Mass Meeting Wanted
The City Council has request-
ed that we announce that they
will hold a special meeting Wed-
nesday night Sept, 23rd, for the
purpose of discussing the water
situation and other important
matters.
We understand the City is
contemplating taking over the
water works since the sewer
question is settled. This would
in oyr opinion be a most excel-
lent thing to do. Mr. Schaefer
has been wanting to transfer
the water business to somebne
else, cow is the proper time. The
City already owns the water
mains and is completing a big
expansion program, it is but
natural that the City should own
the works and take care of the
revenue. Come to the meeting
Wednesday night, express your
opinion about this and other
matters which will be brought
up. This means everybody,
don't forget the date or say
you did not know anything about
this meeting. The City is pay-
ing for this notice so that every*
one may represent himself. He
there.

School Opened Monday;
Appropriate Program Given
Monday morning the 1925-26
school year officially began
Bright and early the young folks
from all directions «vere tread *
ing their way toward, where
wisdom and knowledge are to be
obtained.
When the bell rang at 9 o'clock
and the children, patrons and
faculty filed into the Auditorium
but few vacant seats remained.
The program was given jointly
by the Home and School Club
and the Trustees. Mrs. O. G.
Blohm presided.
The first number was the
National Anthem, sang by every-
one. Ne*t brother W. D. Cowan
offered a pra.ver.
Senator Russek then made a
talk in behalf of Schulenburg,
recalling early school days here
and the comparsion today. He
extended a hearty welcome to
the new members of the faculty
and to the teachers who were
with us last year. He stated
that we loved the teachers and to
prove that we did and had con-
fidence in them we trusted them
with lifes most precious posses-
sion, our children. He stated
that we wanted the members of
the faculty to take an active part
in our social, and civic affairs
and be one of us.
Miss Edwin Weather next
rendered a very beautiful piano
selection.
Anton Beneker, President of
the school board, proved the life
of the program, he kept every-
one in a good humor by injecting
comical remarks with his more
serious thoughts.
He praised the school board
members, the Home and School
Club, Batchelor Kiehn for what
he did for the school when a
member of the board. He com-
plimemted Senator Russek very
highly, stating that if it had not
been for him it is doubtful if we
today would hpve this splendid
building, recalling the election
controversy, the contest of the
election and how Senator Russek,
he,and the other board members
fought for this building. He also
was high in his praise of Prof.
Griswold, and as he stated,
though like we, other humans he
was not infallable, he made mis-
takes, but that he was a most ex-
cellent professor, and did won-
ders for us, and that we owe him
a debt of gratitude. He then in-
troduced Prof. E. H. Patton.
Supt. Patton was given one of
the heartiest welcomes ever ac-
corded anyone in our school
building. He was unable to speak
for several minutes due to the
continued applause.
His speech, the Key note of
which was co-operation, was a
masterful talk, every word
spoken meant something and
was something. Prof. Patton is
the best speaker the school has
ever had, it is a good and neces-
sary qualification for the head of
a school. He also stated in no
unmistakable language, that he
was going to be the Superin-
tendent, he is a fighter, another
good quality. We earnestly be-
lieve we will make more progress
this year than any we have yet
made.
He stated that he and his
facplty, must have 100 per ifeent
co-operation, that regardless of
the building and how good the
laculty may be, unless he had
this cooperation the school is
doomed to failure.
He also stressed another im-
portant thing and we are glad
that he did. He asked that every-
one who through his child, has
any misunderstanding with any
teacher or himself, that they
come to himwith their differences
that he is entitled to know when
something goes wrong or is mis-
understood, "Don't" he said,
"Stand on the street corner and
publicly air out your differences"
come to him with it,he is entitled
to this consideration,he demands
it, and he is right. The idea of
any man or woman gossiping
around on corners about my son
or my daughter abused, or not
treated fairly, etc., at school, no
sane person will do this, if any-
thing comes up always go to
headquarters and get the
straight of it.
Prof.Patton stated he had every
students interest at heart, re
gardless of how poor or how rich
whether the parents be Protest
ant, Catholic, Jew or Klu Klux
their children would be treatec
equally That the school was the
real melting pot into which all
races, and creeds enter on equal
basis, and that when they left
school they somehow were al
good American Citizens. How
true and how correct he is. Who
ever heard of any child regard
less of its home teachings, that
ever finished grammer school
that was not loyal to the govern
ment.
