Of the continuous attacks of the First

The good roads movement is seeing
big revival now that business Is
becoming normal. The most impor-

pf Michigan. which has Just voted in

when carried out, will place Michigan

Everywhere else you see also more
interest in good roads than in any
period in our history. It is true TO say
that the war and its needs taught us
the value of good roads. Perhaps It
did. Perhaps it brought home to those
dull ears of higher ups the supreme

FRANKLIN AGENCY ESTAB-
LISHED IN THIS CITY

That Harrisburg and vicinity is
fast becoming q real center for high
class cars was further evidenced in
the announcement carried In yes
terday's Telegraph of the establish
ing here of an agency for the we'll
known Franklin cars. The Frank
lin had been sold in this territory
some time ago but was never push
ed to the same extent as other popu-
lar cars of its class and therefore
never became we'll known. How
ever, in other parts of the East,
the Franklin ranks high among the
popular priced cars and should be
we'll received here.
j. L. Weibley has secured the
Franklin franchise for this terri
tory and will maintain a sales and
service department at the Fishman
Garage at Fourth and Chestnut
streets.
The Franklin has an air-cooled
motor, is exceedingly light and is
backed by one of the reputable auto
mobile firms of this country. One
of the claims of this company is
that the Franklin will do 20 miles
to the gallon of gasoline and 10000
miles to the set of tires.

This truck is built the same as
the larger Selden truck and is being
made to meet the large demand for
trucks of that capacity. The Sell
den truck was used extensively dur
ing the war by the Government and
it was through the use of the lighter
trucks and the need for a sturdy
smaller truck in their line that the
Selden factory decided to turn out
the special model. Deliveries are
expected at any time.

Chile. says that the report from
Buenos Aires earlier in week TO ef-
feet that sixty officers of the Chilean
army were under arrest in conn ection

that few officers OF the Santiago
garrison assembled to ask the gov
ment to introduce certain laws which
they thought would be beneficial to
the country, especially laws against
Bolshevism. The government decid-
ed that this attitude was contrary to
army discipline and ordered that two
generals and q few other officers be
censured severely.
The Chilean public and press gen.
orally approved of the step taken by
the government, It is added. and the
incident was closed without any i'm
portance being attached to it.
