SHOULD ACT

Graye charges have been filed
against one Of Greeleys best-knoWn
real estate men, z. T. Baker IN the
district court of this county; charges
that vitality AFFECT his integrity as a
bnsiness man. Few, ii any persons
who know Mr. Baker believe that
the charges have any foundation IN
fact. They are looked upon rather
as the probable work Of pettiiogger
looking for q job.
Nevertheless. the charges are
there, a matter OF court record, in
ploin black and white, and as such
ir is not the duty of the newspapers
to suppress them. but to treat the
case as any other matter of interest
that occurs. 1t is the mission of
daily newspaper to give the news,
and play no fayorites And the
Tribune does not intend to play any
favorltes. except in case OF some
young girl who gets into trouble

an underplus of head

THINK OF 1T

Have YOU thought OF this, you
owners of business property-wh
it means for your lot in the heart of
the business district to be disgraced
by little two-by-four shack while
on either side OF you are springing up
structures that are an ornament and
credit to the city,
From a business standpoint can
you afford to let your opportunities
and property interests slide like this
From a standpoint of civic pride
should you allow your shacks to
depreciate the values of property
where other citizens are investing
their dollars?
These questions are pertinent and
are in line with ths present move
ment for growth in appearance and
size of the downtown sections. Some
OF the central streets have assumed
businesslike aspect, but they are
dotted here and there by miserable
makeshifts for buildings that the av-
erage man should be ashamed to own
are his. Each man has his right to
build whatsoever he pleases, this is
true. But it is a constitutional OBJ
legation that each man in pursuing
his own will and pleasure should not
interfere with or depreciate the ef-
forts that are being made by any
other man
The city needs more business build.

mand for an ornate and elaborate

OUR FARM METHODS BEST
Hungarian Expert Says This District Is Ahead Of
Eastern States

Louis Szafian. agricultural expert
from Enrod, Hungary, passed through
Greeley Wednesday evening enroute
TO Grand Junction, after having made
a tour of inspection through the
Greeley district in the interest OF q
rational society of Hungary which he
is representing in this country in
his study of agricultural pursuits.
S2afan is working AS he studies. to
pay his expenses, and also to get first
practical knowledge of American
farming.
Mr.. Szatian says the Colorado
farmers are ahead of other farmers
in the application of modern meth
ods to production and that their sys-
TENS are much better than those of
the farmers through the east. Szaiian
has worked in Canada. New York.
Nebraska and Kansas. His last EN-
ployment before coming to northern
Colorado was near Omaha.

WHAT?

II is refreshing to consider that
Greeley has real live mystery to
solve. Mysteries add spice to the
scheme of things. Before the author
OF the mysterious letter &c" beside
the doorways OF many Greeley homes
appears to give some commonplace
explanation as to the why of it, there
is something for each of us to think
about-for each of us to explain in
our own way.
why the seventh letter of the al
phabet should have been CHOSEN is a
part of the mystery. 1t stands Tor
Greeley" Good" Great" "Gul-
lible, Grand Greedy" "Golosh,' p
Gopher and many other things.
But it isn't probable that in this case
it stands for either of these. In fact
the letter seems to stand for itself
alone and it tells something to some
body.
1t offers evidence to us that even
the most staid communities are living
wheels within wheels 1t demon,
strates to us that there are perplexins
things in the social scheme of things
1t is evidence that while we are o

crets of the success of the Greeley
potatoes The maturing season so far
has been fine. The growers look tor

die of the month passed without the
sign of freeze and the potatoes have
had couple of weeks stay in the
