THIRD ANNUAL TRADES DAYS
Inauguration of the third annual Trades Days in
Bartlett Saturday will doubtless be welcomed by
people in Bartlett's trade territory. In putting on
the Trades Days the merchants of Bartlett are
merely expressing their appreciation to the citizens
of this section for their patronage.
The Trades Days also constitute a form of val-
uable advertising for Bartlett. That advertising is
as essential to the growth of towns as to the growth
of private business concerns is no longer a debat-
able question.
Bartlett has a potential trade territory equal to
that possessed by few towns twice its size. It is the
logical trading center for a large and thickly popu-
lated territory inhabitated by substantial and pro-
gressive citizens.
Bartlett should realize the possibilities that exist
for steady growth and expansion. United action
on the part of the business firms and citizens will
make possible this much desired growth.
v DESERVING OF SUPPORT
There is no denying the fact that the athletic
teams of the Bartlett High School have not received
during the past few seasons the support they were
justly entitled to from citizens of this community.
Little incentive has existed for the boys to give
their best to the athletic contests when only a few
citizens of the community were ever present at the
games tb show their interest in the' home team and
to encourage the boys to strive for victory.
While the Tribune takes the position that at all
athletics should be kept secondary to the ma
jor purpose of the school and that care should be
taken to see that athletics are not over emphasized
within the school system it nevertheless realizes
that a decisive need exists today for more interest
on the part of local citizens in the athletic teams of
the high school.
As the Bulldogs' football season opens citizens
of EJartlett should resolve to renew their interest in
the local team by attending the games and oy their
Dresence encourage the boys in this form of whole-
some athletic competition.

COMMENTS
Harry Gilstrap astute Gran-
ger political leader was in Bart-
lett Tuesday afternoon confer-
ring with Postmaster Rowntree
on the probable effects of the
Maine election results.
It was announced at the con-
clusion of the conference that
the old saying "As Maine goes
so goes the nation" would not
hpld true this year.
When was the present water
well of Bartlett brought in? is
a question that is being heated-
ly debated in the barber shops of
the town. The debated date often
varies as much as five years. t
Anyone supplying positive
proof of the exact date would
render a real service .toward the
restoration of peace and har-
mony in the barber shops of the
town'.

tumble-down porches and such

P
SAGA OF AN EMPIRE AT.TEXAS CENTENNIAL
Representatives of the Taylor Daily Press were
in Bartlett Monday attempting to sell advertising
to Bartlett merchants to be run in The Taylor Press.
The Tribune is at a loss t o understand why the Tay-
lor Press believes that Bartlett merchants could
profit by placing advertising in the Taylor paper.
It is undoubtedly true that Taylor merchants re-
ceive a somewhat liberal patronage from the peo-
ple of Bartlett's trade territory but if the people of
Taylor ever patronize the merchants of Bartlett it
has entirely escaped the attention of The Tribune.
The Taylor Press is indeed optimistic to believe
that Bartlett merchants could ever offer sufficient
inducement to get the people of Taylor to trade in
Barlett.
The Tribune furthermore doubts seriously if
Press' advertising merchants in Taylor appreciate
the fact The Press is offering to sell advertising to
Bartlett merchants in the Press at the rate of 25c
per column inch while The Press charges the mer-
chants of Taylor 40c per column inch. The Tri-
bune believes that the Taylor merchants will be
justified in insisting that in view of their loyal sup
port of The Press they are entitled to at least the
same consideration shown out-of-town merchans
in the matter of advertising rates.
While The Tribune has never refused to accept
any legitimate advertising offered under the pres-
ent management it has never given a lower adver-
tising rate to out-of-town merchants than was given
to the merchants of Bartlett. The Tribune appre-
ciates the support it receives from the merchants of
Bartlett and assures its patrons that any favors it
has to bestow will be given merchants of Bartlett
and not to any out-of-town merchants.
