With next weeks issue the first

ter the 30th year of its publication
Excepting about one year the first
year of its existence the paper has
been owned and published and edited
by the present publisher up to date
without change a record few Nebras
ka weeklies can duplicate Its life be
gan with the platting of the townsite
indeed its first issue was printed in
Culbertson for lack of quarters in the
It may not be too
much to state that The Tribune has
played a modest and earnest part in
the development of McCook and Red
Willow county The measure of its
accomplishment must be estimated by
others the record made is an open
one The past may be taken as an
earnest of the future It will con
tinue to be our highest aim to give
McCook and Red Willow county a
newspaper of substantial worth and
thus to merit their continued confi
dence and patronage

Whereas God Almighty has given
to every man one mouth to be fed
and one pair of hands adapted to fur

can be proved to be the will of heav
en it is proved by this fact that that
mouth is to be fed by those hands
without being interfered with by any
other man who has also his mouth to
feed and his hands to labor with I
hold if the Almighty had ever made
a set of men that should do all the
eating and none of the work He
would have made them with mouths
only and no hands and if He had
made another class that He intend
ed should do all the work and none o
the eating He would have made them

The high school auditroium was in
adequate to the demand for seats last
evening on tha auspicious occasion
of the senior class exercises of the
class of 11 It has been some time
since there has baen a class day pro
giam and this one has the added dis
tinction of being unique not only uni
que but clever
The class program indicated that
A little nonsense now and then is
relished by the wisest men and
this suggested the character of the
senior offering It was in lighter
vein throughout facetiae without vit
riol dainty personal hits sans risque
and kept the audience and especially
those who understood more intimatelj
the points in a roar of merriment
To attempt to repeat or type any
of it would meet with the disaster
which accompanies the irreverent
who essay repeating good jokes or
stories the flavor would be lacking
Following is the program of the
evening

It is but necessary to add that each
senior came up to the high standard
of expectancy of the audience ex
hibiting an originality and initiative
quite unusual and aside from the pro
ductions of high school senior classes
The result was highly complimentary
to the seniors and to the faculty and
places McCook high school on the
map in vivid and virile colors
