Around Town
(By the Editor)
Sehulenburg is faeed with a
health problem that needs atten-
tion and the whole hearted co-
operation of everyone. Unless
•very man, woman and child, re-
gardless of color or age, does his
^duty dire results may be had
We refer to Infantile Paralysis.
Any child who has a cold should
be kept away from school, from
picture shows, from church, or
anywhere where people gather.
Ho or she should be watched very
closely. Infantile Paralysis, to
be treated correctly,must be de9
tooted in its very early stages. It
starts with a cold followed by
fever, usually soreness of the
neck or spine is noticed or com-
plained of, this, however, is not
always the ease, but is true in
the majority of cases. Children
have been known to play hard,
getting real hot. then coming in
doors and taking a nap and
awakening with parts of the body
paralysed. Infantile Paralysis
nob only strikes the legs, but the
bauds, arms, eyes, or most any
part of the body. It slips in and
cripples one before we know it is
there.Therefore, we warn every-
one in the name of the citizen-
ship of Schulenburg, take no
chances, its better, far better,to
spend a few dollars, whether you
can afford it or not, in having a
good Doctor examine your ehild,
if it has a cold, than to take a
chance. (The Schools have made
it a rule to send home every child
who has a cold and it should re
port to a doctor for examination
If you have no money we feel
sure Doctors can be found who
will gladly examine your child
anyway and give it the same
careful examination as any child
in town. Every Doctor expects
to do some charity wark, but of
course if yoa can afford to pay
yon should.We publish in today's
paper an article from the Ameri
cart. Medical Journal, relative to
the serum for this disease. This
Journal questions its worth once
paralysis has set in. While we
are npon this subject, we want
to caution our people about
spreading false reports about
people having infantile paralysis
who do not have it. To do so
could bring a big law suit. Don't
repeat, in confidence, or other-
wise, that so and so has it,unless
you know yourself from the doc-
tor on the case that the patient
really has this malady. Reports
are passed daily naming dozens
of cases, it is your duty as a
eitisen, Mr. Man and Mrs. Lady,
to atop these reports and tell the
one spreading this false infor-
mation that they are laying them
selves liable to serious trouble
by even making this statement.
List's not be a lot of gossips Be-
cause someone has a eold or is
ill does not make the ease one of
Infantile Paralysis. The Sticker
Office will keep in as elose touch
as ]»ossibie with every develop-
ment. We will co-operate with
every doctor in every way to
preteet the health of this com-
munity. We would appreciate a
report from the Doctors if any
new oases develope, anyone in
town who wants to know can
then call our office when a ques-
tion is raised relative to some
one having it. In this way we
can all be reliably informed and
preset the community accor-
dingly .Only two cases have been
-reported Berniee Blohm and
Hassl WLitten. The latter lives
with her grandmother, Mrs. Mc
Bride, & few miles East of town
on the Highway. Hasel has been
effected very slightly, only one
hand and a part of the lower arm

Hackberry Youth
Loses One Eye
Albert Muhlstein of the Hack-
berry section, a young man of
18 years lost an eye and came
very near losing his life last
week. The young man had a shell
lodged in his 22 rifle, he put
the gun in the fire to heat it~and
hoped injthis way to remove the
shell. After the gun had been
exposed to the heat he raised the
barrel to his eye to see what he
I could see, about that time the
shell exploded going right
through the eye and lodging near
the brain. Dr. Peters rushed the
boy to the Hallettsville Hospital
where Dr. Kopecky performed
an. operation removing the eye
and bullet. The young man is
reported resting easy.
The accident is regretted very
i very much by the friends of this
fine young man and his family,
we sincerely hope that a speedy
recovery is made.
This should serve as a lesson
to other boys A loaded gun
is just as dangerous as a stick of
dynamite. You can't be too
careful with them. Always treat
every gun as a loaded gun even
though you know it is empty
Statistics will prove that most of
the people shob with guns in ac-
cidents were shot with a gun
that they knew was empty. You
can't be too careful.
Remodeling Home
Herman Umlang, one of the
good farmer* of the Preyburg
section has engaged the services
of Contractor Fritz Suess to re-
model his home. Part of the ori-
ginal house will be torn down
and rebuilt, The plans calWor a
very attractive home when com-
pleted. Our congratulations.
ery should be effected by both of
these cases. If new cases de-
velop we will know it.
