SUBSCRIPTION PRICK: Ono nr, In advance ?2.00 Fit I DA V, JULY 20th, 1921 KDITOIUA1. Weiara getting tired of watering our -.lawn all of tho tltno, day und night. It seems that tho weather is following pretty dlosoly along tho linos laid down for it by Woathormnn Shilling. Why don't ho predict a rain and aae if wo wouldn't got ono. Wo 'really need rain. Anyono Who will impress this on Pa Shilling will con for a favor on the wholo commun ity. " The Tribune heartily connnonds tho suggestion that North Platte day he eolobrnted at tho Platto Hlvor Round Up. Wo should got a largo dole-nation from hero and attond in a body. In ordor that tho pcoplo at tho ltound-Up may know who wo aro and why wo nro there wo would suggest that somo badgo or ornament bo worn which would onablo ovoryono attending from horo to bo known at sight. Tho fact that tho ltound-Up is being hold on tho old John'Brntt ranch links it up with North Platto and hor people Tho fact that It is attracting wldo intorcsl over tho Missouri valley should re commend It to our peoplo. Tho room at C04 Dowey, formerly occupied by tho Walker Music Co. is being put in shape for'a now storo. It 1b to bo a clothing storo, owned and managed byl Edward W. Iloynolds, formorly of tho Edwards-Itoyn6lds Co. Mr. Iloynolds says ho has bought a stock of ready-mado suits and over coals and that ho will ho open for business, about August 10. Ho will not carry any kind of men's furnishings but will conflno his entire attontion to suits and coats. lie oxpects to tnko orders for tho finer grades of tailor mado goods, in addition to tho roady mado lines which ho will carry in stock, This is a now vonturo in a city of this slzo and may bo a big succoss from tho start. All tho big cities havo specialists in clothing for men nnd Mr Reynolds boliovca that North Platto can support such a storo and ho in going to put his bellof into practico. Wo havo no Information recently alKint tho progress on tho Salos Pa vilion. It Booms that somo stockmen subscribed for stock on tho conditio,! that no North Platto business or pro fessional men bo allowed to tnlcn stock. When this was anuouncod It was disappointing to some Nortli Platto, men who had wanted to show their interest in tho enterprise. How- over it was somewhat encouraging as Vt seemed to show tho determination of tho farmers and stockmon to carry the building through to a successful finish. Then enmo tho announcement that tho stand tnkon by thoso farmoru ' was disavowed by such groups as the (Lincoln County Horoford Brooders' Association and that tho subscriptions should ho opon to anyono who wanted to see tho building put up. And thoro It stands as far as wo havo havo any knowledge Wo would llko to hoar tlfcit tho officors aro working away on tho project nnd that It will ho n real ity by tho time it Is needed. Tho maturo women of North Platto Bhould como to tho front and oifor tholr services to tho CampHro Council as guadlaiiB of camp Are groupB Young ladies and oldor girls havo dona flno and aro needed but tho backbone of camp flro is bound to bo with ths mothors. Not nil mothers win hmo good guardians but somo of thorn wilj and it should bo loft to tho judgment of. the Council to docldo. Wo under stand thoro nro now somo campflro groups without guardians and somo that should ho organlzod but cannot be formed until guardians have boon Hocurod. Toachors mako good assist ants but unloss tboy live horo they can only havo varied success as loaders bocauBO of tho broak that comos ovory summor Just when tho largest actlvl ties of tho group will como. For ,tlu largest measure of continued loador eblp In campflro work it takes tho Bor- vlccs of successful mothers as lead ors. Until thoso can bo socurod tho results will not always bo satisfactory If a voto of all paronts could bo tak- on,- most ot thom would say that tho nvorago boy from 12 to 18 Is lazy. Most boys aro accustomed to hoar olthor father or mother or both toll thom they aro lazy. Somo boys got us ed1 to it ami got to thinking thoy ro- nlly uro lazy. But it Is not Btrictly truo. Somo boys may bo lazy but thoy aro fow. What roally is tho matter with boya is that thoy aro Just bolng real boys -thoy don't know what thoy aro do)ng part ot tho timo, thoy don't know Vhy thoy do It nnd thoy don't know what thoy will do noxt.

They fool It nnd thoy like it. Now whon somo grown porson stops in and attempts to change thom from almlossnoBs to direction thoy rebel and Bomotlmos Jhil to respond to this diroctlon. Then they nro called lazy. A boy who will play hnrd is not lazy. Ho only needs timo to dovolop and leadership in tho right direction and ho will bo a man to bo proud of.
