FIRE DEPARTMENT
WINS OVER SARCO
The Refugio Volunteer Fire De-1
partment will play the Woodsboro
second team Sunday. The game will
bo called at 3 o’clock at the Ryals
Lease.
> *
The Volunteer Fire Department,
Refugio’s only Caucasian representa-
tive in the baseball world, took the
Sarco team into camp Sunday to the
tune of 21 to 13. For the most part
it whs a, battle between the Hausmann
family and the Perkins family, with
the Hausmanns geting the best of the
fray. For the fire boys Alvin Haus-
V nann pitched and Emil Hausmann- did
' the catching, while Sarco’s pitcher was
N. Perkins and J. Perkins was the
catcher.
The game was played on the Ryals
Lease, south of town, and was well
attended.
Sjarco was the first to score, maybe
because they were the first to go to
bat, getting three runs in their half of
the first inning. But the Fire Fight-
ers came right back and tied the
score in their half of the first. In the
second Sarco put* one run across, and
• Refugio retaliated by marking up two.
In the third each team scored one
run. Refugio took the fourth round,
getting across four rims to Sarco’s
nothing, but Sarco came back in the
fifth to score a couple and hold the
Firemen to a goose egg.
Refugio cut loose again in the sixth
inning with two runs, while Sarco
went scoreless. In the seventh Sarco
got four runs to Refugio’s two, hut
the Firemen came back in the eighth
with seven runs to Sarco’s nothing.
Sarco made a whirlwind finish,
scoring three runs in the ninth, but
it was too late, for the Fire Depart-
ment had the game sewed up in the
bag.
Alvin Hausmann pitched the full
nine innings for the Firemen.
Milton Eoff took Harding’s place in
center fi^ld after the game began and
did some spectacular work. His first
chance was a difficult fly ball, which
he handled perfectly. M ilkinson was
especially good on the bases, scoring
three runs in one innilig. He ran for
the pitcher.
The complete lineup for last Sun-
day’s game was as follows:

