All along the Franklin has dem
onstrated its wonderful power of en
durance; its absolute reliability to go
anywhere and to return safely; its
economical up keep, its ample speed,
its grace, its beauty, and all along it
has won the admiration or Ameri
cans from one end of the country to
another. Its remarkable perfor
mances are not confined to any par
ticular section. It is awarded prizes
for important contests in Nebraska
as well as in New York. It goes
against all comers regardlessly it
wins when there is a ghost of a show
for a car to win.
I am proud of the Franklin. I
love to sell the Franklin. It is the
best car, I conscientiously believe,
in its class and its class is the best
class A demonstration will put you
in love with the Franklin..

Judging from the opinlcms of sereraJ of

common gowip in motor circles that the

tended it as a trophy for a big road con-tet-
To change the race to a track event
would be to Chang the spirit of the be
quest. Vleweilrom any conceivable angle,
it la hard to Imagine bow the Cbicag

the Grand Prix for thi very reason. There
is no limitation on the engine dimensions,
which means a revival of Bennett Cup
days. To offset this slate of affairs a stock

many Continental followers of the sport.
Several prominent European manufactur
ers refused point brank to enter a Grand

This means that the stock car slogan of

The Woornan Circle, an independent

the Woodman of the World in the success
acheived in the past ten years. This period
bas been remarkable for the immense
growth of the insurance business. Many
cororanies have started with tiny begin

the Woodman Circle has shared in no sma'.l

K-wrt' insurance ventures which have de

player unskilled in the low penetrating

swerred and almost unchecked by wind

Under cond. lions of a bigh wlud the un
certain or Indifferent driver usually gels
little for hi effort, the ball - sway
fee-bly and ilki on the wind for a dis
tance and Is then blown back a lew yards

Kven when playir.g befit the wind the
aeak driver U pei.aliscd by it, for stta:iuj
to overcome ihe stroke lust ou tbe last
bole against the elements now that con
ditions seem to favor him, he presses and
the extra effort coupled with tendency of
the wind to deflect the circle of the. club
bead to tb balL tops the ball and suffers
whatever penalty there may lie ahead of
tb tee.
Against the wind it is beet lo flatten tbe
swing to the ball and play for a slight
book so as to get a low ball. By play
ing the ball a trifle further toward the
right, bringing the club stealer to tbe body
ou tbe back twU.a and endeavoring to
flatten the stroke, the desired bail may
be secured. Practice alone will give con
fidence In seeking distance with consis
tency under this condition of going.
Before the wind the ch4ef effort should
be to get the ball well up ar.d cleanly
away. A ball that ordinarily would not
go over V yards in still air will freguentiy
fly and roll to ITS feet before a wind. A
following wind in some way or other tends
to prevent the club bead geltintc down to
the ball. Therefore, it is safest to per
haps make the stroke a Utile mere verti
cal, being suie to get the ball cleanly off
the center of the club face.
Playing golf in the chill of the early
fall and winter seasons after month of

whole game. The wearing' of a heavy
