The Tribune has never in any sense been a knocker but
has always comported itself in such a manner as to be known
as a booster but we can not afford to keep still when unnecessary
expenses are being created even under the penalty of being
called a knocker. We believe that Jake Collar was right when
lie offered the resolution suspending the Deep Fork engineer
until there is both work for him to do and funds to pay him.
We have the kindest of feeling for Mr. Wilkins and we would
.iust as soon he was drawing the unnecessary salary as any one;
but we prefer that that money stay in the pockets of the tax pay-
ers. We believe that the Collar resolution should have received
the support of Messrs. Allenbaugh and Seelig.
Next Saturday Chandler will be filled with the brightest boys
and girls of this county and for that matter the state. They
will come arrayed in their contesting suits and there is sure
to be intense, good natured rivalry. We want our pupils to de-
velop a spirit of fairness and let the best win no difference where
they come from. Another feature that should be developd is
rspect for the judges. They always have a hard position to
ii 11 and the contest is often so close that it is a matter of judg-
ment and even the audience is almost evenly divided in opinion
as to who the winner is. Whoever contests and does well is
a winner. They are developing the faculties that God has given
them and they are pleasing their friends and in so doing they
are accomplishing good. Every contestant is, in a sense, a
winner. Next Saturday will be a big event in the educational
history of Lincoln county.

The boys’ band is one of the things of which the citizenship
of Chandler is proud and the band will be devolped and will
bring much favorable notice to the city but the little boys do
not possess all the musical talent of the town. There are little
t i. ’ that can exec l:e music mi the violin and piano in such
excellent marner that an old professional would be glad to re-
produce. One of the latest achievements in this line was the
violin duet by Dorothy Hoffman and Dot Davis at the Easter
exercises of the Central Christian church at the opera house last
Sunday evening. Barring nothing, it was one of the best
musical numbers ever given in Chandler and nothing but the
fact that it was a religious worship on-Sunday evening prevent-
ed the vast audience from expressing their appreciation by
vociferous applause. It was a revelation and a surprise to even
this music loving and talent filled city. It was worth the ad-
mission price of the best entertainment that has ever visited
the town and yet it was poured out free. Beside these talented
little girls there is a large number of little girls and boys who
entertain the people every Sunday at the different churches and
at the opera house there is an orchestra that would be a credit
lo Oklahoma City or Kansas Cit\. People who are not enjoy-
ing our home talent are missing much.

Easter was obser\ed by both
church and Sunday sell* ol at the Me-
MAKE
s an orga. ization at Oklahoma City inspired by the
yood by demanding economy hut they have one object that does
not meet the approbation of the tax payers of the rest of tin'
state and tiiat is a reduction of the assessment of Oklahoma City
and in this sense tiie League is one of tax dodgers instead of
tax payers*. We can say without fear of contradiction that last
year is the first year that the proyerty in Oklahoma City was
ever assessed at anything like the relative value of the rest of
the state. We read continually of the million dollar manufac-
turing enterprises in the city, of the three million dollar pack-
ing plants and of the half million dollar sky scrapers, you might
search the tax rolls in vain for those valuations. The fact is
that there is an astute set of tax dodgers in Oklahoma City and
they are calling themselves a Tax Payers league. So long as
they confine themselves to cutting down expenses and to econo-
mizing we are with them but when it comes to reducing the value
of a sky scraper that has more investment than a township in
this county, we are against them. Those buildings have been
assessed for less than they were bonded for. We are in favor
of Oklahoma City paying its share of the taxes.
Mrs. Ura Allen entertained her
Sunday school class Saturday after-
| noon. About twenty little tots were
on band at the appointed time, they
had a merry time hunting eggs, play-
ing games, eating candy, apples and
cake. Each child was given a candy
chicken and went away happy.

WITH THE SAME EFFORT THAT HAS NETTED YOU ONE
Couldn’t Walk!
I used to be troubled with a weakness peculiar to
women,” writes Mrs. Anna Jones, of Kenny, 111. “For
nearly a year, I coulc not walk, without holding nty sides.
I tried several different doctors, but I grew worse. Finally,
our druggist advised Cardui for my complaint. I was so
thin, my weight was 115. Now, I weigh 163, and I am
never sick. I ride horseback as good as ever. 1 am in
fine health at 52 years.”
The Athenian club met last Friday |
afternoon with Mrs. MeFadden. Re- j
