A Voice From kanras.

EDITOR CHIEF:-I see your city has
organized a commercial or business
club, if properly managed it will be Of
great benefit to your city and the sur
rounding country. We would suggest
FIRST the improvements of the roads
leading to your city, by so doing you
will aid your hog and grain market.
Where people 20 to market their
grain and stock there they usually
spend their money. Don't mistake
the Roman saying. that all roads lead
to Red Cloud. The people IN thi.
part are getting tired of travelling
roads that have meyer been worked.
The roads to the state line on the
Kansas side have been worked in good
shape, From the state line in Neb.
raska to the river bottom the roads
are in u deplorable condition. When
the roads are made good and people
come in trains to your city treat them
with. By so doing you will hold
your trade and gain a business rep.
u~tation second to nc city in the west.
We would also suggest the liberal use
Of printers ink. Let the people know
what you have for sale and what your
prices are. Quick sales and small pre-
fits should ever be your motto.
WhOrp up the creamery, the canning
factory. Stir up another railraad or
two; that will give Us competition in
freight and passenger rates. We
would also suggest the renewal Of the
daily mail from Red Cloud to Cora,
Kansas, then we could get daily mar.
kets from your city to eastern cities
as we'll. Quite a number of our peo
pie we're taking advantage Of low
prices advertised in The CHEF OIL
last week. Health is usually good il
this neck of the woods. Stock il
winter nicely. People are beginning
to prepare for spring work. We hat
a fine rain the last two days Of Jan
uary and a nice snow the sixth of Feb
ruarJ. y. M. Is.

M. r.. NOTES.

A. G. HosMER:-Dear friend and edi
tor, the Great Family Weekly has. gen.
erously opened to me ample room in the
past in which, with the best Of motives
i have written notices, notes and obser.
vations for the information OF your null.
titude of readers, both at home and
abroad with "A view of helping to keep
our city alive and moro especially to
thank and compliment the faithful
church workers and givers. but il has
come to me that | have given offence
and as | desire the good will and friend.
ship Of all our townsmen and hat only
the best things shall came to them one

Tho Bicycle and the Corset.

The Paris correspondent Of the Lon.
don Truth says that the long yexed ques-
ton Of tho corset is in a way to be set
tied once and for all. Neither doctors
nor rational dress reformers will earn
the credit Of the change, thanks being
due to the cycle only. Cycle tailors and
trainers in Paris are dead set against the
corset.
"There'sn no answering for your safety.
madame" says the trainer, "if you
must 60 on keeping your conventional
figure. You need every muscle in your
body and every muscle free. A ceinture
just deep enough to sustain the waist.
band Of your knicks (knickerbockers.
pronounced "~kneeks") is all I can al
low you. Indeed the knicks should be
30 light as hardly to weigh on the hips.
The cycling dress should be so light and
elastic that in wearing it one should
scarcely feel dressed were it not for the
warmth"
We look in Paris OF q gown wearing
woman on q cycle as q sprawling carl
catural creature. with no sense Of fitness.
