Aug. 15.— Whew! Whsshb!
Who said we could not have hot
weather this summer? Gosh, a]
we can do now is try to keep
cool and not use profane lan
guage when we’re not. Some-
times we feel so hot we want to
take our electric fan into the
ice box and spend the rest of oui
life in that position. We don’t
see how the mosquitoes live with
all this hot weather, but any waj
they still live, and it seems as il
they some-times get a little deep-
er down than they ought to. But
let’s not worry. Mosquito bites
are exercise for finger nails and
we should never neglect an ex
ercise for any part of our human
body, especially the limbs sucb
as legs and arms; keep 'em
swinging and then some day,
maybe, you’ll have something tc
crow about, if fake cotton buyers
and oil stock salesmen don’t get
it before the other fellow does,
or better still before you have
deposited it in your local bank.
“I always did believe in saving.”
“ ‘S ‘at so? How much did you
save?” “Oh, I haven’t saved
anything yet but I believe in it
just the same.”
Edmund Rudloff and family
spent their vacation here last
week. Mr. Rudloff, while here,
spent most of his time fishing,
but had the usual fisherman’s
luck—no fish. Don’t blame
'em, Mr. Rudloff, for not biting,
if they have as hard a time keep
ing cool as we humans have,
they’d never bite during the day,
try night next time and maybe
luck will be with you.
Dr. Roger E. Knolle returned
from Waco, where he had his
tonsils removed. After resting
up awhile he will again resume
his practice.
Our burg has started road
work. We’ll get better road.-
now, sandy places will be clayed,
low places filled in and high
places scratched down. Oh boy.
ain’t we glad. We can then
crank our old Lizzie and go joy
riding once more. This riding
lately wasn’t joy riding any
more. It was just plain neces-
sity or not at all, that bumpedy,
bump rap-bang-and every bump
a cuss word, was just a bit too
much for us. Something had
to be done so we did it.
H. L. Schulze, Miss Anna
Schu’ze, Otto and Paul RudloS oi
Bellville made an overland trip
to Victoria last week Tuesday in
their Ford. They returned
Thursday.
Mi s. Rudolf Franke and son,
Edwin, are spending several
weeks in Houston. They made
the trip in their Ford.
We were all a bit shocked at
hearing the news that Glenn
Beckmann had committed sui-
cide. He was such a lively and
sociable fellow, that at first we
could hardly believe it but
finally we were convinced of the
fact when seeing H. H. Boelsche
and Justice Schmidt hurry to
the scene. Glenn, old boy, we
regret to Lave to part with you.
but you did it and so you must
go. Why, we failed to learn
before you took your preciou-
life, but wTe will see clear through
this matter sooner or later and
then we’ll be able to see why
you did such a rash act, with-
out giving us a mere bit of wai n-
ing. We hope that you now-
have rest and peace and at the
same time sympathize with your
bereaved home folks for the
loss they have sustained.
Camp meeting was held here-
in the M. E. church all last week
with a large attendance at every
service.
Misses Thusnelda and Eliza-
beth Schulze Forded to Bellville
last Friday evening. They
brought Paul and Otto Rudloff
home again who, as I have for-
merly stated, made the tri],
with Mr. Schulze.
“The other day I happened to
glance into the advertising col-
umn of a Houston paper” writes
a certain citizen in judge. It is
dways my pleasure of looking
through the ad column and a*
this particular time I happenec
go spy a certain ad that got me
by the heart strings and com-
menced tugging immensely, it
qead: “For Sale—One baby-
carriage, never used.” Imagine
my sympathy, undoubtedly this
couple was denied the honor oi
parentship and all tbe happiness
that they would have had was
now cut off, probably through
the death of their only child. 1
at once determined to look up
their address and at least giv.
them a word of cheer so that
they would at least forget their
misfortune for a little while.
I found their address and then
started for their home. Whei
1 got there I found the mastei
of the house out on the lawn
mowing grass, seeming appar-
ently contended, but neverthe-
less, I proceeded. ‘My dear sir,
I saw in the paper that you had
a baby carriage for sale.’
'Yes, you are right.
‘Then let me extend to you my
heartfelt sympathy, I always
feel very sorry for the couple
that after all their rejoicing ai
the arrival of a little ray of sun-
shine only to be thrown into
sorrow by losing it before they
even had time to love it and—’
‘Wait a minute,- interrupts he,
you are wrong.’
‘Then why, may I ask, did you
buy that baby carriage if you
had apparently no use for it.’
‘We bought it for one, but
when the day came, we were
surprised of tbe fact that, in-
stead of a single-seater, we
needed a two passenger carri-
age.’ I didn’t hesitate very long
i i getting away.”
Probably a little interesting to
some people, Miss Wilma Wes-
termann of Bellville will be
principal of our school here this
coming term. You may rest as-
sured that Miss Westermani
will give good service. The
writer had the honor of attend-
ing school with her and was her
classmate and knows her very
well. She was always at the
head.
Dr. Sigler returned to Bellville
He intends to get a young maY
to start off in his place there and
then continue his practice out
here and at New Ulm.
Werner Eckermann is on vaca
tion here at his home for the
week.
Lahrmann’s dance was well
attended but not very many
were dancing, only 32 couples
registered. Music was furnish-
ed by Boelsche’s Orchestra.
Those who did partake in this
pleasure of squirmirg and twist-
ing, proclaimed a very delight-
ful time. If you have never
seen a very elaborate mixture of
colors, we will make a safe bet
that you haven’t attended one of
the latest high kicking joints
they call dances, y ou can see one
of the most dazing color schemes
that ever existed. Of course,
the first color you observe is
yellow, yel’ow ai d some more
yellow. But that’s not all, you
can see them from the whitest
white on to the darkest shade of
black and all the betweens
thrown in for extra. Now then,
mix them all together, as they
do in just such occasions and be-
hold—your eyes still feel sore
the next morning, from the ef-
fects of this color mixing. Es-
pecially yellow, the man that
invented yellow ought to be tied
down to the ground and yellow
put all over him for not having
enough sense so as to change
that color to something else.
Yellow looks rotten and so was
the guy that started it.
Now then I’ll go about my
own business again.
“Jim.”
Yellow must have the same ef-
fect upon the nerves of our cor-
respondent that a real red jacket
has upon a turkey gobbler, but
he will get used to it later on.
In the days of painted eye
brows, lip sticks, etc , the peo-
ple must accustom themselves
to numerous newfangled ideas
and not wonder when they col
fide with a walking drug store.
Times will change, old boy, but
not the colors.—Ed.

