WE DO OUR PART
To Gar Subscribers, Pat rons
and Friends
Beginning with today’s issue
of the Gazette we are restoring
your home town paper to an
eight page edition. Our regular
4 pages of home news greets you
as usual. In addition we are giv
ing you a 3 column feature of
“News Review of Current Events
the World Over” and 2 columns
of “Washington Digest” which
will prove interesting with Con-
gress opening this week. Will
Rogers will be a regular column
with the New Year and also a
column from Arthur Brisbane.
A page of comics that our rural
readers enjoy and a page of cur-
rent miscellaneous articles.
Beginning next week our new
serial story “Mulberry Square”
will begin.
In addition the regular Maga-
zine section will greet you once
each month. The Gazette feels
the “new.deal” is on and with
this optimistic assurance the
former standard of efficiency is
resumed.
Miss*Selma Kempe came in
from Dallas for Christmas.
Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Mikes and
Janice Michna attended the K.
of C. New Year’s ball in San
Antonio.
Personals of holiday visitors
will be continued next week.
Kindly phone the office if you
visited out of town or if guests
were in your home.
Notwithstanding the fact that
every effort was made last week
to secure local copy and the of-
fice was open for the purpose of
handling same, the Gazette was
completely swamped Tuesday
forenoon with late copy. Same
will have to be handled in next
issue as it is impossi ble to set
same and have paper appear on
time.
Mrs. H. H. Striebeck suffered
a very unusual but painful ac-
cident New Year’s morning while
adjusting articles in a store
room. A pair of sheep shears
used in clipping the lawn, fell
from the nail which supported
them and cut a vein and nerve
in her right hand. In a few
hours the wound became so pain-
ful, a physician’s aid was sought
As a precaution, tetanous serum
was administered.
The J. B. Monroe home had a
reunion at the Yuletide honoring
the newly-weds of the family
circle, Mr. and Mrs. Claude
Fraser of Houston. Those com-
pleting the family circle were
Dr. and Mrs. D. C. Scheffler and
little daughter from Nordheim,
Mr. and Mrs. Boyce Ellison, Mr.
and Mrs, Dean Vogel and family.
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Seeliger
and family of Lockhart and C.
J. Monroe of Hull.

Through all the political ithods by, which the President
and social philosophy of j and his aides are attempting
Franklin D. Roosevelt runs j to restore the country to an
the distinct trace of a com- even economic keel. Among
mandment given two thousand
years ago to a self-seeking
and war-weary world —'‘Love
thy neighbor as thyself.” Men
may and do forget that com-
mand all too often. But it was
not uttered in vain in the long
ago, nor will our Presdient’s
repetition of it be in vain.
Men are inherently selfish, ’tis
true. Thousands of years of
striving to raise above the' le-
vel of the brute, ages of won-
dering about what lies beyond
this life, and the precepts of
all great teachers—the great-
est of whom was the Man of
Nazareth—have left their im-
print on the human mind and
heart.
And the words and deeds of
Franklin D. Ro'osevelt, whe-
ther or not they accomplish
all the ends he would have
them accomplish, will leave
engraved on the tablets of
time a fresh warning against
selfishness, a new lesson on
the necessity of living through
those most frequently heard
is that too much money is be-
ing sjDent on relief, civil and
public works. The cost to run
till February 15 is three and
a half billions.
The best defense of this ex-
penditure yet made by a mem-
ber of the official family at
Washington comes from the
Secretary of Commerce, Dan-
iel C. Roper. In effect, he says:
We are spending vast sums
that must be repaid. Three
and a half billions is a vast
sum. But, during the two years
of the World War we spent
18 billions. The three and a
half billions are being spent
to relieve suffering, to save
life, to construct public works
for the use of all the people.
And to prevent a civil war.
The 18 billions were spent for
a work of death and destruc-
tion—to inflict instead of re-
lieve suffering.
Summed up, we are paying
for a war without having it
Westhoff Man Says He Hides
$900 Here; Brought
To Cache
Cuero, Texas, Dee. 30.—Admitting"
his story ol" being" held up by two
bandits and left drugged near San
Antonio Friday night was a hoax,
Ervin Sehroeder, young- cashier of the
Home State Bank at Westhoff, late
Saturday afternoon confessed to De-
Witt County officers that he had
taken $900 from the bank vaults Fri-
day afternoon, and had hidden the
money in San Antonio.
An additional $2,000 missing" on the
first check-up was found in a seldom
used safe in the bank.
Young Sehroeder was taken to San
Antonio late Saturday afternoon by
Deputy Sheriff Emil Markowsky to
l-ecover the. money he said he had hid-
den in that city.
He >vas to lie lodged in jail follow-
ing" his return to this city in the cus-
tody of officers ” to face a charg-e of
felony-theft, according to District At-
torney Howard Green. His bond was
set at $750.
Sehroeder had told the officers that
he had gone to the bank at 7 p. m.
; to do some work. As he entered, he
said, he was accosted by two heavily
armed men. They menaced him with
pistols and warned him to be quiet.
After they had gone inside they told
him to “g"et the money,” but before
he could act, they threw a powder in
his face, he said. He then became un-
conscious and remembers nothing" un-
til he awoke on the Fredericksburg
Road a few miles from San Antonio,
he said.
He found himself in his own auto-
mobile, he said. A sedan had driven
up beside it. A wom/m was driving".
The two men g'ot out of his car and
entered the sedan. As they drove
away, Sehroeder said he fired once at
them. He then, drove into San Anto-
nio.
At the hospital attendants reported
that Schhroeder appeared nervous, but
that they could find no trace of any
narcotics or drug's of any kind about
him.
In Schroeder’s car officers reported
that they found a .32 automatic pistol
which had been fired once, also two
other pistols, a .45 and a .38 caliber.