Boy Receives Broken
Hip Bones in Fail
The little 6-year-old sou of Santa
Ana Castillo, whose parents reside on
the Fox ranch near Blanconia, had
the misfortune to fall and break his
thigh last week. He was brought to
the Refugio Hospital here, where his
broken leg was splinted and dressed,
and this week his injury was treated
by the use of a peculiar apparatus
used much in the late war, which re-
duces a fractured bone perfectly, as-
suring a sound leg and great comfort.
The child’s father was recent a pa-
tient at the Refugio Hospital, having-
been trampled by a horse, but is al-
most entirely recovered at tins time.
Refugio County Honors Her
Dead at Memorial Services
Million Demonstration
Is Goal of Chevrolet
<r -
A national demonstration campaign,
with a goal of one million demonstra-
tions during the month, has been map-
ped out for June by the Chevrolet
Motor Company.
The campaign is in line with Chev-
rolet’s previously expressed opinion
that the potential buying capacity of
the country is unimpaired and requires
only intensive sales effort to develop
a satisfactory volume, according to H.
j. Klingler, vice president and general
sale i manager.
The past four months for which reg-
istration figures are complete show
that Chevrolet sixes have led the do-
mestic passenger car market.
During the month of June every one
of the 35,000 Chevrolet dealers, sales
managers and salesmen will he re-
quired to fill an assigned quota of
demonstrations, appraisals and sales.
The campaign is unique in that the
objective is directly aimed at increased
demonstrations, and that special rec-
ognition will he given salesmen who
fill their demonstration quota.
During the month the campaign will
be strongly supported by dealer win-
dow displays, campaign buttons, wind-
shield stickers, special advertising lit-
erature and helpful guidance from the
factory.
"Time and experience have proven
that sales are made directly in pro-
portion to the number of convincing
demonstrations and this fact was never
more true than in the case of the 1031
Chevrolet car. The smooth six cylin-
der power of this car, together with
its beauty of line and wide range of
selection makes it unquestionably the
great American value of the year,"
Mr. Klinger said.
AN APPRECIATION.
Having sold the Frances Mae Beau-
ty Parlor to Miss Alma Dunbar, we
take this means to thank our custom-
ers for their generous patronage dur-
ing the past three years. The ill
health of Miss Jessie Huddleston, one
of the proprietors, has made the sale
necessary, and it is duly on this 'ac-
count, that we give up the business..
Again we wish to thank every one
for their kind treatment and patron-
age. It has been a pleasure to serve
you, and we respectfully task a con-
tinuance of that trade for the Frances
Mae Beauty Shop.
THELMA HEARD,
JESSIE HUDDLESTON.
Refugio paused last Saturday to
honor her dead.
The Woodmen of the World and
the American Legion decorated the
graves of comrades who have gone
before, and many were the beautiful
wreaths and bouquets of flowers do-
nated by Refugio people from their
flower gardens that were placed on
the graves.
The graves of ex-service men that
were decorated were those of an Amer-
ican, a Mexican and a Negro. The
same service was held for each and
the same generous quantity of beau-
tiful flowers placed on each grave. A
bronze marker was placed at the head
of each grave. The small bronze tab-
let, which is to permanently mark
the grave as that of a World War vet-
eran, was surmounted with a small
American flag.
The white cemetery was the first, vis-
ited, where, after a few words by
Commander Joe C. Heard, Vice Com-
mander T. J. Strong said a prayer
and County Judge James A. Steele
made a short address stating the pur-
poses of Decoration Day. Then taps
were sounded and the American Le-
gion members left for the colored cem-
etery, leaving the Woodmen of the
World to carry out their services.
At the Negro cemetery the same
service as that iat the white cemetery
was carried out. IL. D. Carpenter,
commander of the Woodsboro post of
the American Legion, made a brief but
impressive talk. Among other tilings
Mr. Carpenter explained the Legion
plan to make May 30 tlie day to be
observed by all tlie States of the Un-
ion as Decoration Day, instead of tlie
custom of different States observing
different days.
Mr. Carpenter also stated that the
fact that the man whose memory they
were gathered to commemorate was of
a different color made no difference,
as all had suffered the same hard-
ships and fought under the same flag.
Again taps were sounded and those
who had gathered to witness the serv-
ice dispersed.
Many members of the Woodsboro
post, were present and took part in the
services, Among them were Mr. and
Mrs. H. D. Carpenter, IL. W. Klein,
Louis Winters, Charley Zarsky and
Mr. Schlabach.
Mrs. Carpenter sold poppies, and
did a good job of it. Had not she
ran out of flowers every coat lapel
in Refugio jvould have been decorated.
The proceeds from poppy sales go to
disabled World War veterans.
MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES ‘
AT TIVOLI AND AUSTWELL
part in the World War, and to those
other buddies of ours who have since
died.
We all know what a horrible thing
war is and that the suffering due to
war is not over with the end of the
war. We see examples of this every
day in thousaids of ex-service men
throughout the country in the differ-
ent hospitals, who are broken in mind
and body and doomed to a life of hope-
less invalidism or crippled. Illness
and disease have in all wars taken a
greater toll of life than bullets. Not
alone do these men suffer, but their
families also as a consequence.
If a man served his country during
the war with any of our armed forces,
he did his patriotic duty regardless of
whether his service was on land or
Water; in this country or on foreign
soil. When he enlisted he did his
duty. After that it was not a matter
of choice, but an obedience to orders
as to where he served.
People are prone to forget as time
goes on. A hero is a hero for only
a short time, and then he is forgotten.
We do not talk about tlie war any
more, but we must not forget those
men who gave their lives for their
country. It is not, fair to them. These
men to whom we pay honor today are
heroes. They gave their all for their
country, and it is for this purpose that
Decoration Day was inaugurated so
that we may never forget that they
have done tlieir country honor.
The American Legion was organized
in Paris after the World War by vet-
erans of tlie war to perpetuate the
ideals, associations and friendships
formed during the war, and as a far-
sighted means of meeting just such
conditions as we are today finding
among ex-service men and their de-
pendents.
Miss Dunbar Buys
Frances Mae Shop
The Frances Mae Beauty Shop has
been sold to Miss Alma Dunbar by
Mrs. Thelma Heard and Miss Jessie
Huddleston, who have operated the
beauty salon for more than three
years.
Miss Dunbar took charge Monday
morning of this week. She is a Mari-
nello graduate and bids fair to carry
on the business in the same efficient
manner as did her predecessors.
The Frances Mae has become a
household word among Refugio wom-
en, so long and satisfactorily has it
catered to their needs in the beauty
line. Being centrally located and al-
ways doing splendid work, it has
enjoyed a splendid trade. And
there is no doubt the present owner
will render the same kind of service
and enjoy the same abundant patron-
age.
A line of ladies’ ready-to-wear and
lingerie also carried by tlie Frances
Mae Shop lias been taken, over by Mrs.
I. IL. Dunbar, Miss Dunbar’s mother,
and will be run by her as a ladies’
shop.
Mrs. Heard and Miss Huddleston
are retiring from business on account
of the ill health of the latter, and
ask for their successors a continuation
of the trade they formerly enjoyed.

