CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE
Taken To Hospital
LeRoy Schaefer, of Schulenburg,
was brought to the hospital, Satur-
day night in the Reichert ambulance.
At a meeting of the School Board
Tuesday night, W. T. Kreuz was
elected president and L. W. Stolz,
vice-president. Selection of Superin-
tendent deferred for further study of
applications. Several teachers select-
ed, but not notified, pending further
action.
Rev. Paul P. Kaspar, priest in
charge of the Holy Rosary Catholic
church at Hostyn, reported to the
program committee locally, and also
to the Journal, that citizens of the
village of Hostyn, interested and wil-
ling to help, will have two decorated
floats in the proposed parade for the
Centennial Celebration, to be held
May 5.
Rev. Kasper states that one float
will depict the coming of the Czech
immigration to Fayette county, and
will bear witness to the fact that they
have been successful and have helped
to develop the county.
The other float will be historical
also, in that it will show Father Mul-
doon (after whom the village of Mul-

Sponsoring the popular “March of
Time" for the escond consecutive
year, Servel, Inc., will be “on the
air" again in 1938, according to The
United Gas Corporation, who receiv-
ed the information from Geo. S.
Jqnes, vice-president and general
, which
fact ures the Servel Electrolux
,;«-6peratcd refrigerator.
This outstanding program which
dramatize* news events featured in
the headlines of newspapers, will be
broadcast over an N.B.C. coast-to-
coast network for Thursday even-
ings, ending June 30.
“As those in this vicinity who
make a practice of listening to the
‘March of Time’ already know, the
broadcast consists of a graphic studio
presentation of outstanding headline
news events throughout the world as
they happen, and thus the program
is of paramount interest to everyone.”
A large company of actors assembled
in the studio of the National Broad-
casting Company enact scenes drama-
tizing these news events after scripts
have been prepared by experts in
radio broadcasting.
“So well done are the impersona-
tions of leading personalities in cur-
rent history, through simulation of
their voices and gestures, that all the
important news of the world is
brought to the fireside with a skill,
realism, and picturesqueness that
makes listeners feel that they are
actually present when the events por-
trayed take place. Kings and queens,
dictators, presidents, generals, prime
ministers and cabinet heads, leaders
in scientific thought, educators, and
others in the public eye throughout
the entire world become familiar to
those who t'.’ne in their radios when
this popular broadcast is on the air.
“Thus thousands upon thousands
of radio listeners find that an ideal
way to keep abreast of the world is
to listen to the ‘March of Time.’"

You’ve all1 heard the old story—
gag, some call it—about “once a man
and twice a child”—and have probably
tried to solve the puzzle. An oppor-
tunity was yours, Tuesday afternoon,
only you were not informed of the
privilege. If you promise not to tell
the story, we will give you a report
on what happened to R. E. Kruse, the
accommodating filling station opera-
tor on the corner—selling Magnolia
One of the most picturesque indi-
viduals to be seen in Austin is Col.
E. Walters who comes down from
Oklahoma occasionally to conduct the
auctions of oil and gas leases on Uni-
versity of Texas lands. He stands
several inches above six feet, weighs
perhaps 225 pounds and has a voice
that, on a clear day, probably would
carry better than two miles. His gold
watch chain has links ponderous
enough to hold a small log in place
and he is proud of an engraved gold
medal given him by Chief Bacon
Rind.
The Colonel hails from a town with
the almost unbelievably name of Ske-
dee and on the back of his business
card is a poetic gem entitled “Down
in Oklahoma” from which we quote:
“We are down in Oklahoma
Where you never have the blues,
Where the bandits steal the autos
And the marshals steal the booze;
“Where longhorns horn the hornets
And give leather breeches a boost,
Where they shoot men just for
pastime
And the chickens never roost;
“Where they always hang the jury;
Where they never hang a man;
If you call a man a liar,
You get home the best you can.”

