Grandfather's Ways Only Edifying.

All grandfather had to do was to sup
ply food for 23,000.000 persons. His ways
are sdifying to read about. but worthless
to copy now. Why hamper the farmer who
is working from dawn to dusk TO help win
the war by making him try to haul
food supplies roads that grandfather
knew very well were wretched?
1 There are many roads of general i'm
portance to the public which are great
~ in need Of reconstruction or repair
to make them serViceable as arteries
for the delivery Of farm products to
market. The railways are 50 con2ested
that they cannot haul these products
except by using cars needed for long
haul business. The improvement of
these reads was planned last year but
the work is delayed by the inability
of railways to deliver materials. Ii is

Others Haze Increased Their
Prices-Not Hudson

Other makers are now announcing price increases
which brings the former $1,000 and 1900 cars
into the Hudson class Until present material sup
plies are exhausted Hudson prices remain unchanged
So you can get for limited time Super-Six at
price not influenced by present high material COSTS
When the present allotment is exhausted then
Hudson too must 60 up in price.
For months Hudson has been the largest selling
fine car. It's popularity and the growing scarcity
and increasing cost of materials hasten the day
when you must pay more than you can buy Super
Six for today.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-07-22

And every Hudson test proves that in these respects
there is no car that equals it.
Convincing as the official records are, there is
still further proof that other car has to offer
equal advantages. These proofs are furnished by
$4,000 Hudson Super-Six owners. They have
added their experiences to the official tests.

Stock Hudson Super-Six cars deliberately
sent through tests more trying, more destructive,
than any the average driver could imagine.
For one hour, a fully equipped phaeton with top
and windshield up and carrying five passengers, was
sent at top speed 1t averaged OLA miles an hour
and established the best time for such perfor-
nance with stock car. The test officially
observed by the American Automobile Association
1t is just one of the many similar tests to prove
endurance.
1t was not preconceived campaign of tests that
set out to make. Each test was thought suf
fcient in itself. But just the giant is surprised
as he realizes the with which he accomplishes
each feat that he had felt would try his strength,
SO the Super Six has easily met every test that
more trying and abusive trials have been devised.
View sure that in the "a hour test stock chas-
sis would break all previous records. But
thought it would go 347 miles farther than any
other car had ever gone in "a hours. The Super

Six covered 1919 miles, 1t broke all records for
travelling machine.
So, too, when seven-passenger Super Six set out
from San Francisco for New York it was with con-
fdence that it would lower the time of all other
transcontinental runs. It did so by IA hours and
SO minutes. Then because the run had been made
easily and without special planning, the car was
turned around and raced back to San Francisco
In the return trip it also did better than any other
automobile had ever done in crossing the continent
in either direction. Hudsons round trip required
10 days and 21 hours.
Because of the ease with which the Super-Six has
met every trial, it has always suggested something
harder to do.

476 new MEMBERS
AUGUSTA RED
SINCE FRIDAY

The Augusta district has added 47G
new members to the Red Cross since
the final meeting OF team workers at

This number has been wired to Port

lists in the records for the State Of

fallen far below Kennebec county in
their efforts to secure their full quota
Of new members.
Adam j. Leighton, State chairman,
wired Chairman Guy p. Gannett: Eff
teen thousand more new members
needed by Saturday night to make
states quota. How many additional
members will your Chapter prom
ise?"
In reply to this, the news was sent
that the Augusta district had 476 more
to report, with a few others coming.
No further effort will be made to fill
the gap from the Augusta district for

The Portland Argus reports that the
three-masted schooner Charles H.
TricKey. which recently arrived there
coal laden from New York, has finished
discharging and has been hauled up at
one Of the wharves for the winter. 1t
will be remembered hat the Trickey,
which is a frequent visitor at Augusta
and ether kernebec river ports during
the summer months, was on the trip
above mentioned laden with coal for
the Purinton Bros. Co. and a for
several weeks held at Gloucester by ad-
verse winds, so hat at about the time
she arrived at the Kennebec the river
was closed by ice. and the schooner
was taken to Portland where her cargo
was discharged and forwarded to Au-
gusta by rail. Speaking Of the Tricky,
the Argus says there are out few Of the
smaller sized Maine coasting s~chooners
now in commission. the majority of
them having gone into winter quarters,
the reason given being that with the
kind Of weather which has prevailed
for the past six weeks. there is but little
money in the coastwise business, owing
to the high wages 10 demanded by
sailors, especially so where the loss cf
q single sail would eat UP practically
the entire profits of the trip.

CHEER up!
Red Cross Entertain
ment and Charity
to Be a Great Success Next
Monday Evening at the City Hall,
Where a Great Crowd Is Already As
S1red

Red Cross members. now nearly
1000 strong III the Augusta territory,
are going to have their big chance for
entertainment and charity combined
on Monday evening at City hall, when
the committee hat has successfully
managed 50 many charity events in
Augusta presents their Cheer Up!
Many inquiries were received today
for tickets and table reservations from
nearby towns, which indicates a good
attendance from outside Augusta, even
if weather conditions are a little rig
orous. Local demand for reservations
is also brisk and will doubtless clean
up all available space before Monday
night.
Refreshments of the most delicious
sort will be prepared by Augusta wo-
men for this charity ball. In theory.
the cakes and candies are all to be
prepared on a strictly Hoover basis;
but in all likelihood these excellent
housekeepers will not let their con-
sciences stand in the way of prepar-
ing something toothsome, even If it
becomes necessary, for the moment,
to turn their Food Conservation cards
to the wall.
The committee on vaudeville has
been meeting at short intervals of late
and it Is evident that they have con-
siderably more in store than has yet
been announced.
Rehearsals on another good act
started last night, more definite an
nouncemeht OF which will be made

But we'll not parade in Heaven,
For we've done our hitch in H!
We've killed a million rattlesnakes
That tried to take our cots.
We've shaken scores Of centipedes

And we lay aside Iife's cares
And we do u last parading
Up the shining golden stairs.
