Pickle factories have been a success in other places why could not one be made so here If farmers can afford to raise pickles on land worth from 40 to 100 per acre in the east can not farmers compete with them here on land worth 10 per acre If the citizens of Valentine hnvo a desire to see the town grow and made prosperous it must endevor to build up or encouragae the building up of some kind of industries that will help out the farmers who so largely support the town Who will take hold of this question at once and if necessary call a meeting to assertain what a plant would cost and whether there is real enterprise enough to push the project to completion which would without doubt be to success Now is the time to do it if anything is to -be done as it requires time to perfect an organization and transack the business preparatory to starting the enterprise Valentine is fast gaining a reputation as a tine young city characterized for its cleanliness healthliness fine cli mate

suasion or Prohibition The Independent will not particu larize on the various contestants as this duty was assigned to the follow ing gentlemen judges who decided the case upon its merrits Dr Waterson T C Hornby aud Dr C A Wells We would only say that it was regarded as a very even contest and had some of the participants more thorough memorized their selections and taken more time in delivering the result might have been different Rapid delivery is not essential and should be avoided until other and more import ant points are mastered Expres sion should be the first great point sought after by the young speaker then speed and other features may be acquired We shall expect to see an improvement in this one point at least at the next contest Rev O L Ramsey favored the meeting with a solo I
