SHINER GAZETTE, SHINER, TEXAS
RAIN AND HAIL IN
SHINER COMMUNITY
GUADALUPE FIREMEN’S
ASS’N. TO HOLD
CONVENTION
Last Wednesday night, rain
accompanied by some hail, fell
in the Shiner and surrounding
community. The hail, which
were few and widely scattered
did not cause much damage as
far as we could learn.
Last Sunday night, rain, ac-
companied by heavy lightning
and thunder fell here. Moulton
and other surrounding com-
munities report a heavy down-
pour.
MANN RULES BARBER
PRICE BILL INVALID
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
Attorney General Gerald C.
Mann said in an opinion Friday
a bill authorizing the state
board of barber examiners to
fix minimum prices for barber
work was invalid.
He declared the proposal by
Senator J. Franklin Spears of
San Antonio was unconstitut-
ional because there was no dis-
cernible substantial and logic
relation between the means
adopted by the bill and the
legitimate objects of protection
or improvement of public health
safety, morals or general wel-
fare.
The opinion was sought by
Senator L. J. Sulak of La-
Grange, who is chairman of the
senate public health committee.
ROBERT JACKSON GETS
25 YEARS FOR 5c DEBT
Robert Jackson, col., who was
indicted by the grand jury on
murder charges growing out of
the death of Albert Johnson,
Sweet Home negro, who was
fatally stabbed the night of
March 1 and died March 23,
confessed to the crime, plead-
ed guilty, and was sentenced
to 25 years in the penitentiary
in district court Monday morn-
ing. The argument that lead to
his arrest was said to have been
•over a five cent debt between
the two. A special venire of 60
men was called and the jury
selected from these. Judge C.
L. Stavinoha defended the
case.

The 10th Semi-Annual con-
vention of the Guadalupe Fire-
men’s Association, of which
the Shiner Fire Department is
a member, will be held Sun-
day, April 20, in Smithville,
Texas. The spacious American
Legion Hall will be the meet-
ing place, with a good program,
luncheon and entertainment, fol
lowed by firemen’s races and a
dutch lunch. These will not only
be attended by firemen but city
officials, fire marshals and
others interested persons and
visitors.
Principal program subjects
are: “Adopting and Enforcing a
Building Code,” by a member
of New Braunfels Fire Depart-
ment; “Do Booster Truck Rec-
ords Warrant a Better Credit?”
by Gonzales Fire Department;
“Electrical and Gas Explosion
Hazards Demonstration” by J.
M. Kintz, U. S. Bureau of
Mines, Dallas; “Incendiary and
Explosive Bombs” by Prof. H.
R. Brayton, A. & M. Firemen’s
Training School.
In a letter accompanying a
unique poster and program,
Secretary Louis H. Scholl, Gon-
zales, a fireman for more than
35 years, stated that fire de-
partments owe to their com-
munities keeping up-to-the-
minute in efficiency, and that
it is this sort of mixing up
with the other fellow that a lot
of good comes out of attending
these conventions. Fire depart-
ments that once start going
keep right on coming and get
a kick out of it; and talk about
going to the next convention
long before the time.
The main purpose of them
sticking together as they do,
Mr. Scholl added, is because
we never know when we may
have to call on the other fel-
low for help, and also their
wanting to help others at any
time. We saw that in the big
New Braunfels theatre build-
ing fire a short time ago. Chief
Staats was in need of one more
pumper and called on Seguin,
who responded immediately
But at the same time San An-
tonio and San Marcos came
with theirs without being ask-
ed. Besides, firemen like to
get together to learn from each
other and keep up to the times
in everything pertaining to the
fire prevention and fire fight-
ing game. But the biggest thing
of all is that closer formation
of fine friendship between fire-
men.

sociation takes in 34 towns

Girls Arc Advised To
Build-Up For Relief
Lack of knowledge causes many
a weak, undernourished girl a lot
of suffering!
Many others, however, know how
the headaches, nervousness, cramp-
like pain of functional dysmenorrhea
due to malnutrition are helped
by the proper use of CARDUI.
Some take it a few days before
and during “the time,” to help ease
periodic distress. But CARDUI’S
principal use is to help increase
appetite; stimulate the flow of
gastric juice; so aid digestion,
assist in building up physical re-
sistance and thus help reduce peri-
odical distress. Women have used
CARDUI for over 50 years.

He’s way down in the dumps—been that way for months
—ever since he started working for us.
Yes, our bookkeeper’s all upset about the low prices and
the high quality of our usedrcai^. ^
“You could make some dollars and cents out of used
cars,” he moans, “if you didn’t give so much for so little.”
But, we’re not worried—for the simple reason that we
don’t try to make a profit on our used cars. We dol make
lots of friends and futurebuyers of new cars, gas, oil, anti-
freeze and accessories from purchases of our used cars.
And frankly, we make a profit on each new car we sell.
We have to, to stay in business.
