The great drive of raising
$915,500 in Fayette County for
the purchase "Back The Attack"
Wiar Bonds will open on Thurs-
day of next week. The amount is
two times as much as the last
drive and every person living in
town or on the farm is expected
to do . his part, which means buy
all the bonds he or she possibly
can. Workers will be needed to
contact the general public and ask
and if necessary explain why
bonds must be bought. Yes, the
war situation now looks better to
■us than ever before, but it is now
time to really get out and push
with all our might. Buying war
bonds now is just like farming.
You plant a cotton crop, chop and
plow it until you can see that you
have raised a good Crop. You do
not stop then, do you? No, you
get in the field and pick as hard
as you can to save the bolls from
storm or rain damage. Winning
the war is just like that
cotton cfop. We can see where
we are doing better in the war,
but it will not be over before our
boys march into Berlin and To-
kyo. Neither is the cotton crop
over until you have the cotton
picked, ginned and the money in
the bank. That is victory.
Schools To Open
Tuesday. Sept. 7th

Our schools will open on Tues-
day, September 7. The faculties
of the schools are ready to go
and every single parent should
see that those .of the children
who are of school age are in at-1
tendance. Another day is coming,
and the children of today will
face the greatest problems that
our country has ever seen. Our
boys who are now located in
distant lands will come back with
an education and changes will
be made. Their ideas will be dif-
ferent. and their lives will not
be patterned on the same ba-
.sjp as when they lived here be-
fore. Those boys who return will
li^ve seen different lands and
customs. They will have learned
bow the peoples of other lands
live and will want even greater
improvements than we can now
think of. Aviation will make
greater improvements than pos-
sibly any' ether phase of Amer-
ican industry. New York will be
only 12 hours away from Schul-
enburg. London will be only 2 or
3 days from Schulenburg. A high-
way will be open to Alaska and
also to South America. Freight
and express will be carried by
planes. A great change is ex-
pected in the construction of
homes. New and super highways
will be built. Changes will be
made in government, both city
and federal. People will think
deeper and look further ahead.
These things are mentioned, be-
cause we must realize that our
children will have to have anj
education to stay up with a fast)
moving world. The days of thel
old expression "What is goodj
enough for me is good enough i
for my children," will not% apply
in the world which will come out
of this war. By that statement
It is not meant that our child-!
ren cannot get a lot of good
teachings from parents, because
that would be the wrong idea.
We should endeavor to give the
children the knowledge that wo
through hard experience
but also give them all of the ad-
ditional knowledge that they can
get in other places. School is one
of those places. Good books is
another. You are urged to send
; your children to school if it is
st all possible. During this period
of war it may seem that it is
a hardship for you to do so
when there is So much work at
home, but usually some way can
be worked out.
The Schulenburg school will
open on Tuesday, Sept. 7th. At
the high school the assembly
program will take place in the
Gym at 9 a. m. It is planned to
have the program open with
the orchestra rendering several
selections. Mr. Stendebach will
make the announcements and
also will make a short talk. The
teachers will be introduced after
which the students will be assign-
ed their work. The general public
is invited to the opening of the
school semester.
Following the dismissal of as-
sembly all 8th grade and high
school students will remain in the
gym to work out their classes
and asssignments. All grade stu-
dents through the 7th grade will
go to the main building where
they will meet with their teach-
ers. All students who have not
previously enrolled in the school
will see Mr. Stendebach for
classification and enrollment.
All books and lockers will be
issued in the High School build-
ing. Locker fees will remain as
in other years, 50c and at the!
end of the school year 25c will'
be refunded when you turn in
the locker key. The science fee'
of_$1.00 will be charged as usual. J
Students taking commercial workj
will pay a fee of $2.00 per year j
and all 8th grade and high school \
students will pay a $1.00 library I
fee.
Mr. Stendebach stated that he
was well pleased with the teach-
er situation and that he felt sure
that the standards of the schoolj
would be maintained. For thej
first time in a number of years j
High School Spanish would be,
taught this year if there is a)
demand for it. He went on to say!
that the school buildings werej
now in good condition. Many of |
the walls and floors have beenj
worked over during the summer,
months and all other needed re-{
pairs made. During this past year'
a total of $2008.47 had been!
spent in improvements; one of,
which was a new roof for the j
main building. He stated that,
there was a balance of $497.15 in j
the State and County Available!
fund; $1,517.05 in the Local
Maintenance Fund and $4,920.74
in the Interest and Sinking fund.
All outstanding bills have been
paid and all other obligations met.
He stated that he was well
pleased with the financial end;
of school as over 97 percent of
all school taxes had been collect-
ed. .
Of recent date, Mr. Carl\ Mo-
rene who has been conducting
the music of the school had
received a Permanent Special
Musical Certificate and all stu-
dents who desire to take music,
can earn college entrance credit j
on the basis of 2 credits for 4j
years of music. ,Credit may also'
be earned toward high school j
graduation. |
Anticipating a very successful
new school year, Rev. leo

