Resembled Prayer Meeting.
Except for the delectable and
well-served luncheon, the tables
gaily decorated with golden core
opsis the suffrage color- and the
absence of an occasional amen.
the gathering resembled an old-time
Methodist prayer meeting. There
were testimonials! admonitions, good
resolves and close communion of
spirit. Mrs. Guy Kiddoo toast
mistress, took as her text, "The Re
sponsibility of the Young Women of
Today Toward the Next Genera
tion, saying that the older women
who have worked unceasingly, and
with final success, for equal suf
frage hate given that heritage to
women who would otherwise spend
their lives in an endeavor to win it
"Having made auoh definite gain, it
is for the young woman of today
to hold high the torch which lights
tne path to further progress, she
said.
Tells of Long Struggle.
Mrs. Halleck Rose pictured Tid
ily for her heaters the 50 years of
struggle leading up to the insertion
of one three-lettered word, "sex,"
in tho 15th amendment to our fed
eral constitution. Mrs. A. W. Tef
feris, wife of the congressman from
this district, said she was glad her
husband had been afforded the op
portunity to vote in favor of -this
epochal measure. Mrs. C. C. Bel
den emphasized the need for contin
ued activity, and Mrs. Philip Pot
ter paid tribute o the national and
state workers who have been inde
fatigable in their efforts to make
equal suffrage a realization.
Other speakers were Mr. and
Mrs. C. S. Stebbins. Mrs. Z. T.
Lindsay, Mrs. J. M. Metcalfe, Mrs.
E. G. McGilton, Mrs. E. H. Cole
and Mrs. Morrison, who read from
a "Declaration of Sentiment" drawn
up 71 years ago at the Seneca Fa'ls,
N. Y., convention in the interest
of equal suffrage the first such
convention held, among whose ear
nest workers was. William Lloyd

Bank Charters.
Washington, June 18. (Special Tere
(rram.) The charter of the City National
bank of Lincoln, Neb., has been extended
to June 26, 1939.
A charter has been granted for the
American National bank of Cheyenne
Wyo., with a capital of 155(1,090.
As a result the new Super-Six starts
easier, rides easier . and runs more
smoothly. All the old qualities are re
tained many are enhanced.
Think of the value of such a test as
the double trans-continental run in
Which a sevenpassenger touring car
made the roUnd trip from San Francisco
to New York in 10 days, 21 hours. Or
the 24-hour run in which one man drove
1,819 miles. So also of the many speed
way contests. Records more minute
than the temperature charts of the most
careful physician were kept of every,
phase of Hudson tests. As a result.
Hudson engineers found ways of enlarge
ing Super-Six attributes, hot possible un
der other circumstances.
That is why each hew Hudson is su
perior to its predecessor. It is why the
new model is more desirable than any
that has preceded it
As Always in the Past,
Hudsons Are Scarce
- There have never been sufficient-Hud-sons
to meet normal demand. Mid-sea
son has always seen a Hudson shortage.
This year is no exception.
Dealers are keeping delivery lists
made up in the same sequence as orders
are placed.
Some dealers are already sold out for
weeks ahead. The situation grows more
acute daily.
So see about your Hudson now.
