You'd Better Not
Risk It I
If you're figuring on buying a bill of
lumber, and think that the quality and the
prices are all about the same and that it
won't make any difference whether or not
you get our prices, just take this tip and
don't risk it. We're got the best stock of
lumber in these part and we're making
some mighty attractive prices. So you'd
better get an estimate from us before buy-
ing elsewhere.

The Tribune
News
FRIDAY. MAY, 1. 1914
It will be only a very short
time until Bartlett will need that
high school building, the site for
which was generously donated.
When will it be built?
The Tribune believes that is
the duty of every Texan to stand
by Gov. Colquitt in his efforts to
protect the citizens of our bor
der from the depredations of the
Mexicans.
Why is it that people will go
up and down the streets con-
deming one violation of the Sun-
day law, and be a party to the
violation of another? It is
wrong to violate any law, whet-
her it be your "pet" or not.
Those who are striving to b uild
Jip Bartlett, by their energy and
Capital, should meet the encour-
agement of every citizen. Those
who sit idly by and "grouch" at
every suggested movement of
' enterprise, 'should be frowned
upon and put on a back seat.
The editor of this great moral
and religious weekly does not
propose to let politics interfere
with his friendship toward his
fejlowman, nor with his busi-
ness dealings toward his patrons.
Others may do as they please.
But we would advise them, if
they want war to go to Mexico.
Col. Tom Ball announces in
favor of the kind of prohibition
that he is certain he can't get.
The colonel is opposed to national
prohibition, statutory prohibition
and the five and ten mile laws,
but declares he favors constitu-
tional statewide prohibition. In
the meantime a majority of the
hold over state senators, con-
stituting a majority of that body,
fie opposed to submission and a
iiaior tyof the senate will have
to vote for submission if the
Itlon is submitted, and there
E are. Looks like Col. Ball

