Since J. r. Spetter recently declared
himself in favor of closing his busl-
ness for one day at least to help the
farmers in the vicinity of the North
side build good roads, as was an
nounced in the State Journal, others
have made like agreements. The mat
ter IS talked of continually. 1t is more
than likely that a day will be soon set
aside for the purpose. Those who are
IN favor of the movement include A
c. Middaugh. Waldman & Shook, and
others.
The merchants Of the First ward
realize that as Mr.. Spetter has said,
the time in helping improve the roads
leading to the First ward would be
well spent. This is in connection with
the good roads movement which has
been taken up by the city as q whole.

\ FRANKLIN TIRE RECORD.

That a pair of rear tires on a touring
car can travel IL, 900 miles without
puncture or trouble of any description
seems incredible, but scores of people
in Winnipeg, Canada, are willing to
vouch for such a record established by
tires on q Franklin car owned by D.
Mcdonald.
The car is a fo1r-cylinder. 2S-horse-
power touring model and was placed
in service about two years ago. Since
then 1t has been run almost continu-
ously, even through the deep SHOWS.
Ten dollars. Mr.. Mcdonald states,
is an extremely high limit for his total
tire expense since he placed the car in
service. The record, he states, is due
to the light weight of the automobile,
coupled with the large tires. Another
Winnipeg mar who has made a record
is Edward Cass, who has driven 1000
miles with a 42-horsepower Franklin
and has had no punctures.
The registration of cars in New York
State has passed the 10000 mark. The
total for the year bids fair to exceed
last years by a comfortable margin.

such in F'aulk county left the middle
OF July after selling the crop he had

by the June and July outlook,
and left for Iowa. turning over the
crop to the owner of the land for the
rental they had agreed 10 pay. Now
the owner places a value OF from So

nants left just a few days before the
conditions shifted their way,
