Why We Became HUDSON Super
Six Dealers.
HUDSON,
SUPER
SIX
J70R years we, as well as you, no doubt,
have admired the achievements of the
HUDSON SUPER-SIX. We were first at
tracted to this world-famous fine car by its
speed-way records ? then by what owners
ers told us of their cars. j
A car that could win so many victories
must be superior, we thought. Then came
the trans-continental tour. A Hudson
touring car crossed and re-crossed the con
tinent in 10 days and 21 hours ? a record for
time each way never equalled.
As You must have Felt.
/~\UR admiration for the Super Six grew
greater still when we read of its climb
to the top of Pike's Peak, leading twenty
ether specially built care.
And then the praise we heard on every
side about the Super-Six determined us to
get the Hudson franchise for this territory.
It was not easy.
Hudson dealers must conform to certain
high standards. Everywhere they must be
the leading dealers with the largest sense
of responsibility and aggressiveness. Hud
son dealers have the finest Stores. They
give the best service. Only after proving
that we measured up to that standard were
we chosen.
And it is a matter of pride that Hudson
selected us. It takes us into the associa
tion of the type of automobile merchants
who lead. It is a great company's recog
nition of our fitness to 6erve you.
To-day the Hudson Super-Six leads all
motordom in endurance and performance.
Its exclusive type motor, minimizing fric
tion and vibration as it does, gives the Su
jper-Six reserve energy never called for in
ordinary service.
It is the Pattern Car.
IN Style and Design the Hudson Super-Six
* has long been the pattern car. Its lines
i are always years in advance. What is the '
current model this year was the Hudson
rnodel of a year or more ago.
Come in and see the Hudson Super-Six
at our Store. There are 60,000 in service,
i Every road knows the Super-Six, but it is
well to refresh your impressions of it in an
1 examination and ride in the present models.

BREATH OF SPRING
By AGNES G. BROGAN.
Bruce Williams turned impatiently
from the open window, through which
came u tempting spring breeze. All
morning a fever had possessed him
to lay aside the pressing work of the
day and seek held and meadow. This
urgent desire was unaccountable, but
at last with an abrupt order to his
8tenogrnpher he closed his desk and
went down to where a shining auto
mobile waited at the entrance to the
oflice building.
Tkougli a wealthy man and a ?oc
cesaful one In the business world, he
Iiad made few friends.
So Bruce Williams, rich, still young
and good to look upon, went a lonely
way.
He had wandered carefree through
violet-studded meadows, fishing rod
over his shoulder, and "the lillTfe home
to which he returned nt evening Joy
ously weary had seemed always to
beckon hitn with Its gleaming porch
arms. The little home? so long'einpty I.
The man nt nfTalrs thought of It on
this mystical spring day with a pang
about the heart which had seemed Im
mune to softer feeling. And an he
dismissed the chauffeur nnd took his
place at the wheel he decided suddenly
to run out to the country place, forty
miles away, where the little house
stood.
He wondered Idly if Chalmers, his
agent, had k?u?t ilie place up.
Fur away, crossing the small, rat
tling bridge, he could discern the porch
arms still finitely beckoning, and with
the sight came a past sensation of an
ticipated pleasure. Something nice
was going to happen. Bruce Wil
liams actually smiled. In the old days
anticipation had been satisfactorily
rewarded with flapjacks for supper or
some other treat his mother had In
store. But now ? the man's smile
changed suddenly to a sigh ? there
would be no one to .welcome biuj Id the
The Cause
of Jones' Fire
Sam: I see Jones burned out.
Bill: Yes, tossed a match
?way carelessly.
Sam: I read it was a leaky flue.
Tom: They told me it was
faulty insulation.
Dick: w I heard a curtain blew
into a gas jet.
George: No, his wife was clean
jig a suit with benzine.
Harry : They told tn e a kitchen lamp tipped over.
Ned: I heard that it caught from coals in the
tf ash box.
Bob : %. They say it was from looking into a
clothes closet with a lighted candle.
The real cause was carelessness ? the cause of 97% of all fires. ?
It is to prevent this ? to save lives and property and eliminate
fear that the Hartford Company has perfected its Fire Pr?