to be present and - parents too
are invited to attend this Mass
in order to begin the school term
with God's blessing befitting
every christian American who
prides himself to be on God's
side during these trying days
of uncertainty.
Immediately after Mass all
children will go to their respect-
ive class rooms where they shall
receive books, lists of materials
and instructions regarding pro-
cedures to be followed so that
the full time program may begin
the following day without delay.
Let us remind the little folks,
however, to make all necessary
preparations on Tuesday so that
no time is lost when the school!
tell rings Wednesday morning to
call them for earnest business,
full equipped with books, pencils, J
tablets, etc.
Father Goertz and the Sisters

very best the school is able to
furnish.

Prof. Shupack Moves
To Bedias, Texas
Prof. Chas. Shupack, who last
year was Princpal of the Mo-
ravia School, was a pleasant cal-
ler in our office Tuesday and
informed us that he had ac-
cepted the Superintendent's job
at the Bedias School, Bedias,
Texas, Grimes county. The Bedias
school is a 12-teacher school and
Prof. Shupack was here looking
for teachers to fill all vacancies
in the school. He stated that he
deeply regretted to leave Mora-
via, as he thoroughly enjoyed
working with the good people
of Moravia, however the Bedias
position was a much better pay-
ing position and he felt that in
the interest of his family he
should accept the new position.
Stores To Close
Monday
The store of Schulenburg will
observe Labor Day, next Mon-
day, September 6 by remaining
closed all day. It would be well
for housewives to buy an extra
supply of groceries to tide them
over for the two day period of
Sunday and Monday.
Cotton Ginning
Report
Up to about 4 o'clock on Wed-
nesday afternoon the four local
gins had ginned 2276 bales so
far in the 1943 season. Only 359
bales were ginned here in the
past week.
j It seems that ginning is slow-
ing down a great deal and that
before long the season will be
over.
Eggs Take Another
Advance
Again we see the smile as "the
farmers hear that eggs are now.
39c per dozen. The price jumped
from 37 to 39c on last Friday.
Produce men are under the im-
pression that still further ad-
vances will take place in the
rear future as eggs are getting
very scarce.

trop.

Schulenburg is known far and
wide for its famous beer drink-
ing but few of us here even
realize the amount that is con-
sumed. This week we were given
an idea of the amount sold dur-
ing the month of July. These
figures represent sales by local
distributors. Most of the beer was
sold here, however a small part
sent to Weimar, Halletta-
ville, Engle and Flatonia. There

! ternal Revenue will be at the
First National Bank at Schulen-
burg on Tuesday, September 7,
1943, to assist taxpayers in pre-
paring their estimated tax re-
turns. No charge will be made for
this service. The matter of filing
your income tax estimated re-
turn should be given immediate
attention, in order to avoid pen-
alty.
Taxpayers who filed income
tax returns for 1942 are receiving
forms and instructions for mak-
ing flheir declarations, even though
some of them will probably not
be required to make declarations.
The instructions recite the con-
ditions under which taxpayers are
required to make declarations.
Taxpayers requiring the assist-
ance of deputy collectors in
making their declarations should
he able to present the following
information:
1. Retained copy of your 1942
Income tax return.
2. Amount of Victory Tax
withheld if you are an employee.
3. Amount of Income and Vic-
tory Tax withheld if you are an
employee.
4. Itemized statement of ordi-
nary and necessary BUSINESS
expense if you are in business.
5. Amount of money you have
cctually paid on your 1942 In-
come Tax.
Note: The declaration must be
filed on or before September 15,
1943. However, if at least 80%
cf an individual's estimated
gross income is derived from
farming, he must file his declara-
tion on or before December 15,
1943.

