Softball interest has waned
considerably. The reason is
hard to determine. Perhaps we
are too lazy to put forth any
energy.
The Brewers staged a hit-
ting spectacle at Victoria Sun-
day when they downed the
League Leading team by the
score of 10 to 1. Those of you
who missed the game missed a
dandy.
This coming Sunday Gon-
zales will play the Brewers
here at Welhausen field. Let’s
all turn out and show the boys
that we really appreciate their
efforts—and are boosting for
them to get into the playoff—
and then to win the pennant!
“House maids knee,” is usual-
ly an ailment of the weaker
sex, brought on by excessive
use of the broom, mop and other
household work. If you think
this a sissy job ask Grandpappy
Pohler (Uncle Sams Postal
Employee) if he knows any-
thing about house work, after
his wife has been away a-learn-
ing and left him alone to get
his three hots a day by him self.
He should be especially good at
picking water up from the floor
with a mop. Was there any
water in your house the other
day after the storm Grandpap-
py? _
This Charlie Strauss looks
good on first base. His timely
hits have kept the team in the
running.
. WILLIAM ZAPPE HONORED
WITH BARBECUE SUPPER
The Zappe Ranch near Gon- j
zales afforded the setting for!
another delightful informal j
gathering Thursday evening j
when Mrs. William Zappe and j
Mr. and Mrs. William Zappe, j
\Jr., entertained a group of!
'friends surprising Mr. William1
I Zappe on his birthday anniver- j
I sary.
I In a colorful outdoor setting
| a delicious supper of mutton
barbecue, potato salad and beer
was served from a long table
centered with a huge basket of
wild flowers. Hurricane lamps
provided light.
Those who shared the pleas-
ures of the evening were: Mr.
and Mrs. E. A. Zappe, Mr. and
Mrs. Max L. Wolters, Mr. and

