1 1 I NEWS WANT ADS DIAL 6441 THE BANGOR DAILY NEWS, BANGOR, MAINE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1938 19 1939 Hudson Country Club Custom Sedan New Hudson Country Club Custom Sedan for Six Passengers. Eight cylinders, base offered for 1939 in a wide selection of colors. Airfoam seat cushions are Three new lines of cars featured by entirely new styling and many important engineering changes are presented by the Hudson Motor Car Company for 1939. They are. the Hudson 112 in the lowest price Held with 86 horsepower and an overall length of new Hudson Six just above the lowest price field with 96 horsepower and an overall length of 193 and in the moderate price field new Country Club series with both six and eightcylinder motors giving respectively 101 and 122 horsepower and an overall of plus special cylinder Custom Sedan with 206" overall length.

As an instance of the lowered cost to the 1939 buyer for the kind of a cAr he wants, equipped as he wants it, even the 1939 Hudson 112, in the lowest price field, has 27 items added to the standard equipment of the car which were not on last year's models. There are 7 body colors available at no extra cost, four of which are opalescent, an exclusive feature in the lowest price field. Important engineering refinements which materially improve riding comfort, safety, roadability and general performance characteristics have been introduced. Outstanding among these developments is the entirely new ride resulting not only from an important advancement in chassis stabilization known as AutoPoise Control, but also from the introduction of the Airfoam seat cushion which is standard equipment on the entire Country Club series and all convertible models, and optional in Hudson 112 and Hudson Six closed cars. Cushions are made from Latex or pure "milk" of the rubber tree.

In manufacture it is beaten into foam, The individual bubbles in the Latex are not sealed but intercommunicate in such a way that the air flows about through the cushion during the ride. The surface of the cushion is also perforated with thousands of needles in the process of manufacture, so that the air can flow through it as freely As through a fabric, thus completely aircooling and ventilating the cushion. The gearshift lever on all models now operates by the remote control method with the lever beneath the steering wheel. This Handy Shift system clears the front compartment giving full 55-inch width, three passenger comfort in the front seat and also permits shifting of gears without distracting the driver's vision from the road. It may be used with the automatic clutch, thus eliminating all need for pushing the clutch pedal.

Performance characteristics of the three lines of cars have been generally improved. On the Hudson 112 the horsepower has been increased from 83 to 86. This has been accomplished by an improved carburetion system. An improved non-crystallizIng type of bearing metal for main and connecting rod bearings has been adopted for longer life and superior frictional qualities. Hudson also makes available this year fresh air and heat control unit known As the -Master." An adapter combined with Hudson heater assures clean circulating air, heated in winter and cooled in the summer time.

capacious Carry-All Luggage Compartment is a feature in all three 1939 Hudsons. Completely concealed in the clean, streamlined body contour with no sacrifice of interior room in the rear compartment this luggage compartment, provides more storage space than most other touring models. Trunk models are also available which still further Increases luggage carrying space. ON AND OFF THE FARM By G. M.

HATCH For some reason vegetables, like beets and turnips, are small this season in this section of Maine, whatever they may be in other parts of the state. It may have been caused by wet weather at first or by too much dry weather later in the season. Eggs seem to have their ups and downs, first a rise in price and then drop, with the process repeated. Whether this will continue or if the price will be down to around 25 cents around February is something of a conundrum. So far as reported this part of Maine has little of blown down timber.

An occasional tree here and there about all that has been noted. The writer had expected all fruit would have been detached from its moorings during the heavy gale but lots of hand-picked apples are in the market with all the appearance of truthfulness. Also the apples are of good size, Mcintoshes in particuJar. The 100 head of cattle advertised at auction by E. G.

Wheeler of Farmington were all sold and prices above what was expected. A crowd of 400 WAS there. R. C. Hall of Wilton has been buying in some fancy cattle, among them the fancy 7-foot 4-inch twoyear-old Hereford steers of Arthur French of Farmington, and also he bought one of the Franklin county.

baby beef steers to mate one that he already had and made up a nice pair by the trade. Mr. French has already bought eight calves, six of them white faces, that he will winter. H. J.

