SHINER GAZETTE
Thursday night, to
house, the Commercial Club by
unanimous vote went on record
to go after a road bond issue.
Discussion of same was animated
and enthusiastic. A committee
of 5 was appointed by Pres. M.
sists of M. E. Wolters, chairman;
C. B. Welhausen, J. C. Blohm,
Ed Herder and E. C. M rsebur-
ger. Vocational Instructor F. A.
Lloyd urged the purchase of a
car load of calcium arsenate to
be ready for insect poisoning of
cotton. Each farmer was urged
to place his order now for what
they need. If ordered at once a
car load can be secure^ at 6£ cts.
a lb. f. o. b. Shiner. The farmers
are urged to get in touch with
Mr. Lloyd at once. At this meet-
ing, Sect. Ponton read the report
of all Fair committees as ap-
pointed by the Fair Association.
These committees are published
elsewhere and are subject to
change and additions.

L. M. Roeder For Re-
election
Mr. Roeder requests the Ga-
zette to announce him for re-
election to the office of Public
Weigher of Precinct 3, Lavaca
County, subject to the Democra-
tic Primary in July. Mr. Roeder
has proven himself to be a man
of energy and has proven com-
petent in the satisfactory dis-
charge of all duties assigned him.
He speaks three languages and
the fact that he totaled 4798 bales
of cotton in his first season of
public weighing attests to his
popularity with the voters of Pre-
cicct 3. He asks for your vote and
if r -ek cted he promises the
public the best possible service.
Announces For Re-election
Here’s a planter that is especially
suited to your needs—just the type
of planter for cotton or corn. It
does effective work on beds, level
land, or in deep water furrows.
JOHN BEEBE No.-109
Cotton ait# Plantes?
The John Deere saw-tooth type steel
picker whc'l insures accurate planting of
even the lintiest seeds. Sometimes it is
desirable to plant wet cotton seed—this
exclusive John Deere device will handle
wet seed accurately where all other types
of cotton feeds fail. Trash in the hop-
per is dropped with the seecE—it does
not accumulate to cause trouble and loss
of accuracy.
Plates can be fur-
nished for planting a
big variety of Eeed.
Shovel opsner is
double pointed and
reversible.
Lifting lever is con-
veniently located and
the lift is easy.
Shovels can be
cleared of trash with-
out lifting the sweep
or throwing the
planter out of gear.
New type adjust-
able press wheel can
be used as open or
solid wheel. Auto-
matic, non-clogging
scraper.
Fertilizer attach-
ment can be furnish-
ed.
The 109 plants corn just as effectively
as it plants cotton. Remove cotton
spider and insert proper com plate and
corn cut-off, same as used on planters
so popular in corn belt.

MRS. RUDY VALENTA DEAD
Mrs. Rudy Valenta was born
m Shiner, Texas, Jan. 21, 1892,
was married to Rudy Valenta
Jr.^ May 48, 1921. She lived in
Shiner all her life except two
years, living two years in Elena,
Texas, and Memphis, Tenn.
She professed faith in Christ
and joined the Methodist church
m 1918. She was teacher of a
Sunday school class, secretary-
tieasurer of the Methodist Ladies
Aid. She belonged to the Py-
thian Sisters, was a member of
the Eastern Star, being worthy
matron of the Eastern Star at
the time of her death.
She leaves to mourn her loss,
her husband Rudy Valenta Jr.,
an infant daughter, her mother
Mrs. S. J. Holchak, one sister
and six brothers.
She lived a faithful Christian
life until the day of her death
which occurred on the 3rd day
of March, 1928.
Sister Valenta was one of
God s angel’s of mercy, always
doing those things that were
helpful to those about her and
that were pleasing to God. She
was a true helpmate to her hus-
band. She was one of those good
women who was always ready to
| administer to those who were in
| distress or in trouble.
The grace of humility was one
of the graces that beautified her
life. Also the grace of service
for her master beautified her
life. She was always ready to
render service to her Lord and
the church when called upon*
She loved the church and the
services of the church. She loved
her Sunday school and was one
of our most active workers. And
you who have known this good
Ionian, have known her beauti-
ful, cheerful and graceful life—
how she lived and walked
among those about her, and how,
with tenderness, she ministered
to those who were sick and in
distress. You think of all those
things as she lived them out in
this^ world and think of her as
; having put off this mortal flesh
i and is at home with God. She