(By Delwin H. Koopmann)
Coming from behind a 6-run lead,
the fighting La Grange Demons found
the batting range in the final four
stanzas, to trounce the Carmine Car-
dinals, 18 to 7, for their second
straight Washington County League
victory. Sunday’s victory put the De-
mons in a tie for first with Brenham,
each having won their first two
starts.
Blume’s brilliant relief pitching,
with the magnificent batting support
of the Demon’s shortfielder, Jobe,
pulled the game out of the fire. Blume
allowed only two hits, and struck out
seven in his 6 2/3 innings in the box.
Jobe slammed out a “blue darter"
single past first, a double, and a long
four-bagger over the centerfield wall,
in five trips. He also played the
shortfield position to perfection.
Carmine lost little time in getting
to Janak, starting Demon hurler,
scoring twice in the first stanza. Et-
zel led off with a double, and scored
when Voelkel rattled the boards in
left field with another double. Voel-
kel scored a moment later when Tiet-
jen singled through third base.
After a scoreless second stanza,
Carmine went on to chase Janak,
whose downfall was aided by four
Demon errors. Etzel led off, this time
singling past third base, Voelkel laid
down a bunt, and Janak threw wild
to first, allowing Etzel to reach third,
and Voelkel went on to second. T.
Wehring hit to third, Hajovsky tag-
ging Etzel and then throwing wild to
first, allowing Voelkel to score. Weh-
ring took second, and scored a min-
ute later when Werchan singled to
center. Werchan took second on the
throw to the plate, Ponfick walked,
and Arndt hit to first who fumbled,
and then threw wild to second, allow-
ing both Werchan and Ponfick to
score. Blume finally retired the side,
striking out both Tietjen and Bathe.
The Demons finally found the range
in the sixth inning, when they got to
Telshow, Carmine hurler imported
from Galveston, for six runs on three
hits. Hajovsky led off with a single
to rightfleld, and took second when
Janssen was hit by a pitched ball,
scoring a minute later when Kana
singled. Janssen scored on Otto's
single. Prause then hit to third, who
erred,' filling the bags. Telshow thfen
made a wild pitch, Kana scoring.
Rosenberg walked, filling the bags.
Jobe hit to first who erred, allowing
both Otto and Prause to score. Ro-
senberg scored on a wild pitch, tying
the score.
The locals came back in the sixth
for four more tallies, Janssen opening
with a single to center, took second
on a wfld pitch. Kana walked, and
both were advanced when Otto sacri-
ficed. Janssen scored when Prause
was thrown out, short to first. Ro-
senberg singled past short, scoring
Kana. Jobe then slapped
round-tripper over the <
wall, scoring Rosenberg ahead of him.
The Demons scored twice iff the
seventh on singles by Kana, Otto and
Jobe’s third hit, a smashing double
down the rightfield foul line, and then
made their final tally in the eighth
without getting a hit. Carmine’s
youthful Wehring walking three and
hitting one batsman.
Next Sunday the Demons entertain
the strong Burton club, at Fair Park,
in the third game of the league sched-
ule, the game to start at 3:00 o’clock.

Caps—not the kind the baseball
crew wears but the kind they used
back in the old war days, and placed
on the little spout upon which the
flint lock trigger played when you
pressed underneath—that were not
under 40 years, and kept at home,
were brought to the station by Mr.
Kruse, Tuesday. Edwin Kulhanek,
the assistant, had never seen one of
the blamed caps and wanted to know
What they were, how they exploded,
and why.
What else? Well Daddy Krus4 got
down on his knees on the pavement,
placed one of the caps where he
could give it a gentle tap with a
wrench arid started to explain. He
failed to complete his explanation be-
fore he brought the wrench down and
—kerpow! He jerked his left hand
back and said something about damn-
ing the creek at the upper end and
started to feel of his left hand.
Nothing remained for him to do
but to go to the office of the doctor
and learn again, the old warning, to
be careful. The doctor cut here, he
cut there, and finally after near to
an hour, found the offending sliver of
brass and extricated it from the
hand. Now Dad Kruse carries the
hand, in a nice white bandage—don’t
know how long it will remain so—■
and whenever someone asks him what
is the reason, he snorts and says:
“Lion bit me.” That provokes more
questions, and taxes Dad’s patience.
Remember, one day down on the
corner, 50 years ago, one of the fam-
iliar figures about town, used to tell
us about there “still being much fire
in the old frame?" Well, gun caps
seem to remain young, even after 40
years. While the man over 40 for-
gets, and tries to be young.