zen of Near Ellinger, Passes.

New Ulm Receives First Bale Of
1921 Cotton.
The first bale of new cotton
marketed in New Ulm for the
season of 1921, was ginned by
Zettel Bros., of near Nelsonville
Tuesday morning. It was rais-
ed by John Liska, a renter on
Ben Wicker’s farm hear Nelson-
ville. The bale weighed 539
pounds and was sold to F. A.
Weige as good middling cotton
at 12X cents per pound.
The second bale came in Wed-
nesday morning which was gin-
ned by Theo. Webring of Blfflb-
lerville and was raised by Simon

Aged Negro Hit By Passenger
Train Near Pisek.
William McCullough, an aged
former slave while out hunting
small game near the M. K. & T.
right of way in the Pisek com-
munity, was struck by a south
bound passenger train and
severely bruised up one day last
week. The story related by Mc-
Cullough stems to indicate that
one of his dogs stood between
the rails and refused to respond
to its master’s call, whereupon
the ex-slave made a heroic ef
fort to grab his canine compan-
ion by the fly swatter and jerk
him off the road bed in order to
save its life. The old freedman
was knocked down by the pass-
ing train and injured on one of
bis arms. The train -topped,
picked him up, and brought him
on to New Ulm where he suffer-
ed great pain before Dr. Schmid
who was out town, arrived to
administer to his wants. Mc-
Cullough lives the life of a re-
cluse and is well thought of by
his white neighbors