litlle porch, nothing to satisfy tills un- i
accountable longing which led him ,
I past fields of memory-fragrant violets
to a little old house door.
He left his car in the road and as
cended the steps; then as bare win
dows and floors proclaimed the house
vacant, he opened the unlocked door
and stepped inside. As he did so he
was aware of a sound in the adjacent
sitting room, and here upon a ladder
before a case of hooks he saw a young
woman. She was evidently removing
the books from their cases to pack
them in a box on the floor.
She. turned, startled for a moment
by his unexpected entrance. Then
she smiled.
"1 beg your pardon." said the girl,
and some strange wist fulness in voire
and sndle impressed Bruce Williams
as inexplicably as had the breath of
spring.
"You are the new tenant* of cours^.
We," the sweet voice trembled, "will
be ready soon \ to go. Mr. Chalmers
said that* you would want Immediate
possession. I am afraid I have been
very slow in moving but" ? her eyes
sought his appealingly ? "I've had ev
erything to do myself; you see, father
Is an Invalid."
Iirucfc Williams came nearer. "Toe
v have given up the place?" he n~ked.
(A rosy flush swept the irirl's face
Through it she looked at him bravely.
"We had to give it up," she exploited
"because we could no longer make the
payments on our home. So Mr. t'linl
liters foreclosed. An accident, making
father an invalid, and I his constant
nurse, frustrated our cherished p!;:ns.
It has all heeti very unfortunate, but ?
we^shall got along somk way.
"l>o you like flowers?" she asked
suddenly. "My garden has nlways
been beautiful. Many of the plants
will come up again. Father wished
me to keep it Just as It used to be
years ago, when an old neighbor of his
lived here."
With an eagerness he bail not known
for years the mart of affairs looked
Into the winsome girl's face.
"Were there hollyhocks along the
paths In those days?" he asked, "and
a creeper lose growing against the
upper rear window?"
"Why, yes." the girl replied. She
came down the ladder.
"And ? did your father by any
chance mention that same old neigh
bor's son? A happy-go-lucky boy,
awakening jpvery morning to the sight
of the rose in the window?"
The girt nodded and stalled her wist
ful smile.
"They tell me," she said, "that the boy
went away and became a rich man ?
successful ? and hard, Probably he
has forgotten Ids humble home and the
roses that grew in the window."
"Y<*t ? If he could come back to It
as It used to be. Just for a day," ?
murmured the man, the stern lines of
his face softening. "You see," be
duaea, "i nappen to t>e ? tnat boy. And
If you .and your father could be per
suaded to stay ou here, as caretakers
In a way, preserving for tue the old
house and garden, it would give to
me more real pleasure than 1 can ex
press." ?
The girl looked back at him. "Oh !"
she said, "if you really mean that, we
would be so glad to make It as it used
to be."
"With an old welcome when/ I
cotne?" asked the man whimsically.
"Welcome from every rose and hol
lyhock," smiled the girl.
And ns Bruce Williams rode away
he coula see her vstill standing in the
old house doorway, and he kuew that
the porch arm would beckon him In
sistently until ? he came again.

EZRA PROVED TRUE PROPHET
His Prediction That Funeral and Mar
riage Were Before Him Turned
Out to Be Exact.
T,ast week n friend drifted in frnra
the Oid dome Town, now 'JO years
hack of me. and we had a season of
gossip about the old acquaintances
which was soul satisfying. S:>tne of
the stories 'were pathetic, some were
/sordid, some were humorous, but ali
of ihern illustrated phases of life in a
country town. Perhaps this one about
Ezra was the best.
When I left the Old Home Town
Ezra was the possessor of a wife
whom he had had for 25 years or
more, and who was in fairly good
condition, although a little deaf, as
might well be. for no woman ever
talked more fluently or more willingly
than did her husband. For some rea
son she was taken ill and died, and
Ezra mourned her for a time, not an
exceedingly long time, and then he be
gan to take notice and presently mar
ried again.
This wife No. 2 was, of course, a
later model, but she. too, fell ill, and
the physician advised an operation.
Ezra hired an automobile and went
with her to the hospital, where the
physicians told him that there was lit
tle hope that she would recover. He
went home sorrowfully, and Anally he
hroke out to the driver in this way:
"Good Lord. I've got to go through It
all again ? bury this wife and then jfet
another one!"
And he was a true prophet for
things happened Just as he predicted.

ANY FOOL CAN FIND FAULT
Practically Impossible for Any Prop
osition, However Good, to De
Absolutely Without Flaw.
There is nothing however good but
a person may )find some fault in it if
he is determined to do so. There is
nothing perfect that is of man's mak
ing. There Is nothing that man origin
ates or performs but what contains
more or less of his weakness. Worth,
like water, must stay below the level
of its source. It is quite natural that
a person should dissent. The scientists
dispute as much as the theologians.
Every time one obtains a new stand
point he changes his opinion. Every
time he meets a friend he finds that
he differs.
So we must make up our mfnds to
disagree in t lie right spirit, observes
the Ohio State Journal. If we don't do
that and our disagreement falls into
ill will and anxiety, then we become
enemies of the truth and social pests
Im sides. The person we earnestly ami
candidly disagree with may be Nright
and ourselves wholly wrong. It would
make us feel very absurd* sometimes
Vi the midst of a violent controversy,
to have n sudden light let in on the
fontroversy and show our adversary
entirely right. The s?t?est thing, so far
as one's conduct toward him is con
cerned is to remember he may be right
and treat him accordingly.
