Don't spend your money
surance in some company you
know nothing about. You know
plenty of good companies and re
sponsible men to deal with who
can be found if you have a loss.
Spend your money with them.
Why not get I. M. Rice to write
up your insurance in a reliable
company that has been in business
for years and never refused to pay
a just loss in full ? This is a safe
proposition where you are not
taking chances of spending your
money and getting nothing in re

gally elected mayor of the city ;

Luke Bates , who used to live
here , was up from Long Pine last
week and spent a couple of day
visiting friends in our city. When
he went home he had the following
to say in his paper , The Long Pine
Journal , about Valentine :
"The publisher of this family
necessity made a visit to his old
home this week just dropped ev
erything , left the busy hum of
city life behind him and hiked for
Valentine , the home of his youth.
As a matter of fact he lived in a
number of places in the course of
his youth , but Valentine has al
ways had a warm place ia his heart
because it was a live town. He
found this week that it had not
changed its character. Every time
one sees Valentine after an absence
of a few years he finds that there
has been advancement and im
I
provement. Some of the things
noted there may be of value and
interest to those at home.
"Valentine is a thriving little
city of handsome stores. There is H
no one in business there who is a-
f raid to spend the money he makes.
There are big stone store build
ings probably more expensive
than cement blocks would be.
There are handsome interiors. The
First National Bank would be a
credit to a city of fifty thousand.
This is not an exaggeration it is
simply elegant , Then Valentine
has electric lights. The people
didn't hesitate to take them be
cause they would cost a little more
than oil or gasoline. They make
a fine impression on visitors. Mr.
Gilman sells house lights at $2 per
month for five 16-candle lamps ,
20c per light after that. Business
lights are 50 per cent higher. Ev
erybody uses them. Mr. Gilman
is making a good thing out of it.
The town puts on airs.
"There is a fine court house and
a fine school house , but there is
something finer than that. Listen :
Almost every house , be it large or
small , has a lawn and trees around
it. And yet Valentine is literally
builded upon the sands. See the
point ?
"There are no knockers there.
Everybody stands up for Valen
tine. Sometimes the writer thinks
be is the only man who believes in
the future of his town. Wonder
if the optimism of her citizens
doesn't help Valentine along ?
"Valentine is all right. Some
day we are going up there and I
start a pop newspaper. "
