Christmas Festival of St Johns Church will be held next Tuesday evening at 7 30 All are cordi ally invited We call the attention of our read ers to an essay in this issue entitled School Government as we consider it worty of the careful perusal of all WHY SOT HAVE A PICKLE JFAO TOJEY IX VALENTINE 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 40toJ100 per acre in the east cap- not farmers compete with them here on land- worth 10 per acre If the citizens of Valentine havoi a desire to see the town grow and made prosperous it must endevar 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 anvthinsr is to -be i vH 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 fine young city characterized for its cleanliness healthliness fine cli mate pure water diversified scenery and all the necessary pre requisites for a thriving town Will our business men look at this in its true light and jput forth at least enough energy to properly investigate this matter The columns of the Independent are always open for anyone who has any project that would be of interest or benefit to Valentine and Cherry coun ty THE DESIOHEST SILVElt MBBAi CONTEST Last Saturday evenings entertain ment at the M E Church brought out a full house Mrs S Moon who 7has charge of the contests this being the tenth one seems tpbe the right person for the position the work of the Legion is one in which she is especial ly interested The folio wing young ladies contested for the silver medal Alma Carlson Subject The Martyr ed Mother Lottie Hubbard Sub ject A voice from the Poor House Ina Flowers Subject Young Amer icas War cry Daisy Stilwell Sub jet The cry of To day Isis Lincoln Subject Prohibition the hope of our Country Abby Razey Subject Moral suasion or Prohibition The Independent will not particu larize on the various contestants as this duty was assigned to the follow iug gentlemen judges who decided the case upon its merrits Dr Waterson T C Hornby and Dr C A Wells We would only say that it was regarded as a very even contest and had some of the participants more thorougly 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 am- that wondering boy Mrs W L Cassady of Chadron was present and took part in the enterta in ment Mrs Kamey in a few well chosen remarks presented the silver medal to Miss Abby Razey Miss Daisy Stilwell was marked second best - -- rrtiiir T Pigs for sale fice Inlvmrnlyrt We do not ask sympathy but we demand