LARRIMORE
Author of Our New Serial
“Mulberry Square”
The charm, delicacy and sponta-
neity of “Tarpaper Palace” won
for Lida Larrimore the warm ad-
miration of a host of enthusiastic
readers, and brought to her the al-
most universal acclaim of the crit-
ics. In “The Wagon and the Star”
Miss Larrimore wrote another love
story that proved even more popu-
lar than its predecessor, a story
about the sort of pleasant people
all of us would like to know. The
New York Times, always critical,
referred to it as: “A book that
satisfies that tender mood that
•wants lightness and youth and
beauty; that wants to be stirred
by the heartaches of love and its
charm.”
Then came “The Silver Flute,”
another charming romance with
quaint and lovable characters, that
was hailed as the best this talented
writer had produced.
And now it is “Mulberry Square,”
undoubtedly her best up to this
time. A romance that is intensely
human, and a human story that is
a romance. A story that satisfies
the tender mood that wants light-
ness and youth and beauty, that
wants to be stirred by the heart-
aches of love and its charm.
* Fiction is not the only field in
which Lida Larrimore has turned
her talent to good advantage. She
has twice written prise winning
plays, and also has had several
musical compositions published.
“Mulberry Square” will appear
serially in these columns, and every
reader will enjoy every chapter.
Mr. Theo Rogge of Shiner,
President of the Westhoff bank
stated New Year’s Day to a Ga-
zette representative that he was
confident all funds weie in first
class shape but a thorough
checking of the books would be
gone, into at once.

HUNDREDS of thousands of people now own
and drive Ford V-8 cars. Some neighbor or
friend of yours has one. If we told you what we
think of the car, you might say we are prejudiced^
so we let the car and its owner tell you.
Economy of operation is one of the first points
they will emphasize—the owner will boast of it
and the car will prove it.
The 1934 car is even better than the 1933—
and that was our best car up to its time. The new
car is more beautiful-—faster—more powerful
-—gives more miles to the gallon — better oil
economy—is easier riding—cheaper to own and
operate than any car we ever built.
You owe it to yourself and your pocketbook to
ask our Ford Dealer to let you see this car, and
let you drive it for yourself. At the wheel of the
car you will be sure to reach a right decision. The
Ford V-8 will tell you its own story.