Former Schulenburg
Youth In Air Service
I. J. Cernosek And
Myke Klein To Be
Sub-chairmen In
This Area
Meetings of town and com-
munity leaders for the purpose
of assuring the success of the
third war loan drive starting
September 9 have been announced
by Dr. A. H. Rebsch of La
Grange, new chairman of the
Fayette county war finance com-
mittee.
Dr. Rebsch, who was appoint-
ed head of the drive in thig
county at a meeting last week,
said that his first concern is
the perfection of a county-wide
organization and selection of
volunteer salesmen to take the
campaign to every nook and
cranny of the county.
Civic leaders of the various
towns will meet at La Grange
Thursday night, September 2,
and rural community leaders have
teen asked to attend a meeting
at the county seat Friday night,
September* 3, when details of the
drive will be explained to them
and instructions given as to or-
ganizing each community for the
campaign. Written notices were
mailed to all leaders the week-
end, asking them €o the meet-
ings. I. J. Cernosek and Myke
Klein were appointed as two
of the sub-chairmen in this
area.
Fayette county's quota for the
third war loan drive has been
set at $915,500—more than double
this county's second war loan
quota of $448,000.
"It's a big quota and it'll take
a lot of wot*:* to 'meet it," thfe
county chairman stated, "But to
give our fighting men the things
they need, we cannot afford to
fall down on this job."
As county chairman, Dr. Rebsch
will direct all bond and stamp
sales in Fayette county and is
authorized to name assistant
chairmen as needed. Already ap-
pointed by him is Chas. W.
Priebe of La Grange as publicity
director.
The war finance committee
combines the functions of what
were formerly known as the war
savings staff and victory fund
committee. It will administer all
war financing through non-bank
investors, including the day-to-
day sales of war savings stamps
and bonds under the payroll
deduction plan, as well as the
third war loan drive.

Cotton Ginning
Report
James Korenek enlisted in the
air corps at Barksdale Field in
Louisiana and passed his exams
as an aviation cadet. He re-
ceived his basic training at Shep-
pard Field, Texas, and at the
present time is an aviation stu-

tana, taking college training
prior to becoming a flying cadet.
After taking his college work he
will be sent to a pre-flight

His friends here and elsewhere
will be happy to learn what he
is doing and where he is.

No serviceman should have to
ask for a Christmas present, so
mail them early, said Ferd Her-
zik, postmaster, in announcing
that between the dates of Sept.
15 and Oct. 15, parcels may be
mailed to men overseas without a
written request from the soldier
to whom the parcel is going.
After Oct. 15, the army regula-
tion banning the shipment of
parcels except upon the request
cf men in the armed services^
will become effective again. This
also applies to the navy or ma-
rines.
Early mailing is necessary be-
cause many boys overseas are
frequently transferred from one!
location to another, which means j
that the mail must be forwarded, i
Great distance often must be|
covered before the mail reaches!
its destination. Then mail is
often delayed because reinforce-
ments, arms, munitions, medicine!
r.r.d foods must go first.
Mr. Herzik pointed out the
lules for mailing parcels:
The parcel must not exceed
five pounds and must be no more
than 15 inches long or 36 inches
in length and girth combined. It
should be marked "Christmas
Parcel."
Not more than one parcel may
be mailed in any one week to the
fame member of the armed for-
ces by or in behalf of the
same mailer.
Parcels must be well and
strongly packed in a container of
wood, metal or fiber board with
strong paper and card. It should
be easy to open for censorship.
Perishable goods are forbid-
den.
Inflammable goods, such as
lighter fluids or matches, or any
article that might damage the
mails, is also forbidden.
Gifts enclosed in glass should
be carefully protected and articles
with sharp points or edges such
as knives or razors must be
packaged so the edges will not
cut through the package.
