The great educational fund cam
paign Of the Southern Methodist

state OF Kentucky and the local
churches launched their drive to raise
the quota which has been apportioned
them In the effort
At the First NJ. Il. Church, South,
Mr.. Maurice Kirk has been chosen d.
rector and on Sunday an every-mem-
ber canvass was made in which the
greater part Of the church's quota Of
$500 was pledged. The quota Of the
the Little Brick" church is $1,000
and this will be raised within short
time through an every-member can
vass.,
The sum being sought in Kentucky
is $1,120,000, divided into 100000 for
the Louisville Conference, including
Louisville, apd $4,000 for the Ken
tucsky conference, including Lexing-
ton.
Rev. Leonidas Robinson, Education
al Secretary for the Louisville confer
ence. and Rev. DR.. o. B. Crockett, Win
chester, Educational Secretary for the
Kentucky Conference, report that
many congregations will have. raised
quotas Sunday afternoon. The appeal
officially ends June S.
Lack Of trained ministers and the
need Of leaders in all walks Of life who
are equipped with strong moral train
ing are arguments offered by those
who are seeking pledges from each Of
the 100000 Methodists in Kentucky.
Six Kentucky colleges and schools
which are seeking aid through the

Russellville; John c. c. Mayo College,

c. Walter Hussey Owned FRS,
Machine Bought From Manufae-

cor
Especial to the Journan


Waterville Feb. 26-In these days
of automobiles, that are built with
every convenience and one might say
luxury, it is interesting to reminisce
and look back to the first automobile
| that appeared on the streets of Wa
terville. After careful research, it
was found that the first automobile
that was ever seen here was made
by the Lombard Brothers, A. o. and
S. w. Lombard. The motive power
was a small steam engine and boiler
and the machine had much the ap-
pearance of wagon. In this ma
chine NJ. o. Lombard made a trip to
Aroostook county in 1890 successful
ly. Mr.. Lombard has picture of the
machine hanging in his home on Elm
street.
The first automobile bought from
a manufacturer was that of c. Wal
ter Hussey, Esq. 1t was a Locomo-
bile and bought from Stanley Broth
ers in Newton. Mass. for $780, This
was also a steamer and built like a
top buggy, with a seat wide enough
for three people, provided the people
were not too large. The engine was
placed beneath the floor of the ma
chine and on the front was dash
board. Mr.. Hussey attended the au-
/ tomobile show in New York in the
winter of 1890 and on May 16, 1900 he
bought his first car. The machine
was shipped by boat from Boston to
Gardiner and Mr.. aHussey went to
Gardiner and was driven home in
his machine by the man who came
along with it. Mr.. Hussey's first trip
with the machine alone was a drive
to Bangor He says it is a miracle
| that he met with no accidents for
he knew very little about it's mech
anism. All along the way he met
people who were loud in their con-
demnation of the "horseless carriage
which was destined to come into use
and cause no end of trouble to the
| farmer when he drove to market with
old Dobbin, only to be scared out of
his wits when he met one of those
"'ere contraptions." Mr.. Hussey re-
calls party of three women who
We're riding along in farm wagon
and he turned out to the extreme
edge of the road to allow them to
pass. First he received a berating
because he had driven out so far that
he was in danger of tipping over and
that was what scared the horse and
the next minute he was scolded with
equal righteousness for trying to
drive his machine into the road again.
When he drove over through the
country to his old home in Palermo,
people who could hear the cumming
of the machinery used to rush to the
doors and windows to see him pass.
1t was never ending source of Won
derment for the first year that Mr..
Hussey owned his automobile, but
they soon became more plenty and
many additions and improvements
were made.
This wasn't his first machine.

CLOSED MODELS
Public Turning More
to the Glassed in
Type of Auto

The motoring public is turning
its attention to closed cars more
than ever this year. Especially in
Maine there is always felt the need
of the various types of motor cars
that. provide shelter from the damp
weather and the seclusion that is
demanded of conveyances used for
both business and social purposes.
The Hudson and Essex closed
car line this year Is particularly in
teresting and complete. The new
addition to the line,a the cabriolet,
is a very smart two scatter. de-
signed to meet particular need of
business and professional men and
women for both day and evening
use.
Other cars in the closed car line
are the limousine. touring limou-
sine, sedan and coupe.
Maine is especially adapted for
touring. Its inland lakes, noun
tains and beautiful coast line APP
peal to the call of the motor en-
thusiast. The weather is always
an element to be considered when
touring or spending a vacation in
an open car. The closed automo-
bile is more especially appealing,
because by means of their window
lowering device they can be changed
at a moments notice into almost
the equivalent of the touring car or
phaeton. When the storm or the
cold weather is at it's worst, by the
aid of the heater the car can be. as
comfortable as in ones own home.
All of the closed Hudson and Essex
cars named are equipped with the
devices for changing the open car
into the closed and vice versa.
Today Hudson continues to be
the largest selling fine car in the
world. The Essex is in reality a
smaller Hudson. The company is
entering it's twelfth year. Each
milestone has been a distinct record
of progress. The greatest achieve
ment of course was the advent of
the Super-SiX model in 1916. Since
that year over 100000 have been
sold. There have been no radical
changes since then but every model
has shown greater refinements, a
steady working toward the maxi
mum of service and reliability.
The public recognizes that if any,
thing is desirable now it is stabil-
ity. not only of the product but of
the company that stands behind
it. There is without question diff
ferent state of buying mind today
People scrutinize their purchases
more carefully. To use an old
homely expression things must, be
"all wool and a yard wide That
is why Hudson and Essex, along
with several others will stand the
test of the present market

BUILT BY men

Stevens Durea, Inc has given a
new impulse and new application
to the craftsmanship" of Old New
England. The individuality and skill
of the traditional artisan have been
once more heralded around the world,
and with this impression etched into
the background there has been pre-
scented the conception of very fine
car built by men, rather than mere
machines. For more than a year the
new interests have been engaged in
this way in creating as it were, a
rarefied atmosphere surrounding the
revived Stevens Duryea car, one of
the oldest, lines in the business, and
in it's day, one of the best.
AS now being manufactured. the
Stevens Duryea car is both like and
unlike its prototype. Structurally
the good points of the original have
been left intact. In appearance,
however, it is markedly changed for
the better. 1t would be recognized
anywhere by automobile men as a
fine car of New England build! The
full bodied, conservative lines, wide
guards, and running boards, deep and
lustrous finish and superlative trim
and accoutrement, denote at once
the luxurious character of the prod
uct and bespeak the locality of it's or
igin. Such features observable in
the performance of smooth pickup.
silent operation, soft, but not sag
ging suspension, are instantly appre-
ciable. 1t is most obviously the kind
of a car the fastidious and affluent
New England purchaser has always
insisted upon having, and which is
recognized everywhere as a correct
