support on the
demerits of my opponents (if
there be any on their part) but
rather have pointed to my own
character, life, and qualifications.
I ask you for your support on
my own merits as a man among
men with a knowledge to deter-
mine between right and wrong
and with no ill feeling toward
any one, but with utmost respect
to every one. Feeling sure of
my election I submit myself to
the voters of Fayette County on
July 27th.
If the people approve of my ef-
fort which I have made in then*
behalf I promise now that I sb^ll
with courage and conviction
faithfully discharge according to
law the trust so honorably be-
stowed upon me to the end that
the best interests and welfare of
the people may be observed. I
hope and trust that the voters of
Payette County will consider
well my candidacy and the poli-
cies In County Government
which I advocate and by your co-
operation seek to carry into ef-
fect. I hope in casting your
ballot you will vote without in-
fluence as your conscience may
dictate. I ask that those who
have supported me so far will con-
tinue their efforts in my behalf
to the end so as to assure my
election in the primary next Sat-
urday of which I shall be ever
appreciative.
Very respectfully,
44-lt < A. W. Kollatt.

A lady writing in from Route
2 and who has loved ones buried
in the city cemetery, gives vent
to her grief caused by the work
of vandals out there. She writes
that the flowers, and vaces
pitchers in which are flowers
which she places on the graves
are carried away and she is
afraid-that their wicked work
will not stop here. Cannot
some move be made to place
these villains where they belong
—behind the bars?
