the path of financial success.
It's not a matter of chance or
luck or preferment. The explanation
for the high powered automobile

ho found in men. It Is possession or
lack of the will to achieve.
LOOKING BACKWARD
FOR CHARACTER BUILDING
Courts of law are supposed to
promoto peace and quiet and up
hold tho finer principles of life.
They are reterrents to crime and
human weaknesses. They servo their
mission well, with a few exceptions.
Ono of these glaring exceptions
came to light, recently when Juve
nile Judge Den Lintlsey of Denver
paid a fine of $500 and costs. Tho
children's Judge refused to tell what
ho knew about a murder. Tho facts
had been told in confidence by Noal
Wright, lfi years old. In a family
altercation Neil's father had been
killed.
Judge Lindsoy maintained that
tho boy had divulged the facts to
him in confldonco. Ho had helped
tho boy, was his friend.
Judge Llndsey upon refusing to
testify at a trial in tho state crim
inal court avuh hold in con.cnipt.
Tho case was appealed to tho United
States supremo court.
Judge Lindsey's conviction was up
hold. And J ml go Llndsey paid a flno
of $531 rather than betray tho con
fldonco of a child.
Wo suppose that a court must uso
duo pressure to get at overy atom
of evidence in a given case. Many
wnnt to testify who .should not, and
others who know tho true facta
shrink from tho publicity of tho
thing.
Yet somehow wo hold that Judge
Lindsoy played tho part of a real
man in defying the court nnd re
fusing to divulge the confidence of
a boy.
A confidence is a sacred thing be
tween two which no court, it seems,
should learn of. Suppose ou toll
pertinent facts to a friend' in your
hour of trouble) and he turned
around and used those confidential
facts to your hurt or your family's
hurt. What then?
Your faith in mankind would be
shaken. From that day forward you
would doubt overy motive, every In
tent which operates in this world.
You'd be a bit less wholesome, a
hit loss manly or womanlv.
Somehow wo I'olt that Jud;u Lin;l
Key in defying the solemn order of
tho court did much to streugilun
faith In young people that this
world is good and that by ami large,
people are stiuuro shooters.
The $r!ll paid as a fine, is money
well spent. It goes to character
building.
(From The Chronicle, May 14, 189G.)
Messrs. n. S. Huntington, John Ml

a campaigning tour tills morning.
They will go to Antelope and then
cross over into Sherman coun'y,
speaking at the principal points there.
They expect to return in about four
days, after which other places In the
county will bo visited.

WILL TO ACHIEVE
Tho other day a wealthy man of
this community rode down tho
street in hi- high-powered automo
bile. A man standing on a Second
Htruot corner sighed and said, "1
can't understand how some fellows
win and others lose. Now there's
not much difference between that
lilrd nnd me."
Ho was right, not much difference.
The man who rode in tho automo
bile had the will to achieve coupled
with tho tenacity to fight through to
work day and night to ' make his
plans materialize. The man who
tood on tho street cornor, often

TIRE PRICES

comparative service tires cost less to
day than ever before.
The rubber industry is to be com
plimented on its rapid progress to
ward normal. Leaders of the Industry
frankly state that the recent price re
adjustment is not warranted by their
actual factory production costs but
that it represents an earnest effort
to meet the wishes of tho admlnlstra
Hon and the general public In the
establishment of lower price levels
on which all classes of trade can
unite and transact business.

The Franklin Gar and the
Present Buying Standard
-J

I
THE favorable position which
the Franklin holds among
motor cars is based on a wide
appreciation of its value.
Today the motorist is interested
as never before in the facts backing
his purchase.
As a reflex of the buying spirit of
the recent "easy days" comes a full
consideration of the fundamentals
of value price and performance.
One without the other means
nothing.
As far as price is concerned, the
Franklin position established Sep
tember 23, 1920, speaks for itself.
When viewed side by side with
Franklin prices, Franklin perform
ance is emphasized more than ever.
Such comparisons invariably
show how the characteristic prin
ciples of light weight, flexible
construction and direct air cooling
result in these outstanding Franklin
Advantages:
Ability to travel the longest dis
tances in a day
To cover rough roads comfort
ably and safely, without fear of tire
troubles or breakage, without skid
ding To go where others can't, and
when they can't, with no fear of
overheating in summer, with no
need of blankets, anti-freeze mix
tures, or draining or refilling in
winter
To start easily or surely, and run
steadily, regardless of temperature
or altitude-
To avoid annoying delays on the
road, and troublesome duties at the
end, free from all sense of strain or
worry
All this throughout an unusually
long car life, and with economy that
is unequalled:
20 miles to the gallon of gasoline
12,500 miles to the set of tires ' .
