Signs of spring aro to bo soon.
The sap Ik running In the box older
and soft maple trcos. Slight tlngo
of groou aro soon on some of tho
warmer lawns, tho rod wing, robin
and moadowlark have roturncd from
tho south nnd tho boys aro playing
marblos.
Tho cook books Issued by tho
ladlos of tho Methodist church last
fall aro on salo at Illnckors and
Nowtons. Anyono from out of town
can securo copies by Bending to either
of thoso firms. Tho second edition
has boon printed and they aro being
offorsd in an art paper binding In
olthor brown or groy and in a .black
oilcloth binding. No cook book
published in North Platlo recently
has had as wido a sale as has this
ono in tho short tltno It has boon
Issued.
This county noeds rain. Thoro
was a doflcloncy In tho total amount
of rainfall last yoar of almost one
third tho usual amount and thoro
has boon a doflcloncy during both
January and Fobruary of this yoai-.
If tho ground thaws out without n
rain or snow, tho winter wheat will
bo soriously damaged and all kinds
of spring work will bo dolaycd. Ono
farmor who found his winter wheat
brown, dug up sovoral plants and
took them into tho houso anu
.watered them. Thoy camo out and
aro malclnc flno green plants so ho
docs not thing that tho wheat Is dead
ovon If It Is brown. Thoro is yot
plonty of tlmo for most of tho wheat
but wo must havo molsturo boforo
long if wo aro to got a full crop.
Taxes miiBt como down. Thoro Is
a lot of scntlmont nbout somo of the
various actlvltlos of our government
nnd thoso lead us to Bay that thoy
rro worth tho money. If wo woro
to grant that there Is no wasto, nor
oxtravagenco nor graft In any way
In any part of our govornment wo
would still say that taxes must como
down. Wo' aro nQt conducting pub
4I0 business as wo do our private
business or olso wo aro neuror bank
ruptcy than wo think wo aro. When
a Bchool or n city or a county or a(
stato or a nation spends moro than
it takes in it cannot continue long
to pay Its dobta. You cannot mako
good citizens of our taxpayers when
thoy aro drlvon to robollion every
time thoy go to pay tholr taxes. Bubi
noss at a tjtnndstlll, ronts out of all
proportion, school, and, pity warr
ants bolng registered and drawing
oxcosslvo intorest and discount, prop
erty transfern practically stoppod,
monoy lntorost high and resources
tied up; that Is tho story of high
lax9 and until each unit from the
school district to tho nation gets
back to a sano basis of joxpondlturos
thoro .will bo no roturn of prosperity
TaxoB must como down. '
Tho Tribune editor believes that
tho best Inlorosts of all tho pcoplo
of Lincoln county would bo sorved 1
by announcing at tills tlmo that North
Platto Will not undortako to COlo-
brato tho Fourth of July by any kind
of n community oftort Thoro nro a
number of communities in tho county.

which would Uko to colobrato tho
Fourth but thoy cannot do so whon
part of tholr pooplo com6 to North
Platto. So thoy havo had to glvo
up to North Platto for sovoral ydars.
Now North Platto should glvo up to
them. Wo would Hko to go some
whoro olso this yoar. It has boon
proposod that wo havo somo gooa
auto races horo on that day but this
has mot with opposition. It was
proposod to havo a gonulno wild
wost and ono promotor has boon
hefto during tho past weok Booking
to put on his show but ho did not ro
colvo much oncouragemont. It waB
BUggostcd that a pageant would bo
tho propor way to colobrato tho
birth of our nation but no planB havo
yet boon made. Each of tho ideas
suggested has had as it basis tho
making of monoy by somo organiza
tion. Thoro Is no doubt but that
thoso organizations need tho money
but thoro is somo doubt if tho Fourth
of July Is tho tlmo to mako it. Wo
bcllovo that tho other communities
In this county should bo given tho
right of way this year and that
North Platto so announce at once.
Let North Platto go visiting this
yoar and bco what a good whole
soulod colobratlon tho other parts of
tho county can put on.