Schulenburg. Fayette County, Texas, Friday, October 14, 1932
No. 49
The Short Horn Squad cover-
ed itself with glory last Friday
afternoon and it was a proud
bunch of citizens that cheered
and whooped it up from the side
lines. Look over the list of boys
who played in that game and
give each man just as much cred-
it as the next, without the 100
per cent co operation of each
man the biggest hero of the
game would have been helpless.
That line of ours looked like a
million dollars and how they
opened holes is nobody's busi
ness.lt was the opening of these
holes that permitted our ball
carriers to advance. Around end
we looked sick because of the
flfeet backs Bastrop had. This
game demonstrated remarkably
how the team that plays heads-up
all the time gets the breaks.
Schulenburg really made the
first touchdown by straight foot-
ball but the long 80 yard run by
Helmcamp, who intercepted a
Bastrop pass was a break for us
and excellent heads-up football
for Eli Helmcamp. The ihird
touchdown a blocked punt which
rolled across the Bastrop line
and which Big Heinrich fell on
was anather break turned into a
touch down. This breaking
through and blocking punts wins
many a game We are mighty
proud of every man on the squad, i
We are sorry to report C. A. out
with blood poison due to an in- j
fection on his leg and Smrkosky |
out with an injured hip. Both of
these boys will be back in shape
soon but neither one will be able
to go in Fridays game against
Flatonia This is a tough break,
it will be up to the rest of the
boys to work overtime to make
»p for these two backieid men.

Yoakum Plays
Here Saturday
The Yoakum second stringers
will be in Schulenburg Saturday
afternoon at 3*15 to play a re"
turn game against the Short
Horn Juniors. In the last game
Yoakum defeated us 6 to 0 but
the second stringers were not
quite satisfied and will try to
get satisfaction Saturday after-
noon, lets have a crowd out Sat*
urday afternoon to encourage
the boys and to look over the re*
serve strength. These second
string squads often playiag a
more thrilling game than do the
first stringers. Lets have a big
crowd out to root for these boys.
Now lets see you Shest Horn
calves do your stuff, perhaps
Coach Powers will see yeu knick-
ing up dust and place you among
the roaring bulls.
Schulenburg Defeats
. Bastrop 19 to 0
The Schulenburg Short Horns
defeated the Bastrop Bears 19-0
in one of the cleanest and hard-
est fought football games ever
played on the local gridiron, last
Friday. The game was exciting
from the start until the finish,
and never was there a cinch for
either clubjto out class the other,
except the fourth quarter when
the Short Horns started
sustained drive down the field
and drove the ball across with a
fine executed forward pass, with
some nice interference with by
E. Otto, who cut down the safety
man after Alfred Heinrich had
taken a short pass from C. A
Therewas some fine blocking by
the line man and back field men,
on offense a vicious bunch of
Short Horns, when they were on
the on the defense. Schulenburg
made 4 first downs the first half
to two for Bastrop and 6 to 3 the
last half.
Bastrop was a constant threat
all the afternoon with Wright,
Watson, Price and a big No. 13
showing to advantage. Wrights
returns of punts was the feature
of Bastrop's offense.
Line up for Schulenburg:
L- E., E. Otto

Cotton Receipts Here
Local cotton receipts here up
until this week were approxima-
tely 3,000 bales. Included in
these receipts are some 1,200
bales now on the Compress plat-
form that have not been sold.
This cotton is being held for
higher prices. There is also a lot
of cotton being held on the farms
in this section for higher prices.
This holding movement is becom-
ing general throughout the
South and this is the best assur-
ance that prices will have to ad-
vance.
The Compress business has
been very dull this year, only
some 300 bales of cotton being
compressed here this year.
The cotton ginning reports are
beginning to be bullish and we
feel sure with additional ginning
reports released the cotton world
will actually realize we had a
real short crop this year when
compared with last year's crop.
The early crop this year made
ginnings show about even with
last years crop but last week's
ginnings report showed consid-
erable less and the next one will
show a real wide margin of dif-
ference which should make the
cotton world prick up its ears.'
Fayette and Colorado
Get Highway Money
The State Highway Commis-
sion at its meeting on Oct.,24th.,
will let contracts for the 15.9
miles of gravel base and surface
courses with concrete paving on
Highway 71 from LaGrangeEast
4.6 miles and from Fayette Coun-
ty to the Colorado County River
Bridge.
At this meeting there will also
come up the re-location of State
Highway No. 3 between Colum
bus and Houston. This matter is
of great importance to Schulen-
burg and all other towns up and
down the O. S. T. The hearing
on this has been set for Oct., 24,
and it will be the first case on
the docket that morning. We
urge our readers to notice the
word ''Re-location",which means
that the present O. S. T. Route
No. 3 will be changed. We also
want to call our readers atten-
tion to the fact that the Highway
from 'Flatonia to Columbus is
classed as a second class road.
