THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1830 LOCKHART POST-REGISTER, LOCKHART, TEXAS Which By Albert T. Reid Dclores Vogel Honored Mr. and Mrs. L. C.

Stokes, assisted by Mrs. Whitmore and three members of the younger group, Katherine Hilgers, Roberta Notley and Kathlyn Vogel, entertained in honor of Dolores Vogel, having as guests members of Lockhart High School Graduating Class and the sponsor, Mrs. Harold Dement The unusual aspect of the evening's entertainment kept the guests wondering all the time just what would be the next type of entertainment. The home and the hostess, Mrs. Stokes, and the host Mr.

Stokes were all representative of a hospital and its attendants. When the guests entered the living room which was decorated with Dr. Quack signs, they were given a small stick of candy and! told that before they could be patients in the hospital they must take their temperature with the candy thermometer. If it melted they must have a high temperature and would need immediate attention. So, all were patients in Doctor Quack's hospital.

During their time in this hospital, various forms of treatment were administered. Some was in the form of banco, some in piecing hearts, in drawing- frnfh a reflection in a mirror, some in hot air contest, some in cutting and still in the form of piecing a heart together and poetry writing' Each of these contests had a reward in the form of a daisy petal for the winner of first place. When all these were over the winner of the contests, Elton Miller was presented with a large jar of candy pills, while Kate Ellis Lipscomb was given a small jar of or tne eas number of daisy petals. As the hours were wearing away rapidly, the three young assistants served the guests with lovely brick ice cream and daisy angel food squares. At a late hour the guests bid the honoree, hostesses and host good-night, expressing their appreciation for the delightful evening's entertainment.

THE BOOTLEGGER PERCENTAGE The Senior Class of L. H. S. will present its class play, "An Old Fashioned Mother," on Friday evening May 9th. A brief synopsis of the cast is as follows: Setting: Front "Sittin'" room of Deborah Underhill.

CAST Deborah Underhill, an old fashioned Louise Prove. Widder Bill Pindle, leader of the Ohlendorf. Lowizy Loving Custard, a sentimental old maid Rosa Lee Blumrich. Isabel Simpscott, the village belle White. Gloriana Perkins, the hired girl Hill.

Sucky Pindle, a little girl of nine Bellamy, i John Underbill, the Prodigal Son Schucany. Charley Underhill, the selfish elder Fielder. Jonah Quackenbush, an old Withers. Jerry Gosling, a comical country Stein. Enoch Rone, a tramp Kilmer Seeliger.

Quintus Todd, the D. Baker. In addition to the three act drama, there will be two interesting between acts by other members of the senior class who are not in the play. The first one is a Spanish scene, of Spanish dancing and singing. The second one is An Old ioned Garden scene with more I singing and dancing.

The evening affords good tainment for all. Be there. roun Readers of the Post-Register will remember that mother bull dog belonging to Sam Whiteside brought forth a litter of pups three of which were born without legs. Many Lockhart people these freaks of nature while they remained in Lockhart. Mr.

Whiteside sold the mother dog and the pups to II. E. Cokcr who purchased them for his brother in Dallas who knew something of the carnival show business. The Dallas Coker added to collection a Great Dane, we believe the largest of dogs, and also a little dog weighing less than a pound, and shipped the entire lot to Coney Island and placd them on exhibition. He showed long enough to pay for the stock and to remunerate him for his time and trouble and return interest on the investment and sold his show to a carnival company for $1200.00.

Mr. Whiteside says dogs are easier to soil than cows, hogs or even milk goats. Uncle Eddie Johnson is the blind negro who begs on the streets and about town. Uncle Eddie is a worthy subject of charity. A nickel dropped in his cup is better spent than tos.sinK to an itinerant and perhaps professional mendicant.

Before Uncle Eddie lost his eyesight he was a great worker. He does not lack energy as is evidenced by his being led over town soliciting aid. When he could earn Uncle Eddie lived well and he still craves good things to eat. The reg ularity with which Uncle Eddie appears at your doors should convince you that Uncle Eddie does not intend to die in debt to his belly if walking and talking will avoid such misfortune. Don't lose patience with Uncle Eddie; he is the most energetic and fully as worthy as any of the city or county's dependents.

CARD OF THANKS We take this opportunity to thank all of our neighbors and friends who rendered assistance or spoke words of sympathy during the illness and at the death of our husband and father, A. J. Miears. We are also grateful for the beautiful floral offerings. MRS.

A. J. MIEARS MRS. W. C.

JENNINGS MRS. D. JACKSON MR. SMITH DIDN'T GO Katrina Van Televox, a In another portion of this paper the statement is made that Vance H. Smith and H.

W. Schulz attended the Firemen's School of Instruc tion at A. M. College. Mr.

Smith, at the last, found he couldn't go, so W. H. Vogel, Louis Wolff and H. W. Schulz went.

Many ideas as to fire prevention, fire fighting and departmental efficiency were advanced some of which will be adopted in Lockhart. BIRD Masur. TWO DEATHS IN BALUnr, FAMILY KD On Friday of last week W. H. Ballard received notice of the death of his sister, Mrs.

L. A. Harris in a hospital at Temple. Mrs. Harris was 73 years of age and the illness that resulted In death had been of long duration.

She is survived by three daughters and a number of grandchildren. Saturday night Mr. Ballard received notice of the sudden death of his brother, W. C. Ballard, ngeo 57, at his home at Wacldcr.

