Some industries employ con siderable labor while tjie capital invested in plant is nomiual. Other industries require large capital and employ few. To il lustrate the point in view visit a flouring , mill and , a steam laundry. There are several in dustries that could be. operated here with , comparatively small capital that would add material ly to our weekly pay rolls. - - i. There is yet time to organize a canning factory, and have it reat'y, to handle the coming crop. A canning plant would furnieh a home market for all the peas, beans, and small fruits this valhy produces.
