City Wednesday, Novem-
ber 19th.
T^niin Gohmert, prominent retired
business man of this city passed
away at the Glendale Hospital In
Whittier, California, at 3 o’clock
Friday afternoon following an ill-
ness of more than a year’s duration.
A message from his son, Walter
Gohmert brought the tidings of his
passing Friday evening and the
news was quickly spread to all his
friends in the community wherein
he bad lived and played such an ac-
tive part for so many years.
Funeral arrangements had not
been completed Saturday afternoon,
awaiting additional word from
California and the arrival of mem-
bers of his family here Sunday. It
was understood however that the
remains would be returned to his
home here for interment arriving
here about noon Monday
Mr. Gohmert went to California
six months ago hoping that his
health which had been steadily
failing since last October might
improve. Several weeks ago his con-
dition became critical and far some
days past it had been realised that
the end was approaching. Friends
here had kept apprised of his condi-
tion and were therefore not surpris-
ed when the final massage came
Friday.
The deceased for fifty years had
been one of Cuero’* leading dtisefis
and at the time of his depth bad

the local schools have as yet failed
to receive their salaries for Octo-
ber since there is not sufficient
money available in the school funds
at this time for the expenditures.
School officials state that if It is
not passible to arrange for the loan
immediately then the next step
would be to issue time warrants to
the teachers in lieu of the regular
salary warrants. These may be
cashed at a discount.
School tax monies are now coming
in. many tax-payers having re-
mitted as soon as the actual situa-
tion in school finances was made
public. It is believed that the pres-
ent emergency will be handled
isfactarily and the schools
continue to operate without f

Jurors in Judge’s
Trial Disagree
Confers With Cuero Leaders
on New Pro-
ject.
Congressman J. J. Mansfield,
slated to be the chairman of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee in
the House when Congress organizes
in December, visited Cuero Satur-
day and had a last conference with
leaders in the Guadalupe Canaliza-
tion nlan prior to his departure for
Washington, D. C.
Enroute to the capitol, Congress-
man Mansfield will attend the
Mississippi Valley Waterways As-
sociation convention in 8t. Louis
and will address the gathering. He
told friends and constituents with
whom he conferred hfere Saturday
that the -Guadalupe project will re-
ceive due consideration in his ad-
dress as a unit in the nation’s in-
land waterway system.
The veteran waterway leader de-
clared that in his opinion Guada-
lupe canalization supporters need
not expect any verdict on the plan
before next spring since the engi-
neers will not act until all reports
have been received on the river,
including irrigation, flood control
and power in addition to canallza-
,tion.
Commenting on the pending or-
J ganlmtlon of Congress Congressman
Mansfield declared that there is no
question but that the Democrats
win control the House and that in
that event John Gamer of Uvalde
wttl be the next speaker.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Nov. 14.
—(U.P.—Four trees at the Blue
Ribbon ranch have gone cuckoo.
Three apple trees, which had
bloomed in the spring, developed
fruit during the summer, and had
it picked in early fall, deckled to re-
peat the process before snow riles.
A cherry tree not to be outdone,
also burst into profuse bloom just
when winter was starting.
Turkey banquets may come and
go, but never in the history of
Cuero High activities will members
of a Gobbler football team enjoy
a more bountiful feast than they
did here Friday night with Gob-
bler “mothers” as hostesses.
Everything that makes a banquet
a success was provided by moth-
ers of the football boys and the
affair, held in the spacious base-
ment of the Methodist church, will
long stand as a highlight for
those who were favored as guests.
.The hospitality was genuine, and
the “turkey And flxins,” as ex
pressed by one member of the term
as delicious as a victory over the
Edna Cowboys, ancient rivals of
the Gobbler squad.;
Tables were gaily decorated with
the green and white, colors of
Cuero High, and tiny green and
white goal posts, footballs and
Gobbler pennants lent color to the
decorations. '■
The banquet was one affair where
after-dinner speeches were really
enjoyed, and with members of the
team in the “leading roles,” an
informal program following the
dinner proved a rare treat and
uncovered some brilliant orators
on the Cuero team. “8upe" Melton
acted as toastemster.
Those responsible for this most
enjoyable affair wore: Mesdames
Lawrence Ooppedgfe, J. 8. Edgar,
Otto Moelles* R. L. Barnes of
Cheapside, Annie Dunn and S. P.