A large crowd was in attendance at
Tivoli Cemetery Saturday morning for
Memorial Day services. The threat-
ening clouds and occasional sprinkles
of rain kept many away. B. H. Bluhm
of Austwell was in charge.
The Rev. J. C. Bobb of Tivoli mlade
a short but very impressive talk and
offered a prayer. Two readings, “In
Flanders Fields” and “America’s An-
swer,” were touchingly rendered by
Mrs. J. C. Barber. Markers were
placed on each grave by W. J. Jolley
and our own Old Glory was placed to
wave over each grave by Master
George Edward Glover, young son of
Dr. and Mrs. G. E. Glover, who, look-
ing every inch a soldier in his Boy
Scout suit, stepped back after placing
the flags, and, with the veterans pres-
ent, gave a salute to the flag.
Taps were blown by Elwood Golilke.
Part of the crowd then went to the
J. H. Cook burial ground, which lies
near the bay in the McDowell pasture.
Here the same ceremonies were ob-
served, Dr. Glover making the address,
and the graves of Elry- and Reuben
Cook, sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Cook,
World War veterans, and MYs. Cook’s
father, Mr. Dubose, a Confederate vet-
eran, were decorated. Here again El-
wood Golilke sounded taps.
At Tivoli the graves of two World
War soldiers, A. E. Barber, son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Barber, and Woody
Strawn; two Confederate and one
Spanish-American War veteran were
decorated.
Following is Dr. Glover's address,
made at the Cook Cemetery : ,
Dr. Glover’s Address.
Citizens and comrades of the Ameri-
can Legion: We are here today to
show honor to those comrades who
paid the supreme sacrific for their
Our American Legion post in this
county is but newly organized and
this is our first Memorial Day serv-
ice. But this ceremony will be held
each succeeding year from now on,
and we Legionnaires must bear this in
mind, that each one of us may expect,
some day, to be shown such respects
as we are showing our departed com-
rade today. It is an honor to have
worn the uniform of our country. We
all know this, but only the ex-service
man can fully understand.
These two brothers we all knew. To
them we now pay our proper respects
and to their family our sympathy.
James Hilary Cook went overseas
with the 36th Division and returned
to the United Stated (with the 165th
Infantry, 42nd Division. He died Jan-
uary 23, 1020, after his discharge
from the army, as a reult of exposure
and disease contracted in line of duty
in the service.
Reuben Otho Cook served with
Headquarters Troop, 36th Division, at
Camp Bowie, contracted pneumonia
during the flu epidemic, and died at
Camp Bowie December 15, 1917.
The American Legion sent us mark-
ers for the graves of ex-service men.
The by-laws of tlie Legion, provide that
markers lie placed only on tlie graves
of men who died in the World War
service, or who at tlie time of their
death were members of tlie Legion.
Since Memorial Day lias been ob-
served since the close of the Civil
War, it is but fitting that we decorate
the graves of all ex-service men, in-
cluding veterans of the Civil and Span-
ish-Ameriean wars. It is the plan of
the two posts of this county to deco-
rate the graves of all ex-soldiers in
the county.
This is a national holiday of more
than passing significance to all of us.
It is being observed all over this coun-
try of ours, and we are glad to be
able to do our part today.

