one will come forward and give him work.

The army hopes TO open such shelter

opened branch barracksin the southwest

The local cycling outlook for the coming
spring and summer is exceedingly bright
at present. Not only are the bicycle
dealers confident that the interest in
wheeling will surpass that of last year,
but the wheelmen themselves share that
opinion. The value of the splendid recrea-
tlon, both from physical and mental
standpoint, has become too well recog-

prophet must needs forecast a dismal

casual observer there seems rather an in

already discussing plans for the approach
ing season. During the past season there
was big increase in the lumber of wheel

work, the time has been very profitahly
employed in the enjoyment of social pleas
