NER GOVERNOR
UTS TO SAVE HIS
ADMINISTRATION
A letter from Mr. G. T. Bludworth,
Special Rural School Agent for Tex-
as and administrator for the Rosen-
wald fund, states that Brenham will
receive the largest check ever written
in Texas on the Rosenwald fund.
The following paragraph is taken

band in a' critical conditon. Medical
aid was*, immediately summoned but
before reaching Mr. Windhausen’s •
bedside he had expired.
Mr. Windhausen was a native of
Germany, but emigrated to America
when a boy, working for his* uncle,
Albert Werner and for the firm of ,
Winkelmann & Bohne, later resign-

leaves to mourn his untimely demise,

brother, Chas. Windhausen, and one
sister, Mrs. Vai Herbst, both of Cald-
well. To these sorrowing relativee
the Banner-Press, and all of Brenham
extend heartfelt sympathy in this sad
hour. . '
About 27 years ago Mr. Windhaus-

Annie Busse, and to this union came
one daughter to bless the home-
Mr. Windhausen was a gentleman
of the highest type, numbering his
friends by his acquaintances; affec-

said Brenham has lost one of its valu-
able citizens.

NEW MODEL FORD
ON DISPLAY AT
SCHUERENBERG’S
The’ new model A Ford arrived in
Brenham at 1 o’clock P- hL in charge
of Mr. L. E. Thomas, factory repre-
sentative, who is demonstrating the
car and lecturing on the fine points of
-said model A.
This beautiful model, a Tudor in
dawn gray, which is now on display
in the showroom of F. W. Schueren-
berg, Inc., was driven from Fayette-
ville hy Mr. Thomas at an average
sj>eed of fifty miles an hour, and at
time of arrival both hands could be
olaced on top of cylinder head and no
discomfort felt, thus demonstrating
the cooling efficiency of the new
model A Ford.
Said model has been shown to ap-
proximately 125,000 people, who have
handled the car but which does not
<how any signs of abuse from so
much handling. It has been washed
as often as four times dialy during the
weather, traveling from dealership to
deaftrship, and still looks like It had
!ust been shipped from factory, thus
demonstrating the durability of the
Pyroxylin paint, which is standard on
all Ford cars.
A crowd of about five hundred
awaited the arrival of the new Ford,
which was quickly augmented imme-
diately updn arrival of the car,
showroom remaining crowded all
ternoon. '
The new model A Ford will be
display at the showroom of F-
Schverenberg, Inc., until tea o’clock* following Lindbergh’s recent flight.
Invitations have been sent to

p:*nnea
Lindbergh’s guests in the air today,
_ Both President Plutarco Elias- Cal-
les and former President Obregon
who is a candidate for re-election to
the presidency, had been sent written
invitations to fly with the American
visitor, it was understood.
Lindbergh planned to use a Mexi-
can plane since the other half of "we"
—the Spirit of St. Louis—would not
offer sufficient room for the two
passengers without radical changes
in the tenneau- •
The American viking today planned
his route to,Central America.'
The first half in the. Central Ameri-
can flight probably would be Nica-
ragua it was said authoritatively. Al-
though Nicaragua had not been men-
tioned yet, Lindbergh
tended to fly to all
American countries,to
been invited.
Lindbergh’s program
sluded the postponed athletic celebra-
tion in the national stadium. Some
60,000 school children from the capi-
’cl were expected to pay their hom-
age to the ‘hero of all Mexico.
Calisthenics, national dances and
patttGjtc soqgs were planed.
The final decision on whether the
American "Ambassador of Good
Will” would win the good will of the
Mexican people by attending the bull
fight Sunday night in his honor Or if
. he would be influenced by numerous
telegrams from humane societies in
he United States was still undecided.