Porter Stabbed in Arm
Albert Green, negro porter at the
Refugio Hotel, received a severe
stab wound on his right arm in an
altercation Monday evening. He was
treated at the Refugio Hospital, where
it was found several blood vessels had
been severed, and lie was having a
severe hemorrhage. Dr. Strong oper-
ated at once, stoppying the flow
promptly, and apparently Green will
be none the worse, as he is doing nice-
ly at present
Martin McDonald Post, American
Legion, will meet at the Court House
tonight (Friday) at 8 o’clock. Ac-
cording to Commander Joe Heard,
there is much important business to
come before the Legion and a full at-
tendance of members is urgently re-
quested.
The Fourth of July celebration
which the post decided to put on has
been hanging fire, and it is the pur-
pose of the Legion to inject some real
pep into the plans at this meeting.
Mr. Heard says definite plains will
be made at this meeting and the ball
started rolling if the meeting has to
last all night.
Another thing that is to come before
tlie meeting is tlie organization of an
auxiliary to tlie local post, and mem-
bers are asked to bring tlieir wives,
mothers and sisters, or any one else
eligible to Legion Auxiliary member-
ship, with them to the meeting to-
night.
Ground has been secured for the
Fourth celebration just east of town.
It is on the J. F. B. Heard property
on the old Woodsboro Road, and its
use has been donated by the owner.
Legion members are enthusiastic and
determined to make the Fourth cele-
bration a go. Some of the things to
be provided are bronco busting, a bar-
becue, athletic events and many other
features to entertain the visitors. The
day is to be climaxed by a dance at
the Refugio Auditorium on the night
of the Fourth, which will be managed
by Messrs. Jeter and White. And
: every one who attends their dances at
tlie Auditorium knows wliat this means
in the way of a dance.

Contract was to have been let this
week by the- Central Power and Light
Company for the erection of a retail
ice station in Refugio. Plans have
been approved, bids are all in and
construction work on the building will
be begun immediately after , the letting,
ox the contract.
The building is to be located on
Purisimo Street, e;ast of and next to
the First National Bank. It will be
13.S feet wide by 28 feet long and one-
story high. a ,
Ordinarily the building- of an ice
station would not arouse much civic
pride, but the kind that is to be erect-
ed by the Central Power and Light
Company will be a thing of beauty, ac-
cording to Local Manager E. J. Free-
man, and the plans and specifications
for the building.
The building is to have concrete
foundations and floor slabs, steel and
cork roof construction, brick walls,
face brick work, plaster partitions,
pitch and gravel roof, wood awnings
with copper roof, and cast stone trim.
The building will be painted tlie stand-
ard C. T. & L. colors, and will be
floodlighted by several powerful lights.
It is rumored that the building is
a neucieus for other buildings to be
erected here by the Central Power and
Light Company, the next one being an
office and display room.

prise Tuesday morning, having , re-
ceived an appointment as local sur-
geon for the Missouri Pacific Lines

tion, but promptly accepted tlie ap-
pointment by wire, and having had a
long and large experience as a rail-
road surgeon and examining official of

oughly familiar with the duties and