Funeral was held at Waelder Sunday afternoon under auspices of the Masons at the same hour of the funeral of the sister at Belton. Mr. W. H. Ballard expresses himself as very grateful for the sympathy and courtesies of Lockhart people in his hour of trial.

The community that discovers, is the one that will progress. There is too much waiting for surprises to bob up. The exhibit of paintings by Texas artists brought to light the surprising fact that there are many in this community who draw and paint. A musical entertainment or the organization of a band brings to attention talent previously unknown and unrecognized. The same is true as concerns the Caldwell County are exhibits as fine as are seen at the State Fair.

We should attempt (more; there should be more surveys made, more exploration, more experiments and as a result there will be, more discovery. The resources of this community have hardly been touched much less developed. We should get out of the ojd path and blaze new trails.

Of the 2592 persons received into the Texas prison in 1929, only 716 were liquor law offenders. A total of 942 convicted of burglary and theft were received, showing that there are more thieves than bootleggers in Texas, at least, that more are convicted. For forgery and passing forged instruments 299 were received and 190 were convicted of murder. A little more than a fourth of the new prison population, therefore, was connected with the illicit liquor trade. If we are going to repeal the dry laws in order to thin out the population in the penitentiary, as some people are now suggesting, we had better also repeal the laws against burglary and theft.

That would be even more effective in relieving the prison pressure. WE SELL barber Maeur. Imtm Cmpkml chief towu ef the wag Qajco. dencendaoja of tip etUI represent over SO per Mt of tie Inhtblfauta of POULTRY and Rabbit Fence, Joe Masur. reau of Business Research at the University of Texas.

Production for the first quarter totaled 1,497,000 barrels, a new high record for the State. Shipments amounted to 627,000 barrels in March and 1,465,000 barrels in the first quarter. DEPARTMENT STORE SALES DECREASE Failure of the cotton crop last year is responsible for many va- canT houses in Lockhart but that confidence in the community is not destroyed Is shown by the price of two lots recently sold thru John N. Gambrell real estate agent. The Lockhart Baptist church lot brought $11,000 and the Griesnbeck lot $20,000.00.

It is possible the buildings on the Griesenbeck lot were not considered by the purchasers. Austin, Texas, April of 84 comparable department stores located in 24 cities of the State amounted to $5,348,000 in March, against $6,267,000 in March last year, a loss of 14.8 per cent, according to Bervard Nichols editor of the Texas Business Review, issued monthly by the Bureau of Business Research at the University of Texas. Sales of the 84 stores for the first quarter were $14,301,000, against $16,907, 000 for the first quarter last year, a loss of 10.1 per cent. Retail trade in March for the entire United States fell 12 per cent under that in March, 1929. CORD Masur.

WOOD for FRESH Typewriter Ribbons for all makes ef typewriters at the Pest-Begitter. Two enterprising citizens were lost to this community in the removal of Dr. and Mrs. B. W.

Klingeman to New Braunfels whither they went to be near their ranch and pecan interests. Mrs. Klingeman took up pectin culture when there did not seem to be much to it. She saw a possibility and courageously set forth on the comparatively new work of development. As she did not deny the statement that last year she cleared $3000 in the business, we suppose it is true.

Mrs. Klingeman was not afraid of being culled "a nut." She often in the beginning of her work said, "I may be a nut as some say but that is all right." Yes, it's all right, for now Mrs. Klingeman is an authority on pecans and what ought to interest this community is her statement, made at McMahan that Caldwell County is us good pecan territory as Comal from an authority. Miss Viola Mohle received a letter from her mother at Brownsville and in it was the expression, "the hens are not laying an they have been but considering the time they have been laying, I suppose they are doing well." "The" definite article "the" as applied to those hens means something. "The" hens were purchased by Louis Mohle as baby chicks from Major Cardwell in the early of 1927.

Miss Televox is one of the race of electrically actuated dummies controlled by vocal signals, which modern science has been developing for several years. She personifies the future possibilities foi automatic operation of various an electric light to a manufacturing plant.

Katrina can talk. When she per- forms at Lockhart next Wednesday, she will tell all about She will blow an automobile horn, tun various electrical appliances, operate electric lights, all at the bidding of her master, a Westinghouse engineer who accompanies her. This robot is about a year old and has not been endowed with the ability to walk. The operator gives Katrina instructions by whistling to her through a telephone. It will be explained to the audience how it is possible that within a few years Katrinka may be used as a medium through which many household tasks can be performed one may telephone Katrina from some distant point, and have her start dinner to cooking, let down the windows, or do other household task.

This modem mechanical girl is coming to Lockhart in the guise of a demure Dutch girl, but a window in her front exposes her vitals in a somewhat indenture way. The televox robots are capable of answering telephone calls, receiving directions and replacing the receiver when the conversation is over. In practical robots are constructed to perform certain functions in the operation of substations, power plants, airport lights and water reservoirs. Three such automatons watch over three water reservoirs in Washing ton, D. and when called by telephone from the War Department make accurate reports on the height of the water.

Miss Televox has been for some time on a national tour, which has taken her to many cities in the United Stales. She is said to represent a cost of $22,000, and is the "sister" of "Herbert Televox" metal man who has attracted wide attention at many scientific and public gatherings. -o M.

He says the negroes there were unusually prosperous as compared with those of other places and are good cash customers.
