AUTOMOBILES CUT

Franklin Official Sees ExpIa-

The noticeable change OF attitude
toward municipal ownership. on the
part OF street car companies, relates
very closely 20 the tremendous pro-

dent OF The Franklin Automobile Co.
Considering this evidence OF re-
duced patronage Mr. Franklin says
the whole circumstance reflects a
radical change in the mode Of travel

however, the automobile has become
as much OF a convenience with wom-

eral practice for ladies TO have free
access TO the family car at all times.
The advent OF enclosed cars has
carried the every day use OF the au-
tomobile into the winter season. Cars
are now very seldom put away for
the cold weather. with the result
that the reliance OF many motorists
upon street cars for winter travel is
to a great extent nullified

nc enjoyed by street railway lines
are the short hauls I'm the downtown

CIRCUIT COURT

Judge Collins held court for shorv
time Saturday. He sentenced Robert
Newton, of Owosso, to 45 days in Jail,

vorce in the case of Eugene Vibbert
VS.. Susie Vibbert of Corunna, on
grounds of cruelty.
The records of County Clerk Bur-
nett show that since January /, 161
chancery cases and Sc law cases have
been started. During the entire year

pleasure possible from hearing these
noted educators.