Sooner or later we must get
busy and have this brought up
to a first class road or we stand
a chance to lose this highway
through here just like some
towns will lose this Highway at
the letting on Oct., 24th.We must
be awake and doing all of the
time. To think we are secure is
only fooling ourselves until we
get a first class Highway through
here. All live wires know that any-
thing that is done in the Highway
line must be done immediately
as it is figured that practically
all road building will stop when
the next administration goes in.
One third of the gasoline tax,
passed to build roads with, will
be turned from road building in-
to the General Fund for the Leg
slature to spend for whatever it
wishes. That is the Ferguson
Platform and was also adopted at
the Lubbock Convention.
Popular Couple
Married Here
With the Sick
Mrs. Adolph Kainer of the
County Line section underwent
an operation Sunday night at the
Dufner Hospital in Hallettsville
where her gall bladder and ap-
pendix were removed. This good
lady became a mother about two
weeks previous to her operation.
The operation was performed by
Dr. Schofield and he reports her
resting as well as can be expect-
ed under the circumstances.
Erwin Stavinoha had his ton-
sils removed Jiere Wednesday by
Dr. Schofield. He is reported to
be doing nicely.
Free Flour For Poor
Schulenburg is due to receive
a hilf car, or about 800 sacks of
flour from the American Red
Cross to be distributed free of all
costs to people who have no funds
to buy with. This flonr will be
shipped to the Mayor about Nov.
1st. Any needy family can make
application to him or to any busi*
neus man in Schulenburg. The
business or professional man,
will, if he knows the condition of
the family, issue an order on the
May< r to give t' em flour.Flitenia
will also get 800 sacks. These
two towns are supposed to take
care of a 1 needs from the Colora-
do River South in Fayette County
and LaGrange to servo North of
the River from its car. This ap*
plies to White or Colored folks in
need.
A quiet wedding was consum-
mated in our City last Thursday
when Rev. Paul Piepenbrok pro-
nounced the words that united
the hearts and hands of Miss
Leaf a Schulz, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Emil Schulz, Sr., and
Mr. Hugo Pietz. The wedding
taking place at the home of the
bride's parents, with only im-
mediate relatives present. After
the wedding a sumptuous wed-
ding dinner was served then the
happy couple left for Port Ar-
thur and other points on their
honeymoon.
Miss Leafa is one of Schulen-
burg's sweetest and most popu-
lar young ladies, a young lady
whom to know is to love, and
Mr. Pietz is indeed fortunate in
having won such a wonderful
young lady for his life's com-
panion.
Mr. Pietz for the past several
years has been a valued employee
of the Gulf Filling Station, a
good, honest hard working young
man who commands the respect
of everyone.
After their honeymoon trip
the young couple will be at home
to their many friends in the
Western part of the City.
The Sticker joins their many
friends in wishing them a happy
married life.
Second Infantile
Case Reported
Dr. Schofield reported the
second case of Infantile paralysis
in our section, that of Hazel
Whitten, aged 14 years. She
has a very mild case,Dr. Schofield
stated, with only one arm invol"
ved and he stated he expected
his patient to make a full and
complete recovery. The McBride
home where she lives, about
three miles East of town on the
Highway has been quarantined.
A red flag there warns people
to keep away.
If any more cases develops we
will keep our people posted in
the mean time help us kill out
the false rumors. People do not
mean to spread false information
but will not investigate the re-
ports they spread. Lets all re-
solve to stop it.
Bank Statements Good
Republican Candidate
To Speak Here
According to a letter from Or-
ville Bullington, Republican can-
didate for Governor, he will
speak in Schulenburg on Satur-
day afternoon, October 22nd., at
2:30 P. M. On this same day he
will speak at Eagle Lake at 10 A.
M., Columbus at 11 A. M., La
Grange 1:30 P. M., Schulenburg
2:30 P. M., Hallettsville 3:30 P.
P. M., Yoakum 4:30 P. M. and
Cuero at night at 8 P. M.
It might be that Mr. Bulling-
ton will be the next Governor of
Texas, it all depends on what
happens between now and the
November election. A great many
people don't want any more of
either Ferguson or Sterling and
are turning to Bullington.
We call our readers attention
to the statements of our two
banks published in today's paper
which shows these institutions
in excellent condition and banks
that any City in the U. S. A.
should be proud of. Look them
over.