We want everyone around us
and the state at large, to watch
our s,moke this year, we are go
ing to get that long sought, an d
much wished for affiliation. You
bet we are, we know a fighter
when we see one and good broth-
er Patton is going to put in some
knock out blows.
Mrs. Weathers was the next
to speak, she stated that it is
said that a woman never quits
talking, but, after listening to all
of these men talk there was ab
solutely nothing left for a woman
to say, further she had studied
public speaking to teach it and
not for her own use.
She then offered a closing
prayer, and the school term was
started.
Folks we have always worked
together to advance the interests
of the school, lets just pep up a
little more than ever, and get be
hind our children and see that
they work hard. Watch their re-
port cards, see what they are
weak in, and insist on them
studying this subject. No rea-
son for any parent or patron to
wonder why their child failed at
the end of a term. The monthly
report card shows whether the
child is doing the work or not,
then is your time to cooperate
with the teacher in trying to
teach the child these subjects,
which it seems unable to grasp.
If your child was sick, not do-
ing well, would you sit idly by,
or would you co-operate with
your Doctor and help it overcome
its weakness? You parents know
what you would do, when your
child at school brings home his
report card, sho ving how he or
she is doing, are you going to
co-operate with your teacher, or
will you ignore its weaknesses
and let it fail? The Editor is not
trying to preach to you, but we
are just trying to put the thing
perhaps in a different light, to
try and get your whole hearted
co-operation, and sfypw yoq why
you must co-operate yqq reai.
ly love your child, and we know
you do.
Miss Lillie Kahanek left Tues.
day to take charge as assitant
teacher at St. Paul School where
she is employed for this session.
Negroes Tie White Lady
In Attempted Robbery.
Excitement was running very
high here last Thursday night
when news was flashed around
telling of two young negroes who
attacked Mrs. Emil Effenberger
residing about 4 miles from town
just this side of the Lavaca
County line.
Monday a week ago these-same
two negroes appeared at this
house pulling a pistol on Mrs.
Effenberger while her husband
was away. They had handker-
chiefs tied over their faces, they
demanded money. About this
time a car came by and the ne-
groes fled. Wednesday Emil Ef-
fenberger came to town and res
ported this ,to the officers, who
started investigating. Thurs*
day Emil, Bob Williams, Frank
Janicek and Deputy Vogt of La
Grange started another hunt for
these parties, they arrestee
Tcmmie Miller and put him in
jail, then continued their search
until almost night. When Emil
returned home about 6 p. m. his
wife was not in sight he called to
her and heard a faint reply call
ing for help. He rushed into
the house and found his wife
laying tied to the bed. Her hands
and feet were tied and a gag
over her mouth, and then she
was tied to the bed. Nearly al
her clothes had been torn off in
the struggle with the ne-
groes, a bad flesh wound on the
inner side of her thigh also at*
tested to the struggle she made
befoffe being bound. After she
was tied Mrs. Effenberger stat
ed the negroes did her no harm,
but got an apron and spread over
her body to cover it, where her
clothes had been torn away.
The negros demanded money,
thfy stated if she did not tell
them where to find it they would
kill her and set the house afire.
She fainted, she came to when
the dog was licking her face, she
was afraid to look around at first
afraid of being shot, or her head
crush in and killed. When she
did look the negroes had fled.
She laid this way about an hour
before her husband came home
and released her.
The negros tore the trunks
open and everything upside
down hunting money, their only
apparent reason for the crime.
The officers were notified as
soon as he returned home and
found his wife, they with local
citizens started out and arrested
four negroes that night, to date
a total of about 17 have been ar-
rested, all but three were releas-
ed they are Tommie Miller, Ho-
mer Ward and a boy named
Fitzgerald.
Mrs. Effenberger says one ne-
gro had a big white scar across
the back of his right hand. This
negro has not been found. Of"
fleers have worked hard on this
case and hope yet to pick up the
guilty parties.
Word was received here last
Friday that Mrs, Maxwell was
very low at the hospital in Hous-
ton, Dr. Maxwell rushed there
in a car. Word has since been
received that she is recuperat.

Frank Celetka hit I. Petier
over the head with a piece of
wood Wednesday night. The
argument as we have it seemed
to be Germans and Bohemains
vs. Ku Klux, the Ku Klux side
which Celetka took won out and
the German and Bohemains were
knocked out. Celetka spent the
night in jail, next morning he
plead guilty, was fined 120 and