Mosher, one of the best known Maine breeders of registered Jersey cattle is recovering from his late serious illness at the Franklin Memorial hospital. Mr. Mosher WAs a member of the 1937-38 legislature and is senior partner in the Franklin Farms Products which puts up beans, sweet corn and apples. A recent number of the Jersey breed organ has for its cover page an air view of Mr. Mosher's Summit Farms on Mosher Hill, Farmington.

The story was evidently also written at a bit long range, erring in some of the minor details but giving several well worth a reprint, especially in production statistics. Mr. Mosher has been breeding Jerseys for more than thirty years but his first notable advance was when he secured the bull, Wonder Boy's Zander, something less than fifteen years ago who 18 now I silver medal, gold medal bull, and also tested sire, thirteen of his daughters averaging on a mature annual basis lbs. butter fat. Zander's Buttercup, which he bred, tested on the same basis in consecutive years 793.33, 971.40, and 988.24 lbs.

fat, the latter the high record for Maine bred Jersey cow. Her daughter, Buttercup's Summit Girl, as a junior three year old, produced 724.59 fat, and daughter of Zander was state champion junior four-year-old with a 305 day test of 617.59 lbs. fat. which also made her a silver ist and also gave her a gold medal.

All cars including the 112 are finished in -lacquer. The lacquer finish employed is all hand polished to a fine smooth finish, extra heavy coats being applied at points recelving unusual wear such as over any projecting surface or corner. This type of polished, reinforced lacquer finish is characteristic of the highest grade and highest priced automobiles. An advantage of the lacquer system of painting is that it can be provided in opalescent finishes. Many opalescent colors are offered in the 1939 Hudson line.

New Salon interiors are provided throughout the entire line. On the Hudson 112, the upholstery material includes diamond weave boucle and biege Wooltwist. The Instrument panel is in natural wood -grain finish with harmonizing. trim. Balancing the speedometer is an attractive clock.

On the Hudson Sixes and Hudson Country Club series electric clocks are provided. Arm rests and ash trays are provided in all front and rear compartments. All three lines of cars have draftfree wing ventilation, and on the Country Club Eights the ventilating wings can be rolled down into the doors, an exclusive feature. On the convertible cars, hand-bufted leather upholstery is employed instead of cloth in all series except the Hudson 112, in which deep-buffed leather is standard. Airfoam cushions are standard in all convertible coupes and broughams.

These are also standard in all Country Club. models. The coupes are available in both five-passenger Victoria (all gers riding inside), four-passenger Hudson 112 Victoria, as a three passenger cars. Available also for the first time this year are a number of interesting accessories including even a wiper for the rear window which protects the driver's vision to the rear by removing snow or rain. and a new superintendent not poultry man found it easier to yieid than to argue so they all came in.

There were some who urged for utility class and it WAS easier to yield to that insistence so the prizes were divided fancy and utility, which as carried out probably means paying out quite bit more money than nerd be. There is likely more difference between the beef and dual purpose Shorthorn than between the fancy and so-called utility birds but in the 'instance of the cattle they go in one class. It makes big show of hens to have it this way and the cost not nearly what one might expectaround $460, according to official figures. The only thing is there might be more useful, better poultry with practical farmer fowl and possibly a bit higher prizes obtained. Everything is pleasant when everybody has his own way, so it may well gO at that, JERSEY MEN JUBILANT Everywhere there is the feeling of elation over the big showing of sey cattle at the National Daify Show.

Also it was a quality exhibit. There is a rivalry or the disposition to have something better each year which is bearing fruit. It is seldom the major prizes go to the same herd in consecutive years which is all to the good for the future of the breed. There WAs time when pictures of animals meant very little as they were from drawings, as matter of fact, more frightful than faithful, 85 depicting prize winning bovines, The camera has changed all that. The prize winners of today in Jerseydom are creations of beauty well nigh faultless in form and with utility, butter fat production brought along, It is a pity that other partisans of the dairy breeds do not pay more attention to this beauty of form rather than the purely commercial phase of more milk and more butter fat.

