NEWFANE.
Appeal for Helping Hand.

Our people realize more and more
the great loss that has fallen upon our
village and especially Mr.. Goodnow.
The burning of Elm Hall and the de-
struction of the magnificent elms and
naples that have beautifed that corner
for nearly a century is a calamity that
may well appall the stoutest heart
Although much was saved from the
flames thanks to the prompt action of
the villagers and farme cs and citizens
of Townshend, Brookline and Williams
Vile, to whom Mr.. and Mrs. Goodnow
feel grateful indeed = the loss was
heavy in view of the high cost of build
ing, and many of our citizens wish to
show their sympathy in some practical
way.
1t has been proposed that we have a
cleanup rally this week and remove
the rubbish from the cellar There are
willing workers in the village. Will
the farmers give half day with their
teams? Please report to w p Eames and
organize for the work at once. Let us
all lend a hand.

per-SiX. 1t will be compared with no
other car. No other car has shown
its records for performance and en-
durance. No other car has proved so
popular. Today you can buy phae-
ton, seven-passenger model, for
$3.50. Other models compared to
similar types of other cars are equally
as favorably priced. But to take adj
vantage Of these present prices you
must act promptly.
When the present supply of ma
terials is exhausted, the price must
be advanced. 1t will then be in
fiuenced by the present higher ma

Former cheaper cars now cost
about as much as a Hudson Super
Six. That is because of the head
long increase in material costs. Some
materials are almost double the costs
of last year. The Hudson Super
Skies now built are from materials
contracted last year. Since then
other companies, having exhausted
their supplies, have had to buy in the
present market. That accounts for
their price increases. When Hudson
materials are exhausted, then the
Hudson price, too, must go up.
The Super-SiX was the choice
against other cars when its price was
5000 to $500 above them. That was
shown by its sales Almost 10000
ears were sold, which is more than
the total sales of any two of the cars