of Moulton, Mr. and Mrs. Der-
wood Selman of Gonzales, Mr.
and Mrs. John Braden of Hoch-
heim, the honoree and the hosts.
GEMS OF THOUGHT
BENEVOLENCE
To feel much for others, and
little for ourselves; to restrain
our selfish, and exercise our
benevolent affections, constitu-
tes the perfection of human na-
ture.—Adam Smith.
Benevolent feeling ennobles
the most trifling actions. —
Thackeray.
The place of Charity, like
that of God, is everywhere. —
Quarles.
Sweeter than the balm of
Gilead, richer than the dia-
monds of Golconda, dear as the
friendship of those we love, are
justice, fraternity, and Chris-
tian charity.—Mary Baker Ed-
dy. _
Do not wait for extraordinary
circumstances to do good act-
ions: try to use ordinary sit-
u ations.—Richter.
Recent guests in the Peck
Welhausen home who also vis-
ited Miss Clara Welhausen in
the local hospital were: Ru-
dolph Welhausen, Mrs. Valasca
Reed, Mrs. Ben Welhausen of
Kingsville; Miss Loris Welhau-
sen of Corpus Christi; Jack
Welhausen of Hondo, Mr. and
Mrs. Edmund Jaeggli of San
Antonio and George Reed of
Houston.
A. J. Chumchal, Davis Picha
and Robert Jurica were busi-
ness visitors to El Campo Sun-
day of last week.
Mrs. R. H. Hopper and son
Richard Lee left for their home
in Galveston Sunday after
spending a month’s vacation
with her parents Mr. and Mrs.
F. W. Picha and family. Ser-
geant Hopper who has spent
his three weeks furlough here
also left last Thursday to his
duties. They came especially to
make the acquaintance of their
new little nephew Buford
David, the little son of Mr. and
Mrs. R. Jurica.
SENIOR LUTHER LEAGUE
The Senior Luther League
had a meeting Thursday, Aug.
7 at 8 p. m.
The devotional was opened
with a song. The lesson was
read by Mrs. Elton Zander, and
a psalm was read by Edgar
Bohmann.
The meeting was called to
order and the roll was called,
followed by the reading of the
minutes.
A “42” party for the public
was discussed and it was decid-
ed to have the party on the
night of August 22. An admis-
sion of 15c a ticket or two for
25c was planned.
The meeting closed with the
Lord’s Prayer.
SLEEPERS WEST, a thrilling
melodrama, featuring Lloyd No
lan, Lynn Bari, Mary Beth
Hughes. Palace Theatre, Tues-
day and Wednesday.
Mr. George Martin of San
Antonio was a business visitor
to Shiner Wednesday and Thurs
day and while here stayed with
Mr. and Mrs. William Zappe.
LIGHTNING KILLS TWO
MULES; BURNS HAY
STACK NEAR ENGLE
Nearly every small village in
Texas has some sort of school
football team. Shiner has none.
What is the matter,
Losing your grip?
Red?
There has been plenty of re-
joicing in town since the open-
ing of school was postponed one
week.
Well, Johnnie seems to
under control again.
John J. Novak, who lives
about two miles west of Engle,
lost two good mules when light-
ning struck them during the
rain storm last Tuesday after-
noon. A strange feature about
the lightning was that four
mules belonging to Mr. Novak
were in their stalls. All the
mules were standing in line
and when the lightning hit, it
killed the two mules on the
outside and the two standing
in the middle were not harmed
in any manner. Mr. Novak suf-
fered no other damage.
A hay stack on the farm of
Mrs. Frank Bednarek was also
hit, but the fire was extin-
guished with the loss of only
about half of the stack.-Schu-
lenburg Sticker.
It is a pity that Shiner does
t have sufficient funds to
build the Agriculture Building
that we need. The N. Y. A. has
promised the labor and super-
vision, I’m told, if we can raise
the twenty five hundred dol-
lars. This would make an ideal j
gift to the community from
some one.
FROM THE HEART OF
A LITTLE GIRL
Charity is never lost: it may
meet with ingratitude, or be of
no service to those on whom it
was bestowed, yet it ever does
a work of beauty and grace up-
on the heart of the giver.* —
Middleton.
Pvt. Lewis Breithaupt has
been visiting his parents the
last few week ends. He has
been transferred to Leesville,
Louisiana and will be stationed
there for the next two months.
Louis Trautwein, John G.
Hollmann, Theo. Rogge, John
F. Kasper, Emil Buske and
Arno Wagener attended the
15th district cotton Ginners
Convention in La Grange Mon-
day.

Mr. and Mrs. Ferd Guettner
and Miss Mildred, Mrs. Ervin
Roeder and Miss Irene Bleier
returned last Monday from a
trip to Orange Grove and
Runge. They report the crops
in that section, only in fair
shape.
Mr. E. J. Gerdes and Pat
Frank of Victoria spent a few
hours Thursday with Mr. and
Mrs. E. L. Balusek. _

Daddy, if you know we’re
hungry,
Know that we are very poor,
It must break your heart in
Heaven
’Cause you never did insure.
Mamma wonders why you
didn’t
Save the dimes you threw
away:
But you felt too strong and
healthy
For insurance, people say.
You were taken without warn-
ing,
Leaving us to fight alone:
You’d have taken out insurance,
Daddy, if you’d only known!
’Twasn’t that you didn’t love us
I recall how dear you were;
But your little girl must suffer
’Cause you failed to save for
her!
i'
Mamma just can’t make the liv-
ing!
She is wearing out, she said!
I shall have to miss some school
ing
For the sake of daily bread.
When she’s gone I guess they’ll
take me
To a place of charity
To be clothed and fed, but Dad-
dy,
It can ne’er be home to me.
\
Mary’s Daddy left insurance,
And their home will still be
theirs.
They’re not hungry. Sometimes
Mary
Gives me cast-off clothes she
wears.
They don’t have to take in
sewing,
Mary’s Mamma doesn’t cry,
For her Daddy left insurance.
But you didn’t, Daddy-Why?
