Franklin 1910 Automobiles
Will Average $500 Miles
Without Tire Puncture

Do you realize that on y one per
cent of the roads in this country is
macadam; that the rest are ordinary
dirt roads?
Do you want an automobile that is
comfortable on y on macadam roads
or on all roads?
Franklins with their four full-elliptic
springs and laminated-wood chassis
frame are always comfortable. And be-
cause of their light weight and easy
riding they make better time than auto
mobiles of even greater horse power.
Franklins are easy on tires. Besides
extra large tires are used-much larger
than are used on water-cooled automo-
biles Of much greater weight. On Mod
Ell II the rear tires are 37x5 inches,
front 36x4H inches; on Model D, rear
36x4H inches, front 36x4 inches; on
Model G., rear 32x4 inches; front, 32x
3H inches.
The tires are so large in proportion
to the weight of the automobile that
the usual tire troubles are avoided. 1t
is ostimpossible to get stone bruises
as the tires cannot be driven against
the rims.
There is no tire trouble with FRANKLIN.

The Rice Crop.

The recent rains, we understand, have been
heavier in Southwestern Louisiana and in the
coast sections of Texas than they were over this
way in the sugar belt. THE GUEYDAN News in
reviewing the rice situation indicates that the
outlook has improved considerably, the result of
the recent rains and that prospects are good for
an average yield on all the land that has, been
planted. The report is however to the effect
that some rice has been lost entirely by the
drought and some fields were never planted at
all, the result of which will be a materially re-
duced acreage any way.
The large supply of fresh water now avail
able in the bayous and lakes seems to eliminate
from the problem any danger of shortage Of
of water for irrigation during the next sixty
days, which will constitute the active irrigating
season. The adverse influences prevailing thus
far in the rice districts are leading to diversifi-
cation of crops and it is evident this will be a
very beneficial modification in Southwest Lou
isiana and Southeast Texas.
