Bartlett is progressing splen-
didly but what we need to push
the town forward at a more rap-
id rate is team work. Let us
have co-operation intelligent ef-
fort and understanding. The
days when only the old heads
were presumed to have intelli-
gence and all others supposed
to obey orders blindly are gone.
Because you can't have every-
thing your own way don't kick
tover the traces and sull. Co-
operative effort heartily entered
into can accomplish wonders.
The Tribune offers many sug-
gestions from time to time and
space in this paper is freely of-
fered to all who have any sug-
gestions to make for the good
of the town and community.
The Tribune stands ready at all
times to join in any worthy co-
operative effort. The Tribune
never sulls because things do not
always go to its liking. Let's
-l'Mriy"-asidc our'personal views
mid join in co-operative efforts
to make Bartlett a bigger and
better town in which to live and
do business.
Stores of Bartlett merchants
are replete with Easter novel-
ties some of them exceedingly
beautiful. The great feast of
the Resurrection will be com-
memorated Sunday next April
20 and it will be fittingly ob-
served by the various churches
here so far as the Tribune
knows.
Hot summer months are com-
ing. The most practical hot
weather costume is a tub full of
cold water.
NATIONAL GARDEN WEEK
The week April 20-26 is call-
ed "National Garden Week."
If you want to appear in a dis
tinguished and patriotic light
on that occasion you must make
a public exhibition of your'self
operating a spade. It will lame
up the muscles of some of the
easy chair folks but they will
acquire considerable renown
among their neighbors.
"God made the first garden
while Cain made the first city."
The lrian who wrote that may
have had a prejudice against
town life but it remains true
that contact with the sou con-
veys a certain inspiration. Gar-
deners are commonly hopeful
people who can get enjoyment
out of their experiences evep if
they movlove some labor.
Millions of people at the pres-
ent time feel that they can de-
vote all their time when not ac-
tually working on their regular
jobs to soprts amusements and
diversions. Whether this thing
pan be done or not indefinitely
is a question.
The practical result is that
they neglect those arts by which
in all former ages people have
raised families and maintained
homes. It would seem likely
that by this narrowing down
their sources of income while
their expenditures are increas-
ed many of them would get into
financial difficulties.
The people who cultivate a
taste for gardening are in a po-
sition to subtract a considerable
outlay from their cost of living.
Fresh xegetables and fruits in
duce them ot eat more of these
articles subtsituting them to
some extent for more costly
foods. Also they become more
healthy their improved physi-
cal condition enables them to
enjoy life better and it does
not take so many costly amuse-
ments to keep them going. It
looks like good business and
health policy to run a garden.
Hence the Tribune shouts
vigorously for National Garden
Week.

Lynch Davidson candidate for
governor spoke here at the Al-
amo Theater Thursday morning
at 10:30 o'clock addressing a
good size crowd of citizens. He
was introduced by Dr. T. B.
Benson who spoke in glowing
terms of Mr. Davidson's career
as a business man and as one
who was capable of being man-
ager of the slate's affairs and
hoped that he would be the next
governor' of Texas.
"The people of Texas have
made up their minds that the
day of the politicians was over
and henceforth there would be
more business in their govern-
ment" Mr. Davidson said
More business in government
and less government in business
is his platform.
"The state is a big business
and the citizens are stockhold-
ers" Mr. Davidson said. "I
am asking to be elected its man-
ager." Discussing first issues
that he said had been created by
other candidates Mr. Davidson
said: "They say that I am a
rich man and that riches do not
entitle a man to office. I quite
agree but some competence
gained by hard work and profit-
ing by experience is indication
that I am a success and not a
failure.
He declared his opposition to
"groups and blocs" attacking
first the Ku Klux Klan nnd then
'the Farmer-Labor 'union' which
he characterized as "socialism"
and a new name for Non-Part-isanism.
He dismissed the klan
issue by merely slating that he
favored administration of jus-
tice by the constituted authori-
ties and in the court house and
would do all he could to "termi-
nate" the activities of the klan
in the state if elected governor.
The Non-Partisan league is
'as bad or more dangerous than"
the klan he said. "In Texas it
is parading under the name of
the Farm-Labor union." He as-
serted that he wanted "to bo
sure to distinguish" himself
from T. W. Davidson who has
accepted the nomination of this
party and warned the farmers
and laboring men that the party
"is a little political group of
misfits" who do not represent
"home loving farmers or labor-
ers." "Nobody" he said "can tell
fanners how to raise nice or
raise it cheaper and these bu-
reaus ought to be abolished. I
believe co-opcrativp marketing
however is a step in the right
direction and favor also a sys-
tem of warehouses." Touching
oil the labor question lie admit-
ted that "labor may have been
too militant at times" buo he
said "it would have been in a
state of peonage if it had fol
lowed any other course than it
has. Labor should have the
right to organize and work to its
own interests but should have
no right to ovvereach anyodby
else."
He saw "Sovietism" in the
Farmer-Labor union and said ho
could not "pander or contract
with any group before election
because to do this would wreck
the government if I or anyone
were elected and tried to carry
out the contract. This group
first attacks the constitution by
wanting to eliminate the 35
cent limit on property taxes.
That means take the limit off.
They want the state to go into
the insurance business. If the
4000 penitentiary inmates work
ing free and the plants tax ex-
empt cost the state a million
dollars a year what would the
7000 paid insurance employes
cost the state?"
He said the penitentiary can
be made to pay a million dollars
a year and should be subject to
reforms. "It is now losing a
million a year. I believe we
ought to put the convicts on the
major highways and have a cen-
trally located prison to give vo-
cational training to those not
physically fit for road work. We
should maintain tho highways

Come out and pull for the boys.
with section houses and give
the dismissed convicts a chance
for rehabiliation."
Mr. Davidson estimated that
the state could be saved $10-
000000 a year. Replying to
the doubts of his opponents he
said they say they don't seev
how. I admit they couldn't do
it." He denied f that he would
economize on 'education but
'would seek to better the schools.
"There is a leak of two and a
half millions in the school ap-
propriations. I would not save
this but give six months schools
as the constitution requires."
He is opposed to tho multi-
plicity of Jaws saying there are
now 132000 on the statue books
and favored renealimr "two ev
ery time they make one" and
"taking the first sixty days off
to repeal all tho laws we can."
He also looked forward to a joint
senate-house committee to "sim-
plify and reduce taxes."
To Every Woman Who Uses Oil for fuel
What Red Star has done for the oil stove is utterly be-
yond comprehension until you see the newest model illus-
trated above. Wicks have ben done away with of course.
The patented Red Star Burner uses common oil an dcooks
with a wonderful gas heat as you know. But now in ad-
dition Red Star offers you fourteen remarkable improve-
ments upon which the government has granted patent
rights. ljjfj Jr
Note the sanitary streamline consAruction the white por-
celain and enamel finish. Bolts screws hinges cracks
crevices and corners have been eliminated. Oven door is
flush with invisible hinges. A damp cloth keeps it clean.
A double-flue Ozone oven gives perfect baking results. And
these arc only a few of the many improvements.
Why be content with and old-fashioned stove? This mod-
em improved Red Star is moderately pricved. Come in
and see a demonstration. iMy