The Tribune regrets very much
that Granger will not be in the
Central Texas League, after such
a good showing at the beginning
of the organization. Bartlett
started in from the beginning
with the intention of making
good, and things look very favor-
able. Players are coming in on
almost evry train, and with work
men busily engaged each day at
the park on the grandstand, all
will be ready for the first game
on the 8th day of May. It is
said by the players who have ar-
rived for try outs that Bartlett
will have one of the smoothest
in and out fields in the league.
You should have come in Gran-
ger, the water's fine.
There are 300.000 babies die
each year in the United States,
and the Children's Bureau at
Washington says that one-half of
all these deaths would not occur
'if individuals and communities
applied those measures of hy-
giene and sanitation which are
known to be available." There
is no question of the correctness
of this startling estimate, as it
has been absolutely verified by
the government. Miss Julia C.
Lathrop, Chief of the Children's
Bureau; comments that "it was
once thought that a high infant
death rate indicated a greater
degree of vigor in the survivors."
But this old-fashioned fallacy
has been exploded; and when the
public gives the same attention
to the conditions surrounding the
raising, of babies as has been
furnished by the government to
hogs and other animal life, -then
this terribly needless loss of 150,-
000 babies each year will be
checked.
As is the old saying, "life is
just one thing after another."
You walk down the street and
on one corner your attention is
attracted by Mexican war con-
versation, the other side of the
street holds agood baseball talk,
while the farmer looks peevish
and wonders if he'll have to re-
plant cotton.
Always remember that you
have your Knocker worried or
he wouldn't take the, Jirae to
knock you.
The World Grows Better
Much of the prevailing tone
would lead one to believe that
God has abdicated is off on a
vacation, and is letting the devil
run the whole shop.
That's a dangerous spirit for
the believer to possess. It leads
him to one of two attitudes; to
utter despair, as the ancient
Elijah under the juniper tree. or
to persistent crusading, as the
ancient Saul of Tarsus, who shut
up the saints in prison and gave
his voice against them when they
were put to death.
The right attitude for the be
lieveris to trust God to make
perfect the edieme of things.
God never takes a vacation. He
has his plans drawn and is caus
ing all things Jto work together
for good. It is his world; he
made it and he is perfecting it
by processes of his own choos
ing. The person who doesn't
believe that needs a fresh bap
tism of faith.
The world is better today than
it was yesterday or the day be
fore that it is getting better all
the time. "Go and stand by the
sea-beach, and you will think
that the ceasleas flux and reflux
is but retrogression equal to the
advance. But look again in an
hour's time, and the whole ocean
has advanced. Every advance
has been beyond the last, and
every retrograde movement has
been imperceptibly a trifle less
than the last. This is prog-
gress; to be estimated at the end
of hours, not minutes." So with
the triumph of goodness; there
is constant advance. To exhibit
impatience is to imitate the
ancient Peter when he drew his
sword and cut off the ear of the
priest's servant. Success in
religious endeavor is conditioned
on one's believing that
God's in His Heaven
All's right with the world!
Ninety seven Congressmen
voted to reduce their own salar-
ies from $7,500 to 6,000 a few
days ago but there were 205 in
opposition, and had there been
anv roal danger of this proposi
tion going through, about ninety
of the ninety-seven would have
found a speedy method of chang-
ing their votes. The Represen
tatives as a rule are very much
impressed with their own great
ness, and their confidential opin-
ion is that they are "working"
altogether too cheap. A few
years ago legislators throughout
the country started in to advo
cate cutting out railroad passes,
direct primaries, restricted cam
paign contributions, and a lot of
other things they never wanted.
But the public took up the sug-
gestions, and so thoroughly ap
proved, that the public servant!
had to carry the propositions
through in order to save their
jobs. But the lesson does not
seem to have sunk home, and the
Congressmen who are still trying
to jolly the voters with the notion
that thoy are genuine reformers,
will wake Jup some day to the
fact that the country thoroughly
approves the idea of a cut in
their salaries and then they are
going to be very, very sorry.
Some of the members will get so
mad that they will conclude
"they can't afford it," and will
go back home and practice law,
and if they are lucky many of
them will get about half of that
six thousand when they have to
depend on the results of private
real rustling.
We have just read in the Mc-
Gregor Mirror that R. P. Cates.
editor of the Bartlett Tribune
and real estate agent, has had a
hand in selling a $38,000 farm.
Now, why in the world does a
man that owns as good a paper
as the Tribune, located in as
good a town as Bartlett want to
go off over the country selling
real estate. There isn't a thing
but money in it. Manor Enter-
prise. The answer i3 easy. The Trib-
une is published in one ot the
best towns in Texas, whero the
merchants believe so strongly in
advertising that the editor does
not have to spend seven days in
the week beggino:. for their bus-
iness. Nothing like having the
business men as associate editors.
Whiie there will likely be a lot
of "moose hunting" in the
United States in season, yet the
four-Jegged kind up in Alaska
has been covered by an order of
the federal government restrict-
ing killing until April 1, 1916.
Big came hunting has lured
thousands of rich young men into
the grip of the Arctic. Let's
see, it was one of these, Harry
Payne Whitney, who furnished
Dr. Frederick A. Cook his grub
stake, enabling tho latter to pre-
sent the American people with
what looked like a "pole" to him
and a "gold brick" to Peary.
The action of the government in
protecting moose is important,
and it is a pity such measures
were not applied to the preser
vation of the buffalo, pigeon and
seals, which were routed from
land, air and sea.
It is the aim and the earnest
desire of the Tribune to give the
respective candidates for gov-
ernor a fair deal as to publicity,
it matters not what the editor's
personal views are. They will
be given in ample time to re
neve tne cunousity or nis many
inends ( .')
The old-fashioned man who
used to stay home at night and
read books now has a son who
stays down town at night and
and reads programs and menu
cards.

Nutriline
The Undisputed Leader Whore Quality is the Prime Consideration
What to feed in order to obtain the most satisfac.
tory results at tho least possible cost, has been and al-
ways will be one of the most important problems confront-
ing the feeders of livestock.
NUTRILINE is composed of first-class alfalfa meal,
corn chops, cotton seed, rice bran, molasses, and a small
percentage of salt, so mixed that the nutritive raito will be
in comformance with the standards laid down by the
United States Government. The fact that all the ingre-
diants are easily digestiable in their natural condition is
known to all feeders. Since Nutriline is steam cooked,
it is predigested, hence is more easily digested than it
would be in its natural condition.