Smoothness of superficial surface is encouraged and angularity not at all in favor according to the way the artist shows up the winning specimens. Maine breeders who are successful in the show rings are moving along in these prescribed lines having pleasure in looking over their creative handiwork and getting their pay at the pail as the procession moves along. An occasional high scoring female of the same lines of breeding added to the herd will tone up the effect and probably give a new future herd sire which would be a saving clause as affecting the family "wallet."

Gates' decision to leave Dartmouth college and 1ta football team for the life of a religious cultist added another episode tonight to the colorful history of Frank W. Sanford's "Holy Ghost and Us" society, which flourished here at the turn of the century. In Boston, where the stellar blocking back's resignation from college was made known, college spokesmen said he was a member of the "Legion of God." a cult at Amherst, N. that sprang up after the original "Shiloh" colony here tell on hard days. "divine voice" prompted Sanford to found his sect here, and in a few years it had attracted nearty 1,000 members and reported $1,500,000 they had turned over to the cult "for the common good." For several years the colonists lived and worshipped communally in their hilltop "Shiloh" and then Sanford set forth to evangelize the world.

At one time the society had six sailing ships spreading its word. One of them, the one-time America's Cup defending schooner Coronet, put into Portland in 1911 after an. evangelization voyage during which six Shilohites had died of exposure, scurvy or starvation. Sanford was convicted of manslaughter and served six years. in federal prison.

The colony had broken up when Its "Elijah" left the penitentiary, and his whereabouts since have been mystery. Recent years, however, have seen resurgence of activity in the weather -beaten hilltop temple here, under Sanford's son John, and at Amherst under another son, Frank, Jr. Coupled with reports of this new activity have been frequent rumors, none of them confirmed, that the elder Sanford, who now would be 76 years old if alive, had returned and was preaching at the two colonies.

Wonder Boy's Zander WAS offered gratis to Mr. Mosher when a few days old by his breeder, George M. Luce, and the dam of the state high cow was purchased by Mr.

Mosher from C. E. A. J. Luce, remembered As being bred by them.

Palatine Golden Sultan, whose three daughters developed by Mr. Mosher averaged 580 fat was purchased as yearling, not as a calf. At the head of the Mosher herd now is Zander Buttercup Sultan, son of Palatine Golden Sultan and Zander's Buttercup. He 18 big bull on short legs, his calves are well liked and the daughters can hardly fail of high production. A POULTRY NEW DEPARTURE There is to be a change in Barred Plymouth Rock matings sanctioned by the powers that be in poultrydem whereby instead of two varieties, the light and the dark there will be but one which will be a happy medium between the two, the bars of the male of the same width and those of the female two-thirds as wide for the light as for the dark bars.

In the earlier days it was considered impossible to produce a standard colored bird by a single mating the breed having been originated by the mating of a Dominique male and a Black Java hen. In the original the male was too light and the pullets too dark, The single mating seemed to tend toward the female with too wide barring, a sort of splashy look. The Barred Rock was always the favorite breed of the writer, who bred and exhibited locally, usually first prize winners. The lighter specimens were always his favorites and he never used but the single mating. There WAS strong protest from leading breeders 88 to separation cf the exhibition birds into two divisions.

This action led to certain confusion and the breed lost popularity among the fanciers if there are such now. Any. way, we don't read of cockerels seliin; for from $250 to $500 in these days as WAS once the case. It will be interesting to note the success of this new line of breeding in which the idea is certainly right even if it should not work out successfully. The Rock WAS long the favorite farmer's bird and might again resume first place.

POULTRY IN FRANKLIN COUNTY The poultry show at Franklin County fair is one of the largest of any, similar fair in the state, perhaps the largest; fourteen to fifteen hundred birds, according to the statement of the assistant superintendent. They offer prizes for all standard breeds in pens and singles, AS a former secretary, the writer was instrumental in materially Increasing the prizes on pens and single individuals with the idea of not encouraging those birds which seemed of little use to the breeder but which do belong in regularly organized poultry exhibition. The breeders of pet fowl and new breeds were urgent, even insistent, on having the opportunity to show.
